I have a 1988 CRX HF and I'm planning on doing an engine swap. I had a CRX Si with a B16A1 all done up, and it was probably one of the fastest cars I had. But then I got pulled over, the car impounded, and ended up losing the car. But now I bought another one, and next spring, I plan to do an engine swap, and I'm not sure if i want to throw in another B16A or put in a K20A. I'm going with one or the other. I can get a B16A1 with an LSD tranny installed for about $2000. And the guy I know has a custom centrifugal supercharger with and aftercooler and it put out 274hp on the stock B16A1 engine when he dynoed it. So if I get that too, it would bump the price up to about $7000. But I always wanted to throw a K20A in a CRX but never had the chance to. Come next spring though, I might want to. I love the idea of having a 6-speed CRX. But if I do that, it's pretty much all NA tuning since there's no room under the hood for a turbo or supercharger system. Not to mention you need to buy a different hood just for the K20A conversion. The guy I know said he could get it and install it for about $7500. So basically, I would want to know what you would do in this situation. A B16A (5 speed) with 275HP or a K20A (6 speed) with 220hp? Which would you choose and why?

 

Of course, I would choose the K20A (6 speed) with 220hp!
