new track car!!!!

[EF Honda EF]

Me and another CC member (slowcivicEG) bought a 1991 CRX si today for 400 dollars, gutted it completely except for the 2 front seats and the dash, it weighs 1880 pounds with a 1/2 tank of gas, we took it to capitol raceway today and ran high 14's low 15's consistanlty. We have a turbo that we are going to put on it this week.

That doesn't look like a crx!!!

Yea we are going to work on getting the turbo on this week, we still need injectors, and to run oil feed/return lines and coolant feed/return lines, we have an intercooler from a turbo elclipse, a charge pipe courtesy of kyle10182, thank you. We are using a turbo xs manual boost controller, hks bov and autometer boost gauge all from my rx7. Best run of the night was a 14.9 with still more interior parts due to come out and the turbo to go on. Will get pics of the REX itself tomorrow.

Dont know what your looking at

We are also planning on taking out the rear window and replacing it with lexan. For even more weigh reduction. We are going to have the down pipe coming out the front bumper. We are looking for some wheels. Light weight ones really. and injectors. Im pumped, this thing is stock and will beat most of you ZCers out there and we have a turbo on the way. 14.9 to start off with

We will keep this thread updated with pictures of the turbo install that will be happening this week, and hopefully ready to run next week if we can get some nice injecters. So far this project has only cost us, 500dollars with 400 of that being for the car.

that guys a f**kin d**k head!

yea, rip that damn dash out. have you done a compression check? it may be worth your while to do that, and a timing belt if u want it to last a little longer...

Thanks kyle, we'll look into those things, and yes the dash will be coming out soon, I think the test fitting of the turbo may be today, just need to do something about that possible leak and oil return to the oil pan, other than that we have everything ready. It backfires so much and so loud how it sits now.

Here are some more pictures of some work that we did on the manifold and flange on the turbo. Also some pictures of the car how it sits now.
the exhaust side would of leaked because of the shape of the flange. Our manifold has a stright flange so we had to fill in the area with jb weld. Hope it holds up to the heat.

Before anything was touched... Oh yea look at our battery hold down. Capital raceway says its a fire hazard

Hope you like it so far.

you should post your time in the 4th gen 1/4 mile thread.

 

[kyle10182]

if you need a video, my camera takes videos. what are you doing about piping? its really best not to have a lot of couplings. they can cause trouble. im sure steve knows all about that...

 

[biglou954]

damn looks good!

yea a few vids would be real nice, and i do know alot about too many couplings on turbo cars, but if its done right, on only a few pounds of boost it shouldnt be too big of a deal, dont know exactly how we're going to do the piping. what are u up to right now?
