Engine Swap Possible? Price?

My friend is looking into getting a CRX and wants to swap the stock engine with a VTEC. Is this possible and if so how much would it cost and how hard would it be to make it functional?

it would help if u told us wat engine ur friend wants to put in, there is more than one that has vtec

Well he was hoping to put a 6 cyl SOHC Vtec in.

lol just messin with ya, there isn't really any v6's on this forum

a good swap if u want to stay SOHC could be the d16z6 or y8

he never said V6....he said SOHC 6 cyl.....would this not be an inline 6...correct me if im wrong.....and didnt an accord motor come in a 3.0 L Vtec 6 cyl ?

ya ok i shouldn't have said v6, but correct me if im wrong, do very many people put a 6 cylinder engine in a 4g civic/crx?, is there even enough room without serious modification? wouldn't it seem better to just go with a 4 cyl route?

Ya, its hardly possible, but doable.
Assload of work, and good luck getting it to run.

hey, didnt i tell you. i'm running that honda v6 motor with v-tecH power running in my si. im doing 11's in the quarter but i keep braking axles. can you help me? :p :rolleyes:

if your friend really wants a swap with vtec, you have plenty of choices, all of which are better and more feasible than that v6 you have planned..
