Nice setup man. I bet the t3/t4 pulls real nice. That was a great find on that car at $650. Let us know how it runs and trading in the bottle for FI wasn't so bad was it? Or do you still have the Zex Rex?

ya the story on the car was he said the timing belt slipped or broke.. so i was like ok that engine is gone. but it was fine.

only things wrong were:
244k miles
ac didnt work
hood was dented and barely closed
pass seat ripped (dime sized)
headgasket blown (oil in coolant)
windshield cracked

overall a very clean car and a hell of a find. it was in podunk tennessee. the guy barely knew what the car was.

never buy a crx off the internet they are WAY overpriced for what they are.

and i put the bottle on my 96 2.3l ranger, haha its just for fun. i will prob sell it soon.

im getting boost around 3-4k rpm, yes the turbo is way too big for this engine its temporary


ok so i went to race tonight, i installed a boost controller 5 mins before i left but i fucked it up somehow and am only running 7 psi.. grr. i didnt have anything to adjust it with either mother #@$#@$!

fastest car out was a b18c civic i/h/e/chip/some other ---- (NOONE was out there, hey its thurs at midnight)

first race with mr b18c civic.. i cant drive.. burned out thru 1st and second, then my charge pipe blew off in third
so i let off

2nd race same civic, from a 10mph roll, got thru first, second tires broke loose, redlined, missed third, caught up to him in third after missing shift, then shift to fourth and there goes charge pipe = 0psi he got about a car length on me.

so then i was like ---- this i gotta learn to race this car turbo, tighten my charge pipes, and fix this boost controller. i can rape that b18 civic i mean he pulled away when i missed a shift and i caught right back up hah.

i want to run 12 psi on this engine not weak ass 7-8, thats -----. i wish i didnt have to go to school tomorro or i would stay home and work on my car non stop.

i wanted to rape the slutstang but he has i/h/e/cams/125 shot. gonna have to wait for the next motor on that one.

the problem with the turbo setup is the crap ass 244k mile d16a6, i got a zc to put in but i really want b series. eh well i will see.
