I'm no honda guy but I am about to pick up a 91 crx si for $200. The body is in great shape (just got painted black). I'm going to michigan to pick it up, in about 2 weeks. The motor has a rod hanging out of the block. So it needs a new motor. How much money do you think it will cost me to put a new motor in it. Also is it very hard to come by the factory motor. THanks

 

well if the only thing that is wrong with it is the motor that is a good steal, but you have to ask yourself what kind of motor you want , just a factory motor would be a d16a6 if its an si and i believe a d15b2 if it is a dx ... if you want a better motor there are many b series motors just depends what you want

 

but you could pick that d16a6 for super cheap, less then 400 bucks if you look hard enough, a lot of times, cheaper then that. keep an eye out for people parting out their cars in the classifieds.

 

Sweet. Ya I just want to put the original motor in it. I don't care how fast it is. I just need a daily driver.

 

or you can hop on the bandwagon and put a b16 in it for right at 2000 and turn around and sell it for 3500. a b16 swap is not so difficult

 

I wanna keep everything under $1000. I've got plans for upgraded turbos on the Z soon

 

just get a zc. no problem. www.nippon-motors.com

 

I say don't even mod the car at all, because once you swap you'll have to mod the suspension too. you'll get hooked and you'll keep throwing parts in it when you really wanna work on that z32. the force is strong on hondas.

 

you need a stock motor? ill give you the complete setup out of my 88 crx si, new clutch, 80k on the motor. 450.

 

I will keep that in mind.
