91 Honda crx build or what?
Well its been an extremely busy week with projects,some dude saying my item has arrived when it hasnt,battle of the bands at my school, superbowl,gym, etc and im using my car knowledge to help my best friend fix up/mod a honda crx he bought for $300 off another friend and whatever we are planning on making it go fast but also look good at the same time. We have been messing around with it canging fuses that were bad in the ECU and on saturday i opened the engine up finding the timing belt way out of timing and the valves not looking to good. We both had the idea that if the valves were bad then we were going to salvage the engine and get a racing one. We were going to paint it yellow and we still are but that will happen in time. The car is a 5 speed manual at the moment but that will change very soon. We are planning on Putting a 260-300hp engine into it which is alot for a 2000lb car. Here are some pictures what we did today(stripping motor). I will keep you posted and there might be random wait points.
My computer sais BMP files are not supported i will post pics tommow on my lappy. |

With 300HP in a CRX, the power to weight ratio will be great. I don't see a need for a turbo, thats just more money to spend, plus your going to have to richen the mixture which means more money to spend on gas at the pump. Are yall gonna paint it? What suspension upgrades are planned? Wheels?

RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
Definitely. Its one thing to risk your life, but its another when you risk everyones.

RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
No man guys have you seen fast n furious??? Street racing is for cool people!
On a serious note, you guys better be rich 1 years olds to do all that stuff, you probably need to swap the motor etc. and that costs $$$ |
RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
Ya, thats alot of work, you can't just plop a 300 horse engine in a car like that, you will have to reinforce the frame, larger brakes, all the werks.... or you can go the sissy way and just get all bolt on stuff:):):)

RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
I wont need a turbo because that involves keeping the stock motor which as of tomorow going to the junk yard or one of these days. When we buy the tranny it will be either a 5 or 6 speed because everyone knows more speeds equals better mileage and FASTER!
No i will not be street racing it i have many abandoned roadways that cars dont even go through cough cough;)Homestead miami speedways entrance road when there arent any events going on. I will get pictures in like 7 hours when my sister comes back from work.( i had early release in my school at 11:30) |
RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
actually more gears dosent always equal more speen or better mileage. it could just mean the gears are a closer ratio makin you shift more frequently and thus makin you slower. it all depends on the ratios.

RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
What! I was told they make you go faster! Im going to find out now.[&:]

RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
ORIGINAL: quadzilla122 What! I was told they make you go faster! Im going to find out now.[&:] Also if you don't understand gear ratios, I doubt installing a transmission will be feasable for you. A little learning and research goes a long way. I would hate if there was a part oon my car that I don't know how it works. That makes it easy for me to tear into my engine and fix anything I want. 300 HP from a honda 4 banger....without a turbo? Good luck with that |
RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
I read all the diagrams and saw a couple of videos now. Autoxman please dont underestimate me,,im a quick learner. If i experience any problems i have many books and the internet to help me. I want to keep this a good clean thread so please i dont want anything to happen.

RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
No prob, can you just explain to me how to get 300 hp out of a honda 4 cyl? Without spending thousands and without a power adder?
|
RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
quad - Aren't you like 15? There are some things you can't learn from books and you certainly won't get everything right if this is your first time taking on a project of this size. Why don't you get your dad or your friends dad into this and make it more of a father/son project? I don't want to see you blow 5 grand when the car breaks in half.

RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
so youre buying an engine from ebay that suppposedly has 300hp for $450 with a turbo?
|
RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
I have no real budget(because he is buying all the stuff and me and him are going to install it). He is 17 and has lots of money from doing home inspections with his mom. Also his parents are divorced so he is living with his mom. He is the one that knows what brand is good,what place is cheaper to buy from and a little less about installing then me. We are using my dads tools which are mostly mac and craftman tools because my dad does everything at home except tire stuff(which is alot). I happen to have that crane for the motor because i have a 1972 chevy camaro ss in my garage that i plan to restore when im way older but that project will cost cost me about 12k+.

RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
oh. do you plan on building an engine or buyin one assembled?
|
RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
Ummm that is a 1.3 litre engine?

RE: 91 Honda crx build or what?
ORIGINAL: quadzilla122 By this i meant i wont put a turbo on the stock motor the motor that i will buy will have a turbo(sorry if i confused you guys) but the motor im going to buy is going to have one. Once again im not keeping the stock motor because several signs of corrosion and the valves are extremely bad(the motor on ebay is $450 and the valves brand new by them selves are about $300+oem)thats is not including all the rest of the corroded parts like the tranny is really rough. I had to change about 3 fuses. Anyhoo..When you say the original motor is corroded and the valves are 'bad', what exactly do you mean? The block and head is alloy so i presume your referring to the internals....has it not been ran for some time??? Oh and you say "corroded parts like the tranny is really rough", what the gears or synchro rings or selector shafts or bearings?? What engine are you thinking of 'dropping' in there? Are you converting to rear drive? I see you mention a six speed box, you know you can't just fit any old box on any old engine? Also i hope you understand that fitting a non-standard engine into any car is a major task involving modification and fabrication of parts/electrics...it's not simple! Not forgetting all the other alterations you'll need to make if your increasing the power by well over 100%![&:] |
