Default My 90 crx turbo (Progress pics on last page)

Well I'll start with my car. It was a 90 crx si with a d16a6 motor. When I bought it, it was on its way to a junk yard. It ran but looked really bad.

I fixed the looks and then swapped the A6 motor out with a D16Z6 motor out of a De Sol. Then decided to boost it just for fun.

The kit I built uses
HF crx manifold
Ebay HF to TD05 adapter
TD05 14B with stock 7psi wastegate
TD05 open dump tube
custom built down pipe
Knock off greaddy BOV
Ebay intercooler kit
DSM 450cc injectors
ECU chipped with chrome pro running on a turbo base map
2 1/4" exhaust with a 2' summit racing glass pack muffler and a Flowmaster axle back muffler.
AEM wideband o2 gauge
2 autometer oil pressure gauges Electric in car and manual under the hood)
autometer boost gauge





First setup had over heating issues with the 1/2 size radiator.



This is how she started life with me.




Car is going in for tuning in a few weeks I hope. But power isn't that big of a deal because untuned the car is fast enough for me.

I will be getting her tuned vary soon. I just have the turbo base map on there to get her started and easy test runs. I just bought a trailer a few weeks ago just to tow her to a tuner.

The lips from a MK3 VW bought it off ebay for $40 and I cut 1" out of it.

Yea I was running the 1/2 size and wasn't liking the lean or the fact it was overheating. I changed the entire setup just to be able to put the full size one back in.
