anything you can think up, hasport has a mount kit for. lol rewire can handle the electrical side of things, so what ever you think is the best motor for your application

Depends how deep is your pocket.. throw in a V8 if thats what fancy's you ;)
On a serious note, any new Honda motor can practically go in there

pretty much all D series even SOHC variants can be fitted, B16A's can be done for around $4000+ depending on parts etc.

i have just completed a B18C7 from an integra in mine

then if you really have cash K20's go really nice in such a little car.

if you have any questions from owners who have already done such swaps into crx's

b16 what did that come out of?

nearly every honda civic/crx had it as an option from 1990 to 2002.

again as i said if you want specific options and parts required for you car join up at crx australia.
