HKS made a turbo kit for it



which I had


but sold



swap a D16A1 in it, and get an 88+ SOHC turbo kit...you've just got to portmatch the manifold

you stock harness with a stock 86-87 (Integra) PG7 and some check valves or an FMU will work...pre OBD ECU's are easy to fool


I'm using a standalone, but that requires some wiring


The thing with the D16A1 swap is you've got to change the motor, tranny, linkage, axles, and front hubs...the axles don't fit in the CRX hubs
-but you come out with bigger brakes up front
