I helped a local guy fab up a kit for his b16 crx. The kit consist of:


b16
sc61
Precision fmic rated at 600 hp
2.5" mild steel chargpipe which will be powdercoated later
KA manifold
3" ss downpipe
38mm Turbosmart wastegate
HKS bov
450 DSM incjectos
intank fuel pump
Turboedit

The goal was to make the kit as low cost and reliable as possible. I know that sounds like the biggest oxymoron, but we did manage to come through pretty well. Here are the pics, enjoy (some pics are a bit blurry due to my tired hands after a very long day)

We finished the next day and nervously started her up. She started up on the first crank with no boostleak nor oil leak so we were pretty happy with it. We plan to get her tuned on Monday on 10psi, i'll keep you updated on the tune.

 

Man, Are you doing all that welding? If so, SEXY!!!!

Good job man!

 

what front X member are you using? everything looks sweet good job

 

I did all the fabbing and welding while he's doing all the installing and taking things off.
I'm fabbing up a traction bar to complete the set up as well. He's running a hacked up stock crossmemeber until I can find time to do the bar.

 

All I can say is:


I WANT A TIG!!!

 

very nice welds. is that a Tig welder that you did that with for the mani and charge's??

 

It has to be. Nothing else will weld that cleanly.

 

Hot damn! very impressed

Someday I will get a TIG....someday

 

how's the return line look? those KA's sit the turbo pretty low. I think on my next I wanna keep the turbo as high as possible. Sharp 90 oil return lines blow sometimes.

 

Looks great. The welds are so attractive
