Hey, I was looking into Turbocharging my little DX but was wondering what kind of results I can expect and what things I should know about before starting my Turbo project.
Thanks

 

I would recommend swaping the Duel point fuel injection system to the Multi-point FI system from the HF/SI's Its alot better when working with on a forced inducted setup.. but you dont HAVE to do this. I had 2 guys on my website running dpfi dx turbo's on their little crx's and supposivly it made some pretty good power.

MP-FI is on its way, I have a ZC throttle body and Si intake mani, I just need some injectors.

Is there any bottom-end modifications I need to do such as connecting rods or bearings? And will I need a VAFC or Fuel Pressure Regulator?

Thanks

 

I would go with the VAFC hack w/ the 450cc injectors.

You dont "HAVE" to rebuild your bottom end, but you can, it will cost you alot.. expect over 1200 bucks in a cheap rebuild of the shortblock. including rods/pistons etc.
Just dont be boosting over 10psi and you should be just fine.

Damn, 10psi on a stock bottom end? I under estimated those little honda motors. I'll probally run stock DSM injectors and a DSM side mount intercooler.

Whats the "hack " stand for?

John @ the dropshop did this article...

10psi would be the maxium, tuned perfectly.. Start with 5-6psi and go from their.

Hack, meaning, your are not really doing what the controller was designed for.

Thanks a lot for all of the help.
