Re: n00b project crx and toyota 22R (pics will be up on monday)
More Pics of the project...
Now as I said before it had tons of rust... I took the taillight off and a chunk of bondo fell off
And this is the floor in the truck, I know it was a waste of time but when you work out where I work you gotta keep busy and this was what I did.... It was good practice as far as learning to weld and bodywork/painting....
And there was also a lot of rust around the windsheild the guy who owned it ( a true farmer) had siliconed all the way around the windsheild so tons of rust I could actually stick my hand in the A pillar!
So after some welding and such it turned out all right
Then there was the blown head gasket last winter...
Took the time to clean it up and fix every other part underhood that could give me problems... all new hoses/vac lines/ fuel lines....
And this is last summer in my homeMadePaint booth....
I know there aren't any actual turbo setup pics yet but I will follow thru with this so until then thanks for any input.

As for the truck it needs more power to turn some 37" tires cause it sure as hell couldn't do it very well stock! So I'll finish the
HMT setups on these two this spring'ish and then I might have some money left over for the 4X4.

Re: n00b project crx and toyota 22R
just read this post by blast:
So I guess I won't be using a ct-26... sounds like a POS! Better off with a straight T3 then... I need something that'll spool up around 2200-2500 rpm on my 22r.Any more opinions on the ct-26 ?

ebay Rebuild "kits" are, as always, a scam, inviting people to believe they can rebuild a turbo themelves with just a hammer, a screw driver an no balancing!! Since they do not even include the proper sized bearings that are always needed to cure shaft play, you wake up short of a hundred bucks and with a bunch of extra parts that generally don't even need to be replaced, the wrong bearings and an no warranty but the one that this turbo will fail again in minutes.
