Okay, so as most of you know I have an 88' CRX witha bone stock B16A. Well, I just had the CRX repainted and it's looking good and running well when disaster strikes. I'm not sure what happened yet but I'm cruising along and it just dies. I had it towed to my uncle shop because it's closer and there is a nice pinhole in the side of the block. The motor is FUBAR. So, here's my thoughts. Due to all the D series turbo's lately I have been seriously considering selling my 88' lude and buying a cheap 5th gen hatch and slapping my old D16Z6 in it for turbo duties after a rebuild. But now my wife is really riding me about the house looking like a used car lot so I think I'm going to sell the lude (planned on it anyway) slap the B16A into the CRX with the turbo (I will need to make some serious changes due to fitment problems) and have my D16Z6 5rebuilt and put back into my 93' EX. What do you think? Selling the CRX or the Civic is out of the question due to personal attachment.

I was there sunday night. It was crazy. My boss has a suite at the La mansion on the river tonight to watch the parade. I think I have a plan, let's see how it works out. there will be some wiring issues with the B16A from my EX and I will need new guages and stuff for the CRX so I hope the cost does'nt kill me. Time is not really an issue but I would like to get it done soon. I just need a turbo manifold that will fit into the CRX with the B16A. I will need a custom fabricator to do it and I have a guy in mind so we'll see. Hey 18secferio what type of work do you do? I am always hiring.
