y8 in a rex

[inspector01]

If you just need a new motor, you can swap out the long block and keep your IM, ecu, dizzy (you would need to swap housings), alternator, and all. Then it will run and drive without vtec and all. To have vtec then, you would need to swap everything like Wannabe said. Ordering a full conversion harness would be the easiest cuz otherwise it is a lot of wiring to figure out.

If you're gonna spend the money get a full OBD 0 B18 swap, mounts, and linkage...cost bout a grand...lot more power than messing with the D series...Trust me I had one in my CRX and it ripped very good.

[gsrEK]

pretty sure i never saw u do any rippers in ur ls swapped crx???? just buy a obd0 b16 and b done but as u can tell brandon knows everything

D > bubba

have some respect

[bubba]

I have respect for yours...but unless u boost the D, the majority of them are turds...

lol, I bet kevins z6 hatch wouldve raped your L crx. dude theres like a 10 hp difference. all old LS's are beat anyways. his y8 would rip just as good as a tired LS swap, and a lot less time/money

no parker, a V8 swap is not always the answer.

All motor hondas in general arent usually fast, but at least u can get 300hp outa b and k series with all motor...havent seen any d's that came close to that....granted i'd never do that cuz it's a waste of money, personally boosted b's are the way to go

[CRX_Civic]

The crx is my winter beater....the y8 would be left over from my civic if i got something else , idk, ive never rode/drove in any civic other than a na d-series, so im pretty clueless. thanks for the replys.

[bubba]

Well if it's just a winter beater I would recomend not going for a lot of power, lol. I drove my crx with a ls swap last winter, and was worthless even with snow tires. Should work if u convert the dizzy and stuff to obd1 and the car to MPFI and then use an OBD0-OBD1 jumper harness, but get one that has the wires for vtec and 4 wire O2 sensor on it....You can use your stock crx trans, or put an si one in if u want a little shorter gearing.

[Joel]

do an MPFI swap, leave your stock motor, get an SI intake manifold, fuel rail and fuel injectors. even with the d15b2 its like a 25 hp gain...

[GhettoFabulousCRX]

weird.. my DPFI hatch was faster than my MPFI hatch that I have now. 25 hp gain? I read a dyno chart they claimed like a 12-17 hp gain wich realy isn't worth it. I'd leave your mpfi and swap the block and head if your dizzy fits on it. Your stock dizzy will fit on all 88-91 heads, I know for sure it fits on 96-00 heads and 92-95 heads that are not vtec-e
