whos is that? yours?

Uh no, xXMahanXcorEXx's, the CRX everyone's been posting about. :lol:

that pic does absolutely no good, a side shot, yeah that shows how badass of a car it is....

K, here's his engine bay:



Exhaust:

that car looks so badass its a FWD car but can get the front wheels off the ground

Wow way to get the pics of the car when I bought it like 3 months ago haha it looks nothing liek that now when I get my cam back from my friend next week ill take new pics, the car weighs like 1800 lbs and has a vtec head swap with a cower cam ecu and intake and exhaust, it stick has 135 hp on the stock engine without cam intake exhaust or chip.

i have heard that the crx can be fixed up to be one of the faster cars of its kind out there...

still see nothing special that can beat most v8s, 13 second timeslip or bullshit......

I have seen a CRX smoke a Corvette z06 in person so yea.

I need to get tuned and my timing fixed cause of the head swap. but I just got the car like 2 months ago, I've bearly been able to drive it. but this summer I'll get to the track.

ok, we all know a majority of Aleromod doesn't like Honda's. However, when I was in High School (yes, that was a long time ago) a kid had a new stock '85 honda CRX and used to smoke the living crap out of stock V8's ALL DAY LONG.

It's a simple matter of HP/Weight ratio and good engineering from torque band to gearing.

I dont like em at all, but the freaking little things are admittedly fast as hell with little work done to em.

I raced one not too long ago, probably about stage2 N/A I believe if I had to put a label on his mods, and he was pretty quick. We finally got a crow-bar to get his car pried out of my intake and I talked to the guy about it, and he told me about what little he'd done to it to get it to that point. Wasn't too bad if I had to throw together something cheap and quick.

Motorcycles are fast, too. :)

Yeah a CRX, not your CRX.

What do you consider "the majority of the stock v8's" that you would toast?
I don't know what that means...

fail, braggin about a honda on an american forum......

i want pics, naow

I got my ho too!

is the car a v6

yes where have you been ?? this is even posted in the 3400 catagory

Question
 

for those who have mounted an intercooler im getting rid of the free one i was given and buying one with the demensions of like 22x5.5x3 .. my question is how did you mount it? did you have to cut alot of the plastic off behind the bumper? because i had the bumper off today and that is the only way i see to do it.... any insight?

I saw a full turbo install with pics on another forum and he/she had to cut it to make the intercooler fit.

do you have the link to it ?? it would be very helpful.... when i had the bumper off today i figured that some fab cutting would be needed....

I'ma make a how to soon as my shit's done.

that would be amazing... what does you cooler look like? i was thinkin about getting one with the inlet and outlets on the same side

On my car, I mounted the intercooler to the metal crash beam behind the plastic bumper support. My intercooler is 31" wide and I had to trim the plastic bumper support a little just around the corners of the intercooler to fit it. With an intercooler that's 22" wide, you may not have to do any trimming at all.

I don't think I have a picture with the support installed, but here's the intercooler mounted to the crash beam.

thanks that helped alot....
;)

eff
 

as we all know gm is effed and on monday they will be releasing the list of dealerships in ohio to close over 4200 nation wide.... we are a very likey candidate since there are two other gm dealers around us .... so should i keep going on the turbo setup or hold off and ride this through??

Keep going.

thats the plan
lol:cool:

Ew, same side I/O.

why you say ew?? thats not a same side intercooler in that pic

I commented on both of your points in the quote. Did you not see that? You wanted to see what my intercooler looked like. Then you mentioned you wanted a same side intercooler.

I answered both.

oh lol.... why are you against the inter coolers with the inlet and outlets on the same side?? i would think it will make piping very much easier

Well on your setup it would make things easier. I just don't like how they look.

yeah i like the other kind better but for time manegement i may get one .. however there is a guy locally that will sell me one that looks identicle to your for 40 so i probably will go for that one even though it will be harder...

how would i run the piping back up through the hole to the intake?

...also im looking at oil return lines any recomendations for that?

Really?

As for oil return lines, im not sure. I know Richie (AftermathAlero) has a lot of parts, but im sure someone will give you a decent answer soon enough.

Yeah... you get some -10AN braided stainless steel hose, fittings to fit on the turbo's outlet, and either a bung or a fitting to weld into the oil pan and screw on your hose with its fitting.

just picked up this intercooler from a guy on craigslist for 40 bucks
its a jdm

ok so for those that have done this or those that have no how... i was just out looking at the manifold to see how i was going to run the new turbo manifolds... now i have two designs, 1 i dont think will work because of clearence issues around the corner of the motor.... so idea two looks like what aftermath did. now my question is to combine the front and back manifold parts together and go into the turbo wont be to hard, the problem i see is when you disconect the downpipe from the back log and run a pipe from the outlet of the turbo to the downpipe that would leave the old hole where it was bolted to the back log,, so would you just bolt on a closed flange to "plug" up the hole??
'sorry for the long post

Ya. _

so that is correct you just bolt on a closed flange as a "plug" ?

my other idea was cut back the downpipe (have to anyways) and put a 90 degree elbo from the stock DP hole and run that to the inlet and then run the downpipe from the turbo to the exhaust to the back,..... only problem with this idea is pipe clearance on the side... here is a rough diagram of tha idea.. although the "plug" the hole idea is probably how i will go.

bad very rough thought of possible manifold mod. probably not enough room for piping with this way but just a thought.
