Alex in Houston

I've been building junkyard setups for a few years. Heres' what i'm currently running



I have a Prelude I bought recently to mess with. I'm going to add a t3 to it before next spring to see how long it'll go before it explodes

ewww its a 5.0...nice setup! whats it run?

"Did Beau ever get his b-16 turbo set up to boost over 2psi? If so, what was the problem?"

Beau is BLACKSI, he got it to boost higher...

Hey Alex, I like what I see, mind if I use some of your pics?

and if you dont mind, could you share what turbo's and fuel managment you use? I have a close friend who is a hardcore V8 guy, and we really dont know where to start for induction on his small block.. I personally dont know much about carburated turbo setups.. or if its even possibly... I see your setups are fuel injected ford v8's. Both are 302's correct?

(excuse my lack of domestic knowledge!)

Have at it, you wouldn't be the first and at least you asked be fore you did it!

The turbos well...........I have Dodge (garret) T-3 housings (.4 with Saab CHRA's (.42) I run 8 30# injectors controlled by the EECIV and 2 55# cold start injectors (from Audis) plumbed into the upper intake controlled by an adjustable Hobbs Switch. They are set to come on whenever I hit 3# of boost (pretty much instantly when you mash the Loud Pedal)
The factory computer is augmented by a twEECer which allows me to alter any and every parameter of the computer.

Plenty of blowthru carb stangs.
Check these when you get a chance

No biggie, I don't know much about impies. hell I wonder how you guys keep up with all the motor designations!

Just recently got one of those, very easy to way to control stuff as a function of boost. Fuel pump in my case.

Like the 302 pics BTW.

My setup:
91 CRX Si w/ b16
Junkyard T3 (.60/.4
Custom manifold.
Two Thunderbird intercoolers welded together with rewelded end tanks. (This thing required serious mods to fit behind the bumper, lol)
Fueled with a rising rate and timed with a BTM.

Converting to OBD1 right now to get rid of 2nd O2 problem, and then switching to Hondata.

No stickers in sight....

of course hmt guys dont just give up that easy. the only thing we changed from the old setup to the current one is the manifold i guess the modified drag manifold didnt have the right flow properties.

ps the drag manifold is for sale $25.00

Sitting in my rec room:
Starion intercooler
tdo5 14b turbo
metal gsx blow-off valve (dont know which gen)
hf manifold
big 2" autometer boost gauge silver face
also have dual gauge pod with autometer air fuel gauge and an empty hole...(anyone wants to trade my brand new boost gauge for one that'll fit my gauge pod let me know!!)
currently working on a valve cover for my car that came off the y8 head that i have for sale... i ground all the wording and the honda emblem *** well as all the casting marks, am debating cutting of the lip that holds the top timing belt cover as i dont use the top cover...the polishing started well till my ------- dremel tool took a ----...
Am in search off a V-AFC, so if you've got one to offer let me know the deal...!
Will post more as the install day grows closer!!
