Need Help: Narrowed It Down To 5... - Page 5

I don't know, I was talking to other people and it just seems that some other cars (Nissan 240SX and Ford Fox Body Mustang) are better. Don't ask me why, I am in no way an expert on cars, try to bring it up with them. I would like to hear this argument as I do like the CRX...

and the fact that it is not a performance car...he wants something to screw around with his friends. unless his friends are all driving go-karts, hes not gonna have much fun in a CRX beings he wont be able to keep up without dropping some serious cash on engine upgrades, turbo kits, and engine swaps.

yes you can make them lightning fast but it takes quite a bit of modding and know how.

since he doesnt know much about cars...it is gonna cost him alot of money to mod them because of labor charges. an intake and cat-back exhaust isnt gonna cut it...

But they're just as much a sports car as a 240SX at the end of the day. Even more of one if it has a B series motor.

This is interesting, please keep it going. Also, I'm assuming the Del Sol, will be the same performance wise as the CRX?

oh yes, i know...i stated that in a previous post.

the B series ARE sports cars compared to the US spec 240sx...

and yes a del sol will have the same lack of performance as a CRX...i mean, dont get me wrong. these cars can be made deadly quick but not for on a slim budget.

Slightly slower. The del Sol is pretty fat compared to the lean CRX.

I see. How much would you have to spend to make a CRX do a...say a 14 second 1/4 mile? Thanks.

im not huge on my honda facts or anything but i think it would take a turbo kit or a motor swap.

i think GSR motors run a few grand plus labor charges...your looking at about $4k on what i think is the best route to make a 14 second 1/4 miles or better with a CRX.

im sure there are turbo kits out there that you can add for a little cheaper but then you sacrifice reliability...nitrous is also an option but i dont think this is a popular choice because once you again, you put the motor in a lot of stress.

doing all basic bolt-ons which could run you a few grand in itself, will maybe net you a low 15 at best...

anyone, if im wrong or you want to further explain, go ahead...like i said, im not really a honda guy.

GS-R motors are overpriced, and not a good swap to do with only five grand. I think that a turbo D-Series is the best way to go for a CRX. But I'm not a Honda man either.

Is anyone a Honda man?

yeah me too. id say go b16, but thats just me. it fits with the car real well. a b16 powereed crx is pretty fast and the swap isnt extremely difficult. just gotta find someone that knows what theyre doing.

GamerFreak · #73 05-31-2005, 10:39 AM

How much would it run me?

mrgofast21018 · #74 05-31-2005, 02:01 PM

i know a bunch of sites where you can get the entire swap., the tranny the computer and the motor for 1500. labor and mounts tho... those are another story. check out www.hmotorsonline.com
