Modding a 1990 Crx HF
-
a d16z6 with turbo would probably be the cheapest way to do it, but how cool would a crx with a k20 in it be? i have heard of people in the 11s just with the swap and slics. also its gonna be a stock engine with low miles for the most part so reliability is gonna be there imo more so then a turboed d16. its gonna cost an arm and a leg though.
you could also do a b16. that should put you close to your goal with a 160 hp just with the engine. they are actually reasonably priced also. the d16 is gonna be your cheapest option, but everyone and their mom has been wanting to do d16 turbo and b16 swaps lately. i was just suggesting something that would be different. there are only a handful of people that have done the k20 in the crx.

the reason why i shunned away from doing the k-series swaps, is that they are soo damn expensive... think about $750 motor mounts + $4,000-6,000 motor,tranny,ecu + the installation which is ??? <-- the install would be difficult because the motor would have to come up from the bottom, i believe... unless you have a lift i believe that its almost near impossible to do on your own... but i did look into it... I am looking at cheap fun right now... If i wanted to go balls out i would have considered it a done deal...

I own a 1988 Crx Si so if you have any questions I might be able to help.
How much horse power are you looking to hit? How much are you willing to spend?
If you only want 160 hp I would just swap it, but if you don't want to fuck with shift linkage, axels, mounts then pick up a d16z6 and turbo it.
BTW 97Cav's friends Crx is very very beat up, but pretty fast. If you want a nice clean crx that car would be a nightmare.
