what's up hondaswap. My buddy just picked up an 89 crx si w/ a sohc vtec. he's a mustang guy who went smart! haha well his goal is to run as close to 12's in the 1320 as possible. so far he picked up: full skunk2 coilovers/stg.2 clutch and flywheel/15in rims/srp 9:1 comp pistons (75.25mm)
now the questions: his plans were to turbocharge the rex w/ just adding low-comp pistons and eagle rods as the only internal mods. is his 12 sec goal reasonable?
next: his teacher told him that the pistons he bought WILL NOT fit his cylinders due to the engine having 170k miles. saying that there will be too much blow-by.is this true? i kno,the wear and tear on the cylinder walls from all those miles but i have faith in good ol' honda engines so i don't think this will be a problem.can anyone tell me the oem cylinder diameter?
he also found a complete turbo kit on ebay for $900.i don't think that's a good idea.what do you guys think? i told him to just piece together a turbo kit himself. my buddy has a 14b(1st gen dsm) and 450cc injectors that he'll sell to me for 150.will this turbo make enough power to get this rex to the 12's?
thnx for all the help and suggestions
