Nikoxion yup, it’s crazy to see how fact a truly balanced well built car can be Vs just a really fast over powered car. One reason Honda’s have always gotten my respect. It forces people to choose balance over power. And they do it so dam well
This sound brings back so many nostalgic memories of my all motor “Frankenstein” swap in my 97 Civic Hatch. I absolutely adored my time capsule, and miss her dearly.
@Ikechuk Ugwuadu Onyewuve heheh the iconic c20xe , 90'cars are the best they are lightweight and design is great today 99% fwd is a girl designed car XD
@Ikechuk Ugwuadu Onyewuve yeah c20let is turbo version with 16v cosworth head. Here We have the only c20xe on top 10 world fastest 4cyl drag racing , this prove this engine is incredible too
This is the almost perfect race car. You can use all of the power at full throttle, it sticks onto the road, it sounds great, it is small and has a short wheelbase for great handling, and it looks good going fast.
Man, props to the driver. He’s actually making all 200+ horsepower of this thing absolutely nutty. I wonder what he could do with this car around a circuit track.
This is one of those cars I’d only dream of being able to drive. But in reality it smashes so hard id be scared shitless to drive if I ever got to get in it and not drive it half as good 🤣
Wow 0:29 scared me lol. This car is awesome. I love the performance these guys get out of these built Hondas. Used to love watching them raw time better than dudes with z06 C7 vettes at autocross.
It is only 40HP over stock. In 2010 I build a S2000 engine making 300HP N/A It cost me $1500 in parts. The F20 engine is Awesome. I'm always considering this engine when I build a car.
If its front wheel drive im pretty sure thats an old school F series motor from the 90s that came out in the accord Euros which was basically a motor made for super touring. As it was 2.0l. Basically a 2.0 H series engine. And a very distant relative to the f series found in the s2k
Andrea Sanai i saw some pics. This swap is unusual but im sure it’s a good way to have a high power n/a engine without the need to modifiy it. I thought it was a f20b (fwd) not a f20c (s2000) thanks for your info!
They did exactly what I want to do, but I'll take the k series over the f series just for how much more common they are and availability of parts when inevitably needed
@@BobiEd779 Why is it "so much better platform"?It has more torque,ok,but the revving and the benchflow of an f20c cylinderhead is just unbeatable,also the block is way stronger than a k20!
And to do a k20 swap it's about 3 to 4k to do it right. I know I have a crx and I looked into it I was going to go k and saw how much it was going to be so I just went b sires.
@Sergio Aguirre i vtec is not really usefull on a race car like this one the rpm dont drop below 5000/6000rpm But on a road car k20/24 is better k20 at 500whp will not last long the are made for drag and need frequent rebuilt the aluminium rod the use will not last one race the are not made for constant deceleration
Not taking anything way from honda, but for years we have been running fords 2300ohc (throw away engine) at well over 9700 rpm and they keep wanting more. Indy lites also ran them and Esslinger engines are badass!
Anyone old enough to have played NFS: Porsche Unleashed/2000, does the arches look like the ones on the Pyrenees track? It is also Hillclimb in reverse direction, and in forward it is a downhill blast. Can anyone confirm this please?

Every one is praising car and F20, But look at the awesome Driving of the Driver.👍👍
Its a swiss dude, im happy to finally see one on ytb :) we only are 8 millions to live there
it looks so calm and easy :D but fast
Marek : Yeah, But Only Driver who has practiced Art of fast driving and knows his car, Can perform like that! He is so smooth.
Vernon Griffin : Yeah man
Sadly he flipped the car in a later race. RIP little CR-X
Damn... Like it’s glued to the road!
Tyler Gibson and also tire aren’t cheap
I had one, I'm living in Japan. That was the best car I ever had. I did some mountain drop with my CRX in the middle of 94 and 96. CRX is really incredible on the corners.
Its not going fast enough to get any body roll...
@@porkypigbaconeggs body roll is due to weight shifting not because of speed. You can get body roll by suddenly turning at 20kph.

I never noticed how much the F20 sounds like a motorcycle engine
Absolutely lovely

I mean, Honda did start out as a motorcycle company.
@@vallasjo8003 this has a F20c

With straight pipe, yes
as a mopar guy, i must say, i really want a built little honda now, i need this in my life :0

I'm not usually one for imports, but no one can deny this is one bad ass build
This is in Switzerland and every car there is an import since there is no domestic manufacturer.
Not everyone lives in the US you know.

Lol hondas not the only one theres plenty of of 4cyclinder and 6 motors that can rev over 7000 stock. and then higher! with just arp con rod bolts

Bro, this CRX will kill me with that amount of RPM, Power and Quickness. It's too much for me 🤤
280hp is to much 4 u?
@@Austin-ue5kh considering this car weighs AT MOST 2100 pounds, yeah 280 HP is pretty quick lol
@@Austin-ue5kh 280hp in a crx is plently, the car weighs in the ballpark of 2000lbs stock. chassis is great too
@@Austin-ue5kh it's called power to weight ratio
0:28 doesn't even lift. Balls or insanity.
A bit of both!!!
Mixed with a healthy dose of Fwd skills!
Brake when you see God.
Pucker factor 10 for sure
my butthole winked !

The best car ever. That’s why I bought a Crx back in 2015
This is the almost perfect race car. You can use all of the power at full throttle, it sticks onto the road, it sounds great, it is small and has a short wheelbase for great handling, and it looks good going fast.
Ufff that Crx is beautiful! Makes me love mine even more.👍
Still have mine bought new in 88. Time to get it back on the road.
That driver just keeps the throttle full open..
I love CRX!!
Man, props to the driver. He’s actually making all 200+ horsepower of this thing absolutely nutty. I wonder what he could do with this car around a circuit track.

I agree, although I think the k20 is better to be upgraded for various reasons ....
this is in wheel horsepower instead of crank horsepower. So 280 whp is around 300-350 hp.
I just wanna hug this crx
Beautiful sound !!
It’s my dream combination 🤩
Fuck me, that is one badass crx
Holy crap this thing is smooth
.....pure.....
Is this rear wheel drive? Amazing video and the driving skills are just top notch!
Amazing old school car
This is a bad ass machine
Idk why but this car just gives me a feeling like it's late for a meeting
same here hahaha
Sick car man!
VTEC kicked in ! 😍
That cars grip is insane!!
Awesome video!
It's amazing the car was able to even move with the drivers huge balls weighing it down
It's just unreal how that thing sticking to the tarmac ... Just unbelievable
... this was most satisfying!🧐
It's honda and that say all the best engines all over the world
Its beautiful😍! And the driving 👌
Good god man
What a video
Super clean simple and quick
Best 4 cyl ever made.
Came for the engine, stayed for the chassis

An s2000 f20c can be mounted transversally with no problem, with a proper gearbox
Andrea Sanai i never heard of that. Seems weird but interesting.
@@cebastienlarochelle8182 it can be mated also on a stock k20 gearbox

Andrea Sanai whats the benefits over a K20A swap?
Link to build??? F20c goin sideways in a crx ? I gotta see that
Mark Manuel my guess is f20B1 block, chain kit and C head
The sequential tranny saves tons of room. Look up the quaife dimensions compared to stock and with the raised hood should fit nicely.
beautiful crx
Attached to the road like a magnet.
YATHAAAAAAAAAA! 🇯🇵Power ☠️🤙🔝
They did exactly what I want to do, but I'll take the k series over the f series just for how much more common they are and availability of parts when inevitably needed

Yeah, i was thinking the same... Something about the hood on this car.
Music to my ears. My favorite right at 1:31 that Rrr Rrr Rrr 😌
I miss seeing these cars on the road
This car is legit🔥👍
I thought I could hear a second car through it, then confirmed at finish.
