BlackNova Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hey guys! Okai, one day, I got an idea...put a prelude engine in a CRX, then turbocharge it! But I am not sure if it is possible without serious modifications. So I was wondering if someone could help me out and give me some insight about this topic. Thanks for any advice!! -G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGRacer Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 yes it is possible. practical maybe not but possible yes. turbo on an h22 in a crx is mad crazy. just get mounts. i think you may have to custom fab those. but props to ya if ya do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackNova Posted March 3, 2004 Author Share Posted March 3, 2004 Thanks man...I was wondering also about what size turbo i could put in it? i dont want anything too small thats not gonna make some real power, but i dont want anything too big so i have a lot of lag and a hard time fitting it. And what is a good company? I was thinking Greddy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrxMob Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 how much power could u acutally get out of a crx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 he's not getting power out of a crx, he's getting power out of a prelude motor in a crx. i'd be careful boosting prelude motors, i've heard some bad stories about turbocharged h22's and h23's.

penusai Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I say you just drop in like a b16a, and beef up the internals, and redline at 9,500rpm =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackNova Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 What were the stories you heard about them? Im tryin to pull @ least 300-400 horses from it so i wanna get as much advice i can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBirdSucks Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 you won't get that much out of it with stock internals, you'll be lucky to even hook up well with an H22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGRacer Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 bbs is right. u are gona wana throw DOT legal street slicks to get good traction. a short throw is a must. also you can turbo your h22a but just get low comp pistons and a lil work on your internals and youll be fine. i would reccomend a t3/t4 hybrid or a HKS GT2835 Pro S Turbo. specs on the HKS are as follows: HKS GT2835 Pro S - 420 PS Output COMPRESSOR: -Wheel- 56 Trim - 53.1 Inducer / 71.1 Major -Housing- 100 Inlet / 50 Outlet - 0.50 A/R TURBINE: -Wheel- 84 Trim - 56.5 Major / 51.8 Exducer -Housing- T3 inlet / Outlet spec: Internal GT-Pro; 0.68, 0.87 A/R that will make for a nice turbo setup and some nice boosting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckmofo Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 H22a is a strong motor but your suspension would be a bitch, and turning! why not just drop a b18c t3/t4 in it? A b16a2 waxes a h22a and a b18c would rape the h22a. plus The b18c is better for boost :bow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckmofo Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 ???what A b16a2 is weaker then a h22a but which car is bigger? a perlude or a civic crx wit a b16a2? Think about it a civic with a b16a2 WILL TAKE a h22a in a lude and a civic with a b18c1 will RAPE a lude with a h22a. How do I know? Cause I have a civic with a b16a2 and my friend has a civic with a b18c1 and we both have a friend who has a lude with the h22a in it. I've seen it with my own eyes.

optional187 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 but what happens when you put the h22a in the same car that the b16 is in? didn't think about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k2kornbizkit Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hey man i had the same idea for a f***king crx like that too! I wanted the f*cking h22a because of the bigg horsepower numbers and because of the crx' is lite as hell. I do think theres hope with putting in the h22a, but youd prolly have to find a donor car to steal all of the neccesary crap from it. I think its good god damn idea and i hope that i wont be the first to do it. good luck to both yall with the same idea oh yea and i think a crx with an h22a will kick any b16a or b18c ass youve got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckmofo Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 why not just dropp a b16a or b18c in it? the h22a won't turn good un less you want a car that only goes staright. I think the only up to the h22a is the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only up to the h22a is the price stiffer springs would help that and better suspension upgrades. then move the battery to the back and you'll be fine.

stuckmofo Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 ya but all that work? I still think a b18c would dominate think about it! But hey what ever ya want to do but i would go with the b18c, but i supose if you want a DRAG car to run on a DRAG strip and not a everyday ride an h22a would kill. And who was the f*g who said that there is no such thing as a JDM b16a2? Sir II >>>>>>>its JDM basterd !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBirdSucks Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 JDM honda engines don't have numbers at the end. therefore, there is no JDM B16A2. the B16A2 is in the 6th gen Civic Si. all that work? it's not as easy as a B series swap, but the H22 would completely rape a B16A or B18C1 CRX. I'm gay because I know what I'm talking about? I'm not the one with flames on my car calling everyone out and calling everyone racist names.

stuckmofo Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I'll take a picture of my engine code it says B16A and its the SirII which is JDM I only attack when being attacked. Doyou know how many show cars have flame graphics on them? My car is all for show and I just have the engine to back it up. All show is gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBirdSucks Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 ok then, you don't have a B16A2 who was attacking you? what did I do to deserve being called a homosexual? I'm all for some flames on a car or truck if they look good, but IMO yours don't look good and that car is not show quality. a B16A isn't that much go either. how old are you?

The Prelude is WAAYY heavier than the small, light CRX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckmofo Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I won 3rd at the drop jaw car show a few months back, I'm 17...18 in a few months and I've been working like a dog to mod my car.. Everyone started diss'n the car wehn i tried to sell it so fawk em all. :stupid: what the hell does that mean honda freak? Lets face it it would be easier to drop a b18c in a crx then an h22a. Would it be woth an extra what 40 hps? When you could easly mod the b18c to gain 40hps. Anyway drop it Whoever started this post do WHAT YOU WANT, and best of luck to ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
