Get a 42/48 t-3 youll thank us all for it

 

Right now I am goign one step at a time. The IHI RHB5 was all i could get my hands on for cheap. Remeber this is a 1900lb CRX, I really dont need to kill myself, i think 160whp woudl be more than enough until i can get a new turbo, but reight now while im at it i want to see how far i can push my current setup.

 

the point with going with a T3 vs a rhb5 is that the flanges are universal from one T3 to another...

but if you already have a rhb5 use it and learn with it

 

thats what i am thinking. I am still new to boost.
And i love the quick spool!
besides, how much usable hp could the 1g crx chassis use. I know of a guy with a b16a 1g crx runnign 13s with only 150whp. If I made 160-170whp id be one happy camper. I know, not fast enough for some, but fast enough for me.

 

Sounds a little like my setup..
How did you drop the weight to 1900?
But my turbo is a big bigger.. And i have a front mount.

 

Have you put that motor in your CRX yet, cuz the driver side motor mount is gonna be off. Also your wiring harness won't work with the the dizzy you have rip the wiring harness apart and make a special plug becuase that dizzy has a external TDC senor. That and the motor is up at a tilt and will hit your hood. I was just curious how you delt with some of these problems, they were a pain in the *** for me.

 

The motor has been in my car for nearly a year. I ran a best pass of 14.8 with cams i/h/e on street tires.
I am a avid redpepperracing.com forum user, so youll find me posting alot there. The turbo is already on but now I need to upgrade my clutch. It slips once it warms up. ZTo answer your question, I used the original 87 Si harness and converted it to OBD0 (pre OBD). Its actually not too bad. A couple of connectors from the teg, some reqiring, and it runs liek a factory d16a1. Alot of people swap in browntops but for turbo I opted to go with the blacktop.
I have no issues with the engine hitting the hood.
and the driver side motor mount, you simply use a CRX one. Unless youre talking about a ZC-2, in which case you do need custom mounts.
