For a while now I've been planning on doing a CRX swap with possibly an ITR engine. I was just looking at a few sites and I've found a few cheaper but faster engines. I am planning on boosting it eventually.

The engines I've been looking at:
Acura Integra Type R: B18c ITR: 200hp@8000
135 lb-ft @ 7500
~$4000
Honda Accord SIR: F20b: 200hp @ 6800
145 lbs @5500
~$2750
Honda S2000: F20c: 250hp @ 8300
218 lbs @7500
~$3800
Prelude VTEC: H22A: 200hp @ 6800
161 lbs @5500
~$1900
Prelude VTEC: H22A Type-s: 220hp @ 7200
163 lbs @ 6500
~$3950

My budget will be about 6-7000. I'm looking at getting a CRX for under 1k, then the rest will go towards the engine and stuff for the swap.

What engine would be the best and will it fit? I don't really want to go over 4k on the engine alone. As long as that is at 4k or under its good.

 

Get the S2K swap. It pretty much bolts right in.

 

Thats what I had switched my choice to. It has more torque, more HP and cheaper.

I had been thinking of the ITR but I decided to start looking around at prices.

 

F20c for the win!!!
H22a for second place h:

 

Honda S2000: F20c: 250hp @ 8300
218 lbs @7500

what F20c gives 250hp and 218lbs of torque at any rpm? short of FI, even then that is pushing it.

 

It comes with the motor, tranny, engine wiring hrness, ECU, all required cables, all brackets and sensors, distributor, alternator, complete intake manifold, power steering pump.

Then I really just need to get a new axel(s) and thats it of the big stuff, correct? I've been trying to find out what all I need but I'm having trouble finding sites that say. I haven't had time to go anywhere to talk to anyone yet. If you've done a swap or know what else I would need, chime in please. My dad has done a few swaps but that was a long time ago with muscle cars.

 

What? Its not saying at any rpm.

This is what I got from the site I'm looking at buying from.

 

yeah no kidding. and i'm saying what F20c gives that much torque at all. I'd say that's a big fat typo.

 

for example here is a dyno plot of a stock vs SCed S2k
noticed how even the SCed torque number is not even 200ft/lbs.

 

if you do the math it would be making over 300 horse at that 7500 rpm.. most definatly a typo
