I got a guy that wants me to turbocharge his 89 CRX with a B16A swap. I'm am new to honda products, but not new to turbo setups and fabrication. I'd like for someone to point me in the right direction to copy their layout of piping. But I'm primarily concerned with the computer controlling. I dont know how well the SAFC works with the b16a, but I'm pretty sure that its better then incoporating a FMU. Anything and everything will be appreciated.
Thanks

 

If you check the turbo projects you will find a lot of pictures of intercooler piping and how it's routed. I am sure if you keep searching the forums you will find more pictures also. The safc will defintely be better than a crappy FMU. There are two sticky posts in the engine management section about the afc so go ahead and check those out. Have fun boosting.

The piping is a bitch. Pretty much you just have to play with it and try to fit it once you have everything for it. It's gonna be custom to how your car is.

 

buy the greddy universal 50mm ic pipe kit for $150 from turboimports.com, they give you lots of pipes to play around with and they are all mandrell bent and look very good.you'll have extra pipes by the time your done..i did.

 

Or you can save some money and buy the mandrel bent piping kit from custom coach. There is a group buy in the classifieds going on right now.

 

Thanks for the responses guys. My major concerns are the manifold. Which one, thats available for the CRX with a B16A swap, will clear everything without needing to replace the fan with a slim line unit. And I've seen the SAFC posts, as well as pics of setups on CRX's. I dont know what the compression ratio is on a B16A? If anyone could fill me in on that one, in addition, I'll be using a MSD BTM for timing control. What is the max boost for a B16A? And does anyone here have a setup similar, if not the same as to what I'm planning on building?
Thanks guys...
