Looks clean. Nothing special as far as mods so far, but when that turbo gets installed...

 

yeah the outside is basically the way its goin to be..maybe jdm front end conversion and restore the body thats bout it....mainly motorwork maybe a mugen kit in the wayyyy future..plus i bought this about a week ago.

 

As long as I dont see/hear a fart can on there, its nice...Let us know when you drop the turbo in!

 

You should do a LS/Vtec Turbo on it... that would be sweet.

 

i like the rims. how much did you pick it up for?? a crx in that condition usually fetches a pretty high price on craigslist haha

 

you won't believe how much i picked it up for...$1,000 bucks with an extra motor on the side, which is the b18 motor with tranny and shiftlinkage, only thing missing is the ecu which i have already! and the rims i got it for 200bucks + my stock 88si rims..deal eh? got all these stuff off my homeboys.

feeels good to back into the real import scene

 

I dont know anything about those CRX's. I thik they look cool but i think the real treat would be the handling and agility if modded heavily. Im sure you can mod those things pretty nicely to make a nimble pocket rocket.

 

yea it already handles and feels like a pocket rocket...that little single cam does wonders and plus the fact that thing weighs bout 2100lb..its like a go kart..seriously ask anyone who owned a ef-8 they'll tell yah.

 

If i come across a CRX for sale i will test drive it, they look like they would be really fun to drive around town.

 

just swap in teh NSX motor

 

What the fuck!!!!!!

 

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice..but thats a lil outta my price range... any more pics of that crx or vid clips??!

 

@ the NSX swap...

 

Looks like a great starting point.

Keep us posted!

 

looks like it has been hit more times than Jerry Cooney. Still a great car. I have had 2 CRX Si's and loved them both.

 

those little things are quick... nice and clean... all u need is the motor... i personally also like the LS/VTEC as someone else mentioned... these things pull like madd in 1st and 2nd... if i can find one in the near future i would def get one to romp on ricers...

 

i had 3, all swapped and 1 was boosted, if your interested ill see if i can find pics

crx + swap + boost = :fast:

 

Ever think about dropping a K series in there too? I'm thinkin about it at least.

 

well it's only been hit once...thats when he rear ended a camaro..the rest of the body is almost dent free, ohyeah and the cracked rear right side taillight broke too..


yea swap is commin in the near future, i'll keep yah posted.

 

LS turbo = 12s all day

 

damn man you got a DEALLLLL on that! i see busted ass Crxs with stock rims and bad bodies going for over 2gs on craigslist haha. this makes me wanna get a CRX now haha

 

NO DOUBT..my goal is to push 225+whp w/ stock internals.

 

it can be done, the ls motor is great for holding boost

 

yupp..the hard part is deciding what turbo to run...thinkin bout a just little stock blacktop s15 bb t28 for that kick...but nothin too extreme? any input on that guys? i was even thinkin about those cheap ebay kits...but i just don't know..those are very tempting! comes with ic core, piping, manifold wastegate, bov...basically everything to bolt right on to the b18 block..but i'll see i might just piece it together myself...

 

do not buy a no name kit off of ebay, its always better to peice your own kit out. You do not want to nickel and dime on these parts: the turbo itself, wastegate, manifold, oil lines, and intercooler.

if i were you i would go with a t3 ball bearing turbo, it may be alittle more expensive, but if your running a dohc setup it will be much more effective, and you will have alot more power to play with.

ball bearing is the way to go, T28s are nice turbos but really dont have too much potential, but then again it all depends on how much boost you want to make, and how much power you are going to eventually want, because once you hit 225, after a few weeks you are probaly going to want more. might as well do it right the first time.

 

thanks for your input i think i might go with a bigger turbo, might as well do it right the first time..for the meantime this single cam is saving me whole buncha gas money! save up a little more and build up the b18 for turbo..YES!
