Considering how much heavier the B-series already is over the stock D15A3, and it's going into a sub-1800lb chassis, yes. It is.

An '87 is a third generation car. It has torsion bars in the front, not springs. You'd have to swap in heavier torsion bars from OPM motorsports.

A B-series engine barely fits into an EC, a H22A is going to take some cutting... getting axles that narrow is going to be hell.

An EC can do that with a B-series.

Because I don't currently own a Honda? Because the OG's don't like me? Because I'm a "big fat meanie-head?" Perhaps I've never been nominated? :dunno:

wow this is an old thread, BTW i got to see and talk to the owner of that crx.... he said it runs 14s-15s.... on the track... he doesnt have slicks for it and the thing does a burn out through the entire 1/4 mile....

as already stated go with a B or turbo D
