boosted k-series in a crx
 

i've been contemplating ditching my current project to pick up a k motor for my crx. i love my zc but the thought of having a new heart with as much hp as my lil turd puts out boosted gets me thinking. do any of you guys think it'd be worth it? i know the expenses needed but im willing to dig deep to pull this one off. any suggestions?

k20 swap is VERY involved. prepare to do some fab work and LOTS of wiring. theres a guy on honda-tech that just buttoned up a k20 swap in his crx.

the thread is kinda long but if you skim through it you'll get the gist. keep in mind this guy is a wiring guru, (owner of rywire.com) so he doesnt go in depth into much of the wiring. i also think he spent around 9-10k to complete the swap.

also im not sure how turbo clearance will be against the firewall, i cant imagine there will be much.

best of luck.

actually from the pic that he shows of the header clearance you could shoe horn a good sized turbo in there

need room for the manifold too :) if you got one in there, id would be TIGHT

i was thinking about doing the same thing until i found its expensive to do

theres a guy in town doing a kswap, i think hes putting the k24 head on the k20 bottom end , no clue if thats right dont keep up with k ---- cause ill never be able to afford it, and turboing it with full standalone. GOin into crx. Pretty badass idea,should be killer ride.

just checked out ryans crx k20 that thing is tite :y im gonna start pricing some essentials out and go from there.i don't care if i have to drive around n/a for a while til i piece together a turbo kit. at the time being that swap combo gets a "A+" for rarity

for the complete swap and turboeing lol, yur gunna end up spending close to 10 grand.... in a $1500 car, its not worth it.

Even tho, with just im, cai, and headers, you could net some low 12 second passes.

Re: boosted k-series in a crx
 

yea it costs a lot but if you could find a k24 motor from an accord,element or tsx it will save rather than spending like 5 grand for a k20. k24's run anywhere from 600-1000 bucks. hasport has mounts and all the other ---- to get it done but yea still gonna cost a pretty penny.

Re: boosted k-series in a crx
 

thats a totally bad outlook on it. he wants a car that is fast. with this swap,turboed it will be just that. it doesnt matter how much the car costs initially. Not to mention the crx is one of the best platforms to make a fast honda. my crx costed me 3K a couple years ago and I've put more than that into it since then...am I wasting my money? ::)

If he has the money, time, and patience to do this, then I'm all for it. I personally do not have the money to do a k swap in my crx, so I'm sticking to b series.
