July 12, 200619 yr Author and i reccomended the B-series because they are pretty much the honda universal block (doesnt take much modification to fit a b-series into an A,C,D,E,F engine bay...probably easy to drop into an H enigne bay but why would you want a B-series in an H bay) with lots of power for such small cars. They are also very easy to tune as long as you have a working EMS which can be bought really cheap and are quite prevelant (at least around here).<{POST_SNAPBACK}>You are going over my head my man...I get the idea of what you are saying. Any version Civic/CRX motor will fit in any of the same bay.
July 12, 200619 yr Author wasnt saying use one type R....i was saying they are that easy to get loud as phuck in. We where dabbleing in the 150 realm with little knowledge of what we where doing with a crappy battery and crappy power.i want to see you touching 160's with that type of equiptment <{POST_SNAPBACK}>60's would kick ass...I am thinking 55-56 range myself...
July 12, 200619 yr you can get 9 12's in that thing if ya want.....and live in the 60's....well, they have to be squares...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
July 12, 200619 yr Author you can get 9 12's in that thing if ya want.....and live in the 60's....well, they have to be squares...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Maybe further down the road I'll keep that in mind
July 12, 200619 yr just to get your blood flowing...muhahahahahahawheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

There are probably 100+ B18 to CRX swap walk throughs on the net.
July 13, 200619 yr Integras are acura....derDont rip those louvers off, i bet they will dance like crazy when you get the wopoferage in
July 13, 200619 yr too bad Acura is made by honda and Acura is honda everywhere else in the freaking world except america where an econobox company cant make a nice car unless the econobox company owns the company that makes the nice car.same thing with lexus/toyota
July 13, 200619 yr too bad Acura is made by honda and Acura is honda everywhere else in the freaking world except america where an econobox company cant make a nice car unless the econobox company owns the company that makes the nice car.same thing with lexus/toyota<{POST_SNAPBACK}>NSX.....no honda equavelent to that is there....I dont recall any hondas using the B18 eitherBut then again, imports can lick my but and i dont care about them. PITA to wire up.
July 13, 200619 yr Honda NSX... That is who the NSX is "made by" everywhere else but the US and close contries.and the B-Series was never used in a USA honda, correct, but it can easily be transplanted into almost any honda.
July 13, 200619 yr Author Yes, Honda made the NSX before Acura did...Honda owns acura, just as lexus and toyota, infinity and nissan...Enough with the bickering.
July 13, 200619 yr Author This could be a hella sick project but why MT's???J<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Cause a I have them and the DDs are getting reconed I am not a bandwagoneer...they hold together when abused with 10kw, that is why I use them. The DDs couldnt handle the power, but were louder.Now...Bad news...car is shot. Its going to cost way to much to get it where I want it. I am going to just bite the bullet and buy one in good shape.

I have faith in you and honda engines are the next step after 5hp briggs in mechanical knowledge (its kinda sad and ironic. going from working on a go-kart to working on a bigger enlcosed go-kart)do a price comparison and pay yourself for labor too in the price comparison. around here running CRX's run 1000-1800 dependin on how ragged they are and what "modzzz" the owner thinks he is selling you.
July 13, 200619 yr And though i have no first hand experence with the MT's or the DD 9500's or 9900's, the MT's seem to be dominating the competition right now so they cant be a bad choice .

July 13, 200619 yr I just saw a pair fail before a drag in Niagara Falls, and a few others fail i n Rochester and such...........they just aren't anything that impresses me.J
July 14, 200619 yr where are you located anyway?There is a Geo Metro for 1200 right down the road from my grandparents house. It has been sitting there for a few weeks though and it says negotiable so you could probably talk them down, i was thinking about stopping and takig it for a test drive for my own project loud but unless they would give it to me fore less than $400 there is no way in hell i could do it.
July 14, 200619 yr Heh, 1990 is the oldest that edmunds goes for and dealer valuein good condition for our zip is only $395. Thoes people are crazy. I should print that out and take it to them then offer htem $250
