HomemadeTurbo - DIY Turbo Forum - my RWD CRX project

ok... for a while i've been rumbling a bit about this project for those that know me. i have finally started the ball rolling. now don't get too excited because i am no hurry to finish this project because i want to do it right and only do things once. i have a soft target of 2 years and a budget hopefully keeping cost under $6k. it will be boosted as well so it isn't going to be easy, but doing 100% of the work myself will keep costs down. hopefully. i also have a couple different ideas i want to implement on this project as well.

finally got my car towed to the shop since the engine was pulled out over the winter. sold the engine and everything i had under the hood and all the parts i was collecting to build the motor. i even sold the turbo setup... i was able to scrape together almost $6k from the sale of everything. no way i would have even got that for the complete car probably. i still have a couple small items to sell but i'm not really worried about selling them right now.

so here is where i am:

car is in the shop, i have the complete drivetrain together other than a few small details. i picked up an F20c complete with the whole rear end and everything but i've done some research and i've opted to go with a silvia S14 rear end since they are stronger than the s2k's AND i can almost get double what i paid for the s14 by selling the s2k rear end... just need to sell it first. anyway, i picked up the rear end off a local guy who deals in a lot of jdm nissan parts. he sold the spindles off this rear end because they were 5 bolt and i'd actually prefer 4 bolt... that way i won't have to buy new wheels, but i'd like to put wider wheels on eventually when $ allows.

why f20c? because it was a good deal and i really wanted to keep the power under the hood coming from a honda mill.

so far i've started stripping the engine bay... i think a great deal of work is going to be tearing the car down! i have a great deal of respect for anyone who does a complete rebuild. it is very time consuming. and i'm only getting started!

i will update this thread, but it is going to be a slow process.
