Local shop had the AC and someopne beat me to it. the other shop thatw as going to install the engine said not to use vtec b/c there a hassle plus hard for the ECu for him to find. What other engine do you guys recommend? My current engine has a mind of its own most likely electrical among oil leak problems

goin gto look for it but how much for the engine and shipping?

 

not bad prices but why can't a vtec go in our crx? the engine installer said was a hassle. I forgot why

 

Which vtec motor is he talking about? If you stick with an obd-0 b16a, it's not that much of a hassle.

 

no hassle at all.

 

I would recomend that you find a Honda proficient technician. This one doesn't really seem to want to do the job based on what I've read. Putting a more powerful VTEC engine in your little CRX will make for an awesome power to weight ratio, but of course if you just want to get it running right, a similar engine might be better.

 

The only problem and it isnt even really that much of a problem is if your CRX is a DX model. If you want to put say a B16a in a DX then your going to have to get a new wiring harness due to the DX having DPFI where the SI has MPFI. But other than that you shouldnt have a problem if your motor comes with Engine Tranny and ECU. Now if you have a HF model then the only thing you have to worry about is upgrading the suspension and brakes to handle your new power but id recommend doing that anyway if your doing a motor swap.

 

also go to www.jhpusa.com for more engines...they have a JDM B16A 88-91 SIR1 V1 Engine Swap that would fit your CRX for $1399.00 plus if you want an LSD tranny you can upgrade for $250.
