Dutch B16B CRX

[ESR69]

Hello all,

My name is Erik. I'm 25 years old, I'm from The Netherlands and I've been a Honda fan as long as I know it. So as soon as I had the money, I bought a CRX ED9 1.6i 16v (D16Z5, stock 125hp). This was unfortunately not a good base to make some modifications on it, so I sold this one and bought a good ED9 (with 150.000km/±97.000m). Also with the Z5 engine.

I made some standard mods to this engine (intake, exhaustheader+exhaust) but I got the chance to buy a B16B with S80 tranny engine swap, so this is running in my CRX now (transforming my ED9 into an EDK9 )

But after a month, I found out that this engine is using a lot of oil (1:400km/1:250m) and now I'm letting the engine rebuild (see the list below).

I've talked enough for the moment, so here are some pictures and the specs so far:

Honda CRX EDK9

- 16x7 Lenso VDP with Toyo T1R (195/45/16)

- RVS Harnessbar
- Rear interior removed
- Carpet removed

And now the mods I'm putting in my engine while it's gonna be rebuild:
- Skunk2 pro serie valves (high compression)
- Skunk2 pro serie valvesprings
- Skunk2 titanium valve retainers
- Skunk2 Pro Series Cams gears Black
- Skunk2 Pro Series Cams pro 2+.

- Skunk2 VTEC Solonoid Cover
- Skunk2 Cam Seals
- Eagle crankshaft (B18C)
- Eagle pistonrods (B18C)
- Wiseco performance pistons (B18C)
- OEM Honda N1 crank pulley

This will turn my B16B into a B18B ^^
After all this is done, I'm getting a re-tune for my car so everything is running smooth!

As soon as I got some more pictures, I will post them here!

Greetz, Erik

Thnx all! This one has no rust and sleeps every night and in the winter indoors
So I'm a very proud owner! ^^

Yeah it is "just" the ED, but like i said no rust. EE's I've looked at had always rust so this was the best buy at that time.

And I thought that most of the weight difference was in the engine/gearbox?
Not sure what rolling chassis is heavier....
