Type R turbo CRX
 

Has anyone slapped a turbo together on a type r in a crx on here yet? Rite now i have a jdm type r in my crx back home with basic bolt ons and ctr cam,itr cam, and i havnt made up my mind yet whether i should do rods and pistons on the r and turbo that or if i should save some money and sell it and buy a b18c1 or a b18b and build+turbo that.

Any input appreciated plus any links to b18c5-t 's especially in crx.

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

its a waste...too high of compression stock to last, and it wouldnt make great power numbers compared to a gs-r motor boosted, nobody on here has the $$$ for a type r motor anyway, and even if they do they wouldnt buy it cuz its a waste! sell the type r motor and do a built gs-r motor for the same price and actually make 500 whp safley on a built motor.....

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

so you think even with rods and pistons to lower the compression and give it a little strength it would still be stupid? And the thing with the type r was i got an amazing deal so it was hard to pass up and i was more of an all motor person back then. Now sense i live in jacksonville,Fl for now i have alot of friends with decently quick turbo cars. So in the last year i have become far more interested in the turbo scene and done a ---- ton of research and alot on here. I am just trying to figure out a realistic plan for the rex for when i get back home in december up in wa state.

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

If I was you, I would sell the full type r swap and use the money to buy a gsr swap and build that instead

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

ya, i would get it if it was a decent price and eather build it if u have the money or just get lower cp pistons

or build it, but just block fill it wit that moroso stuff, no selving lol...

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

I allrady HAVE the type r in my crx, its been in there sense last x mas when i came home on leave and put it in, its mated to a j1 cable tranny,unsprung 6 puck,r pressure plate,r flywheel,i/h/e ctr cam,itr cam

I only got to drive it a week before i left back to florida. and havn't been home sense.

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

just put lower cp pistons in, thats fine, but u should gime what ever ctr or itr cams u have lol i want some lol, but just find some like gsr or somthin around that pistons to lower the cp a lil bit. then boost it but only like 8-10 psi tho on a decent sized turbo...

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

you could boost the b18c5, just be conservative with the power and have it tune'd

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

hmmmm I really want to boost the R sense i alrleady have it in there, But even if i put lower cp pistons in and put rods in will it still hold up with the abuse? I am not looking for an insane fast car, i just want 12's. Which seems easily attainable with a boosted R in a crx. I just dont want to push too much boost and blow the bitch up/

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

I allready did obd0-obd1 conversion and have a p28 running uberdata BTW so im set up in that aspect. I know a bit about uberdata, been looking into crome a little bit, anyone have thoughts on comparisons between the two?

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

do pistons and rods, you will be golden. You have the r already so why change it? sell the r cheap and then buy a gsr for more then its worth? you haven't got anywere.

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

i'll say just boost whatever you got. Just get some lower forged compression pistons. And get it tuned.

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

no, the answer is no.

no one has ever turbo'ed an ITR motor in a CRX...EVER

you would be the first.

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

speak for yourself buddy. ::)

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

turbocharge it y0

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

hks and meguiars did that twin-charged type-r a long time ago.
it made over 400 hp on a stock b18c5 motor. i think the only change was that the pistons were coated with something.

20 lbs. of boost!

one ugly car i tell ya

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

what a ricer :-X

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

you're right about the waste part. but thats it 8)

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

I think I just threw up in the back of my throat... and its all about the tune.

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

FOok i meant on HMT, not ever, im not ignorant. ;D

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

Allrite so im going to go ahead and go along with it. Boostin the R

Now to figure out what kind of rods and pistons i want.

btw, for those of you who thought iwas bullshitting...

holy ---- i miss that place, ---- florida

Yea she is dirty, needs a wire tuck and a good cleaning,but i only got to drive it for lesss then a week once i put it in, that was last x mas, so i havnt been home in a long time to finish everything up.

So so so what pistons and rods! andw hat compression ratio should i bring it down too?

Eagle rods and Endyne Rollerwave pistons. Lots of info on that site BTW.

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

On Type R's isn't the VTEC bigger than the DOHC???

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

you dont need a boosted type r motor to go fast in a crx. ----, a couple of mice running in those cage wheels for an engine would make a crx fly.

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

What a waste of money, for the price of a boosted type R you can literatly have a boosted K20 swap.

My buddy has an integra Type R he just blew 20 grand on the block and turbo, Sleeved, Rods, Pistons, machine work and a turbo setup, I think this is a complete waste of money. Get an LS motor, they are good to 250 - 300WHP with good tuning, and ---- the Type R

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

throw a pt67 turbo on there with some good management and call it a day. my friend just ran 10.98 with a stock itr motor with a pt67 in an eg hatch :o

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

ask your self this first are you building a street car or a race car if your building a street car low boost such as a small turbo or a jrsc will be fine but if your building a race car pull that bitch sell it and build a crvtec and boost the hell out of it keep in mind thow its all about what you want to do and YOUR budget ;D

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

A crvtec is not good to boost, weak ass sleeves will crack, I'd boost an LS Vtec if anything.

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

for all you ------ haters that say ---- the type r etc, listen, its what i have rite now, in my car, and i got it for 2500 legit through a great friend of mine that has 2 type r's (rhd and lhd) and a ctr-turbo(rhd imported)
its what i have, so stop hating, im exploring the options of weather or not to boost it or to sell it and boost something else, i am building a street car, not looking for anything insane, like i said, just want to go turbo, and im working on a military paycheck which isn't ---- but enough to build a quality setup, im not sleeving or anything like that,becuase im not looking for insane power like i said, just want to get into the 12's. Looking for the easyest way, so far ive came to the comclusion just to do rods and pistons and boost it, allready running uberdata on a p28 so thats taken care of. But thats why i was asking if most of you think it would be smarter in the long run to sell it and take the leftover money and get a gsr or ls and build/boost that.

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

:-\


you asked for advice and people gave it to you. No reason to get all butt hurt. I love how people come on here and said "what do you think i shoudl do" and when they tell them and the feel offended they say ---- like that.

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

that car makes me hungry for McDonnalds. MMM Ketchup and mustard..... ::)

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

sounds like your talkin about fat whitney. oh i mean tim whitney. :P where is he at stealing cars nowdays??? he left oregon a while back

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

also u shouldnt need to turbo a itr motor to get it to runs 12's in a crx. it should hit that no problem. if you can drive even half ass

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

lol, word...

ive got an itch in my cornhole that says an stock NA ITR swap could do a 12 in a crx :P

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

it is a good bet. crx would need to be stripped, and some lsd action for sure.

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

i have the video actually.

12.77@106mph

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

Full interior, Si, non lsd j1 b16 tranny. soo she needs some booosty boost ;D

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

yup. fookle is correct. i went 12.7 with full interior. everything. then i stripped the ---- outa the car and went 12.6 :-X

Re: Type R turbo CRX
 

Just buy some nitrous slap a 75 shot on and run 11 sec. all day. We got a couple type r eg hatches running 75 shots running 11s all day here in the islands.
