Hello im 15yrs old and searching for an '88 to '91 CRX (Si) and was woundering if the Si's have a B series Engine in them, and how much HP is there on that B series Engine,
thanx

The CRX's you are asking about have D16A6 engines including the Si. Their horsepower was around 100-110 for most of those years. I believe some of the JDM CRX's had b16's in them stock.

would it be easy to build up one of those engines, or do an engine swap?
If an engine swap, which engine would be best, for a low budget
thanx

I would suggest a swap because I haven't had any real luck finding any aftermarket parts for a d16 besides Intake Header and Exhaust. The most common swap done now is a B16, and that usually runs between $2000-$3000 for the full swap (That's about 160hp and VTEC). The cheapest swap would be a ZC motor which I think has about 130HP, but I believe is the easiest motor to swap in and costs around $1000-$1500 for the full swap. Bottom line is that B16 would be the best choice because of it's huge aftermarket support, and higher HP.

Ok, the ZC motor does not have V-tec, correct?

no...its a dohc non vtec d series engine with ~130 hp....will bolt up to an si with no problems and no need for a mount kit

with a b16 what things will i have to do to make it fit good, with out any probs.
thanx

Mount kit, matching tranny, new axles etc etc...look at www.hasport.com for info on the stuff required.

What is a good site that has COMPLETE engine swaps?
and tell me a good estimate at how much it is going to cost, with a shop installing the engine
