Re: Rear mount turbo CRX
Its true that they built a gay *** ricer, but thats because they dont know ---- about hondas thats why they always have a gest on the show when they bring hondas into the picture. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B2mwgsvikY how much horse power did they say it made
Its not what i would do but then again when I tell my freinds about using a hf manifold I get the same kinda responses. When people dont know about something dosent mean that have to talk ---- about it. He trying something that few people have ever tryed let alone done.

Chris, try two small lawn mower batteries for $25/per in parallel - EASIER packaging, practically the same CCA ratings and abilities. Consider mounting the turbo above the transmission and replace the rubber hoses with some rerouted hard pipe, make some heat sheilding. If you're snappy about it you could even get away with a traditional oil drain.
Try to spin a turbo with a blowtorch, then. It won't happen. Turbos are driven by FLOW first and PRESSURE (slightly modified by loss of temp) second. Your flow is dictated by the engine displacement and camshaft, everything else is a cosmetic detail just like sizing turbine AR to suit. 
STS kits work, but their fuel systems were scary when they first came out, and I hope they stopped making the MES claims they used to. Jeff "The Milkman" Creech of PINKS fame has tuned a couple upgraded STS kits with T67 or larger on them, they make decent power but they have problems spooling less than 15 psi due to system dynamics - so much for the Hot-Air-Heat guy's theories.

http://www.khturbo.net for another resource on home built RMT setups. 10psi on a Cavalier V6 hit mid 12s. Also has the p/n for the Shurflo pump for the oil issue. Hope that is helpful

yea, I was just kidding about the donation. :P
So, I'm a little behind...whats a mercedes bearing? I know journal and ballbearing...

ahah, your reading is as poor as mine. I never talked about a mercedes bearing. Never.
Mercedes turbine wheel. Because it has a larger major diameter and spools up quicker. that wheel basically has the major of a stage 3 wheel and the exducer or a stage 1. I have one on my focus, it spools significantly faster than the normal stage 1. On the high way at part thr, you can ear it spool full time so know it's ready. You don't need to step on it much to make it go.
