Thanks for all the useful info I got from reading here. It may not look HMT but it certainly is, even if the mani, and downpipe are from a kit (Apexi 92+ Civic kit). Everything has been chopped, welded and hammered into place. A quick breakdown.

ZC rollerwaves, eagles, 450's, zdyne, ect
Laskey rebuilt p&p head, ss exhaust valves, stock HG
Z10 crossmember
KAAZ LSD
Apexi civic turbo kit, all SS charge piping
ACT pressure plate/Clutch Net disk
Progress adj. coilovers
profec b (where the clock was)
C&R custom radiator is OEM EF height and 1/2 sized. Fits without hacking or leaning back.
A double DIN stereo surround holds 42 Draft Designs 3 gauge pod. All VDO gauges.

oh yeah, most of the swearing and fabbing came from retaining AC. What a biatch.

Let's move on to the pics...

Wow, what a setup Looks great! Have you run it at the track or dyno yet? AC is definately a pain in the *** to work around. But you managed to do it and keep it looking real clean. nice job.

looks good, i love the color

It has just come off the stands. I had however been autocrossing it before it went under the blade. We will be starting it hopefully in a few days. The goal is reliable daily driven 210+whp @ 10psi. And max at 14 which should be the top end on the Apexi setup. The dual BB turbo should flow very well and I'm looking forwrads to a very nice torque curve. I was going to follow up a previous post on the build but it had been too long since I had made it!

Here it is before the ZC rebuild:

Looking good...me liky

Definately nice, and I think a goal of 210 at 10 psi are reasonable numbers. I think it's a very good possibility that with a little tuning you can hit those numbers easilly.

Dude your crx looks just like my ef hatch dame seats same color wheels and same si blue minus the front bumper mines black

Looking good and all, but there is still no comparison to a honda and a porsche.. no matter how much work and money you dump into it, the end result will not = a porsche.

Sorry to burst your bubble, I'm just a porsche fan.

Aww man! What about the VDO guages? They come in a Porche!

Hey that's ok! I'm truley a Porche fan myself too. So you must know that a 911 turbo of about any vintage is going to cost more than this project. I guess I coulda bought a 944 turbo for about the same, but then it cost a fortune just to get new brake pads! Hear out the vision for this project. The plan was to make a drivers car that had look like it coulda come from the factory. The CRX already has that nice sloping back. 2 door, 2 seater. No racing seats, I'm using a set of SiR seats. JDM ITR steering wheel that has a nice H emblem. A single pillar pod. Turbo, AC. It has solid clean setup, with integration and sophistication, and most certainly is MY "poor man's 911"

And I will challenge any Porche on the track! I'm not saying I would win, but hey I would get to see some nice cars if they showed up!

BTW did you notice the Porche in the background? It's a full race version. Actually under the tarp is another, and that one is a 911 Turbo. And of course a Viper.

Damn, nice professional setup you got going on there. I've always wanted a porsche, I'm going to try and find maybe a 1974+ one of these days in need of bad restoration and make it a long term project. Who did your paint? I like how the engine bay looks as clean as the rest of the car.
