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.

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.

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.
