I have a question.. how does an engine like that fit in a car whose purpose was a four cyl or 6 cyl engine?? =/ I dont know much about CRX's in general... But do have a passion for all cars :) I guess you can say I'm a noob! x]
@k0edby22 alot of custom work, fabrication, relocation of firewall, subframe, cutting, welding, measuring, etc. just get ur hands dirty on a car and start learning is the best way to go at it
@punchmaster123 YES BUT! only racing v8 engine's for the Indy cars, but not for the street or regular production cars,Honda(at one time) made v12 and v10 F1 racing engine, pure honda power.
@2TheeKidd3 its a year long or more custom build. not strictly a swap. its easier for me to have you read one of my many build threads, just search v8crx in google and youll find the build thread and all the steps and details
@skater4circa940 its not auto now, lt1 with a t5, 5 speed, updating the look of the car too with going back to factory, j's front lip, and probably 240sx style flares and some crazy offset wheels
Damn dude, about the only thing its missing is a semi quiet exhaust... then it would be the ultimate sleeper/trollmobile.. can you imagine the look on someones face after smoking their ass in that thing? Nice work man!
I notice the distributor is under the fornt of the firewall there did you make a cutout or something to access that or is it all under you dash there and how much fab was involved in the tranny tunnels to clear the T350
@dunn98632 yep it had a cutout, now im fi with an lt1 so i dont need a rear dist. look up v8crx on google and read up on one of my many threads...thats the best way 4 u to see what i did
@mikesandytoes a built auto will be quicker shifting and faster starting than a manual. im doing a manual swap for the driving aspect of it. never took it to the strip
Is it just me or does that V8 sound like it's running a little rough? almost like it has some rod knock or something? Mad props though man that idle is sick with those cams.
@rextuner03 no issues with it at all..it was running perfect actually. with that cam and exhaust setup it sounds weird in the video camera but its a strong engine
@crxV8 Oh ok yeah I can see that. My camera has crappy audio too, it sounds so much better in person I'm sure. I bet you get a lot of weird looks in that too lol, people are like huh another ricer.....HUH????? hahaha
@crxV8 I bet it will run strong! Hopefully you can get it to hook up I have seen some civette conversions and they just can't get the grip they need without doing some major suspension work. Make sure to take some vid I want to see that! lol
@crxV8 whoa buddy, I got nothing but respect for what you did with the car. I want to see a vid of this beast drifting I guess is what I should have posted....
@xJayFitz lol ok sry about that, i just hate the people that start bashing before they know any information on the person who built it or the car. but im putting an lt1 and 5 speed manual in over winter and come spring ill have more pics of drifting.
what the hell? i read your forum and ur only like 19 or 20, how'd u get the money and the know how to do this? i mean im 18 and im just starting out with cars, did u and your dad work on cars together when you were growing up? and damn do u deal drugs or something to get that kind of money?!?! lol
@chillincruisin lol no ive saved money up since i was 13 for a car. i worked on cars with my dad since i was young and bought my first car at 14. i do everything myself on a budget and do what i can with what i have.
@crxV8 damn well, im jealous of you, seems like u got a lot of land and im guessing a nice garage to work in, and serious skill to pull this off. Also, are the supra and RS also yours? And im pretty good with my hands, how many years of tinkering with a variety of cars and learning to weld would it take for me to be able to do something like this?
@chillincruisin the rs is mine, which i converted to a 22b sti painted it pearl white and all the other fun stuff (well 90%) and this winter im doing a turbo build on it. i pay for all the parts and cars i own...paychecks go to gas and cars. but yeah get some time in, learn the basics, welding, strength, bodywork etc. and give it a shot. and dont give up on a project. the supra my dad build it had a 350 built for boost. and had twin t3/t4s. he sold it
@crxV8 where can i take classes on welding? right now im thinkin of the community college i go to. Where'd u learn yours? And what kind of job do you have that pays for all this? I need to get a job, and im always looking for suggestions. And let your dad know that the supra was sexy, its probably the only mark3 ive seen that i liked. And hopefully hes getting into some other import/domestic hybrid build.
@chillincruisin ive held alot of jobs. fixed up cars and sold them etc. made money that way. i had plenty of jobs im in school right now at a community or tech college. but u can learn at a tech college. i learned on my own by practicing and getting pointers. then even took a class at the college
@crxV8 Im guessing this is carb'd so no need for all the ECU wiring and what not. But how did u wire up the speedo/tach/all the gauges to read out correctly?
@chillincruisin this setup is yes. but im putting an lt1 in right now thats f.i. its really simple actually. i had custom gauges and re wired the wires. went through the factory crx harness and removed what i ddnt need and ran my own for what i needed
@crxV8 also, would MIG welding work for engine mounts and exhaust piping? or is TIG a must. And if u have emissions there, what do they think of this?
bro....bolt a manual box to it and you will have something bearly road legal so fucking vicious it will leave a nice steaming pile of turd on anything.
do you have and interior vedios, form what you see getting in it look not too differend from stock crx insides. except like the radio placement and diff shifter. was expecting the center consol to be alot higher.
@dolleilei i have pictures of it on my forum threads...look up v8crx and look under the 3 or 4 that i have. also i am redoing the interior, but for the most part it keeps the stock look
dude u gotta let me know how u fabricate the front to fit the v8. i had in mind of doin the same thing since i got a v8 laying round in my yard and a crx shell....u beat me to it thou. NICE build btw
however, with your threads the groundwork is now laid out, i bet one person who reads every little detail and takes note on measurements and such could get it done in 6 months time or less now with the info you have.
Screw all the haters. I bet that thing is a total blast to drive.
