no use to turbo it unless its fuel injected.

 

[Lowdown89]

this car has fuel injection....

 

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

positive? hiv positive? just make sure that you know weither it is or isnt fuel injected

 

[Lowdown89]

um, like i said in the last post i made..... the car is fuel injected. i don't understand why that it seems hard to believe that a 87 si is fuel injected???

 

[TurboMirage]

i believe you

the site i posted above is a 1G haven. check it out


1989-2002 1.5 sohc mirage owners are able to use 84-87 crx si exhaust manifolds as turbo manifolds

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

 

[Lowdown89]

if i was to do this, what kinda ECU could i run, honestley i want the least wiring as possible, and as far as tuning goes i want to hopefully run something simple

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
