it's from a 91 crx vtec, was thinking about putting it into my 2000 3 dr hatch - would it work or what else would i need to make it work? (goddamn cheap for an engine!)

 

it will work but it would work alot better with a 92+ transmission but I have to ask why are you willing to put a 15 year old engine in your 2000 model car in the name of about 15 more whp?

 

i thought the b16a's produced 160bhp? my car currently only has 90bhp
i've been looking for a transplant, and this seems to be the best choice right now. there is a block for sale on ebay for about €200, was thinking of getting that and starting from scratch (gimme something to do in the evenings!) although if i could get a complete unit, why not?
is there much difference between the '90 crx block and later blocks (exhaust manifold, etc.)?

 

Hey man I just did it into my car(also a 2000) but now I have emission legality issues. CHECK YOUR Local LAWS about putting an older motor into a newer car!!!!! Save yourself alot of aggrivation!!!!!

 

they have 160 crank hp, the 1st gen B16's are known to put down around 135whp stock

 

that is a problem here also - any mil's or incorrect emissions will fail the nct, and there's no way of bribing the testers!!

 

B16a1's found in the 88-91 crx have 150bhp, the a2's have 160bhp at the crank.

 

For emissions.. i keep a second gauge cluster since i bought an EX one from Marty.. this way when its time for emissions i just swap my old one back in and take it for inspection and per Pennsylvania state laws.. under 5k miles per year and your exempt from emissions.
