 The guys over at AutoBlog just published an article debating what they thought was the greatest 4-cylinder engine of all time.
Look at the comments section and unsurprisingly, you'll see a lot of love for the stuff that came out of Honda's engineering department. And although we can't argue with engines like the F20C, B16s, B18s, K20s and K24s, we're going to go ahead and add our beloved D16A6 to the conversation. Yes we're very well aware that the engine in our CR-X doesn't even have VTEC but with 200,000 miles on the clock and a bunch of neglect seen in our earlier posts, this little 1.6 workhorse still managed to pump out perfect compression #s (not to mention that it drives and feels great).

Man I love this build..My brother whom passed away January 3. He had a crx just like this and sold it. He used to say it was the worst mistake selling it as it was the best car he had ever owned. Love watching the build.

Hi Jason! Thanks for your interest and support. We still have a TON of work ahead of us. We'll make absolutely certain this project would make both you and your brother proud.

Hi. I have a 1990 Civic. It is such a pleasure to drive around town and on a flat road or freeway however, climbing hills is a problem. It does not exceed 40mph and I have to drive in the truck lane and even then I have diesel trucks frustrated at me because im in the way. What can i do tomincrease performance? Is there something I can do withe the current engine, if so what? Or should I swap it with another engine? Please help me. Thank you very much. Leave a Reply. |
