Gamedon Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 My Friend has a Civic CRX project car and he want to put a b18c1 in it and i said Too much fabrications, your better off with the 1.6 liter. Am i right how much work/price would a b18c take to install with all componets installed. Is a B16a easier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am i right how much work/price would a b18c take to install with all componets installed. Is a B16a easier? b16 will be cheaper than the b18 b16 gen 1 (160 hp, JDM) would be easiest due to the cable clutch. this is the motor found in the CRX SiRs. b16 gen 2 (170 hp, JDM) and b18c1 (170 hp, USDM) are both hydraulic clutches, so it is a little more difficult. mounts will be needed for all of the swaps, but as far as actually installing (aside from the hydraulic clutch), they're probably about the same as far as difficulty.

Gamedon Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 He dosent want JDM now for sure were going to get that usdm 1.6 b16a... well if thats the only prob we have to get out of the way so be it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 if you're looking at the sirI b16, with the cable clutch, it's only available JDM. also, you're going to need to wire vtec... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBirdSucks Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 what trim level is the crx? if it's not an SI, he'll need the module from an SI(can't think of the except part name at the moment). getting down to what engine to use, how much money do you want to spend? and what exactly do you want out of the car? B16A1 with ITR internals, ITR intake manifold, intake, header, exhaust, and whatever else would be a nice setup in a crx. but, she's right. the B16A1 and A2 are the only cable clutch B16s and they only came in JDM 88-91 civic SiRs and JDM second gen integras. if it makes you feel any better, they aren't expensive at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamedon Posted August 3, 2003 Author Share Posted August 3, 2003 Civic girl im not up on my information, but whats year is the generation 2 B16a, and from which variation has hyd. clutch? im way ahead of with the ECU---------- I was wondering if you were to set vtec to engage at 3,000 RPMS (I heard this is not a good idea, but its stuck in my mind) - Basically i know Vtec works off of oil pressure and electronic lift control .... this coudn't be a bad thing could it? I know my mechanics but not my Engine Info ( or at least some 1.6 Variations ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamedon Posted August 3, 2003 Author Share Posted August 3, 2003 OH and by the way this 1900 pound car is planning to be running 500 hp on the street (Forced Induction + Nitro) And the money were going all out on the money I dont know how but its gonna be done. You wanted to know what type the trim is the CRX ? im guessing base Model its a 1990 Civic CRX...he bought the car it was smoking terribly and it had no embelem.

Gamedon Posted August 3, 2003 Author Share Posted August 3, 2003 We are not going JDM here, USDM for our civic ( will easily match your speed on the street if not were just faster than you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBirdSucks Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 if you really want to stick with USDM, go for a hybrid motor. CR/VTEC would be my choice. you have to be careful when setting where your VTEC engages. 3000 is way too early. get a VTEC controller such as the Apexi VAFC and learn how to use it. then depending on what's done to the engine, set it. go to a dyno and run it with different VTEC engagements to figure out which point makes the most power. this may sound strange, but it may actually need to engage at a higher RPM than stock.

Gamedon Posted August 3, 2003 Author Share Posted August 3, 2003 what what engine you say CR/VTEC <--- whats that Did you mean the CR-V <--- with the B20 engine i think !!! thats too big i rather put the in my civic coupe than his CRX to have no hassles with it. Alrighty were looking to put a 1.6 in here K ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBirdSucks Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 I e-mailed you about it. it'll take the same work to put a b20 in a civic/crx as it would to put the b16 in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRG7 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 http://www.hondahookup.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8417 Read that before you consider changing your VTEC engagement point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplyPimpin Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 any b series motor will be pretty damn close to the same to install and if you want to go fast put the B20-vtec (CR/V-tec) motor in. in my personal opinion, and i have the B16, had the B18, and am building the B20, its by far the best way to go... displacement is easy power....

Alrighty were looking to put a 1.6 in here K ! All B series are the same same (not displacement wise), other than a few more MM on the deck height. 500whp on the street? Waste of money. Who wants to spend money on race gas all the time? Street racing is gay. If you're not going to race competitively, all you need is a stock engine(that is stock as in the engine that came in the car from the factory).
