There is still a few things i dont like. The whole setup sits a little to low for me, therefore the oil drain line seems like it may be pushing oil back throught my turbo. Ive been puching out black smoke lately and that may have something to do with it. I dont like the adapter plate I made either. I tried to do something a little different and maybe have a spot for an external wastegate for the future... But it still sits really low. I go through gaskets on the adapter plate like mad too.
I had to move the wastegate, make a bracket and extend it in order to clear the block on the car (which sucked ass)
But overall its a fun ass setup. Im only pushing 7psi right now but im hoping in the future I can up that to arouns 10 or 11. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask me. Just thought I would show everyone on HMT my setup! Show some love for the 1g!!!

i think it looks sick with the stock nose!

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

i love the first gens. nice job. and i would defenatly make a new adapter plate. somthing not so long. so you can fix your oil return problem at the same time.

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

that bent ass intercooler rocks the house :6 :y

Have you ever made a post without an exclamation point? !

Nice old school project :) Fix your oil drain before it causes more problems.

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

I had the same problem with a simular 1gen D motor build. The turbo too damn low. The pans on the 1gen are huge so make sure you check the oil level to make sure you are above. I rock a 84 with a turbo B18, I love the 1st gens!!!!!!!!!

What is that you used for charge piping? It looks like giant SS braided hose.

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

Also, watch out if you plan on raising the boost to 11psi and sticking with an fmu

Are those early crx's standard obd0 or something pre obd?

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

pre obd

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

sweet , any vids ???

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

looks good like the fmic

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

I got into a little fender bender and bent the intercooler... woops And videos should be up here shortly. Im waiting for the money to get a 1 piece carbon fiber hood so till then the nose is history. My charge piping is 2" SS Braided, teflon lined hose I got from some fireman depot online.

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

How much was that?

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

It ended up bending my intercooler and my rediator, break both headlights, and putting some bad scratches on my bumper. Hence why I did the new headlights, fixed the bumper, painted it black and got a half core radiator. Buts its all good.

Is there anyone out there who would be willing to make me a new adapter plate??
Its standard t3.

Anyone?

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

He meant how much for the hose ;)

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

Update:

Car painted all flat black
1 piece carbon fiber hood
Autopower 6 point rollcage
Completely gutted
HKS SSQV Bov
2.5 turbo back no cat and Apexi n1 muffler
Polyurethane bushings
Eibach rear lowering springs
Tokico 5 way adjustable struts
Ported and Polished intake maifold




The bad thing is the car is just sitting now, i have absolutlety no use for it, its not practical for me anymore and it might be time for it to go, so I'm considering parting it out or selling it, whichever comes first. So let me know if your interested at all. Thanks.

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

Damn bro it is a clean first gen. BTW how much you looking to get for it.

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

Why the 2.5 RS lights?

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

How is it not practical? Costs nothing to insure and it gets some damn good gas mileage!

Re: OG 85 Crx Turbo!
 

how much for turbo, and intake?


would they be good on my 1986 CRX si
