is it worth rebuilding and douching it out? the d15b2

dacheat

no.

edit: to clarify - the d15b2 is a great setup for what it was intended for: reliable fuel economy.

i get the feeling this is completely backwards from what you're going for.

edit #2: i'm already shedding a few tears for your CRX. this build won't end well, i'm afraid.

(mainly because you said "douching it out" in regards to anything to do with a CRX).

nice gotta keep in touch about ur 89 crx and ill do the same...maybe help each other out on advice

bailey89crx

aright thanx...ill junk it then. i can c by ur rep u know whats good

dacheat

my '89 is sleeping with the angels (or taking a dirt nap, whichever you prefer) thanks to a highway pileup. i'm in a '91 now that i want to keep as beautiful and OEM/purring as possible, and i'm all about driving mine for years, not 'douching it out.'

good luck with whatever you're doing though, and try not to wrap it around a tree.


ps i respect people who do swaps, and their work -- if they do the planning and do the work right. there are lots of these kinds of guys on this forum. i'd read their build threads...

nonono...don't misunderstand my rep - i don't get it for technical knowledge, i get it for saying things straight or for being funny, or for the simple fact that i'm a girl that hangs out on this forum pretty regularly.

you've had some good feedback in this thread from some technical people, already. i'm not one of them, i just love the CRX and hate when they get hacked/destroyed. hopefully you won't be doing that.

the d15b2 is not 'junk', it's just not what you're going for. you should/could try selling it or parting it out. your thread reads like you're cashpoor. you should try to flip as much stuff as you can into cash or parts for your build.

yeah i was swappin the stock one out anyway i was just wonderin is it was worth keepin as a backup. i'm goin for and lsvtec swap to drop in it. im doin this car all legit and right cuz i didnt do my last one like that and i learned hardcore but that was a couple years ago...young and dump ya know, i was cocky and thought i knew what was good.

bailey89crx

nah i got a little cash to work with. building is a passion and hobby for me. i just want this build to last a bit cuz its my first crx and ive been wanting one for a while now. i said im not gettin a honda unless its a crx and now i love hondas. i wish there were girls like u around my town. they r all into ridin in the cars but they want nothin to do with buildin em or learnin

89' Project Civic

Could I suggest a DPFI-MPFI conversion then OBD0-OBD1 conversion, THEN a D16a6/D16z6 combo. It is pretty simple to do from what I hear. I went the hard route and decided on a D16y8 head for my combo (not knowing this was the harder route) and I have to make sure I am doing it right because there is sooo much more work involved in this swap than a D16z6. GL.

bailey89crx

thats a great suggestion my buddy just offered to trade me a d16z6 for my ls rims...i picked em up for $100 and can get another set easily for $100. so i just might do that instead and build it and boost the shit outa it

bailey89crx

btw i just post some picks of my build. the interior is all new i just finished it...ill be postin more as the project proceeds

bailey89crx

what year crx came with rear disk brakes? i wanna convert from drums too disks

89' Project Civic

I don't believe CRX's came with rear disk brakes (I could be wrong), but normally people swap the 90-91 Integra rear brakes for this type of conversion. You will need:
-Si e-brake cables
-Si master brake cylinder (you don't need it, but from what I hear it makes a hell of a difference).
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

89' Project Civic

Could I suggest sticking to one project. I'm really not trying to be rude, but when I was younger I was always all over the map and nothing got done right. As well, it is hard to keep track of where you are in your current project if your off doing another. It's just a suggestion.

bailey89crx

yeah i know i get to excited and start jumpin around. its a bad habit, mostly it's just so i can get the parts on hand

89' Project Civic

Yeah, I understand. Buying parts is a good thing too. When I used to jump around, I ended up with 17"wheels, engine swap, skunk2 coils, 6pc Wings West bodykit, tinted windows...etc etc. So, it's not always a bad thing to do!. I have been working on my cylinder head for 3months now as money rolls in and I've been dying to do the bodywork on my Civic, but I haven't touched it until the engine is done because you NEVER know what is going to change.

bailey89crx

damn straight, shit could happen, at one point i had 2 project subies goin, a camaro that needed an entire frame, and a grand prix that i was buildin. talk about busy and stupid

bailey89crx

anyone got a suggestion for a tranny for and ls vtec
