CRX help **now with PICS**

[Datto Sunny]

Hey guys I am new here I just piced up a CRX, the wife has loved them for years and I came across one so I brought it.

Its a Jap Spec import as there is Japanese writing all throught the interior the majority of the controls are labelled in Japanese.

I had a look in the engine bay and there isn't a build plate or a compliance plate so I am assuming that it came in as a 15 year old import.

Probably the most defining features is it has a tinted glass roof and a SI badge on the back.

Also its an auto so the mother in law can drive the car aswell. unfortunatly that was one requierment.

The car runs well and I am happy with it however I was hoping that some people on here might know a little more about the car.

what I want to know is what engine is in the car, what is the kw and torque output.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

If its the DOHC Si it would have the D16A8 engine(1590cc) with 130hp at 6800rpm, redlines at 7200rpm with the torque(lb.-ft@rpm) 106 at 5700.

Sounds good. Get some pics up when you can.

[Datto Sunny]

I will post up some pics tomorrow I took some this mornign but my work PC doesn't have the hardware to download them will do it tonight them post them up tomorrow.

130 hp is about 92 kw right ???is it 1.4hp in 1kw

Itook it for a little drive last night I am suprised how well it went for an automatic.

HI Datto Sunny,

Take a picture (or write down) the engine number and we can tell you how much power it makes from that. Also, what year model is it?

I will have some pics tomorrow

I am not 100% sure on the year model as there isn't a built plate in the engine bay on the fire wall unless on the CRX is located elsewhere ???

I am guessing its around a 88 / 89 model.

[Mr. Focus]

it will be an 88-89. you could even have the 'zc' engine. Australia got the d16a8 - which is a slightly decompressed ZC, making a little bit less power and different fuel maps - it's the Australian Govt. doing stupid things like that - ahh well.

Japan had the ZC's - which I think at some stage were also getting the australian compliance.

ZC's are generally better - because they make the 130hp whereas d16s make only about 124hp.

[Datto Sunny]

I had another look it is the DOHC engine. However I couldn't see any other markings to determine if it is a ZC or a D16a8

the other thing is on the plenum it has PGM-FI (programmed fuel injection.
I don't know if this helps determine what engine it is.

I will post some pics tomorrow.

[ECU-MAN]

hahaha

thought I would stick my nose in I would rather get info about the car here rather than there

will be looking at some basic stuff for know pod CAI, new exhaust see how it goes.

ECU_MAN yes it has climate control or as they call it AUTO AIRCON

left my pics at home on CD will hopefully have some up over the weekend.
