i have a rebuilt z31 turbo engine from a 1984 300zx. i also have a 1988 crx. i want to put the engine in the crx. tell me what you think. should i do it or not.

 

how much do you have to spend?

 

Yes. Do it. Just so you can say you tried. But if you could work it out, I would give you money.

 

i dont have really any money at all. the motor is my friends that i am rebuilding and the crx right now is a fram with everything to put it together except motor and trans, hence the 300 zx motor. is was just an idea i had but you all seem to like it so i might go for it. if nothing else it would be fun to try right? anyone have any sheetmetal they want to donate? HA HA HA........

 

I had a buddy that tried to put a V12 Norstar engine into a jetta. He failed but only bc of the guy he took it to, to get the engine bay extended. Otherwise I really think he coulda pulled it off.

 

Hey, go for it. That was be sick if it worked. What do you have to lose? Go for it.

 

IF you're good with metalworking - do it....otherwise...try

 

i need to get some money first and then i will go for it but my first priority is to put a gsr motor into my 93 civic and get a job but i will keep you posted on how it is going. thanks again for your input..............

 

Dude... That's like my ultimate goal someday is to build like a RWD Civic or CRX or something! I definately say go for it!!!! I just need to find a rolling chassis.... Hmmm. That turbo engine is gonna rock in that thing! wow.. The main reason I want to do it is for the handling and because it would look pretty sick if some guy was challenging you thinking, ahh it's just a little ricer.... Until you light up the back tires!!! GO FOR IT!!!!

 

I've often wondered myself how it would be to get the motor out of a S2000 and convert the civ to a RWD w/ it? If I ever it the lottery, I'll try it
