Hey everyone, just joined the community as I am a new CRX owner. I bought the car with a blown engine, its an 88 si. Looking to swap in a new engine. Thinking about putting back in a d16a6, since 1 i already have everything else in the car so it would be a longblock swap. and 2 a buddy has one with reasonable mileage for pretty cheap.
I was planning to go for something a little more powerful, but also plan to turbo (sorry to sound like a newb there but its the truth). I've got more realisitic goals of maybe 180 or so WHP, probably less, ie. not building up an engine, this car is just a DD for fun and save some gas VS. the jeep lol
I've always had newer cars with B series, and never a turbo. am I out of line with that HP goal? is the A6 gonna be a 'good' choice to turbo? I definately see more people going either z6 or y8 with turbo, those would be fine but I think it would be pretty cool to keep it old school with an engine from that same era as the car...whats some thoughts? nothings set in stone yet.
