Mods On Crx

Sup, I am new to this site and i wanted to konw what people think i should do to my car. I have a 1988 CRX HF, its not all stock, the tranny is an aftermarket one and it actually makes the car faster, so i am guessing it runs a mid 17's. I wanted to know what yall think i should do to it. I am getting a custom 2 1/4 inch pipe ran for my exhaust. Please tell me what you think i should do my ride. Thanx.

well I/H/E and why your at it just drop in the d16a6 si motor cause it would be a snap to drop in. by the way welcome to the group. :)

engine swap drop a b16 in there

The HF motor really doesn't have much potential unless you got some serious money. I'm gonna have to agree with everyone else. You need an engine swap, of course which engine to get is another issue.

Actually the car has LOTS of potential....i can run it hard, and it hasnt ever fucked up on me...it has alot more than you wold think

No it really has no potential. Just because it's reliable doesn't mean its fast. It has 60hp so yeah not too much stress is going to be on that engine. Swap in a ZC, it's a direct drop in.

Yea, i'd suggest to you would put ANY other d series motor and it will be better than the HF motor, because your HF motor is actually at the bottom of the list of ALL D series motors...... i think you should either drop a ZC in there or a d16y8.... both d series motors and good potential, and litterally 2x the power you are putting out NOW!

I plan on getting an engine swap sooner or later...but i am on a budget, i'd like to know what everyone else's car runs in the 1/4 mile. Just wondering

Does anyone know if the intake manifold on a HF is the same as an SI, and if its different, whats the difference. Also is the fuel pump any diff. thanx.

the intake from an HF has the smae wiring as far as injectors go. the difference between the HF MPFI manifold and the Si one, is size. the HF manifold is literally 1/3 as big.

fourthgen hatch...what does your car run in 1/4 mile?

WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY AFTERMARKET TRANNY??

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, aftermarket tranny ? Do you mean that you got a new one from the junkyard and maybe you got lucky and got a Si tranny ? As far as that motor having potiental, it dosen't, don't waste your time or money on that 8 vavle paper weight. Drop a D16a6 in ATLEAST or a ZC (which i'm not a big fan of but hey) and if you want to get all sorts of crazy go for a B series, and those motors all have potiental. If you still think that your HF motor has potiental than you go and mod it and go and play with a Si with a few little mods and see your potiental that you thought was once there slip away.

just get a B16A swap w/ tranny it's around 2000-2500 bucks for everything then spray a lil 55 shot until you get some more money for strengthing the block. if you know people you could probably get a nitrous kit for like 100-200 bucks. i got mine for 100. after i paint my car i'm goin to start savin for a b16a. my friend ran 7.85 1/8 mile which is high 12 sec 1/4 mile w/ a pretty much stock b16 w/ a 125 shot. of corse he lost compression in the #4 cylinder but 8 grand and fully built b16 later he sprayin a 225 shot . don't know what he'sgonna run yet cause he's still breakin the motor in. i'll keep ya'll updated in what he runs.

If you find any more cheap kits, let me know. I'm serious.

not a problem

WHAT MOTOR WOULD BE THE BEST! I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A B16 BUT I HAVENT FOUND ONE UNDER 1,000. IF YOU HAVE ANY SITES THAT I COULD GO LOOK AT THAT SELLS THOSE KIND OF MOTOR FOR A PRETTY GOOD DEAL, I'D LIKE TO HAVE IT. WHAT I MEAN BY AFTERMARKET TRANNY IS THAT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THIS GUY HE DIDNT HAVE THE STOCK TRANSMISSION IN IT, HE BOUGHT A NEW ONE AND ITS LIKE 3 YEARS OLD NOW, IT STILL HAS THE SAME GEAR RATIOS AND STUFF, I THINK, BUT ITS A LIL POWERFUL THAN THE STOCK ONE.

Your not gonna find a COMPLETE b16 motor for under 1000 unless your lucky. They usually run around 1100-1400 depends where u get it from. Another thing about your tranny that it is not aftermarket if it doesn't have aftermarket parts. Not a big deal anyways but like someone mentioned that u might have an si tranny which is good.:)

welcome to the club man, i recently got my b16 from www.hmotorsonline.com for everything i need to swap into my CRX so im sure you can get yours there too, after shipping it came out to 1500 but, im spending alot of money building the engine as well, so it'll prolly cost me around 2500 altogether for my swap.

but you can just get the engine and drop it in over the weekend.

good luck, and have fun.

I am a friend of CRXfanatic_88. The car definately seems to have more than 62 hp. Something can't be right. Its very akward. It actually suprised me with its power. Anyways ..so, FourthGenHatch, whats your car run in the 1/4, and how much HP do you think it is around.? If you have a timeslip Id like to know the 60', 1/8, 1/4. Is it pretty fast?

well maybe its an si motor? The tranny can make the car seems faster cause of shorter gears.

look on the left side of the engine right under the distibutor cap, there are numbers and letters what are they?

i could of got a 99 b16 si motor for 500 bucks because my friend totaled his si and the insurance company would sell it to me for that much but i didn't have 500 bucks :9
