what would you guys do?

[91boostedGSR]

which one would you guys have. ether a 88 si crx with a ls swap in it or a 94 or 95 intgra ls. i was just wondering which one would you guys have. i would like it too be fast. i thought i could ask you guys what should i do keep the crx and drop my ls in it or get this integra shell and drop the ls in it lmk what you guys think i should do.

i dont like crx's so i would go with the integra

[sirtef9]

Integra would be nice with more room, more luxurious to a point..

What are your intentions later down the road? Is this going to be a full race or a daily driver? If you need space take the teg, if you need to be lite take the crx. How is the body and condition of other parts of both cars? What is it going to take to get both running? How much time and money are you willing to soak in to this?

[95GSRB18C]

well you said you wanted it to be fast so drop it in the crx.

its going too be my race car. i am dropping my ls complete swap into it and than i also have a complete turbo system for it a t3 t4 turbo. the body condition on both are good the crx i will have too get a front bumper and fenders and the integra i would just need too get a driver side fender and than both would need a paint job. too get both running just drop the motor in and they should run with no problem thats what i am hoping.i have all the time in the world for them. but the money part i do not have that much right now.i can give mabe 500-1000 into the project.

i have liked crx's for ever i am not sure. but also i have been building project cars all my life and they have been crx's. and so its kinda getting old and so i was think do something new and diffrent than crx.

[HondaPower]

Faster = CRX
Nicer = Integra

rex is my vote.

[Civic-8442-]

well think about it now!

CRX: you might have a complete SWAP right now for this BUT you have a cable tranny im guessing?

INTEGRA: much nicer,More Room, more VALUE, and you need a HYDRO tranny for this car! your cable tranny wont work unless you get the conversion/adapter.

rex is my vote.


thanks man ya i think i am going too stick with the rex.

ya i know ya i have both trannys so it works out for which ever car i get i have a tranny for and everything too swap it in. i would like it too be fast but also roomy and looking good.

CRX is more ideal as a "race car" in terms of weight. It does however require a lot more patience and getting the right parts if you want a clean looking set-up. There is just barely enough room to get a good manifold in there with a 3" downpipe, dual core radiator, etc. If you want to be using bigger turbos and such, well if you have the money, the CRX is the better choice. The Integra is great chassis as well. I would choose it for the fact that there is just more room under the hood. Easier to work with for sure.

Here are some pics of my turbo set-up with GSR motor.

Downpipe and wastgate about 1/2" from the radiator. All this had to be custom made.

It's all worth it in the end. CRX gets my vote.
