if i have the head and intake man from a 95 civic si in a 91 crx, what would be a good bottom end to use?

Block, pistons, rods and crank are the bottom end, the head is the top end. Just put some integra pistons in your 1.5 along with a y8 head gasket then slap your head on.

i know what the fuck the bottom end is ryan! im not that slow! I just wanted to know if i should slap a civic bottom end on there or keep my stock one

Rexy Girl for your phone #....If you don't want to be putting this piston with that rod and all that crap because your gonna get a b16 swap one day....just use any 88-91 si bottom end you'll have higher compression than going with the stock 95 civic bottom end...and i can get you a conversion harness if you want to run the 95 ecu...you'll be pulling hard as ish....i use to have this set up once....

Does that mean you want my phone number? Cuase i would like to have some questions answered

it's called a "mini-me" setup.

AAAAAHHHH! Ok I know its called a mini me. I just wanted to know if i should use a different bottom end to get more power. i have the new ecu, i have the timing belt, i have the resistor box, i have the head and intake mani, i have injector clips, i have the rpm switch. so will someone out please tell me if i can get more power by switching my bottom end but staying in the d series

the mini-me setup is going to give you the most power you can get with a D series frankenstein setup... basically a D16A bottom end with a D16Y/Z top end. the newer D16 heads have less chamber volume than D16A heads of yore, resulting in the increase in compression with this setup.

compression levels significantly higher than that will require a higher octane gas, i.e. 97+ octane to run efficiently.

your only other means for more NA power in the bottom end would be stroking or boring.

Wanna know the truth, your wasting your time with that crummy parts bin your trying to build, just drop a whole sohc vtec in it or something better. Oh yeah your gonna have to ditch that auto if you wanna ever see anything lower that a 16 NA .

thank you for the info
