OK well i figure I should look to the turbo Gods now to make sure I am on the right track. I have about $700 invested and almost done gathering parts. So here is what I have so far:



For fuel I have a FMU and DSM 390cc injectors...I'm gonna ditch the FMU and go chipped with turboedit, FMU came with a package deal I got from a guy so it was almost free anyways...



I have a 1st gen DSM BOV and a banks Boost guage (Thanks Dr. Boost) an a Apexi Electronic Boost controller...I know more than I need but again it was in a package deal...



For the Mani I have a rev hard mani, it cracked and was welded. I plan on eventually swaping to a b18 so figured this would be good untill I do that...



Wastegate I have an external Turbonetic Deltagate mark II, it was in the package deal I know a lot of people on here don't like them but untill I can afford a tial this is it, does anyone know how to tell what psi they are set at and if I can get a new spring for it?



Turbos, I have two right now a garret air research T3 .42/.48 a/r I hace a .60 a/r housing on its way to swap for that small *** .42 compressor side. Turbo #2 is a turbonetic T3/T4 .70/.48 it is toast, needs a rebuild and a compressor wheel, it was included in the package deal, pretty much for free, gonna rebuild and save it or sell it, don't know yet...




I also have a spearco intercooler it is the first pic I don't have the measurements off the top of my head but it dosen't seem to big or too small..

Here is a pic of the concept pros, thanks stealthmode


A pic of the motor...


And finally a pic of my $500 91 CRX Si...


Ok, my goals are to hit around 180-200whp range, am i on the right track? I think all i have left to get is some charge pipes, couplers, downpipe and flanges. I gonna get some stealthmode oil lines, just waiting on some cash, I'm poor right now. Oh and an oil presurre guage, I'm just gonna save and get a wide band o2, will i be ok running without one for a little or should I just drop some bills on a narrow band untill then? OK well sorry for the hella long post but I wanna try and get the kit on over spring break which is around March 4th or soemthing and need to have everything ready for then. Whitey you gonna be home around then I am gonna need your services? Thanks a lot guys...Matt

swapping to a 60 comp housing won't do much since you still got the 50 trim wheel

topspeed

where did you buy that intercooler and for how much?

It's all about the $6 of flat black. The crx will be pimpin. haha

It looks like your kit is coming along. Make sure you have someone do your turboedit basemap that has done one before and you'll be good.

What size wheel should I upgrade to? Give me some advice don't just tell me it won't do anything...

Topspeed...I got the intercooler used included with a lot of other stuff so I don't really know what they cost

Stealth I was really thinking about spraying it flat black
It would deffinately be awesome! I am thinking about getting xenocron to do my base map and then tune, he isn't to far from me...

Anyone have some advice for me just looking for some help here I'm still a noob witht this stuff, thanks...Matt

I'm comming home for spring break March 7 to the 11th but I don't know if I'll be able to help you. I got to finish my car and I have another turbo kit that I'm supposed to build so I'm probably going to be busy. If anything Housekenct or Knarr can help you out.


Good luck

Deltacreep might be something to look into swapping out, Ive read of it creeping well above desired boost level and on a stock motor would not be good

I grabbed a tial knockoff for $130 shipped on Ebay

Thanks man, i really like that IC haha and i like those rims, are they 17's? I have 17 inch on my civic and i gotta say they are way better then my stocker 14's, i felt no difference in acceleration and all that BS horror stories people would tell you about bigger wheels making your car SLOW is crap IMO. Ohh and on the highway/freeway it makes a huge difference cause the wider track makes your car feel very steady, i went 160KM/h all the way down a high way and with my 14inch stock del sol alloys my car would feel like its going to lose it at that speed.

take your car to the dyno and you're guaranteed to notice the difference.
