Brad's CRX Build

[Battle Pope]

I've never understood that, what's the big draw to having to wind the motor out to make power?

Forgive him. He's still a young'n.

It's fun, you could keep it one gear for say auto x, and what happens if I got cams? I couldn't use the powerband.

But I guess I would have to see where the motor stopped making power.

 

[double0Si]

Buy a supercharger. Thats the best for Auto-X. Youre always in your power band, and down low is where the torque is.

proper gearing will aid with staying in the powerband as well
slap a b16 trans on there and have a ball
b20vtec with a b16 trans would be a fun little CRX
b20vtec supercharged would be one hell of a ride

my vote in this situation is to go with a gsr though, as you would be too tempted to open up the bottom end with an ls-vtec or b20vtec build. dont open up the bottom end on your first build, just keep it stock and reliable as possible

also, revving high should not be a priority
the higher you spin an engine, the bigger mess its going to make if it comes apart
seriously, GSR swap w/b16 trans and call it a day.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Well now I'm kicking myself for not picking up that GSR with a ITR trans for a grand.

 

[Matts96HB]

wow. that would have been an epic swap for autocross.
ill keep my eyes peeled, i have a couple buddies with swaps that they might want to get rid of on the cheap

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Cool, thanks.

Just some pictures now.

yo i need your help!!!!
general maintenance..y8 manifold thread..lol
didnt wanna clutter yours up..

 

[zach_teg_king]

hey bro..ive been followin ur thread, just read all 39 pages of it and lovin the rex with the mini me...oddly enough you have almost the same setup as me lol

i think u should consider using a z6 intake manifold, it will solve all your intake problems and fix ur broken manifold at the same time, even though i know the y8 manifold has better flow...also, the way you painted your valve cover is the shit! same way as mine

im suscribing to the thread..cant wait to see where you go with the rex and the gsr ideas...
