Put 1993 mr2 engine into Honda crx

[jdmracer]

hi i just want to know if it is possible to sawp at mr2 3s-gte engine into a honda crx the engine should fit its onlya 2.0 and crx do fit 2.0L engines but i just wanted to know if it will work and how if any one knows how to put it in

[seanmr2]

anything is possible, but don't expect this to be an easy project, or affordable.

have fun converting rwd to fwd configuration....if u have a crx...just swap in a b18c and save ur self alot of money and headaches....

[jdmracer]

i aready have a b16a1 in my crx i just what a nice very powerful toyota turbo engine so should i go with the 3S-GTE 1993 Celica engine in it. its the same engine but i think its a fwd engine.

[MRQtwinturbo]

i think u should look into boosting that b16a instead...sourcing a turbo kit for that motor would be easy....transplanting a 3SGTE into a honda...is gonna be costly...but like seanmr2 said...anything is possible with enough money....

[jdmracer]

thanx but the comp rate is high to boost it but what type of turbo can i boost it with like a rev hard stage 2c t3/t4 turbo kit

Toyota engines simply don't belong in any Honda.

compression on a honda can't be no more then 9:1??...i know a few local guys that r boosting b-series and are making some serious power with it....without sleeving the block and running forged pistons....of course u'll have to run moderate to low boost..

The compression ratio on a B16A1 is closer to 10.5:1 if not higher. You can definately boost it, but tuning is what'll save you from broken parts.

[jdmracer]

the Compression Ratio is 10.2 plus i want to run hight boost. But i don't want to run forged pistons and sleeving. you told me to run a b18c earlier and the Compression Ratio is 10.6:1. Honda engines have really high Compression Ratio's to run a good turbo
SO what do u think i should do??

[MRQtwinturbo]

if u want to run high boost...u'll have to have a built motor..top to bottom end....and an EMS to tune it.....ur interest in making a truly frankenstien car is gonna cost u more then u think....

look at the whole import drag scene....the fastest cars out there are boosted hondas with b series motors...proven to be fast....the 3SGTE motor is still so far behind...we've only had a handful that have run anything close to 10 sec etas......

[jdmracer]

well my honda crx with the b16a1 runs mid 13s right now and thats almost on a stock engine i just wanted to get a good engine with a good turbo on it and be able to run good boost on it

[jdmracer]

oh, can u tell me give me a list of things i need to get or do to get the Compression Ratio down so i can run high or good boost.
thank

hey jdm, forget the 3sgte engine, and buy yourself a 1.8l or 2.0l block from a teg or CRV and make yourself an LS vtec or a b20 frankenstein

what would be the point to doing this swap? it makes nos sense , it would still just be a honda, do you not like the MR2?
