Thnx autocrash..I was thinking the same thing...Kinda hard core if u ask me...IN FACT
HERES THE LOWDOWN FOR EVERYONE.....
I drove it 2 GALLONS LOW COOLANT...SO I put some in. I was bored tonight so I grabed my Key and said (Im going to humor myself today) Cranked the car and Boom Started right up...HOLY ****, I said. I was stoked so I drove it for the second time for 20 minutes and surprisingly id didnt overheat. Mabey it was that ATF that gave it a little extra life and compression. Who knows.
Even more surprisingly the car didnt smoke for the FIRST FIVE MINUTES...Holy **** I said again. I almost think that the engine wasnt blown to begin with.
I test drove it though and noticed some weird things. First the boost kicks on aroun 4.5rpms then magically takes off putting me in my seat . I only shifted at 7 because im scared...Its the series 5 engine. BUT in second , third and fourth gear it pings LOUD then jerks really hard like a hesitation around 5.5-on through...
Any comments? Please?

I got a better idea...How about keep your oil in and rev the **** out of it redlining ever gear hitting the limiter..Find a safe spot to do it...Then u will see just how buff that piece of **** is...Not as strong as mine I bet.
Now with more 1st Gen!

haha... yeah, trashing engines that you really don't care about (or ones that you are going to have to fix/replace anyway) is kinda cool... I still haven't decided how we are gonna kill the motor in my friends CRX, but rest assured, there will be video 
...and pics from the autopsy afterwards... (we have a plasma cutter ) ...I think we are prolly just gonna drain the coolant and run it for awhile (hard, of course) and then, if that doesn't kill it (maybe the huge redline clutch drops will... ) then we will drain the oil and go for a spin hehe... boom
