YOu could always drop a d16a1 in it and then have the option of using d-series stuff and still use your same car. Plus the engine has a little more hp's and your car is lighter than any crx/civic with out it being stripped.

I like the D16A1 deal. My friend put pistons and rods in a EW3 motor in an older gutted CRX and it had a 55shot, but he only beat my bone shot D15B2 with a 55shot by one car..

Good luck and post pics if when you get it boosting.

First off, how many miles are on the engine, you might just want to consider getting something a little newer. What happens when you blow that ---- up...that would suck. And 240 cc injectors is NOT a step up at all, your car comes stock with a nice set of high flowing 240cc injectors An FMU is NOT mandatory if you use a VAFC but a new fuel pump and at least 400+ cc injectors. And whoever said that you dont have to upgrade injectors if you get a new fuel pump is wrong, its the other way around yo. If you do plan to use the car, good luck and I hope everything goes well!!!!!!!

I'm with getting something newer, I have never seen any kind of turbo manifold for sale that you could put on that engine, and you can pick up a complete d series swap for anywhere from 300-500 bucks, which is both worth the HP gain and is still probably less then what you'd have to pay for a prefab manifold (if you can even find one, unless you can weld yourself, in that case I'm a dumbass).

This guy stopped selling these kits a while ago, but still alot of info on the site. If you look around I think he has a complete parts list. If nothing else the pics should help.

Here is a site that is for the 3G Civics and 1G CRXs. There are people on this site that have turboed their cars so you should find a lot more about there than here.

For the Homemade turbo guys, I'm not saying you don't know what you're doing cause I know you do, but not many people have done anything to the 3G Civics.

Currently I have a D16a1 in an 86 Crx si with a HMT kit. For fuel management I am using an SDS EIC. In the near future I will be opting for an S-AFC and 450's.
