ADDED PICS...turbo crx, 14b @ 10psi. thanks HMT. it's done
Thanks HMT you guys kick ***, you put up with my stupid questions. it's finally done, i started buying parts in january and slowly pieced together my own junkyard set up. i feel great knowing that i didn't buy the stuff i could make however my welds look like ***.
this project is done now and it's time to start another one.
the next project is 98 civic coupe with a ls turbo. fully built ls 15psi on the street and 20+ on the track. this project will take a few years, but i can see it done already.
thanks guys i'll post pics of it all tomorrow.
oh and i need some new tires cause i can't get traction to save my life. pretty much spins through 2nd. this is my first time driving a turbo car (that didn't come with a factory turbo). i must say i'm hooked.
now i can be a ricer and blow off all the time

my name doesn't mean naturally aspirated, but maybe i should change it anyway.
i'll get pics tomorrow, the bumper fitment is off a little where it meets the fenders cause of the intercooler, but that will be fixed this weekend. i also need to hook my turbo timer up, but i'll wait till this weekend to do that also. i have no problem sitting in my car for a few mins before turning off the car.
dispocrx: no the motor is not built, it's a beat to hell dohc zc that will probably blow anyday now. however there is no reason to run less then 10 psi on a $500 motor. like i've said before, it's a d-motor not a gsr or k20. if you break it replace it.
my og plan was to start at 10 psi and keep it there for a few months, then turn up the boost 1psi a month till it blew up, during that time i was going to build a sohc or another zc to run more boost. now i have a new plan.
i'm gonna keep it at 10 psi till it blows or till i finish my 98 coupe project.
