yeah im a newbie, and im a newbie to the whole import thing too..i have always been into mustangs and old muscle cars....but now i would like to get a import prefrebly a CRX vtech dohc ,one of the 160hp cars, for at or under three grand, but this may be hard to come by. i don't want anything less than an Si model, if i can't get a Vtech. miles prefrebly under 200,000. and has to be a stick sift(do they come in anything other than a stick?)bone stock doesn't matter and decent interior...the paint i can redo my self..so if anybody thinks this is impossible or actually has a car for me let me know.thanx..oh and im in oklahoma if it makes a any difference..

 

you can find tons of vtech's at wal-mart for like $10.... si crx's will be a tad bit harder oh and welcome to HAN :cheers:

 

ha alright thanks....i have read that there is a vtech dohc that makes bout 160 hp...is there a such thing or what? is the Si model the better model again from what i have read those are only good for 108ish hp bonestock..

 

si is pretty much the best model of crx out there. the only dohc vtec motors with those numbers you posted are the b16 engines (found in japanese si-r's), the zc fits in the crx but doesnt make as much horsepower, probably around 130, then there's the ls motor (b18b) which makes about the same as the zc maybe a little more, gsr (b18c1) which puts out about 170-180 and the type r motor (b18c5) which makes 190-200 horsepower. there's plenty of options out there, if you want to look at all the motors for hondas visit this site http://hmotorsonline.com

 

hey thanks alot, how hard do u think it would be to throw a b16A SiR in a 89-89 shell?it would be a complete if i did buy one..or would i be better off just tryingf to find a bone stock 89ish Si?

 

By the sounds of it, your better off just not gettting one.

 

and why would that be?

thats mine

 

cuz u need to do ur homework b4 throwing away 3g's.....
and its Vtec not vtech

 

My suggestion- get a nice CRX Si that looks good and runs good with the stock D16A6 in it. Drive that until you learn more about Hondas. Youve got a lot of researching to do before thinking about a swap, so just find yourself a nice CRX to start.
