How fast is CRX w/ JDM b16a1?

Hi all, my first post here! Forgive me if someone has already asked this question(s).

My first Q is this: I'll get a 1989 CRX Si, and I'm gonna swap a JDM B16a1 into it. About how fast do you think it would be?

Also, I plan on eventually hooking that motor up with a Revhard Stage 1 turbo kit. I did the math. And the figures come out like this:

Horsepower: 233 (7psi) @ 7800 rpm (rpm guess should be accurate)
Torque: 331 (7psi) @ 7300 rpm (rpm guess should be accurate)

What kind quarter mile times could I get with this? I think it would be in the 11 sec range right? The CRX is a pretty light car...

thanks for any help!

I'm assuming that you mean the JDM B16A which has 160hp (unless you get one off an automatic trans Integra XSi/RSi). The B16A1 is an EDM motor..technically. it came in the VTiR EE8 and EE9... i think Bracer has one. they are rated at like 150hp...pretty similar to the JDM auto B16 i mentioned before (it has about 150-155 due to the cams and ecu). As far as quarter mile times with the basic bolts (i/h/e)...you should expect high 14's....or low low 15's. check my sig.....i did it in 14.919 on a shitty oil burning b16 w/ half bald street tires. not sure about 11's on the turbo setup tho :cool:

don't count on 11's. an integra with avortech supercharger only ran 14's because it didn't hit it's pwerband till it was in the upper rpm. It's in one of the resent honda tunings. you'll probbally be running like low 13's

dude a crvtec will run 13's stock in a crx. so why would you go through all that money and time when crvtec will do the trick. then you can work with that.

Don't do Crvtec unless done right or you'll have a unrealible beast on your hands especially if you also go turbo. But if you want to go turbo just use b18a or b it has more torque then b16a and plus youll have turbo so the hp is not an issue anymore....you'll hit 11's with slicks if you build the b18 though and drop some weight on you rex.

Isnt the b16a1 off the Civic and crx Si-R? also b20 vtec is not good at all due to rod ratio. if u want to wrap out at like 5500 go ahead and do crvtec if u want to do a hybrid v-tec either go mini-me (sohc) or go ls-vtec and have somebody do it for you. There are ways to get around the crvtec rod ratio but it invloves in building the whole bottom end and is cost as well as time comsuming. Now for your question as how will your car run with a b16 in a crx it should run mid to high 15's depending on driver and location. If you turbo it maybe maybe be in mid 13's only due to traction loss and turbo size. Hope i answered your question. and if im wrong on something fill free to correct me

This thread is filled with misinformation. I dont want to even bother explaining each of of these "tuning Pros" mistakes but trust me this thread is not to be a taken as useful info

You will have no where near that amount of torque. Maybe more like 180wtrq. With that amount of power in a CRX you should easily be in the low 13's to high 12's w/ good traction

You're wrong on everything in the first three quarters of your post. Why do you say shit about the B20's horrible "rod ratio" (you don't even know what they're talking about when they say rod/stroke ratio, you're just trying to regurgitate crap that you heard) when you know nothing about them? Did you know that B20's and LS motors use the exact same crank, and exact same rods, giving them the exact same rod-to-stroke ratio? Did you know that the difference in rod/stroke ratio is .04:1? LS: 1.54:1 GSR: 1.58:1. Stock ITR's designed for long term reliability rev to 8400 rpm's without fault, so why do you think that this miniscule difference is going to cause such intense side loading (you know that's the problem with a lower rod/stroke ratio, right? Didn't think so :rolleyes:) and yet the difference in the rod/stroke ratios is magically going to cause your LS/vtec to self destruct after 2000 miles :rolleyes:. People are spinning LS/VTEC's to 9000+ RPM's without fault, I don't know why the hell everyone jumps on the god damn R/S bandwagon when they have no idea what they're talking about.

yeah it boils to the fact that either way a b series motor with stock internals with a stage 1 kit is not going to get you into the 11's on street rubber and a otherwise factory tune.....and XIXGENUINE why would you say that nes only gonna have 180wtq when hes running a b-series stage 1 turbo ?? cause that definatly not the case...and yes i do think he would be betetr off maybe going LS/VTEC or CRVTEC but the question was for a b16a1 !
Either way a stock b-series on a stage 1 ( even a rev-hard being as good as they are ) isnt gonna drop you in the 11's...if that is your goal you need internals and much higher bust and aggressive tune..and as far as the power...you and us all know the numbers that motor produces..but if you really wanna get an idea of how it drives thats ahrd to describe..your best bet is just go drive or test-drive a vehicle that has a b16..even a 99+ civic Si or a del sol VTEC model even the they are dif. generations..the pull will be about the same as far as to give you an idea..nothing beats 1st hand...as far as the rest of the R/S stuff boosted is correct to the best of my knowledge..but im not quoting anything
