Thinking about making a project crx... just planning out right now.
Heres what I'm think'n

-Buy cheap crx
-drop new engine in, think'n b16 but which one (will be my first time doing a swap and it will be turbo'd) I think the sir2 would be more complicated.
-Then build engine, new rods, lower compression piston, valves,retainers, springs,maybe crankshaft?

piece together turbo kit,
t3/4 or t3
drag or revhard mani and d.p
intercooler
all the pipes, oil lines from summit.
turbo timer... boost controller
hondata tunning

after that I'm sure I'll need new clutch and light flywheel
then on to suspension and stuff.

What engine/tranny do you recommend?
any tips/ sugestions and reccomedations would greatly be apreaciated from experienced members

And yes I've searched(been searching and researching for more than a year) I'm also a pretty good weilder.(if only I could spell as good I weild )

 

you must be rich!
A B18C1 would be a little more power and displacement.
Or you could build a CRVTEC since your going to do the rods and pistons anyways and get 2.0 liters.
Do stuff a little at a time, I doubt you are planning to do it all at once anyways.
CRX's can be plenty quick N/A, unless you like drag racing there's no reason for turbo.

 

Shoot for the stars...I hope everything goes as planned for you because with me NOTHING ever works out the way I plan on it working...but you soud ike you go some dreams. If you plan on doing internals and putting that much work into it I would suggest getting a better engine such as a Type R or building a LS-VTEC using a CRV bottom block... It will cost more but it is worth the extra money in the long run. I would also suggest you holding back on the internals there is a lot more you can do then just that. I believe the best way to "build" the perfect motor is to think of every aspect and work on them 1 at a time... such as your suspension, fuel delivery, air delivery, electronics, etc... I mean there is tons of stuff you can do. Anyway hat is just my 2 cents... Good Luck!!

 

I plan on doing the exact same thing when I get home from the war. I'll have plenty of cash to play with. I might save it till I'm out of the Corps for good though, because I want to get a cleaner rex when I get back to Albany. If you have the money, I'd go with a Type-R (B18C5). That's 200 hp right off the bat. With all the aspects you're planning on customizing, you'll jump 300 hp easy. Remember, there's no rush when working on a swap or anything else for that matter. You're going to get frustrated at times, it's a given. But if you put time into it the results are pretty rewarding. Good luck man.
