my v8 powered honda crx

2.5rallyrs · May 14th, 2010, 01:01 AM

So i warped the head of my b16 when my wastegate stuck closed and created too much boost and not enough fuel...Anyways i was planning on rebuilding the engine but i had a chevy 350 lying around and did some measurements and scrapped the b16 and im now installing a 350. In addition we also have a 87 supra that was being parted out so i stole a lot of stuff from that.

The first thing i did was cut the firewall and floor to make room for the engine and tranny.

Second I cut out all of the rear to make room for the supra rear end and independent susp.

Third i took off all the suspension components and steering for the crx

Fourth took the complete front support (crossmember and supsension) from the supra and for fitting purposes installed my coilovers fromt he crx. To make room for the upper a arms i have to cut out the crx "frame" in front.

Then so no one freaks, i am created a whole subrame assembly and boxing the front in to support the horse power. In addition, i am moving the 350 further back which will create better traction and beter weight transfer over the car. Suprisingly the width of the crx and the supras front suspension and supports and supras rear end are almost perfect.

so here are some pics of the build

before all the work with my b16 in it

supra crossmember

supra rear end

building the subframe

custom hood to clear the filter and eyelids, now molded in

subframe finished

17" gram lights 57 pros with kuhmo ecsta tires
