Re:88 crx si
 

any info at all will be use full from inside to outside i just need to learn bout this car and hondas in the mean time cause i plan to throw like 9 or 10 grand into this car and then sell it to get a evo 7 or s2000

Re:88 crx si
 

I hate to break it to you, but tuned Hondas, unless done really well and with high quality products, do not have great resale. If you dumped 9 or 10 grand into the car, you might get about 6 or 7 grand out of the sale. Also, good luck getting an Evo VII as they never sold them in the states....only the Evo VIII which is coming out later this year.

But to answer your question......
If you want this thing running 11s I'd go with any of the engines you mentioned or a B16A as well but all with a turbo. You might need nitrous oxide too but I'm not sure; depends on what all you do to the car. A setup like that though is going to cost you pretty penny, so if you're on a tight budget (like most of us) don't aim for 11 second timeslips. And really, a 13 or 14 second car is plenty fast for a daily driver CRX.

Re:88 crx si
 

well your kind of late, seeing as the evo7 was the last model and the current is the 8, i dont think they are going to be coming out here (the 7), and if you want a 7 you are gona spend a "hella" lot of money to get it through inspections and registration..

Re:88 crx si
 

o for real i want a evo 7 i heard there coming to america this year i will do what ever to get 1 im determined

Re:88 crx si
 

READ CAREFULLY, the evo 7 will never be sold here. the evo 8 is coming out this year....

Re:88 crx si
 

Evo 8's are nice..

but remember guys, they have 4 doors, big turn off for me..

Re:88 crx si
 

why i like 4 doors espcially when you can blew the doors off any car i can't wait for the sti wagon of course something different.

Re:88 crx si
 

no matter how "cool" the evo 8 will be, its still gonna be usdm. i know its illegal to run full j-specs underthe hood, but i'd do it anyway.
