My first CRX

Hi guys,

My name is Karl and I'm 32 year old Melbournian. When I finished year 12 back in 2000, I was only 17 but instead of partying all summer, I went to work so I can save up to buy an EF8 CRX. The dream was to VTEC it and be happy. Unfortunately 4 weeks into my job I was diagnosed with leukemia and underwent 2 1/2 years of chemo. Took me a while to recover but when I finally did, my cancer came back and I had a bone marrow transplant. Til today I'm still recovering from. Health is getting worse but my dream for that CRX is still well alive. I've had this dream for so long and am so passionate about it, that after 15 years it's still my dream car. I currently drive a 2010 Toyota Aurion Sportivo ZR6 (which I'm keeping) so this will be my project car. I'm going to see one this weekend which I will most likely buy.

A few questions please if you can help. Over the years, VTEC has evolved and so have engine builds. I would like your opinion on the best swap for my CRX

1) B18C2 Stock internals turbocharged
2) B18C2 forged internals, Skunk2 cams, rods, camshafts, intake manifold plus graders
3) B18C5/7
4) B20/B18c Franko

This build is 15 years in the making guys. Please help this poor mans dream come true!

I'd suggest keeping it NA. Go for the B18C7 OR a build a c2, depending on what your gut tells you

go turbo if you want to build a super monster...
