  • No shit. Passing both them cars must feel good.

  • nice driving

    

  • sweet ass driving man. im jealous passing a nsx and a viper must feel good

  • lol viper

  • i'm sure you get asked this a lot, but how much does it cost to swap in a K20a into a ef chassis ? everyone like this so everyone can see this.

  • May i please ask where this track was? Im from West Michigan and i know of no tracks around here

  • @chinaboi96 The track is Southaven, MI. The track is called gingerman raceway. The name of this event is actually called Western Michigan Honda Meet.

  • wish i had 8g's laying around for a swap

  • Holy 4 cylinders batman!

  • HAHA! That's a whole lot of cash in those cars you just smashed on. How much did it cost you to put this car together, if ya don't mind me askin?

  • Wow impressive. Nice driving and sick ride.

  • Sick with it k in a rex dope mashed on everyone

  • What do you think is faster, the Eg6 or this Crx??

    Congratulations for your great job.

  • Deuces!! That was great... Sweet driving and the car sounds awesome with the k20. i finally got myself a descent crx last month and im thinking about a k20 swap as well.

  • i bet the guy in the viper was kinda frustrated hahaha

  • remind me the ss works crx.great built charlie

  • Deuces!!! Lmao.

  • its like being in gran turismo

  • great vid! i love the sound of k20 swaps

  • Thanks for the ride,great stuff!

  • Thanks for the awesome video sir. she sounds angry, love it!

  • Corner exit speeds are awesome, great driving. Was that NSX forced induction? Seemed a little smokey for N/A and a Viper..... Sweet. Keep it up, looks like a lot of fun.

  • dogbox soon ?

  • That was insane! Definitely going to work my civic Gsr into something like that. Sick as hell.

  • i read about your crx in HondaTuining magazine and looked up this video.badass crx .are you planning on keeping that same car/and engine setup?you should contact the ss work's crx and race them

  • This guy really knows what he's doing, bought the honda tunning mag today and his story was the first i read. first saw this guy on america touge and looks like he just keeps on going. balancing his car with the lightest chassis and a monstrous engine combination there is no need for boost, keep it up top setup.

  • I read your article in Honda tuner so I had to check out this race, simply impressive good job

  • Must of felt nice to throw the deuces to the Lovefab Nsx lol..Out of curiosity are you running power steering?

  • @cartelbp I'm just giving the ol' courtesy wave back when i get a passing signal. I do not run PS. Might try it in the future.

  • didn't these guys also build the top setup eg6 that was featured in hot version american touge .

  • Check out MAY 2011 issue of Honda tuning magazine! Get the story and specs on this CRX.

  • @TopSetup just read my subscription of Honda Tuning and came across your car! Simply amazing for the weekend warrior and to only have one sponsor...I salute you. For a novice like myself any tips you can give to handle my EG the way you did the rex? I've gone to track days 6 times now and cant afford race lessons yet but i'm inspired!

  • wow. never underestimate a honda. lol.

  • DEUCES! lmao

    

  • DEUCES! lmao

  • At 5:33 the NSX slides tyring for the corner exit speed

    Ya I seen it in HT also

  • At 5:33 the NSX slides tyring for the corner exit speed

  • That was nuts! Says in honda tuning that NSX has 900hp

  • Congratulations on building such a weapon of a CRX! Just saw your feature in HondaTuning magazine! Gooday from Western Australia - We have fun racing CRXs here too. :)

  • This guy has mad drivin skills throwin the peace sign before grabbin the next gear ha ha.

  • DOPE car saw it in HONDA TUNING

    amazing..

  • @csumblazer Thanks sir!

  • @csumblazer i saw it in HT too, love the sexy way it runs

  • Much respect for a self wrench turner.big ups to your HT premier and big ups to an awesome run down !

  • read your honda tuning article and your car is SICK. I have an 04 RSX S with a k20z block and a k20a head and you are HUGE inspiration to get the k24block and shave some weight from the car. Keep up the good work and keep the rex on chuggin!

  • Can a K20A engine be swapped into a 99 Civic LX??

  • just read about your crx on HT, awesome video...impressive passing the 900 hp NSX

    and viper!

  • congrats on the Honda Tunning feature!

  • Just read in HT, good ish man

  • good stuff man no doubt keep up the good work and with as far a s you already made it you should have a problem 1:49- or low 1:50s

  • you're great Charles, I think the drivers that you've passed didn't see you signaling peace to them, you were going to fast :-) !

  • great video...i just read yr feature in HT and i had to watch this video....u got a fast rex n buy tha looks of this video n listening to how u drive u realy do know how to whip them corners........i know what i wanna do wit my rex now thanx.....keep up tha great work!!!!!

  • epic crx i love your car dude please more videos wit HD lol

  • :O...... amazing!

  • min 7:40 two fingers up "PEACE">

  • Love it man so far my Rex has a ZC DOHC gonna do a b18c5 swap and get into time attacks as well hope 2 c u at 1.. :)

  • this made me think of my b18 crx i used to have. it didnt haul as much ass as your set up. could you tell me what chassis work was done? my old crx had lots of rust :(.

    your crx is bad ass

  • beastley ass car!!!!!

  • Superb!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hey ! looking to put a shortshifter on my eg6, wich one are you using ? it looks at the right height !!

  • that k20a is a beast! nice work you viper killer you! lol

  • haha funny how u wave to everyone you pass :P. nice one mate a k20 rex is my dream n u just showed me one more reason why. :)

  • is that the lovefab nsx i see you passing? lol

    and charlie youre like 5th all the time...i know youre car rips but do you have a shorter fd in there or any trans work?

  • - and are you going to wmhm this year?

  • this is really excelent build... you once more prooved that you are the real master for honda tuning.

    can you tell me what are suspension mods on this car? what coilovers are u running and sway bars?

    looking forward for your answer and best regards from croatia

  • Good stuff Charlie!

  • this video is one more reason that my crx should be powered by a k20a

  • are you running the stock fuel tank or a cell and surge tank? im in the process of finishing up my crx and want to know if the stock tank is good enough for circuit.

    Thanks

  • @phoenixghon I'm running a stock OEM gas tank. With a Walbro 190 pump. I do get starvation at about 4 gallons less than full. I usually always run full. Depending on your engine power and corner speeds a stock tank is pretty good. I'm going to a fuel cell becuase it does save weight and since going with Hoosier tires my corner grip pulls more Gs. If you driving to and from the track OEM tank is best. If you trailer it then go fuel cell.

    Hope this helps.

  • @TopSetup great info. Thanks a lot. BTW its wicked to see your continuing to improve the car more and more.

    Do you have any videos from the super lap battle?

  • @TopSetup Charles your the man!!!!!!

  • Oh so sweet the sound. Nice driving too.

  • @a0987312245 If you are planning on doing a full build/tune setup, stick with the B18. It has a much wider power-band which focuses on top-end HP, as opposed to the K20's increased low/mid-RPM Torque. (Which increases wheel spin on built FWD cars.)

    If you are planning on a simple I/H/E build, then still get the B18 cause it's HELLA cheaper due to NO customization for the swap. ;)

    The ONLY way I would get a K, is if it's coupled to the Real-Time AWD tranny. K24 bottom + K20 head + AWD = BOOM!

  • Props on the CRX dude thing is wicked fast & am currently trying to finish mine so that i can race at the honda challenges in south & north carolina. Good stuff!!!!

  • Fantastic! Look like keeping those wheels straight is a work out. Keep it up!

  • honda the power of dream...like racing against nsx vipers .... with a 4cyl.

  • man makes me wanna road race. i might sell my gsr (after i rip the engine,tranny,ecu out) and get me a little EH hatchy. gsr hatch does some damage. honda has some serious power and potential. in my opinion the BEST road race car you can buy. who needs boost, we got vtec. shit we got honda.

  • Not only does this CRX rape on corners, but on strait aways as well.

  • this is my dream car!!!!!!so sick.......i lovek20 vtec

  • F*CKING NICE!!!! I love how you kept up with a viper on the straight and beat it! and this was only the beginning! this was 2 years ago. I wonder what you car is like now.

  • Do not raise a hand to a car pulling one by one!

  • Comment removed

  • holy shit!!! a f*cking v8 500hp viper smoked from the outside of the turn?that crx is a beast

  • @SlipshT prob. a V10, haha hondas kill on the track. thats prob. a NEAR STOCK K20

  • @MRDC2day ? You again? No offense, but are you sure you've EVER owned a honda? Even without reading the description(which clearly states that it's a fully built/tuned K20a2) just listening you can tell it's no where NEAR stock....... I mean, seriously?

    Either way, GO HONDA!!

  • @OneHandHigh i know more about hondas than ALOT of people dude i have owned alot of hondas. a EH, a # gen accord and A DC2... i have seen many k20 swapped CRX/Civic hatches with near stock engines teaing up everything. i dont read descriptions andmore too many bullshitters. a car with a decent exsaust set up could sound like that dude....its kinda hard to tell a different when you have vtec either way it screams. and being a video its a bit hard to tell what mods a car has dude.

  • charles,i'm a your fan to italy and eg6 owner !!! very compliments !

    ....the red b16 delsol in american touge???

    post video!!!!

  • @tinosca

    Nice EG6 enthusiast in Italy! That's awesome. Thanks for the comment. I'll try to get another video going.

  • Good luck. I wonder when the next American Touge is? I'd like to enter.

  • nice car, ive got to build one now, about how much money are you invested? over 10,000?

  • i am just looking at vids of k20s and b18s wondering what to put in to my civic ee9 all my mate at work has had a few civics and a teg type r and is saying to put the b18 in but i want the k20 and cant make my mind up now?, am i rite in thinking the k20 is the best way to go or not all i want is the faster one out of the 2???

  • i wish i could hear what the dude in the viper had to say. hes probably fucking pist to see a honda shit on him

    lol

  • Hi. What size tires and wheel are used? Thanks for the info. Love the look of your front fascia.

  • Nice<

  • this is one sick ass honda

  • definitely not getting on the brakes hard enough. slowly roll into the brakes so the weight transfers forward. makes turning easier with load on the front wheels too. amazing car. looks like not all honda owners are dyno queens afterall!

  • damn i fuckin love this shit! Honda power!

  • nice car

  • Doesn't seem like your using your brakes very hard. Attack them corners!

  • I just going to have to save my money, and trune my sportcar for time trails and Tuner class disovon of NASAPROING

  • deverdad eres un mojon guiando circuito

  • Im a mustang owner and after watching this i feel like dumping my piece of shit 5.0 into a lake and buying me a honda...

  • haha, bye bye Viper.

  • impressive !

  • god's car, when he want to spend some minutes of he's busy life, ripping vipers with a 80's honda only with a k20 powerplant..

    he says: "why 8 liters son?.. come here.. today i ll teach u something.. did u hear about power weight ratio? and what about vtec? "

  • That is sweet!

  • car is a fuckin animal, by far my favorite video of all time.

  • this car cant compete in honda challange huh

  • @Neticz

    I had original intentions on running in the HU (unlimited) Class. But that got dropped from the HC series. If I modify the cage and add a shit load of weight back into my car maybe H1? So time attacks it is... Which I think are more fun.

    I guess breaking my personal best times is a satisfaction I got from drag racing.

  • that was fuckin fast

  • ahhhh the power of HONDA! I LIKE!

  • @MrReefurcheefur

    AGREED!

  • whats your spring rate and brake setup?

    great car btw

  • @phoenixghon

    The front is at 10k and the rear is 6k. Still currently tuning the suspension setup. In this vid Im on GSR calipers all the way around. Hawk HP plus brembo slots in the front. stock rear. Since this video I've gone to Willwood 4 piston superlite calipers up front.

    Thanks.

  • i love this video :o)

  • Top set up, top racer, top Honda Crx,!!! You cam in with your crx and smoked every one...Best part, when you smoked the viper!!!

  • front diff needs work.

  • what suspension set up are you running

  • @Masterpenguin15

    APR a division of Apexi.

  • how much power is it putting down?

  • @2fast4u831

    225 HP on a Mustang dyno. Street tuned.

  • OMG

  • Beautiful 5*s on everything

  • very very very niceeee driviing maan! u have a nice car and u are a good driver! congrats!

  • eres el rey de la pista muy bueno

  • @draky27 Thanks sir.

  • niice bro i wanna see this build finishedd. im a big nissan fan, but if i were buying a honda and could swap any motor into a eg6 or crx, i would pay as much as i need to to have a car like this one haha

  • nice one, i started to miss my CRX already :)

  • Loving the peace outs!

  • Damn that CRX was quick, good job on the build. Thought you were gonna lose it for a second there at 2:45.

  • nsx @ 5.34 :P. fkin nice run mate good rex 5*s

  • awesome sound!!

  • 7:43 bye bye viper hahaaa

  • WOW

  • GOD DAMN! Holdin that shit down man. You and your car are serious, haha soo speachless.

  • at 4:35 there is a nother honda crx on the right side

  • Comment removed

  • this is gingermen raceway! i was here with my uncle and the midwest viper club. viper comp coupes ran with neon srt4s yea the vipers smoked em but there lap times were only a couple seconds slower

  • K20 and a crx are possibly the best combination ou there this one is insane, good video, post a walkaround

  • not only does Charlie tune cars well, he races them well too

  • damn Charlie...destroying everyone out there

  • peace dude!

  • the car itself is so light. k20 in it just really puts it out there. im amazed how your able to balance the car. seems like a very fun car to have daily driven and track use on the weekends.

  • 2:58

    Haha you waved

    "see ya"

  • topsetup is the only us tuning company i like

  • It almost gets up to F1 RPM ranges.

  • sweet ass vid keep up the good work nice run

  • nice setup man!! well done

  • k20s are pretty heavy compared to single cams

    did it affect your handling of the car?

  • @CrisAntonioMorelos

    Yes. Its similar in weight to the B16A which came factory in the JDM CRX Sir's.  The weight difference is easily balanced out with proper suspension tuning and brake upgrades.

  • @TopSetup yeah ive been wanting a k20a swap i have the money but my buddies and i debate about it all the time. i mean whats the perfect balance font/rear? i know rwd cars are 40/60 but a fwd im not sure

    and i think crx si's or sir are already 60/40 i wouldnt want to push it you know?

    and i heard you cant really lower the car because of the oil pan

    i just need some feedback

  • that a clean rex. I was wandering if you had race car version rack' n' pinion steering so you don't have to turn the wheel more than a 180o turn to go around corners. thanks

    honda for life

  • @ant1678

    I'm using a Honda HF rack.

    Honda for life:)

  • overtaking an nsx and a viper...wow,nice driving and ride, your tires overheated a little at the end...lol

    congrats

  • @Fernosej1

    The CRX is definitely getting revamped for the 2010 season. Tires are on the list of things to do:)

    Thanks.

  • my h23a1 engine blew in my 1992 honda prelude i was thinking of getting a k20 engine in it would it fit?

  • lol if it will fit in a crx... then it will def. fit in a prelude... the engine really isnt that big but like a h23 it slants backwards in the engine bay so u shouldnt have a problem

  • Best thing do to is call us up when you get all your parts. Rates vary depending on what you need done. We also have our own recommendations to make your swap complete.

    Thanks!

  • @TopSetup

    how did you guys clear the intake manifold for the hood??? and the pulley tensioner?

  • @joethao

    The motor in our CRX has full custom mounts and we positioned it lower than the bolt in Hasport kit. The hood is a JDM style CRX hood fitted for the US head lights. Which also helps with clearance.

  • love the sound!

  • thats one bad ass rex.

  • that is crx is hella clean yo.

  • I think a crx is going to be my next build

  • am thinking of ef9 with k20a from rsx will it b good ?

  • Yes.

  • even a stock k in an ef will have your hatch flying!

    i got a friend with a k in his 4 door teg shit flys like theres no tomorrow imagine in a hatch half its weight?

  • what were the condition of the track like? wet?

  • MMM that's ish is fantastic!!! What a dirty lil Bi**h

  • wat the hell does he touch after he shifts next to his leg? Must be OCD

  • Just giving my arm a rest, bro. 6spd gear box is work. For some CRX owners, OCD comes with it...

  • Rock on!

  • great videos.. Very inspiring!!!
