Default Which swap is for me?
So I plan on getting a Honda Crx in a few months and I was wondering what swap is for me. This car will be a daily driver and will be boosted to 7-9psi. I don't want high hp just enough to run 13.5s with slicks. I don't want to spend a fortune either. I was thinking about a b16a, but then I went to d-series.org and the guys there said that I can run 13.5s with a d. Pretty much I would like to get a fairly cheap and reliable swap with turbo.

sounds like a swaped in non turbo 1.0liter firefly engine would suit you perfectly

I'd say.. D16Z6, if you just want to buy a complete engine for it

I'd turbo the stock D 'til she blows though :P

I've got a D16y8 and ran 13.86 at 10psi with drag RADIALS if that helps.
