Hi all this is my first post here, so be gentle if its a dumb question.

Has anyone heard of an engine conversion from a prelude vtec (2.2 93'ish) into a crx the earlier one (sort of 91'ish. I know this is a bit vague but any info on this would be of great help.

I am not sure if it has ever been done or wether its even possible but i have been asked to do this conversion and need some info.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.

I can't see there being a lot of point to that, to be honest. So no doubt some US based tuners will have done it few times. laugh

To be honest you'd probably be better spending the money on the chassis/ B16 than going for a whole engine swap. The B16 can fairly easily be made up to decent BHP.

It's been done loads of times, you should be able to get various engine mounts and other parts from the US.

It's generally considered a better idea to go for the 1.8L ITR engine though, unless you are creating a drag racer.
