i bet you could squeeze a few more ponies out of it on E85 but kill your fuel economy.

ah gotcha. you're pretty young, are you about to make captain? i see where the money comes from, deployments always helped bank good money. where are you stationed?
 
Nice project. H22 in a CRX is straight fun....not too much cornering fun but will blister down the 1/4 mile. You'll get use to the understeer. And now you will have a quick car that doesn't sound like a lawnmower! (aka STI) :thumbsup: It will sound liek a bunch of pissed off Bees instead lmao

I dont plan on going on twisties with the crx, that why i have my sti for. the crx will be a clean dd with enough power.
 
I cannot verify actual tempatures but I do know the H22 is tight in the engine bay of an EF which will make things warmer. Have you considered a B-Series swap? If its a true DD.....I would think about all your options. But if you do run an H22....think about a H22 motor to a B-series transmission
 
putting an H22 in a crx entails pounding out the frame rail so the pulley wont rub. its more work that just throwing a b16/18 in your car and to tell you the truth, you dont need the extra torque in such a small, lightweight car.

well said, my b16a has plenty of power , and is a cool running , reliable DD, i just wish honda sold them with b/series factory in america, the CRX would have been a GOD in the 90s
