Well, I'm sure some1 is going to call me a dumbass or say NO WAY, but the only Porsche I would take before your Honda would be a 959, and I doubt if there's is one of those out there to be had. Everyone knows a Porsche is fast and is expecting to have their ass handed to them, but they don't think that about a CRX....with some tuning and a little more cheese($$)put into that REX you'll be handing 944's their ass...

I love my car, but I might consider trading for what's in the foreground:

Rollerwaves I got from Endyne for about 550 the set if I remember correctly. Are you in Norway? I worked in Oslo for a time...

Ahh, the radiator. Give the guys at exospeed.com a call and they will hook you up. I have D series spouts, whereas it will be more common to get one with a B series spout.

Up from the bowels of HMT archive comes an update: Just wanted to say thanks again for the info I learned here, even though I'm mostly just a lurker some of you know me from other boards. The setup listed above was updated because of a blown head gasket. Added was OBD1 conversion, HKS metal HG, 3 bar map sensor, test pipe/catless, Walbro fuel pump, and Neptune software.

It was tuned at Evans tuning, www.evans-tuning.com , and laid out some nice conservative power. 250hp @ 6300k & 225tq @ 3250k @15 psi. Power feels very smooth just like it came from the factory that way, except for the little dip in the power curve. It was so much better tuning with this than with the non OBD ZDYNE. Well worth the OBD1 conversion IMO.

Here is the dyno plot. The lower graphs are the low boost settings.

One question I had for the HMT crowd was info on getting a smaller bar and plate FMIC. I am having heat soak problems from everything being stacked up and want to use a smaller IC and position it more towrds the center, as it's pushed towards the passenger side now. It didn't get above 180 or so on the Dynopak but driving around at part throttle the air flow wasn't getting to the rad. :(

Any input would be welcomed! Thanks for everything!

More pics from before the conversion.

The FMIC I have on there now is a PWR that's rated for like 500 hp. I don't have the dimensions here but I'll get back to you with 'em. I am looking for a FMIC that will be fine for the 250 that I have already. Not planning on adding a whole lot more power. The car is not a full race car, it's still got to have an air of civility!

As for the Porche thang...meh.. this thread started in 2004, no one seemed to mind then! Besides have you never heard of the CRX being labeled the "poor mans Porche"? Isn't that one of the moderators even? :8
