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?

Re:whoo hoo finally done with my setup UPDATE: PICS!!
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.

Re:whoo hoo finally done with my setup UPDATE: PICS!!
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 *** 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 *** 244k mile d16a6, i got a zc to put in but i really want b series. eh well i will see.
