Power Project
Would someone share their experience in doing an H22A swap in a 2nd gen CRX. I'd like to consider this swap over a Type-R in my '89, but I can't find much info. I'm in California, so if anyone has done it here I would especially like to hear about it(considering all the CARB hoops to jump through for swaps & stuff). Thanks guys.

I'd say about a $7-8k budget planned for. I've got some custom exterior ideas of my own involved as well. I've got access to tools so that shouldn't be too big a deal. I just have to finish filling the budget tank and schedule the time.
