what up guys i'm new to this site and new to owning a honda. i currently have a 87 crx si. and really i want to do is fix it up to have good speed and pass people on the freeway. i just have an intake system but looking into buying more things but i can't seem to find **** for this year. is it the same as the 88 1.5 or anything else i should know maybe some cheap trixs. i used to have a 94 saturn sl2 and i had it running high 14s daily driver and all motor here in el paso texas and hoping to get another one soon to have as a straight drag car. well any help will be cool plus i really want to learn this crx and one other thing is the body different from a 87 to 88 or would a body kit from a 88 fit? thanks in advance.

 

i dont no to much about the CRX but try posting in the motor section for some more replys on the difference between the two..welcome to the forum!

 

Welcome to the site.

 

if you want to lower it in the front you can adjust the torsion beams to lower it a bit, the rear you can get eibach lowering springs for it. pacesetter makes a headr and exhaust( they are cheap and you get what you pay for). that body style is different than the 88-91 so a body kit wont fit on an 87. if you want a rather cheap suspension upgrade, get new polyurethane bushings for it, it will be the biggest improvement for the suspension ever.

engine wise hks made a turbo kit for it, but good luck finding one ever.

 

cool deal guys looking into this thing a bit more a pacesetter headers with a diy catback exhuast. plus some good set of wires withe good plugs ( any suggestion) cause on my satty i had denso iridium. does msd make distributers and how bout an intake manifold plus the tb is also diy. thats what i kinda looking to doing to my car and maybe putting this turbo i have laying around just boosts up to 7 psi can stock internals handle that. thanks guys.

 

you can get a good set of plugs and wires, and it is an external coil car factory, so you could just buy a msd blaster to pump up the voltage a bit. i don't know of any manifolds for it unless you want dual weber carbs and i can't remember who makes that at the moment. it might be possible to retrofit a throttle body from a 88-91 si but im not sure of the diameter or of bolt patterns of the 84-87 engines throttle body.
