MY <-- THAT'S RIGHT, MY Turbocharged CRX

[MugenCRX]

So yesterday, my Intercooler Piping arrived, THANKS EREBUNICRX AND COREYR!!!!

And that was all that I needed!! Sorry there aren't better, more in depth pictures, but we were on a time limit, and the excitement kinda kept my hands on the car and off of the camera.

Here we go!

Draining oil and coolant.

Dropping oil pan.

A little test fit action.

Bolted on with downpipe and wastegate.

A little bit closer now.

ErebuniCRX and CoreyR custom charge pipe.

Getting couplers put on (Couplers are a PAIN IN THE ASS!!!) We didn't have enough, so some are rigged!

A little bit closer again.

My best friend Mike who sold me this kit, and helped me install it.

Me putting in the Fluidyne, I look like I have a Mullet! LOL!

Fluidyne succesfully installed.

Does the hood close over the massive HKS Wastegate? YEP!

Closer view of the goodies inside.

Finished. Time to test drive!!

It went smooth, blew one coupler off on the test drive. It's pushing 10psi for now. Stock LS. I need to get my exhaust put together today, cut my bumper to fit and come up with a much more secure mount system for the intercooler. Zip Ties just don't cut it for me!

Comments, flames, anything, just EVERYONE, give me some feedback!

It is an SSAuto Mani. It's only temporary, I need to get a differnt manifold with the WG flange on the other side. There is a lot of clearance issuse betweent the Radiator and the wastegate. And I didn't really have a choice on the manifold because I bought it from a friend. And as of right now, I am not using any fuel management. I have E-Manage for it but it isn't installed yet.

nice setup bro! turboin my crx too...only its a d-series have fun with her

 

[CiViC_SOHC]

umm...definetly get a new manifold AND some fuel management! Don't stomp on it to much until you get fuel managment. E-mange is "good" for a little bit but I wouldn't rely on that, then again im not that balsy lol.

 

[erebunicrx]

lookin good

 

[ripperbone]

when its done your ass needs to take a road trip to loveland.

[HatchSpeeD]

No management? Holy shit! Stock injectors? Increase fuel pressure? Becareful, or all that time/money spent is going down the tube..

Thank you! The LS is actually only temporary, because I get a strong feeling that this motor wont last very long. BUT, I actually just bought myself a full B16a bottom end like a week ago, that I am going to do the rings and water and oil pump on. I already have a B16 head that I was going to use on my B18c5 block that needs to be sleeved, so I am going to do the valve guide seals and the valve springs in the head. Then I'll get some ARP studs and a Cometic 3mm head gasket for her and put that all in with the snail. Hopefully that will run reliably enough to be a daily driver on like 7-10lbs. And that will keep a smile on my face untill I can get the ITR block sleeved and built.

I will see what I can do.


I got the Intercooler mounted up on Friday, it's the HomeDepot intercooler mounting bracket system of doom! I will get pictures when it stops snowing.

I have a few questions for anyone reading this though. I will probably post these under the F.I. forum too, but double the views means double the answers.

Ok, right now, I have NO FUEL MANAGEMENT hooked up on the car. I have: Greddy E-Manage, RC 450cc saturated injectors, and a B&M FPR. How should I go about tuning all of this once it's installed? Do I tune the E-Manage through a Laptop, or do I need a Profec or a Super AFC or something? Are the Injectors going to be overkill for 10lbs? And do I need a Fuel Pump?(Stock HF Fuel Pump right now.)

Looks good man. How much did you pick up that Fluidyne for? I'm on the market for one right now.

Thanks man! It' coming along.

Ya, it's a 92-95 Civic Fluidyne. I got it for $289+shipping off of Ebay.

 

[reckedracing]

i'm not sure i understand when you say you have NO managment....
you don't even have an FMU on it?
how are you driving it?

i would use a walbro 255, and the 450cc's with uberdata or turbo edit if you're still obd0

i believe the FPR works off vacuum, so its not gonna help you now
