@injen I'm too tired to look for it through the forums, I had to pull 13 hours today so I'm not big on spending time on digging for it right now...lol so shoot me
i would say go with a brodix block big inches like 842 bullet proof bottom end get with eagle on that and some hogged out heads id run 50 lbs of boost that should put you around high 3's low 4's in the 1/8 mile. good luck man you can do it
just the engine, no turbo. I wanted to sell the crx I was doing this in but after sitting and really thinking about it and about how rare crx's are becoming I think I'll just buy a beater and put this in the garage and work on it, the ricer paint job is going to have to go. So heres what I'm going to have to do.....I'll have to swap the automatic with a 5 speed which I'm estimating to be about $600, I have to get a new radiator because mine just bit the dust ($140), hasport mounts ($150-$200) OBD0 conversion kit ($???) new cambers and suspension ($600-$800) I'm getting off track...anyway as you can see i have a LONG way to go. I'm not going to worry about turbo right now, I figure I could make a few bucks off of it.$1,500 total for the cost of the swap and everything? Or $1,500 for the turbo setup?
well he did say whats the best motor to boost well there you goYeah...pretty sure he's looking for a Honda engine...
well I just picked this up View topic - FS turbonetics bb t3/4 "s" trim need cash today... and I'm looking to drop it in the crx with maybe a b16.I want something around 300-400 hp something I could play with on the street and take to the drags and do 13-14 seconds. I'll have to switch it from auto to manual, I've hated that my car was auto since I've got it.

And will suck on street tires.
ahhh ok, so does anyone have a vtec head for sale? I have found a b16 block with eagle rods for $325 and was reall wanting to go with that but I'd like a second opinion....Ah, ok. Well for $1,500 you could do a B16 or an LS. I'd probably go the LS route personally, because you can always add a VTEC head later.
300-400whp to "play" with on the street and run 13-14's on the 1320? My friend, 300whp in a crx on slicks WILL go 11's with good tire and driver.
Hahaha, that's what I consider sucking on street tires. A cheerleader, doing her make-up, and not even racing you will still beat you to the next stop light in her stock VW Rabbit.
