@phoenixghon I'm running a stock OEM gas tank. With a Walbro 190 pump. I do get starvation at about 4 gallons less than full. I usually always run full. Depending on your engine power and corner speeds a stock tank is pretty good. I'm going to a fuel cell becuase it does save weight and since going with Hoosier tires my corner grip pulls more Gs. If you driving to and from the track OEM tank is best. If you trailer it then go fuel cell. Hope this helps.
the car itself is so light. k20 in it just really puts it out there. im amazed how your able to balance the car. seems like a very fun car to have daily driven and track use on the weekends.
This guy really knows what he's doing, bought the honda tunning mag today and his story was the first i read. first saw this guy on america touge and looks like he just keeps on going. balancing his car with the lightest chassis and a monstrous engine combination there is no need for boost, keep it up top setup.
now that's what I come onto youtube for to see a video that you can watch and enjoy, I've just become the proud owner of a crx16i 16 and looking at an engine swap but don't have a clew about hondas? i've been an audi man with a slamed and played with quattro
read your honda tuning article and your car is SICK. I have an 04 RSX S with a k20z block and a k20a head and you are HUGE inspiration to get the k24block and shave some weight from the car. Keep up the good work and keep the rex on chuggin!
Congratulations on building such a weapon of a CRX! Just saw your feature in HondaTuning magazine! Gooday from Western Australia - We have fun racing CRXs here too. :)
@joethao The motor in our CRX has full custom mounts and we positioned it lower than the bolt in Hasport kit. The hood is a JDM style CRX hood fitted for the US head lights. Which also helps with clearance.
@phoenixghon The front is at 10k and the rear is 6k. Still currently tuning the suspension setup. In this vid Im on GSR calipers all the way around. Hawk HP plus brembo slots in the front. stock rear. Since this video I've gone to Willwood 4 piston superlite calipers up front. Thanks.
Props on the CRX dude thing is wicked fast & am currently trying to finish mine so that i can race at the honda challenges in south & north carolina. Good stuff!!!!
F*CKING NICE!!!! I love how you kept up with a viper on the straight and beat it! and this was only the beginning! this was 2 years ago. I wonder what you car is like now.
@CrisAntonioMorelos Yes. Its similar in weight to the B16A which came factory in the JDM CRX Sir's. The weight difference is easily balanced out with proper suspension tuning and brake upgrades.
@TopSetup just read my subscription of Honda Tuning and came across your car! Simply amazing for the weekend warrior and to only have one sponsor...I salute you. For a novice like myself any tips you can give to handle my EG the way you did the rex? I've gone to track days 6 times now and cant afford race lessons yet but i'm inspired!
Best thing do to is call us up when you get all your parts. Rates vary depending on what you need done. We also have our own recommendations to make your swap complete. Thanks!
this is really excelent build... you once more prooved that you are the real master for honda tuning. can you tell me what are suspension mods on this car? what coilovers are u running and sway bars? looking forward for your answer and best regards from croatia
@TopSetup great info. Thanks a lot. BTW its wicked to see your continuing to improve the car more and more. Do you have any videos from the super lap battle?
@Neticz I had original intentions on running in the HU (unlimited) Class. But that got dropped from the HC series. If I modify the cage and add a shit load of weight back into my car maybe H1? So time attacks it is... Which I think are more fun. I guess breaking my personal best times is a satisfaction I got from drag racing.
i am just looking at vids of k20s and b18s wondering what to put in to my civic ee9 all my mate at work has had a few civics and a teg type r and is saying to put the b18 in but i want the k20 and cant make my mind up now?, am i rite in thinking the k20 is the best way to go or not all i want is the faster one out of the 2???
lol if it will fit in a crx... then it will def. fit in a prelude... the engine really isnt that big but like a h23 it slants backwards in the engine bay so u shouldnt have a problem

Can a K20A engine be swapped into a 99 Civic LX??

This guy is the man! Good driver, the car is very well tuned, and the driver gives every guy he passes a friendly wave. Love it

Thanks! Plans are brake, suspension, and aero tuning next.

Excellent driving. Love the sound of the K20.
dude ur like the king of the road when u get behind he wheel of ur builds... only thing that comes to mind is good job!! keepitgoin
Damn that CRX was quick, good job on the build. Thought you were gonna lose it for a second there at 2:45.
CRX is one of my dream cars.
Very nice setup!
congrats on the Honda Tunning feature!
That was nuts! Says in honda tuning that NSX has 900hp
I read your article in Honda tuner so I had to check out this race, simply impressive good job

@chinaboi96 The track is Southaven, MI. The track is called gingerman raceway. The name of this event is actually called Western Michigan Honda Meet.
Top set up, top racer, top Honda Crx,!!! You cam in with your crx and smoked every one...Best part, when you smoked the viper!!!
so flat thrue the corners, awesome setup !
very well set up and good driving. I need to step my game up to try to keep up. Rob-lovefab
K20 and a crx are possibly the best combination ou there this one is insane, good video, post a walkaround
WOW! looks like a great car! good build guys! Wish I would've had the chance to see it in action.
The best part was when the driver passed the nsx up.. I loved every minute of it!
just read about your crx on HT, awesome video...impressive passing the 900 hp NSX
and viper!
awsome CRX,crazy engine,unbeliveble performance,,overtaking a NSX on track-RESPECT !!!
@phoenixghon
The front is at 10k and the rear is 6k. Still currently tuning the suspension setup. In this vid Im on GSR calipers all the way around. Hawk HP plus brembo slots in the front. stock rear. Since this video I've gone to Willwood 4 piston superlite calipers up front.
Thanks.
great vid! i love the sound of k20 swaps
sweet ass driving man. im jealous passing a nsx and a viper must feel good
Props on the CRX dude thing is wicked fast & am currently trying to finish mine so that i can race at the honda challenges in south & north carolina. Good stuff!!!!
nice setup man!! well done
F*CKING NICE!!!! I love how you kept up with a viper on the straight and beat it! and this was only the beginning! this was 2 years ago. I wonder what you car is like now.
@cartelbp I'm just giving the ol' courtesy wave back when i get a passing signal. I do not run PS. Might try it in the future.
@CrisAntonioMorelos
Yes. Its similar in weight to the B16A which came factory in the JDM CRX Sir's. The weight difference is easily balanced out with proper suspension tuning and brake upgrades.
this is great.. i am a ford fan.. honestly i can say honda got really gooood engines.. damn
The weight shown in this video was 1880Ibs plus a 170lbs driver. Thats 2050lbs total. Normal street driving with 91 octane, CRX gets 32-34 MPG.
not only does Charlie tune cars well, he races them well too
Very nice, K20's are awesome with a bit of work on them.
overtaking an nsx and a viper...wow,nice driving and ride, your tires overheated a little at the end...lol
congrats

looking forward for your answer and best regards from croatia
you're great Charles, I think the drivers that you've passed didn't see you signaling peace to them, you were going to fast :-) !
@TopSetup great info. Thanks a lot. BTW its wicked to see your continuing to improve the car more and more.
Do you have any videos from the super lap battle?
nice one, i started to miss my CRX already :)
Good stuff Charlie!
topsetup is the only us tuning company i like
Ya, your right EF8 would RHD... I'm just used to using JDM chassis codes.
hella sick driving!
Damn! Nice f-in rex bro!! Driving skills are kick ass!!!
That thing scoots! Well done.
Check out MAY 2011 issue of Honda tuning magazine! Get the story and specs on this CRX.
Nice Charlie!!!!
Sweet Video!
u should go do the american touge with this crx next
@Neticz
I had original intentions on running in the HU (unlimited) Class. But that got dropped from the HC series. If I modify the cage and add a shit load of weight back into my car maybe H1? So time attacks it is... Which I think are more fun.

Nice car!!! nice swap!!! you have pics the swap???
VERRY fast car and nice driving!!!
at 4:35 there is a nother honda crx on the right side
i am just looking at vids of k20s and b18s wondering what to put in to my civic ee9 all my mate at work has had a few civics and a teg type r and is saying to put the b18 in but i want the k20 and cant make my mind up now?, am i rite in thinking the k20 is the best way to go or not all i want is the faster one out of the 2???
absolutely flying! like the way you give the victory sign lol!
holy shit!!! a f*cking v8 500hp viper smoked from the outside of the turn?that crx is a beast
did they have the choise not to? the would only be slowing you down if not,
This is truely respectable
this is stoopid fast!...i love it
@TopSetup Charles your the man!!!!!!
wish i had 8g's laying around for a swap
@Fernosej1
The CRX is definitely getting revamped for the 2010 season. Tires are on the list of things to do:)
Thanks.
Beautiful 5*s on everything
Good luck. I wonder when the next American Touge is? I'd like to enter.
WOW!!!! makes me want to ditch my bseries and go with the k's! lol! awesome crx!
great videos.. Very inspiring!!!
was that an nsx he overtook at 6:09??
how much power is it putting down?
lol if it will fit in a crx... then it will def. fit in a prelude... the engine really isnt that big but like a h23 it slants backwards in the engine bay so u shouldnt have a problem
love the sound!
wat the hell does he touch after he shifts next to his leg? Must be OCD
honda the power of dream...like racing against nsx vipers .... with a 4cyl.
@topsetup What exhaust set up are you running
Best CRX ever !!
what suspension set up are you running
i like how he was waving when he pass by all those cars especially when he pass the Doge Viper
awesome ef8 !!!! good job
@Masterpenguin15
APR a division of Apexi.
nice driving.
Just giving my arm a rest, bro. 6spd gear box is work. For some CRX owners, OCD comes with it...
Ya, I was just waiving back at everybody that gave me the passing signal.
@MrReefurcheefur
AGREED!
Yes.
Simply amazing....
GOD DAMN! Holdin that shit down man. You and your car are serious, haha soo speachless.
