Re:88 CRX HF Race Car

Bah.. DOHC is overrated.. Think of the humiliation of defeating a "Hoss" V8 Vette or Mustang driven by some preppy over-paid suit that thinks he knows about cars with a SOHC!! "WHOA?! You running a B18 with NOS?!?" "Uhm, no, I'm running a 13 year old single cam with a little 'intake/header/exhaust'"

Re:88 CRX HF Race Car

Hello,
I purchased a few items today: 1994 b181 block and crank w/ Darton sleeves from a local guy for $400, ordered Eaglef forged H -Beam from Race Engineering for $369, and picked up a set of Arias forged 9:1 pistons for $150 from a buddy. This leaves me with a few questions:
1) What cylinder head do you recomend for this setup? I have a chance to buy a 98 USDm b18c5 head complete for $300 or a complete b16a2 head for $175.

2) Where can i purchase gaskets and bearing for a good price?

Thanks, Ben

i would go with a b18a/b fully built and i mean fully sleaves rods pistons crank everything. if it's only a drag car don't spend money on a lsd just weld yours. fully built head. some type of stand alone fuel management. and boost it like 35psi.

Re:88 CRX HF Race Car

we use the aem pnp system on supra's at hte shop i work at and its a great standalone, they just have alot of bug's that need to be worked out, especially the race unit, thats why youd not see the race unit being shown by them yet...

Re:88 CRX HF Race Car

Once you buy the AEM.. you will get access to their "call center" I beleive and they can give you a hand setting up tunes.. I think thats what jim was saying.
