Anybody know of any good shops who could build a solid CR-VTEC complete changeover for my rex? Preferably in the Cali region and able to ship to Hawaii. Please list down any websites and numbers..thank you.

Ask for Jeff, he is really nice and knowlegeable.

They sell fully built motors, blocks or whatever.

Damn expensive though from what I have seen. But I am sure he does a good job. Didn't he used to hang out here a long time ago before he got kicked off?

damn expensive........

i asked for a quote for a crvtec and they said 12,500

 

[azkk00]

hmmm the price they gave me was much cheaper, ??

 

[LuckyH]

My boy can build em, how serious are you about it, like you want it really soon? And I can't give you a definet (sp?) price because you can use many different part's. Like using a B18c5 head is gonna cost more than using a B16. Also what type of pistons, rods, and such would you wanna use?

 

[twofacedsir]

Called R&D, they quoted me 4200 for a CR-VTEC, that's with no motor work done though and includes everything needed to get this in my rex and running. But advancing the intake cams, or you'll snap a valve or something..Don't want that.

Called importbuilders and they quoted 9g's. Whoa! He went on and on about how they'll do this and that..(rods, pistons, new bearings, head work, etc.) I think 9g's is way too steep for me..Anybody other shops around?

yeah importbuilders/jeff seems to know what he's doing,but yup pretty fockin expensive.he told me for the crvtec with his hks pieced turbo kit would run me round 15,000.more than twice i paid for my car! but he said i'd be kicking motorcycle ass.?hmmm would i be that fast?and if i was?could i get all that power to the ground?

There is no way you could launch from 1st and keep the tires from spinning.

Wow! is the torque that vicious...with the CR-VTEC I should be able to scratch all 5 gears then in my rex with a B16 tranny?...being that the axles hold up. How about with some slicks, will that help solve some traction problems?

Jeff from Importbuilders does know what he is doing. He was selling this crvtec package with a t3/t4 turbo making ~375 hp on 12psi and he had a dyno on his site to prove it.

 

[zreuan]

It would be fact but I wouldn't go so far as to say you would be kicking motorcycles ass, sense the average motorcycle can run low 10's and many like a stock v-max or GSXR1100 run in the 9's

 

[SpoonDOHCVTEC]

hmm

I can build one...built two one high compresion.. one low turbo...and B18c5 heads are just b16 heads...gs-R head is good on low end and b16 is good on top end... email me

 

[B18c_CivicHB]

Hey SpoonDOHCVTEC, which part of Texas are you from?

What kind of numbers are those engines you built putting down?

 

[SpoonDOHCVTEC]

Austin

we never dynoed them but the all motor b20 ran a 13.1 @114 on mesh Gs-R wheels on a stock head getting cams soon......and the Turbo one hasnt ran it yet cause he is awaiting Z-10 bars

 

[MR2KSi]

Import Builders.. Jeffs' motors are dyno proven. No one ever said high peformance/quality would be cheap. He has different "crate motor" packages. Figure out EXACTLY what you want and then do the research. Good luck.

 

[MugenSi00]

Jeff is a good guy and knows his shit, but his prices are high. If you do your research, you can duplicate his setup for less money if you do the labor yourself.

Bro is that just the b20 motor all motor? cause i'm going for the b20 swap. what mods are on the b20 to run a low 13? and in what car?

 

[dr_dohc]

im sure its not just the b20 all motor...he's talkin bout the CRVTEC...

so it was stock? like was it a b16 head? wat car was it? was it striped?
