I managed to turbo my rex with the help of the search button to get ideas

build is, bone stock d16y7(60k)
HF manifold(ported)
16b "S" turbo(exhaust side ported)
2.25inch downpipe t-clamped to .89 of an inch cat conv plus mid pipe to a vibrant exhaust..
Saab bov(works great very stealthy)
1.5 inch Saab aluminum piping paired with VW Pasat plastic piping
VW Pasat side mount intercooler
270cc eclipse blue top injectors
hmt aqua valve :-P
1.8L 91 teg ECU for now(very nice increase from a stock 1.6ecu)

Thumbs up to the gurus of this website, search is the key!

overall im pleased with the performance of the car,


Engine with no intake.. for now...


Thats my extremely big cat... on top of the motor yes he is that big...


MY aqua valve hiding under the strut bar.


Bottom half of my piping the plastic side plus a peak of the intercooler,


Car is too low so i keep raping the mugen bumper


eye candy shots:






My piping needs to die.

 

looks good man!

pretty cat!

 

anyone know what size the stock injectors are for the 89ish crx?

 

you're using a stock ls ecu??

 

stock inj are 240cc chip your ecu and get some dsm 450cc inj then no aqua valves

 

the only thing i had layin around was an LS ecu off a 91teg, and boy... the diff is pretty impressive from the 1.6ecu...

I know i need a tune, but i ran out of cash plus i sort of lost my job, im trying to figure out what i can use in the meantime for now. I have a set of 450cc's layin around, but with no tune i might be putting too much fuel in at low rpm so i didnt put them in

 

you will be putting more fuel in anyware

 

yes... but its too risky putting 450cc's on an un tuned motor..

 

Since i know that ppl with a d15 non vtec buy a y8/z6 ect vtec head to raise the comp, My question would be is that i have a d16y7(2000 civ block) if i were to get a y8 head.. would it raise the comp?

i really dont want to raise my comp but at the same time i know y8 heads do flow better.

 

eye candy. If your car is scraping the front bumper on the bottom, why would you let the pipe hang so low, you are going to rape those couplers with a good hand ful of concrete, seriously though, do not put your piping under and of the frame and especially lower than a bumper, especially if you rub in on the ground every once and a while.Tune it with 450's, that is the only way anything will work right, sell some ---- to afford it if its to expensive, and please get matching rims and have the car painted.
