I like how it looks like rice but has a 350 under the hood. Have you taken it to the track? I can't see you getting much traction but interested to see what it runs
While its not my style... its freakin cool. I bet it took a lot of work and it deffinetly will be a hell of a wake up call for some people on the road. Nice job.
How about putting the VTEC Variable Valve Timing into a small block or a Buick Nailhead? Hide it so it doesn't show to the untrained eye and use the pushrod OHV set up.
Wow this tranny ruined it for me. I dislike the lack of control an auto gives. With a stick, you control everything, less things to get fucked up. Plus autos sound stupid with exhaust. ;D The crackle of dropping the clutch is what makes an exhaust in my opinion.
You need stiffer suspension up front, maybe some new struts/shocks. It bounces too much. Love how you put a real american muscle engine in a ricer car though! One of the few import cars I approve of, good job!
@TheRznballa Well I'm an avid car enthusiast and I think you don't have any fucking CLUE how much planning/fabrication/building goes in to something like this. Trust me, I know, my crazy ass got a 400 cube Pontiac into a Datsun 120Y, just for the pure fucking fun. And he can always take the engine out of this Honda and put it into something else that he didn't build, but that would defeat the purpose.
@Mrcafe313 when you build an auto right and with manual valve body, its a faster shifting trans than a manual..i actually have an lt1 and t-5 in it now
@crxV8 yeah It is normally faster. I don't know much about transmissions, but I don't really trust automatic when it comes to something so powerful, not that it wont hold up. Obviously you've done an exceptional job on the entire car so I have faith in your work. haha
@wtl1964 well yeah...you need a 2 foot long floor shifter in the s-series...you cant speed shift with a mini baseball bat unless youre godlike on a shifter
@Mrcafe313 .. drag raced for many years and you will find that most fast race cars are automatic.. most of mine were autos with slap sticks when I was racing..
props to the builder for the concept real good idea but realisticly no matter how much work you have done and will do to it in the future your gunna have s many problems
@RockStarrRyan type r would run low 11s/10s n/a? and its actually very reliable and havent had any issues with it at all...if you build a car properly it wont be problems
@crxV8 true like i said fucking sweet idea im sure its hella fun to drive, and as u said as long as you build it right there wont be problems wich you probly have done so good on you man u got any new vids
sell seeing that its a 2200lb car with 350+hp and 350+torque with a 3.73 rear end and quick ratio trans yes. u sir have absolutely no idea as to what this car will run. have a great day and go hate on more videos, because you are soo much better than everyone else and are your cars
@crxV8 hey buddy great job have you tried running times. Also it sounds a bit sluggish right now not sure if its the exhaust or what. Love the chirping tires lol
did you have to do major reinforcing of the engine compartment, considering it was meant for light 4banger, not heavy v8?also, i'm guessing you had to beef up entire frame to deal with the force from crazy torque outta v8
@891trigfoot well seeing its rwd now, i built a custom subframe connecting an mk3 supra front crossmember, steering rack, brakes, and suspension assembly to the rear end of an mk3 supra (independent with full suspension, brakes etc also) so its very rigid and not fwd, and handles the power exceptionally well
@ihateu1979 because i want instant torque, no turbo lag, a motor i can get cheap and build cheap to have great hp and torque, because its not as long and fits well, i dont get what you are implying? a 350 will put out more power than a 2jz if you stick the same amount of money into them..displacement, no matter what always wins that battle
@100silverpizza no? its rwd, with an mk3 supra independent rear suspension setup, and crossmember from an mk3 supra, it handles great, you can kick the back end out, and the power to weight is crazy...what else can you ask for?
you shouldve just went b20vtec supercharged/turbo bro..im not here to criticize you, im just saying! but i give it to you cuz i know that was ALOT of work!
@vtecnegro85 but i dont want that...i had a boosted b16 in it...fwd is boring...plus the amount of torque from the v8, with slicks, can pick the front end up no problems...in addition being able to kick the back end out instantly is much better than a fwd that is "faster" i dont care about straight line speed i like to have fun in my cars around tracks
lol nice... Man i would be soo lucky if I could see this car race a vette or any sports car with a V8 and get its ass handed to it by this and then hear that V8 sound has it flew by em... That would be fuckin hilarious
@DjDirtySkillet Honda's are Japanese economy cars. If you really want a high performance japanese car, get a supra. If anything get a S2000 at the very least. That is the only Honda that is actually made to be a higher performance car and actually looks pretty decent
@DjDirtySkillet You must be smoking some bad blunts to think you can smoke any V8. Sure you put 10 grand into a $500 car to make it fast, but stressing that little economy engine like that will shorten its life a lot and you dont produce your power until over 5k rpm
@Vallejoonmamas The most I would do for a CRX is swap a K series into it but 2 go ahead a put an 8 into it that's like me buying a Shelby Mustang and taking out the 8 and putting in a Honda H22a1 into it...YOU JUST DON'T DO IT!!!!
@PEREZCHOOCH y? its like shelby, taking a european small bodied car and putting a v8 in it...same concept, its something different that nobody has done...u say y, i say y not.. dont respect a man for his time, work, and fabrication skills? rather bash because its not what you want to do to a honda...think outside the box outside honda motors...driving experience is amazing compared to a fwd
Bro, it's rear wheel drive now... And it's a CRX... If you understeer, it's because you're missing all of one arm and 3/4 of your other one, and physically can't turn the wheel fast enough.
I have owned a 91 CRX since new that has never seen a winter etc. The car you have modded. actually looks nice for all the work you've put into it. Some modded Rex's look hideous to me.
@crxV8 this is cool and all but its still only a 350 chevy ...... nothing that special ... now look up twin turbo 350 civic ... theres real power ... but i have to give you mad props for stepping a toy car up to the big boys with that v8 ;)
@hatchetknight thanks, but i still mod 4 cylinders daily.. nothing wrong with them at all, esp. subarus. anyways, i wasnt going for insane power, just daily driveable fun, reliable power that can still kick ass on tracks, and get sideways
if that runs anything higher that an 10.5, im not trying to be mean in all respect to the hardwork it took to do that, but that shit was a huge waste of time. and if you tell me yea its cause i cant hook up a noob could have told that was gonna happen. still i like that fact you took the time to fab all that shit up you should and done an ef sedan to put some wieght on that ass
@gaberson3819 i didnt build it to be a 1/4 mile queen. not my thing, it was build for a drivers car, a car to take to track days, get sideways and confuse other people...any1 can build a fast car
@crxV8 good luck getting side ways with that weight distrubution. but thats respectable im not a huge fan of crx's but if your willing to mod one that heavy then thats respect. and yea hahah confuse the hell out of eveyone what v8 is in that. im only a Toyota and Gm guy with V8's
@crxV8 so almost a 50 / 50 weight distribution i want to get a ford feista and do that put a huge v8 in it and have ppl talk shit then rape them in the trck lol
@LOST11B its a chevy transmission, and its pretty much rebuilding and fabricating a whole car, chassis, panels, subframe etc. i have multiple build threads on honda forums, just google v8crx
Straight engine swaps, if you're experienced are easy, can do an engine and tranny in one afternoon/evening probably. It's building the engine up that takes forever, and it is also the fear that when you turn it over for the first time that it fires up properly and survives its first run. This makes me miss my old Turbo SRDET AE86 :(
but now I'm attemping a 2.4 turbo swap into a 95 neon. :D
@zaio112 You didn't have to move the firewall to fit it? I didn't think there would be room in a CRX engine bay for anything mounted longitudinally...especially since the few I've seen, the stock engine just seemed to be crammed in there.
@Amras0407 the 2.4 swap is a direct bolt on, its mounting the intercooler and the turbo set-up itself that becomes a little bit of a task. lol not much room to work.
@sntslilhlpr6601 cheap, fuel injected, easy power, reliable, obd1 which is easy to modify the fuel system, bolts up to a t-5. because i dont have money for an ls1. i can go on and on as to why. plus this one is not stock
@crxV8 Cool man. I have a buddy that wants to drop an LS in his vette and you're right on about it not being cheap. You can find an inexpensive block but everything else is high dollar.
i dont understand the people that bash on a civic with a v8. to the people that actually work on their own car modifying and fabricating, this is inspirational and very unique. they are just jealous because they know they dont have the skill to diy or the money to pay someone else to do it.
Ok.. so, I have a 2000 ex coupe and a v8 350 silverado. Basically both are just sitting, I've been working on doing a wire tuck for the civic, however after seeing this... It makes me wonder, since neither are a daily driver. Do you think it could be done in a coupe, pretty much have everything in it striped down and motor/tran is out. Rear end on the silverado is gone and haven't replaced, starts right up and runs fine though. Just haven't put a new rear end in it. Now you have me thinking lol.
@MrTEAMNOOB well seeing that it hit 90mph in less than a 1/4mile driveway in that video, im pretty sure its fast lol. and money not much at all, mainly time and work. without the car, maybe 2 grand at most for metal, engine, trans, crossmembers rear end and steering assembly with brakes etc. from a supra.
This is pretty awesome man...albeit I wouldn't have gone with a FWD for a v8 conversion but this is pretty badass. Gonna do the whole v8 thing with a Toyota Starlet got a SBF 260 getting ready to go in it. Amazing car...post more videos of this thing would like to see the interior...got a thing for fabrication I would like to see the firewall especially.
Made it to page 20 lol...ill check back on it later. Seems like you went through hell on this build, not only from the car but from a few people on that thread? You sir, are a brave soul lol. Amazing story too going through school and building this car you ever try to get this thing in a mag? I think you could if you wanted regardless of anything this car is awesome and you did a really one of a kind build with this, FAV for sure.
@driftlogic thanks again..and i got it in a midwest magazine (online mag.) tunermaneuvermag. com
and yeah theres alot of people that dont think outside bolt ons and honda motors in honda cars that people have done plenty of times. o well its cars, personal preference isn't the same with people. and after the lt1 and t-5 swap im doing now ill try to get it in a magazine.
nice car man, looks like it woulda been fun putting it together, i did a old honda hatch back in highschool, cut it in half, and took 5inches outa it and welded it back together then turned it into a forklift lol, ive got a few pictures, never got to finish it though, its nice to see something diffrent, outa the norm, i dont think the hole point is for people to say o i know something that can beat it, theres always someone with something better, this looks like just a fun project, A++ Congrats
uneducated, i have been working on cars for 32 yrs buddy,..i want being rude, i even said nice car, alright,..
so dont call people uneducated you dont even know me,..and i have had 100s, of cars,..race cars, chevys , imports, etc,..have a nice day,..if you respond back with a rude , it will be blocked or deleted,..
@tonto20091 same goes for here. im tired of people telling me another car with beat it, that isnt the point of the car. i apologize, i have to defend what ive built because ive put so much time and effort into it. i thank you for complimenting the car, just the way i read response was almost of an uneducated 16 yr old with a civic that thinks its the worlds fastest car and knows only that car... once again i apologize seeing that isnt the case. i try to not be rude to people for i myself hateit
@tonto20091 umm? its 12:1 compression, heavy duty rods, 2:02 heads with dual valve springs, alliance race cam, heads decked .10, torker intake manifold, etc. this isnt a honda buddy, it has a flow master on it i dont give a shit about if a turbo honda can beat it. its not about straight line speed its rwd now and its much more fun to drive than a fwd honda. before you comment read my build threads see what ive done to the car and all the work i put into it, then comment.
Respond to this video... o and btw it has about 360 ft/lbs of torque, a honda motor could never touch that..ur comments are completely uneducated and completely assumed, theres no way to tell if the car has "internals" by that clip, which it does.
@crxV8 Oh :) GREAT then! :D Respect for Your work mate :) I am making a rally version out of a Lada 2107, so I know how it is to make a car DIY style :D Cheers!
Did a dog run out in front of you at 0:12? lol
I like how it looks like rice but has a 350 under the hood. Have you taken it to the track? I can't see you getting much traction but interested to see what it runs

Very nice car. I shudder to think of the amount of work that went into that thing.

@Amras0407
Straight engine swaps, if you're experienced are easy, can do an engine and tranny in one afternoon/evening probably. It's building the engine up that takes forever, and it is also the fear that when you turn it over for the first time that it fires up properly and survives its first run. This makes me miss my old Turbo SRDET AE86 :(
but now I'm attemping a 2.4 turbo swap into a 95 neon. :D
zaio112 7 months ago
@zaio112 You didn't have to move the firewall to fit it? I didn't think there would be room in a CRX engine bay for anything mounted longitudinally...especially since the few I've seen, the stock engine just seemed to be crammed in there.
Amras0407 7 months ago
@Amras0407 the 2.4 swap is a direct bolt on, its mounting the intercooler and the turbo set-up itself that becomes a little bit of a task. lol not much room to work.

Why an LT1? Hopefully you just had one laying around.
sntslilhlpr6601 8 months ago
@sntslilhlpr6601 cheap, fuel injected, easy power, reliable, obd1 which is easy to modify the fuel system, bolts up to a t-5. because i dont have money for an ls1. i can go on and on as to why. plus this one is not stock
crxV8 8 months ago
@crxV8 Cool man. I have a buddy that wants to drop an LS in his vette and you're right on about it not being cheap. You can find an inexpensive block but everything else is high dollar.
sntslilhlpr6601 8 months ago

i dont understand the people that bash on a civic with a v8. to the people that actually work on their own car modifying and fabricating, this is inspirational and very unique. they are just jealous because they know they dont have the skill to diy or the money to pay someone else to do it.

Ok.. so, I have a 2000 ex coupe and a v8 350 silverado. Basically both are just sitting, I've been working on doing a wire tuck for the civic, however after seeing this... It makes me wonder, since neither are a daily driver. Do you think it could be done in a coupe, pretty much have everything in it striped down and motor/tran is out. Rear end on the silverado is gone and haven't replaced, starts right up and runs fine though. Just haven't put a new rear end in it. Now you have me thinking lol.

@MrTEAMNOOB well seeing that it hit 90mph in less than a 1/4mile driveway in that video, im pretty sure its fast lol. and money not much at all, mainly time and work. without the car, maybe 2 grand at most for metal, engine, trans, crossmembers rear end and steering assembly with brakes etc. from a supra.

Gonna do the whole v8 thing with a Toyota Starlet got a SBF 260 getting ready to go in it.

Made it to page 20 lol...ill check back on it later. Seems like you went through hell on this build, not only from the car but from a few people on that thread? You sir, are a brave soul lol. Amazing story too going through school and building this car you ever try to get this thing in a mag? I think you could if you wanted regardless of anything this car is awesome and you did a really one of a kind build with this, FAV for sure.
driftlogic 10 months ago
@driftlogic thanks again..and i got it in a midwest magazine (online mag.) tunermaneuvermag. com
and yeah theres alot of people that dont think outside bolt ons and honda motors in honda cars that people have done plenty of times. o well its cars, personal preference isn't the same with people. and after the lt1 and t-5 swap im doing now ill try to get it in a magazine.
crxV8 10 months ago
nice car man, looks like it woulda been fun putting it together, i did a old honda hatch back in highschool, cut it in half, and took 5inches outa it and welded it back together then turned it into a forklift lol, ive got a few pictures, never got to finish it though, its nice to see something diffrent, outa the norm, i dont think the hole point is for people to say o i know something that can beat it, theres always someone with something better, this looks like just a fun project, A++ Congrats

nice car, need to put some flow masters make it sound nice,..
but i beta a turbo boost civic will get that car,..

but it is, nice,..
tonto20091 11 months ago
@tonto20091 umm? its 12:1 compression, heavy duty rods, 2:02 heads with dual valve springs, alliance race cam, heads decked .10, torker intake manifold, etc. this isnt a honda buddy, it has a flow master on it i dont give a shit about if a turbo honda can beat it. its not about straight line speed its rwd now and its much more fun to drive than a fwd honda. before you comment read my build threads see what ive done to the car and all the work i put into it, then comment.
crxV8 11 months ago
Respond to this video... o and btw it has about 360 ft/lbs of torque, a honda motor could never touch that..ur comments are completely uneducated and completely assumed, theres no way to tell if the car has "internals" by that clip, which it does.
