what do u think about this honda

i kno this boy who has a 1990 crx si hatchback. its a complete frankenstein, he has b16 heads and a b18 block, high compression pistons, dc headers and full exhaust (no cats), cai, and maybe some other small things. but hes runnin all motor, and its a gutted crx so it weights barely over 2000 lbs. also he has a different tranny, i forgot what he said it was exactly, but 1st gear ended at 25 mph.

does anyone else kno a light ass honda with a nice engine swap in it?

Not personally, herd about alot of them though.

there are a lot of Rex's around here with B16 swaps, seems to be the thing to do...and I must admit, they sound really mean when that VTEC kicks in.

My first gear ends at 25 mph. 2nd goes up to about 50, 3rd till I think 85, 4th till 110 and 5th until 135-140 (never took it up that high, just guessing from rpm calculations)

i know of a few. my friend has a 1990 civic coupe with a usdm obd-1 GSR engine in it, my other friend has a red 92 hatch with a b16b(civic type-r motor), another friend of mine has a 1991(i think, not 100% sure on the year but it has stock all wheel disc breaks) crx with a b16a out of an xsi integra(jdm), my other friend has a gunmetal civic coupe with obd-2 GSR b18 in it. and they're all about a 1/2 sec. faster than me in the 1/4 :( except the gunmetal coupe, he can't drive for shit and is stock other than the engine swap and a muffler. the rest all have ecu upgrades done, mostly chipped pr3's, skunk 2 headers, cat-backs, STS, intakes and such. and then there's this random kid in an older red hatch with gunmetal wheels who no one knows, but everyone who's raced him has gotten smoked, even the kid with the type-r motor. my friends estimate him to be running in the mid-low 13's.

A 92-95 Civic hatchback, full interior, with a b18c5 or h22a will run you well into the 13's.

I don't know about the b18c5 tranny, but my h22 tranny runs me 40 in first, 60 in second, 90 in 3rd, and i've gone 120 in 4th with still a bit to go, so i dunno where that one ends.

just over 2000lbs?
CRX dry weight is 1750... curb weight is just over 1800.... so your buddy must be really fat....

as for light assed cars with motor...
my friend had a B18a with CAI and jerry rigged cat back exaust....no passenger seat.... 2050 with him driving less than 2000 with me driving. he was putting down maybe 130 to the wheels... and it was decntly quick....

that is what i am actually looking to do is take a smaller import coupe....rip out the interior and do some bolt ons just to have fun with at the track....

ive been looking at an 88 2door integra for $650 160,000 miles.... runs strong...somthing for me to F*** up that wont put a dent in my pocket. i figure straight pipes out of the manifold (maybe a glass pack to smooth the sound out, like a nice long fart tru ric3) and dump right behind the doors. no interior, CAI, throttle body, no hub caps (paint the rims black, tight) then move the battery to the trunk and anything else i can to help balence it out (i know its FWD but i am looking for a play around track car, not a drag car)....
it would be fun untill i blew the motor....then i could sell it for like 200....lol....but that is down the road a ways...

I would say this goes in the CRX forums.

As for comparisons about gearing. Mine goes to 35 in 1st, 60 in 2nd, and 90 in 3rd, 4th can take me up to 120ish, and I've put it in 5th put I didn't gas much further than 125 because of fear of blowing something up. L8...

I know a guy with a totally gutted 96 hatch. Stock motor with some bolt ons. I'd say he's pretty quick.

I've been beaten by three of these Assholes so yeah I know them. Each race I get closer so I suspect my next race with one I will win :icon16:

know of a quick little honda me no wtf is a b16?

um...ace...what?

um...ace...what?
i'm making a wee joke :naughty:

well my gearing goes 1st - 43, 2nd - 72, 3rd - 102, 4th - don't know yet will update when snow melts :)

But on my B18 that I had it was 1st 30, 2nd 60, 3rd 90, 4th 120, 5th didnt get past 135 but little room left.

kid at my school with a rex just like that...totally gutted interior, pretty much the same engine that you described( i think) and a civic si tranny, its pretty quick

know of a quick little honda me no wtf is a b16?
the B16a is the 1.6 liter VTEC engine used in the '99-'00 civic si...rated at about 160 hp...put one of them in a dinky little crx, and they get going pretty quick.

yea this boy weighs about 140 lbs no lie lol. but the best race he ever had was against a turbo gsr with a few other mods. he was pushin about 7 pounds and 205 whp. he raced the crx from 40-90 and he won by like a few cars but he also had a few people in the car with him.

I believe Snyper, as well as myself, know what the B16 is. Seeing that we are both Honda owners and all :biggrin:. L8...

I said I was teasing I happen know just how quick you speak of :evillol:

well I have a hatch.

My buddy had a b20 block and a b16 head, some internal work, full interior, 5th gen hatch, ran 11's all motor, and daily driven. When VTEC hit, the tires would spin. Craziest car I've ever seen.

Lol my bad, I just NOW caught onto that after reading the entire thread over again...

hehe all good man

a full interior B20 vtec with 'some' internal work running 11s? On slicks right? And you forgot to mention the turbo? or the huge shot of nitrous? If that's true I'm so modding the wrong car...

Yes on slicks, and I'm serious it was all-motor, no turbo and no nitrous. I don't know exactly what was done to the internals, but this guy is a genious with hondas.

hehe all good man
So you have a B16 Rex I presume?
Edit: nevermind, you have a B16 hatch...what year body style? How much does it weigh?

well it's about to be re b16ed *looooong story but should be back with a B in under 2 weeks*
1991 std shes around 1850.

whoa, so then they weigh about the same as a Rex...pretty quick little car then, eh?

she isn't bad but going keep getting faster maybe one day won't be to bad.

Taking to the track this summer so i'll know just how fast she REALLY is

i have a quick question. i was readin something on this mopar site and it says u can keep ur boost up and shift even faster by keepin the gas all the way down and blip the clutch and shift it as fast as u can? does anyone else race like this? i would imagine extreme wear and tear on the engine and tranny and u would probably need new motor mounts?

....it's called powershifting.

im sure that will fuck something up pretty quick. when u shift ur engine and ur tranny are even goin at the same speed

Powershifting is a fun way to expire a perfectly good tranny just to gain an extra 10th. Oh well.

my buddy is selling his CRX shell and suggested that if i bought it he'd help me drop in and turbo a B18 LS engine, i don't know how much hp i could pull, but i'm sure i could run 14's if not 13's in that setup

LS VTEC or just a regular LS?

uhhh. if it's done right you should be deep in 13s.

easy 200WHP and more with good tuning and yes into 13s if you can get that FF launch done well

ls no vtec, i heard bad things about the frankenstein setup and doing that w/ a turbo is tricky to tune

Yes, that is why I brought it up...

its all in the build honestly made right will last long time take a whooping.

I still am not a fan due to the LSs blocks shortcomings *no oil squirters thinner webbing*

I have a 00 Civic EX D16y8 motor: 1st-38 2nd-60 3rd-93 4th-120 5th-127(governed)

yea i talked to my friend and his tranny was an S1. but anyway about the b18 my other friend got a greddy turbo and boosted 7psi and got him to about 205 at the ground. althought he had other things done also.

has anyone seen the K20a2 (i think) civic that was featured in hot version (hasnt been released yet in america). it has ITBs and was built in chicago.

A production civic with a K20? Yeah..it's called a civic SI.

wow dampachi, i wouldnt be jumping down peoples throats so quickly. i would not post about it if it was a stock car, and i believe the current civic si has the k20a3 engine.

give me a bit i will find a link.

thats the thread about it

EG hatch with a k20a3 engine.

whoa dude..I didn't mean for you to get offended. I wasn't trying to jump down your throat. That's why I just said "K20" and not "K20A2". It was mostly intended as a joke.

my fault then.

Nah..I guess I did sound like an ass. Everyone always takes what I say the wrong way. I need to start adding a disclaimer to my signature or start wording things differently. Damn.

isn't a version of the K20 in the RSX-S too?

Yes.

What about the older S2000s?

What about it? The motor has always been the F20C. It's RWD. The RSX/SI is FWD.

ah huh...never heard of the F20...oh well.

new s2000 engine is f22

rsx/ civic si = k20a3
rsx s = k20a2.

afaik, correct me if im wrong.

Oops, forgot they upped the new S2000 to 2.2l.

I'll try to take down everything in one shot here

Older S2000's = F20C
Newer S2000's = F22C

Civic Si/RSX Base = K20A3
Old RSX-S = K20A2 (and for some odd reason, sometimes referred to as K20C)
New RSX-S = K20Z1
JDM RSX/Integra (R) = K20A
