Engine Choice

[Jurenic]

Hey guys, I've a shy poster, but long time viewer. Anyways, I'm going to buy a CRX, and the first thing that comes to mind is an engine swap. Now, there are few choices. I'm aiming for 250 - 350++ HP using forced induction. Which motor would you recomend? ZC isn't on my list, B16 might work (Does it matter too much which version), or how about B18C1? How dificoult is that swap? Please excuse my spelling, and my newbiesh questions.

Thanks for your opinions.

check Here to see what engine best suits your needs. I too have been juggling whether to get a B16 or B18.

Not to jack your thread, but does anyone have HP/TQ ratings on those engines.

B16 is 160/110 i think

Take a look, Here , just found it.

B18C1 is under integra

Thanks for your input guys. Now, did anyone buy motor from Nippon, are they realiable? Also, I heard that CRV head and B16 block is a good combo, corect me if I'm wrong...

Your CRX in the signature looks delecious! Where can I see more pictures?

what's your budget like and/or what are you looking to do with the car exactly?

[Jurenic]

Well, I'm planing to do some autox but mainly evryday driving/show car. As far as the budget goes, I'm planing to buy stuff gradually, but engine swap is first on the list after the car, and I'll have money for it.

btw, your crx looks nice.
