Rick B. Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 i had a 2.5" drop on my civic with sway and strut bars and it handled like a dream. this is also just an opinion, but maybe you should try getting 15" or 16" rims. its better on gas mileage and it helps you accelerate a little bit faster since there isnt so much wheel to turn. after the intake, the intake manifold, the trottle body, header, exhaust, and cams, you will be right around 210 whp give or take 10hp depending on the tune. thats a good amount of power for a crx. it was great in my civic, so i can only imagine how it would feel in a much lighter car.

Hatch92 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 hmotorsonline.com is the best place to buy motors. i'd just put a stock b18c or b18c1 motor it would keep you happy for a while. then i would drop it on a set of 16's instead of 17's, with a nice sway bar package and coilovers/struts/ plus maybe a strut bar and/or lower tie bar. all that with a b18c/c1 would make a nasty dd and quick little track/back road car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HONDACRXMAN Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 sweet. thanks for giving me some helping advise. im looking at turbo kit from turbonetics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 before you go and get a turbo, drive it with just the motor for awhile so you can get used to the power difference. a lightly modded gsr will give you a nice little push into the back of your seat. and a turbo, well. lets say you will have traction problems.

Hatch92 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 if you plan on boosting a b18c5 then by the time your donw everything that makes it a type-r motor will be replaced so it will be just another b18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
