What engine will fit a 1986 Honda CRX?

The 1986 Honda CRX came with either a 1.3L or a 1.5L engine (depending on trim level). While these are the original and best-fitting options, many other engines *can* be fitted, but it requires significant modification and is a serious undertaking.

Swapping engines into a CRX is popular, but it's not a simple bolt-in job. It involves considerable fabrication, custom wiring, and potentially suspension and transmission modifications. Popular swap options include various Honda engines like the B-series (B16A, B18C), D-series, and even some K-series engines. However, each presents its own challenges and requires research into specific compatibility issues.

To answer your question accurately, I need more specifics:

* What are you hoping to achieve with the engine swap? (More power, reliability, etc.)

* What is your mechanical experience level? (This impacts the feasibility of different swaps.)

Without this information, I can only say that many Honda engines *can* be swapped in, but none are a direct, "bolt-in" replacement. Consult a CRX-specific forum or community for detailed information on specific engine swaps and the challenges involved.
