Re: Suggestions for the LS turbo CRX
I am running Turbo Edit now but I have been seriously considering switching over to OBD1 to run CromePro.It has lots of feutures and looks like the support is getting bigger and bigger everyday.I have thought about long term is the support for TurboEdit going to be there?The 88-91 Civic/CRX's are getting older by the day and i see less an less out there all the time.

Re: Suggestions for the LS turbo CRX
Skip OBD-1, I'll never do that ---- in my CRX.
http://forum.pgmfi.org/viewforum.php...994c749b5c6c5f
Check out BRE. It's for OBD-0 DOHC VTEC ECU's (PR3, PW0) which have VTEC all built into them and ----. Also supports ostrich and all that good ----. I personally like the user interface more than any other tuning program I've messed around with.
As far as 300whp goes with an LS...good luck. Especially with that turbo. I've seen B16's with that turbo and other mods not make 300whp. Infact I think there's some vids in the gallery here. I'm not saying it's impossible but I've never seen it done.
As far as junkyard turbos go...it's probably going to be hard to beat.
Anyway I wouldn't shoot for a number, but I'd shoot for a power level that makes you happy and you're comfortable with. It does seem like 300whp is the bleeding edge for upgrading parts though. Once you're over 300whp and you have parts that support 400whp or more...well there's really no turning back

Re: Suggestions for the LS turbo CRX
theres many options to activate vtec on a obd0 ecu, a socketed ps9 ecu is the easyest way "1 wire vtec" from the auto lockup solinoid, or even a pm6 ecu with vtec activation from the ac button, post in the engine managment forum they'd tell you everything u need to know, i just look at it like this dizzy=80,obd0-obd1 harness around 100,obd1 ecu socketed to run what you have=100 or more. or just socket your pm6 for less then 75, or pick up a ps9 and get it socketed.

Re: Suggestions for the LS turbo CRX
I never really did look into staying OBD0 much always though to run vtec you need a mad tyte jdm ecu which were kinda pricey...and well i don't have ac so might as well keep the turbo edit and stay OBD0...thanks

Re: Suggestions for the LS turbo CRX
OBD1 conversions can be a grip of money, and are probably pointless if you aren't exceeding OBD0 distributor signal capability of 9600 rpms.
TurboEdit does not - so far - have the configurability required to lend the high rpm resolution needed for DOHC VTEC boosted vehicles. AFRs end up pogosticking all over the place with TE on those engines. Works great for D16/VTEC and the non-VTEC engines, though.
BRE runs pretty damn stable, and is plug and play with your current wiring and distributor. It's set up for the 89-91 B16, so the high rpm scalars you need are already there.
You can hit 300 whp off a .60/.63, but with how tiny that turbine is you'll build up heat pretty quick and probably drop a ring land. 250 whp should be a safe bet, and in a light little CRX is a hoot.
FYI, 450cc at stock Honduh pressures (don't buy ****** FPRs, kthx) are good for 300 whp. Buy RC if you want to go bigger?? At those prices
? Get the $300/set Precision units, you can still get a really good idle all the way up to the 880cc units. Not as good ashigh impedance RC 750cc that don't need a resistor box, but you save a good $$$
