***The complete CRX modification thread***
:aww Just a little idea that i had in mind for a lil while, where i'd list all common modifications to the entire car, and provide links and pricing to each, so when people wonder what else they can do to their car, they can come here and see what else they have left done, and how much it would cost
It will take me a while to complete it, and provide all the links to it, so it will be a long work in progress, so if any1 wants to help me out with links/pricing or ideas to mod, i'd appreciate it.
lets start
Power Train
Engine
D16Z6 head - Will go directly onto an Si model block (D16) with an ECU swap and some wiring for VTEC, all other models will need the full D series motor
125hp
150$ for head
150$ for ECU
plus other parts IE wiring harness, add 100$
ZC motor - D series 1.6 motor, non vtec, direct swap into an Si model, nothing required, but an ZC ECU upgrade is recomended, you can even keep the Si tranny. HF and DX models will need more work done, and more parts.
130hp
$ 525.00 Plus shipping and handling.
comes with everything needed

Transmition
D series
HF - long gears, economy
DX - similar to Si gears (i believe)
Si - short gears, with good final drive
ZC transmition - shortest gears
Best performance combo ZC with Si final drive. (costs a pretty penny to do)
Turbo Charger
Stock honda blocks can usually handle about 10psi but thats at the limit, higher boost, need to build internals.
Look at $1200+ for a full turbo setup ("junkyard setup")
Full kits are $2K +
