Hi andrew, i just sat and read the entire thread. Its nice to see another "panda" CRX owner staying with the D. I too have a 90 CRX si 
I see your debating boost or NOS, I think you should go boost and never look back. if you dont mind i can post a few links to pics and videos of my D16z6 at the track and what not. and if you have any questions or want to talk about boosting your rex with a DIY turbo set up like i did feel free to contact me.
here are a few pics and some vids. By the way the turbo used in most of these videos is sitting behind me and it is for sale, i ran a best time of 12.37@ 116 with it. it has no shaft play and has less then 10k miles on it. I recently upgraded to a different turbo and was going to keep the old one as a spare but if you want it and it will help get a fellow panda CRX owner into the 12s i would sell it to yah. any way pics and vids
this is with the old turbo the one i am selling
YouTube - Turbo D 16 verses GSR Integra
and this is with the new turbo
YouTube - Should have been my first 11 second pass
you can browse my you tube account and see more if you wish. Boost is what your D needs!! My car is full weight street car with stereo system, the head is bone stock the intake is bone stock EVERY thing is bone stock except the pistons and rods and i have a cometic head gasket and ARP head studs. any way I will be sure to follow your build.

i like following this build. not really feeling the valve cover though. looks like you just spilled a bunch of mustard and ketchup on it.
i think a nice black or gold would look great. props on the build though. i wish i had as much time as you do to put into cars.

Thanks a lot for sharing man! Awesome times, and a nice looking car! (Love those wheels. D2's?)
What size turbo is the one your selling? What is it?
I definitely plan on turboing "the CRX," but it'll probably be on the B, Cause right now the Z6 is sitting at about 11:1 compression(forged pistons, 75.5mm bore). But I have the Cometic headgasket to drop it down to 10:1 almost exactly. So. Idk what I'm gonna do. I just want to drive it at this point Not too worried about drag times right now.
BTW I laughed SO hard when you honked your horn!!! LMAO

the turbo is a big 16g I payed 700 for it and the o2 housing brand new about 7-8 months ago, i would sell it and the o2 housing for 300 plus shipping oh and i used DSM 450 cc injectors which you can get at any pick and pull or refurbished for like 100 bucks. let me know it would be perfect for the d if you lowered that compression a tad with that gasket. course i was running 20 psi with just under 9 -1 with 10-1 you will have to run less, closer to the the factory waste gate setting which is around 12 psi i would say to be safe. yeah i honked because they was bragging up how fast his GSR swap was and even with a 2.2 second head start the SOHC caught him pretty easy.Thanks a lot for sharing man!

yes and same set up cept with dsm 450 cc injectors, and i am tuned on hondata s300.
The only upgrades aside the injectors are the scat rods and srp pistons and cometic head gasket the rest is OEM honda.
yeah i know exactly what you mean, I have grown up in the drag racing scene and always been into RWD and muscle cars, its only been since last year i stopped building RWD toys and switched to FWD, i really wanted to see if i could make a reliable daily driver that got over 30 mpg and ran low 12s high 11s on the weekends. besides my brother and father still build RWD projects so any time i want to go real fast i just leave my car home and borrow one of theirs for the event.Whoa!

let me know andrew as of right now i dont have any one else lined up on buying it so your first in line. but now that people see its for sale i suspect its only a matter of time until i start getting bites on it.

Naa Terrance ONLY 'speeds' at the track. He drives like an absolute grandma otherwise....
QFT.
It takes me about 45 seconds to 1 minute to get to 55 mph
I love it when pple fly past me.. then later on I putt putt past them filling up at a gas station.. and in some cases I'll pass em 2 times at a gas station before I have to fill up
35+ mpg FTW
I'm actually 1000000000% agaisnt high speeds on the highway.. I don't even like goin 80mph sustained. But 110+ mph romps (at a track) in 11 seconds is OK by me
Though, I'm not agsint a lil spirited driving from time to time: Gotta keep the carbon from building on top of my pistons

Side note: Devin said he had some 14's: Do they have tires? If so.. I have a favor to ask...
