Re: 12 second 87 Built Turbo CRX HF
 

Joseph,

I have everything to swap in the 88-89 teg head and wiring etc but I dont' know how to do it. If you wanna come up here I'll put you up in my apartment and I'll get you laid everynight and pick up your bar tab for a few days. ;) ...if you help me with the head swap and the wiring for turbo edit that is.

I wanna run more than 20 psi I just don't have then engine management. :3

At my age with no co-signers, thats a no.

That's why you're selling it (aside from AWD fetish)? You want more power.

----. Uhm, I don't think I can make it up North anytime soon. You can probably convince Blown90hatcH on HT to make a pre-OBD0 to OBD0 conversion harness for you... but he'd not have a car of your era to make the underhood harness for so he might pass on that. If you are comfortable with something like 7 wires that you need to hook up, all clearly labelled, I'm sure he'd do the harness AND I'd shout e-help if you take pics to show me where you're at.

BTW, are you absolutely certain you have to do a head swap? Doesn't the ZC/88-89 Integra dizzy bolt right on? If it's lack of provision on the exhaust cam for the CYP sensor, you can probably run OBD0 HF/Si dizzy with HF cam tower cap.

sell my car and i'll buy your's ;D nice crx tho

Re: 12 second 87 Built Turbo CRX HF
 

Thanks Joseph.

I have a prospective buyer coming up from Delaware to NY to purchase it. If it falls through I'll look at my other options.

I know people have done the dizzy swap but I think it'd be better to do the whole head swap because then I am able to port and polish this one since it's already off the car.
We'll see, thanks for the input with the jumper and whatnot.

4WD does sound very nice though.

Keep in mind that AWD also comes in heavier cars, and attached to more drivetrain losses. One of the nicer newer AWD cars will stand up right out of the hole, but by the top of second start feeling like poop compared to your CRX. A new AWD car won't come with as robust a backbone for making power as you have now, whereas your CRX just needs some suspension work to hook up out of the hole.

Don't let the guy talk you down so much as ten filthy cents. Think hard on it. A different, or newer ride, can be really appealing after having owned your CRX as long as it usually takes to do what you've done to yours. Variety is the spice of life, and much as you love the old slut, your eye is wandering. But, if you just want to go faster, and hook up better, you can do it with your CRX.
