What should I go with???
-
Well i think i have narrowed it down to two engines for my 89 CRX.
-B20B or B16A.
The car is going to be a daily driver but i would also like to be able to Auto X it and Drag it every now and again.. On the track i would like to run mid 13's to low 14's. The two engines are on the link below. Let me know what you think!!http://www.hmotorsonline.com/shop/sc2000search.cgi?what=category&keyword=JDM%20USDM%20Engines&hit=20

Id go with the B20, get ya nice torque out of that, plus easy to mod with a bigger motor....if money wasn't an issue, you all know what id say....go K series
Ry
edit: ya, Id say go with the B20 and get higher compression pistons. You'll see a huge gain in power/torque out of that motor compared to the B16. Plus it is essentially cheaper at first.

my homies plan was just to do a B20 and up the compression, then it turned into a full scale build, because once you dig into the bottom end, you miight as well rebuild the block...then the head...then everything else...Anyways, B16s are fun out of the box. Good transmission, decent power, loud ass VTEC. B20s are cheap, yeah. But you need to buy a different tranny, different intake manifold, and some other shit just to make it swapable...The price will probobly equal out...
I'd go with the B16. It will be more fun, less work, and more daily drivable...

my .o2 buy a z6 or y8 and put head studs in and boost it too 10 psi or build it for around 1000.00 pistons/rods/bearings.... and run 20 psi+
I made 250 whp on 10 psi and ran 12.2@113 tufte made 261whp and ran 11.9@113 there is no all motor B20's b18's b16's that can compete with the D16 boosted it would probly cost your about the same to do a swap or boost a D16..
My D16 now makes 400 whp depending which dyno your on some read low and some high.. and runs 11.5 @125
Looks like my d-16 hatch is the quickest and fastest honda around.!!!!

If you are on a serious budget, you'll have to settle for a swap and nothing else.

I believe he told me that he wasn't looking for boost. He's just looking for a good daily motor that can pull a low 14. A strong stock b16 will get that done for him. And judging by his budget, he doesnt have the $ to buy a d-series swap ($300-400 for a motor and $50-100ish for a Si tranny), buy the engine management (safc would be sufficient, which is cheap $100 for a used safc1), plus the turbo kit too...OBD0 b16 swap can be held for $1500...you just have to look. It's also a bit cheaper bc it's a cable tranny. He can also just then buy a stock JDM obd0 vtec ECU after swapping in the motor and be done...sure, is a boosted d-series faster? hell yea...but he didn't ask for anything that's crazy fast...just something quick that's fairly easy...
B16 FTW!
and if nothing else, just say you bought the b16 bc it has CRAZY mad loud JDM VTACK y0:icon_cheers: :icon_thumright:

Well my budget is depending on it i can sell my current car and then i will have a little more to spend.... I would like to run something faster. But i want to spend less then $1500. I have been talking to some people about the D series motor boosted and it sounds kind of kool..

Thanks! I try to learn things and stuff like that before i step into something i dont know nething about. I dont think there is a better local forum then this to ask questions and recieve feedback..... -
I've said this like 50 times before when people ask for opinions on Honda swaps, and here is mine: complete LS motor/trans swap should run you less than $1000, or buy a whole wrecked integra to take everything out of and then part out the rest of the car, and then get some small slicks, and a small shot of nitrous like a 50 or maybe 75 shot, and you'll run low 13s for very little money. If you can find a good deal on a wrecked integra that you can part out, you will basically get all the parts you want for free, I've done it, twice.
