Just bought a 1989 CRX HF
Hey guys, new to this board but not new to the site. used to drive a TL. Alright, i'm picking up a white 1989 CRX HF for $1500. I was wondering what you all suggest for swapping engines. I've heard great things about ZC's i can get one for $500. What about B16's, do you guys consider that overpowered? i'm not sure on what to do though. In my parts CRX's are pretty common, with the LED windshield washer nozzles and the LED valvestem caps. I was actually going to be different and start a little JDM project. keep it clean. what are your suggestions?

Definitely keep it clean. If you want a cheap swap go with the ZC or Sohc Vtec. If you want more power go with a b series swap. b16a, b18a/b, b18c/c1/c5, or an LS-Vtec, CRVtec, or just a plain b20 swap. the possibilites are endless.
 Good Luck

Too much power!?!!
 What does this mean? How can you have too much power? .... Go with a b-series engine or a SOHC vtec. So many ppl have had problems with the ZC, ask almost any1 who has one on this forum.......
