im thinking about starting a project car. i want to build an 88-91 crx si into a car i can take to the track on weekends. i chose a honda because parts are easy to find and are cheap for the most part. but im not sure what engine swap to go with. all i know so far is that it has to be turbocharged. i would like to keep it street legal so i can drive it over to the track. anyone have any suggestions on a decent engine to use? im not worried about cost, as this will be an ongoing project for somthng to do on my spare time and not a quick attempt to create a cheap fast and furious rip off.

I own a 96 Integra gsr, the engine is turbocharged and everything is pretty much new. When i drive the car it is as if the engine is congested. The car sounds like a honda version of a WRX at times if you know what I mean. I just changed the spark plugs and cant figure it out. Can anyone suggest what i can do to get rid of this problem. I want the smooth honda sound that I hear from others.

the big problem here would be the mounts, finding a fuel pump to keep up with the motor, axels, and wiring so a good suggestion would be to find something a little newer unless your good at fabricating and know wat your doing odds are you don’t for even asking a question like this find an 88-91 civic hf or si save you alot of time and money

Could it have any other adverse effects on the vehicle in the long run?
