Fully Built D series or swap to B18a1 in CRX Si???
 
What would you think is a better choice. I mean i can fully built my D series engine or swap out for a B series engine in my CRX Si. What would be a better choice? I mean i can always fully built the LS motor later on?

get the ls, and post the block before you put it in. that way when you build it, you wont have to pull it.

Which D series engine? IMHO, unless you're going for over 400 hp a B series swap is a waste of money. It really depends on what you plan to do. If you're going for major power do the B swap, otherwise build a turbo D.

Your budget plays the best part in this one.

I've always been a fan of the B series motors.

---- it, just turbo whatever you got in there already.

i think u could put in an ls motor for real cheap, and turbo that for less then a built turbo D. i just picked up a complete b18a for 200 bucks. granted u would still needs mounts, linkage, tranny... it wouldn't be all the expensive if u kept an eye out for ----.

that was gonna be my plan till it turned into a headache. im now gonna turbo a d-series in another crx.
