OG 85 Crx Turbo!
Just thought I would show some love for the first fuel injected Honda.
Here she is!
1985 Crx Si
2.5 Rs Headlights
Homemade turbo kit
t3 from an 89 saab
re-mounted wastegate
Braided stainless steel teflon lined intercooler piping
Home Depot Couplers
Stealthmode performance ooil feed and return lines
1g BOV
Nordskog Boost and Air/Fuel gauge
Ebay FMIC
Vortech 12:1 Fmu
Petco Check Valves
Dx Manifold
Adapter Plate
2.5 Turbo Back exhaust with apexi N1 Muffler
Dx Half Core Radiator
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 ***)
But overall its a fun *** 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!!!

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!!!!!!!!!
