v-6 crx
 

does anyone know if it's possible to put a C27A( 89" acura legend motor) into a crx. i'm looking to do something different from a the typical honda guys out there, this engine is a v-6 SOHC that is factory rated 170hp and 178lb/ft of torque stock. if anyone now if this will work in a daily driver let me know, or if you have comments hit me up.

Re:v-6 crx
 

If it is possible It would be a complete waist of time especially for a daily driver. 170 HP isn't worth it :-\.

Re:v-6 crx
 

I dont think there is enough room, its hard enough to get a 2.2l in there. MAYBE if it was a 92+ civic ;)

Re:v-6 crx
 

too heavy an engine?
too little room to work with?
too much frab?
too little horse power?
too much Cash in you wallet?

actually..
not really sure..
but alli`ve seen is that NSX motor powered MR CRX...
really really not worth ----.

Re:v-6 crx
 

its been done, but wuth a nsx motor. I forget what company did it but it was just a straight line slut cause it couldnt turn for ----

Re:v-6 crx
 

that`s the one iws talking about...
but they put it in the back.

Re:v-6 crx
 

I saw that car at place when I was like 16 looking for a place to do my swap. I dont think it ever ran though.

Re:v-6 crx
 

I'll chime in with the "it's a stupid idea too" crowd

Here's one that's not too bad...northstar in a vw golf

and why is it green idiots that have these kind of ideas...the people that know how usually do something better...

Re:v-6 crx
 

sorry but that is a stupid ------- idea to put a v6 into a CRX.

some guy once told me to take an accord engine and put it into my crx...lol i told him to ---- off.

why?

hmm accord engine $1000-$2000
weight: too much
pain to put it in: too much

you can take a ------- HF motor and boost it and get it to 170whp and have less than half the weight.

Re:v-6 crx
 

You do now Bisi is running 10.02 on an accord f22a non vtec all motor in his crx. The accord motor is very de tuned. You can get f22a motors for 100-200 bucks from most wreckers.

Re:v-6 crx
 

i see many of you seem to come up with the notion of this be a "stupid ------- idea" as some of you put it. it was just a hypothetical question you assholes. i never said i would actually do it just wanted to know if it would work. i relized that if it could be done it would be costly but how i see it all the swaps that are common place now were once very expensive to pull off and some still are. just wanted to be different than the TYPICAL honda guy, and think up something kind of outrageous. thanx anyway for the replies

Re:v-6 crx
 

Me an ------- :o

Re:v-6 crx
 

As the pic above shows it is [i]possible.[/]

id like to know what the transmission and gearing of the car pictured above used.

also bisi just ran 10.18 at 138mph at Joilet BOTI
(new record)
in an F series based engine(no one is still sure on the displacement as of yet, its likely destroked)

the f series SOHC accord motors are very untapped, as Chris pointed out. if it wasnt for the motor mounts costing so much.. i know of a "few" people that would be on that bandwagon.

jd5901>>> check your PM box.

Re:v-6 crx
 

Anything is ------- possible. Have you ever see the guy tha has the supercharged V8 rwd crx?

you want to be different from the other honda guys, good luck. there is always someone out there iwth the same ----. you want to be different? put a 1990 d15b2 into a 2000 civic si and do a quad turbo on it with a dual stage intercooler setup. put 24's on there with mismatched tires. or better yet, take that d15b2 block and try to make a 10 second all motor 1.5L.....right


like i siad above anything is ------ possible it is just how much do you want to spend. im sure you can come up with a hell of a more economical means to create power and still be different

Re:v-6 crx
 

Usualy if you attpemt do do anything different, you are scoffed at. Sure it would be harder than a d16a6 or b18a1 swap into a street driven CRX.

Bisimoto was runing mid tens on the 1.5 liter SOHC

Re:v-6 crx
 

as with any forum, you get haters and people that are supporters.
you just have to pick out some truth from each and ultimately decide what you want to do.
this is homemadeturbo and the place where anything is possible.
personally i don't listen to anyone that says you have to pay $$ for stuff. it's all about flat rate and making things work.
good luck

Re:v-6 crx
 

^^^ Amen.

Re:v-6 crx
 

I am unfamiliar with these motors, are the stats really that high??? where did you find this information? i know of someone that had a beater legend with this motor in it, while it did "hussle" around town it did not feel like 178lb ft of torque.

Re:v-6 crx
 

It would prob be easier to go RWD and put a SBC in it. 8)

Re:v-6 crx
 

SBC's are overrated...

Re:v-6 crx
 

dam. this thread is still alive? ::)

take the AWD civic wagon, and put all of the components out of it into the crx. cheaper and no one else does it, if thats what you are looking for. which yousaid it was so...i throw the challenge out to you.

Re:v-6 crx
 

why is that? going 600 hp on a stock bottom end seems pretty bad ass to me

Re:v-6 crx
 

The 88-90 Legend motor is rated at 161 hp and 162 lb ft tq at the flywheel from the factory. http://www.inexpro.com/legend_temple/ Click technical scrolls.

Has some great torque and powerband though, my stock 89 Legend coupe 5 speed beater I bought for $200 runs low to mid 15's in a 3200 lb luxury car and smokes most of the rice around here lol.

Re:v-6 crx
 

stock 350's are gutless, also he wants a unique swap, everyone and there dog they ---- has a 350. :-\

Re:v-6 crx
 

aww that sounds a bit more like it. I had a friend whom had one, and beated around a lot, it was fun...

yes, that sounds exactly like my friends old car, good times. Nice car. ;) A ton of fun around town with the 5pseed.

Re:v-6 crx
 

last time i checked LT1's and LS1's werent gutless... that such a broad statement, it would have been better if you said 73-80's 350s are gutless

Re:v-6 crx
 

I'm going to put a BMW V12 in my crx

Re:v-6 crx
 

McLaren engine is going in to my mom`s Geo





















on top of it.

Re:v-6 crx
 

I live in Washington state and there is a guy selling a 1984 civic hatch widebody with a Legend V6 swap in this weeks Autotrader(6999 and below), so yeah... its been done. it actually looks pretty clean, total sleeper, no doubt.

Re:v-6 crx
 

haah :(

most popular engine EVER

most widely used engine EVER (cars/trucks/big trucks/race cars/race boats/boats/yachts/planes)

lol

Re:v-6 crx
 

Over used, maybe. Over rated? I dont think so... 8)
