i'm a noob to the whole turbo thing. i love this website and all the members on it. i enjoy the trashtalking comebacks and all the membership seems to argue their perspective with deep convictions.
this will be going on my 89 crx which has a B17 in it that i put in about 6 years ago. vtec is fun, but i want to spool! i have a long way to go and a lot to learn, which is why i would like to hang with some people who know more about tuning than i do, which is not a whole lot. i am more than willing to exchange fabrication for knowledge. i have lightened and balanced a lot of flywheels in the past. i make my own fuel rails and have started an intake manifold, among other projects. i still need a lot more parts, such as bov, injectors, ic, engine management(this is what i know the least about).
my t3eo4h compressor. i bored it out for smoother transition on a cnc.

does that say wet racing? where did you get that cross member?

 

Xs and more xs

 

WOW!!!. I see Pretty X's....

I like how you did that down pipe, very creative. :thumbsup:

 

i made the crossmember, it isn't done yet. i have to shorten my tie rods and add the hole for the front motor mount, but that will be done during fitting.

 

its says usage limit,

 

how much to make me one that is similar to it? I would just make one that looks like jeff's, but my welding skills aren't up there yet.

 

looks like your a noob at posting pics too...lol...j/k man...nice stuff though

 

what does jeff's look like? i could make you one, but rather than money i'd prefer parts. if no parts available, i'd make one for $150US plus shipping. i'm not sure what they sell for. if you lived a little closer to me i'd even be willing to help you with your welding and making your own.

 

jeff's is just a bar, looks to be 2" diameter, welded where the cross member was. I have only welded 2 times, the first time resulted in my muffler falling off on the way to school, this time I put the bracket in the wrong place but I did about 15 passes so it isn't coming off, I just worked with what I had. Another part of my problem is that my piece of crap welder pulses with the wire feed and isn't a constant stream so I get lots of sparks and just stray pieces of wire sitting in the weld.

here are your pictures, it took me a while to do this:
