Im a life long mopar guy myself, mostly had a-body cars cause thats what i could afford and still have my 70 duster I got in high school (built slant six with cam, decked head, 4bbl carb and 3 into 1 headers and too many other parts to list). Stripped and caged a 86 crx to run at my local short track and its the most fun ive had behind the wheel. Definitely recommend looking into it, only cost me about $2500 for finished car, fire suit, helmet, gloves and shoes and I was on track.
@@andypowell4702 looking into a civic del sol for a track car isn't a bad idea either, but ideally, a prelude is the way to go. Beefier engines, a better body, and more space to work with. A prelude from the late nineties, to be more specific.
@@brucewayne-ej3cx Back in high school I was one of those muscle car guys that did think all the imports were a bunch of crap (graduated high school 04 when fast and furious was at its peak). One day my friend let me take his B18 gsr swapped 97 EK hatch for a spin and I gained a ton of respect for that kind of stuff, love it and now have the fully caged and stripped CRX race car I run at Evergreen Speedway and even daily drive a 2000 civic but ill always love my old Mopars.
Nikoxion yup, it’s crazy to see how fact a truly balanced well built car can be Vs just a really fast over powered car. One reason Honda’s have always gotten my respect. It forces people to choose balance over power. And they do it so dam well
This sound brings back so many nostalgic memories of my all motor “Frankenstein” swap in my 97 Civic Hatch. I absolutely adored my time capsule, and miss her dearly.
@Ikechuk Ugwuadu Onyewuve heheh the iconic c20xe , 90'cars are the best they are lightweight and design is great today 99% fwd is a girl designed car XD
@Ikechuk Ugwuadu Onyewuve yeah c20let is turbo version with 16v cosworth head. Here We have the only c20xe on top 10 world fastest 4cyl drag racing , this prove this engine is incredible too
This is the almost perfect race car. You can use all of the power at full throttle, it sticks onto the road, it sounds great, it is small and has a short wheelbase for great handling, and it looks good going fast.
Man, props to the driver. He’s actually making all 200+ horsepower of this thing absolutely nutty. I wonder what he could do with this car around a circuit track.
This is one of those cars I’d only dream of being able to drive. But in reality it smashes so hard id be scared shitless to drive if I ever got to get in it and not drive it half as good 🤣
Wow 0:29 scared me lol. This car is awesome. I love the performance these guys get out of these built Hondas. Used to love watching them raw time better than dudes with z06 C7 vettes at autocross.
It is only 40HP over stock. In 2010 I build a S2000 engine making 300HP N/A It cost me $1500 in parts. The F20 engine is Awesome. I'm always considering this engine when I build a car.
If its front wheel drive im pretty sure thats an old school F series motor from the 90s that came out in the accord Euros which was basically a motor made for super touring. As it was 2.0l. Basically a 2.0 H series engine. And a very distant relative to the f series found in the s2k
Andrea Sanai i saw some pics. This swap is unusual but im sure it’s a good way to have a high power n/a engine without the need to modifiy it. I thought it was a f20b (fwd) not a f20c (s2000) thanks for your info!
They did exactly what I want to do, but I'll take the k series over the f series just for how much more common they are and availability of parts when inevitably needed
Not taking anything way from honda, but for years we have been running fords 2300ohc (throw away engine) at well over 9700 rpm and they keep wanting more. Indy lites also ran them and Esslinger engines are badass!
I’m going to go above the Honda fanboy comments and just state that no matter how sweet turbo spooling, BOV decompression sounds, or SC whines may sound... I do prefer the sound of a hard working, high revving N/A engine

it looks so calm and easy :D but fast

Its not going fast enough to get any body roll...
@@porkypigbaconeggs body roll is due to weight shifting not because of speed. You can get body roll by suddenly turning at 20kph.

I'm not usually one for imports, but no one can deny this is one bad ass build

As a former Honda Tech / Driver.. That has to be the biggest rush to Rev out
Bro, this CRX will kill me with that amount of RPM, Power and Quickness. It's too much for me 🤤
280hp is to much 4 u?
@@Austin-ue5kh considering this car weighs AT MOST 2100 pounds, yeah 280 HP is pretty quick lol
@@Austin-ue5kh 280hp in a crx is plently, the car weighs in the ballpark of 2000lbs stock. chassis is great too
@@Austin-ue5kh it's called power to weight ratio
Holy shit! VTEC engages from idle and up.
Vtec killer cams
That would literally defeat the purpose of vtec.
0:28 doesn't even lift. Balls or insanity.
A bit of both!!!
Mixed with a healthy dose of Fwd skills!
Brake when you see God.

Ufff that Crx is beautiful! Makes me love mine even more.👍
Still have mine bought new in 88. Time to get it back on the road.
The best car ever. That’s why I bought a Crx back in 2015
It is only 40HP over stock. In 2010 I build a S2000 engine making 300HP N/A It cost me $1500 in parts. The F20 engine is Awesome. I'm always considering this engine when I build a car.
I agree, although I think the k20 is better to be upgraded for various reasons ....
this is in wheel horsepower instead of crank horsepower. So 280 whp is around 300-350 hp.
is there a site with the build info for the crx?
Fuck me, that is one badass crx
Idk why but this car just gives me a feeling like it's late for a meeting
same here hahaha
that's the wet dream of CRX fans right there
Ballada CR-X mad Japanese! I had a stock with the engine 1.6(B16B). It was controlled just magically .Sumptuously for a time attack arrival👍
I love CRX!!
Came for the engine, stayed for the chassis
I am a BMW guy, but i have a special place in my heart for this generation of CRXs
Yeah, i was thinking the same... Something about the hood on this car.
Very amazing driver
It's just unreal how that thing sticking to the tarmac ... Just unbelievable
Beautiful sound !!
It's amazing the car was able to even move with the drivers huge balls weighing it down
.....pure.....
Holy crap this thing is smooth
It's honda and that say all the best engines all over the world

An s2000 f20c can be mounted transversally with no problem, with a proper gearbox
Andrea Sanai i never heard of that. Seems weird but interesting.
@@cebastienlarochelle8182 it can be mated also on a stock k20 gearbox

Music to my ears. My favorite right at 1:31 that Rrr Rrr Rrr 😌
That cars grip is insane!!
... this was most satisfying!🧐
I thought I could hear a second car through it, then confirmed at finish.
I just wanna hug this crx
Super clean simple and quick
This thing is fast for 280hp
Perfect power to weight ratio 😍
@@armandoreyna4635 Yeah😍👌
Mando R you beat me to it... you don’t have to have a 500hp+ car to be fast. It may help, but it’s not the be all end all.
This thing is just fast, not even for 280 bhp.
Its just fast in almost any standard.
@@armandoreyna4635 I mean yeah it literally weighs about half of an average family car and with nearly 300hp you bet it's gonna fly
Attached to the road like a magnet.
Best 4 cyl ever made.

I miss seeing these cars on the road
beautiful crx
It’s my dream combination 🤩
Its beautiful😍! And the driving 👌
i always thought fwds are garbage but this changed my mind
YATHAAAAAAAAAA! 🇯🇵Power ☠️🤙🔝
Sick car man!
Awesome video!
The crx should have been RWD and with an F20. I guy can dream
Good god man
What a video
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay my baby s heart is pushing it!
Link to build??? F20c goin sideways in a crx ? I gotta see that
Mark Manuel my guess is f20B1 block, chain kit and C head
The sequential tranny saves tons of room. Look up the quaife dimensions compared to stock and with the raised hood should fit nicely.
That honda roar man
This guy drives this like S2000 drivers should drive their S2000. lovely..

I guess imma go ahead and copy this build lol with some turbo action of course
