No that engine is trash honestly lol. My point is you should figure out what you really want the car to do, horsepower goals, that kind of thing before you choose a route.

You can build a 250whp Dseries engine for fairly cheap, and it will spank pretty much any swap you put into that car. But then you have to deal with the turbo stuff and all of the tuning and fabricating and whatever else goes with that. On one hand it's the easiest route for power, on the other hand it's not.

Dropping a Bseries engine into these cars is fairly easy. Depending on which one you go with you can be putting anything from 140-185hp into them. Kseries are considerably more expensive and considerably more work to put in.

I just put a bone stock D16 in my CRX. It was a lot of work, but I'm happy with how it came out.
