Re: my turbo rex
 

I like that mani, should really rip, get it done and get some vids up man!

Re: my turbo rex
 

is that a gsr cluster? how did you get your ele. vss working?

Re: my turbo rex
 

It looks like a freakin Miata cluster?

Looks like a nice setup you got going there. How do the welds on that mani look?

What radiator/cross member combo are you using? I'm just curious because I'm about ready to start hacking on my car to clear some room up for the turbo.

Re: my turbo rex
 

Yep, in Japaaaaan Honda owns Mazda who ownes Acura who uses Mitsubishi guages, but calls them Mazdaspeed guages, which is why it says Mazdaspeed on the tach....

Re: my turbo rex
 

thanks guys...i will definitly put more pictures up, the welds on it look pretty good. it looks great on the motor i think. as for the cluster, its off a miata...i found it at the local junkyard. i still have a bit of work left on that like the vss needs to to wired up. i will keep you guys posted on that as well. thanks again for your kind words

Re: my turbo rex
 

nice to see someone boostin a dohc vtec like me

Re: my turbo rex
 

im using the eg radiator, and im going to make traction bars for it so i dont have to worry so much about my down pipe clearance.

Re: my turbo rex
 

LOL Yeah, because no one does that! :1

Re: my turbo rex
 

um not on here, its almost all d series or ls

Re: my turbo rex
 

Its all about doing more for less. The money you spend on swapping alone can get you a faster turbo d. >:D

Re: my turbo rex
 

ummm,ummm, I think with the 10k+ users here, there will be some turbo'd ls/vtecs (me included).
so,ummm,there are ummm,turbo'd ls/vtaks here.
But I digress.
IhaveanLSD rocks that manny, albeit a reinforced, rewelded one.

Re: my turbo rex
 

you have a boosted honda, dont act like there is ANYTHING unique in what you are doing. I dont care if you got vtak or tock or toe, your ---- is old.

Re: my turbo rex
 

solid work nukka

Re: my turbo rex
 

good luck and try to brace the manifold beacuse it will sag and crack.

Re: my turbo rex
 

Looks great :y Is that a 510 parked next to your CRX?

Re: my turbo rex
 

already ahead of you...i just hope its strong enough.

Re: my turbo rex
 

yes it is...

Re: my turbo rex
 

Nice work on the brace.What are you doing with the 510?I love 510's :y

Re: my turbo rex
 

thanks again for looking...i will get more pics up asap. its just hard to get anything done because i work 6 days a week. so i wake up early to get whatever i can, done before i have to go to work. next up are the pipes.


to be continued...

Re: my turbo rex
 

im putting in a sr20...well not exactly yet cause i've been busy with my crx...

Re: my turbo rex
 

SR's make baby jesus cry. KA-T mofro!!

Re: my turbo rex
 

just to let you know, borg warner DOES NOT make a t3/t4. thats a GM-8, the same turbo i have on my car. i paid $120 shipped for mine with almost zero miles on it, how many hundreds and hundreds of dollars did you pay for yours? oh and i have that manifold too. no cracks but mine is braced too

Re: my turbo rex
 

well on the turbo id rather not think about how much i could have saved going a different route since i already paid for it. and i just hope that the brace i made will help keep my manifold in one piece.

Re: my turbo rex
 

new pictures for today...getting the piping mocked up. got the intercooler mounted. after the charged pipes i get to work on the exhaust pipes!!! hope you guys like the pictures.

Re: my turbo rex

Re: my turbo rex
 

Nice setup. I thought from all the pics it was a Black CRX, but is it a Charcoal/Gunmetal colour? I love it!

Re: my turbo rex
 

yea i painted it myself but it didnt come out that good so started sanding it again. i will have to paint it again when i get it running.
