Going DOHC Vtec !!

after many months of saving and what not, im finally dropping the Ol B16 into my sweet ass(as of now, not running) crx:)


i will try and get pics after i am done with it. I know many peeps will hate this, i had to go auto-box cuz my moms said she would need to drive it sometimes, and that if i didnt, she wouldnt throw in some cash for me. oh well.


Anyone know what kinda 0-60 and 1/4 times i can expect?

Cool.:) Let us know how the swap goes. Post pictures if you can...hehehe:) You will probably do the 1/4 mile somewhere in the 15's since it is auto, but it you will definitely feel the increase in power. Good Luck with the swap.

Never heard of an automatic B16 powered CRX. But atleast your getting a b16 man. Keep us informed. :cool:

Yeh i'd say you'd be hittin 15's. Thats gonna be unique to see a b16 auto crx!

"Mom, the left foot is the clutch, the right is the gas....
When one foot goes down, the other comes up...
this handle thing is a shifter...it has a grid to help you with the gears...
when the speedo goes up, you shift to a higher gear....
No Mom, the "R" is for reverse, not Type 'R'...
The concept of shifting gears is a basic one most people learned when they learned how to ride a bike...before the age of 10."

;)Good on ya for going with a b16 with a slush box tho. better than a 1.5 with a slush box :(

make sure that you get an automatic PR3 or PW0 ECU. It won't shift otherwise. It's real easy to tell if you got an auto or manual ecu. Just unscrew the metal ecu covers, and on the upper circuit board (it's a level up and is smaller), there will be a white stamp on the green circuit board somewhere. MT=manual transmission, AT=automatic transmission. good luck w/ the auto b16:)

i like autos because they make good drag cars, you will win any bracket you enter because youll be the most consistant, i mean who coudlnt use the extra $500 you would get for winning brackets

you should see if they make a heavy-er duty clutch pac for ur automatic.And possibly a shift kit

its a torque converter. automatics dont have clutches.

no not that i know whats in a automatic ...im talkin about the bands inside there called clutchpacks

clutch pac is what allows the automatic tranny to grab it is inside the tranny not in the torque converter.

And yes a new clutch pac would help if ya could find a upgrade set

Excellent point civickiller ;)
My neighbor across the street has a '93-ish (old style) auto IROC-Z (with some mods), and he goes to the track and I hear about him winning money all the time. My GF works with his Dad...and almost every Sat AM he has a bracket time of about 13.60 shoe polished on his car...not bad for an older IROC :cool:

i saw this ad in a magazine about performance torque converters you should check it out, idk if they make for hondas though

www.converter.com

thanks for all your help and ideas with the slush box B16, im goin to order a new TQ Conv as soon as i can, possibly from JMO, or whoever makes em.

As far as other parts go, can i swap B16A2/3 parts with my A1?

civickiller: I understand about the autos on those torquey cars but they suck on imports. No torque. Stick is the way to go. Especially on an engine thats high revving. Supras is known to be better on auto then stick.
