LS-T CRX Completed
*UPDATE 3/5/2007*
Car is on the road and running 10psi on the basemap provided by xenocron. runs pretty good but i need to get it tuned once i finish my exhaust, get the new intake manifold on, new turbo manifold (xspower is already falling apart after 2 weeks) and tune her up. probably by next month if im lucky. anyway scroll down for the new pics.
So my 94 sedan isnt boosted anymore and ive moved on the better things, retiring the 4dr for a daily driver. The new project is this 89 CRX HF I picked up.
So far here is what I got....
1992 B18A1 motor/tranny 120k
ACT 4 puck clutch/Exedy stage 1 pressure plate
AVID Mounts/linkage
Garrett .48 .60 T3
Starion FMIC
DSM 450cc black tops from garn, thanks dude!
obd0 PR4 with some turboedit ish
VDO Boost gauge
rubber oil lines
1g DSM BOV
Fidanza lightweight flywheel (was on the engine when i got it)
plan on getting...
walbro 255lph
2.5 dp/exhaust and just side exit right before the passenger rear tire
I bought an XSpower turbo manifold off someone but it hasnt come in the mail yet, hopefully this week. I know the turbo is a little on the small side but I will probably run 12psi and anyways I like full boost by 3k. My goal is to get somewhere around 230-250whp.
As for the clutch im pretty sure it will hold seeing that those XTD kits use a stock pressure plate with a 6 puck disk.
here are some pics of the status, just got done dropping the engine in.
*UPDATE 1/30/2007*
so i got the fuel pump, xeno chip kit, super exhaust builder kit from race solutions. i made my downpipe, intercooler piping, etc. got the intercooler mounted up all sexy.
here are the pics so far.
i now hate starion intercoolers.
hope this thing wont get fucked up with the heat! stealthmode oil restrictor
yummy downpipe, was a complete bitch to make using a stock crossmember and a b18, fits though!
got my bov mounted.
now all that is left is installing the fuel pump, running oil lines, and chip my ecu/throw those injectors in. cant wait!
3/5/2007
sheck it out sheck it out
mig welded oil return (still leaks, jb to the rescue!)
my mad jdm upper charge pipe keepin it real with a DSM bov
all dirtied up, they sand the ---- out of the roads around here.
dented up cause my ebrake sucks and my car rolled into the neighbors mailbox
ooooo aaaahhhhhh
xspower manifold is almost on its way out, the little braces cracked off today, time to weld it up and pray it lasts till i get a new manifold.
how im gonna do oil feeds from now on, nipple off the block to a T
just put the new jetta lip on, came out ok
So far my impressions of the LS turbo are that I love it. cant wait to throw on my b18b intake manifold (looks cool, plus it has no egr and no extra vacuum ports) and find a new manifold. i will probably tune it on 15psi and keep it as is for the summer. right now exhaust is just 2.5 turbo back no cat no res side exit. its pretty annoying. other then that the whip is fun as hell to drive!
