-B18a1 (stock rebuild)
-block honed
-oem pistons/rods with hastings rings
-oem bearings/gaskets/seals
-3 angle valve job and resurfaced the valves
-arp head studs & rod bolts
-gates blue timing belt
-purple powdercoated vlave cover
-purple password jdm cam plug
-purple oil cap
-b16a throttle body
-blox magnetic oil/trans bolts
-cable ls trans
-stock flywheel resurfaced
-stage 6 action 6 puck clutch
Turbo goodies
-garrett ta34 turbo (rebuilt) with vband welded onto exhaust housing
-38mm tial evolution wastegate
-38mm turbonetics raptor bov
-3bar in stock map housing
-ebay intercooler piping
-stock evo9 intercooler
-ebay silicone 3 ply couplers
-godspeed vacuum block
-custom stainless top mount manifold
-dei exhaust wrap
-golden eagle oil sandwich plate
-ebay oil feed/return lines with 1.5mm restrictor
Fuel
-xenocron 255 fuel pump
-fuel lab fuel pressure regulator
-fuel lab fuel pressure gauge
-1000cc id injectors
Cooling
-scirocco radiator
-moroso inline radiator hose filler
-mishimoto 1.3bar cap
-ebay slim fan (not sure if I'm keeping it)
Exhaust
-2.5" stainless downpipe with vband at turbo
-stainless pipe for wastegate with vband, will be recirculated
-ebay test pipe
-2.5" greddy sp2 catback
Electronics
-converted to obd1
-chipped p06 ecu running on crome
-tunerview 2
-plx dm6 wideband
-ebay boost gauge
-burn2, ostrich, hulog
Suspension
-stock shocks/springs

I got this car for my 17th birthday and have wrenching on it ever since, this is around when I first got it
This is what it looked like before tore everything apart
Cluster setup
New engine
Had the new engine in for a couple thousand miles then tore it apart again
The snail
Intercooler
Header used for the manifold
Turbo during the rebuild
Exhaust housing
Fuel lab fuel pressure regulator
Traction bar
That's pretty much it for now, I'll be doing some more work this weekend. Let me know what you guys think

Thanks man and the traction bar allows more room for downpipe clearance, allows for adjustable caster, and gives you more traction (hence the name) because there's a heim joint instead of a bushing which results in less wheel hop

I'll try to add more pictures later on but it's neptune tunerview 2 (the smaller screen) and I have red but you can pick from a few different colors. I've seen people have it in this location but I couldn't find any write ups so I sort of had to do trail and error to get it to fit. The screen itself is just an all in one gauge that shows anything from ect temperature and injector duty cycle to check engine codes. I got mine from xenocron

Got this inline filler neck but didn't realize it was for a larger size rad cap, most likely I'll still use it though
Downpipe mocked up
Might make a second one like this
I was cleaning out the tech library at work, thought you guys would find this cool
Would it be better to use an intercooler like the first picture or use the stock evo9 intercooler? I'm aiming for around 300hp, guess I could always make adjustments if I need a bigger intercooler down the road. I already have the evo intercooler but just looking for input since a ton of stuff will need cut for the evo intercooler to fit

Re: Ohisofly's 91 Crx turbo ls build thread
Very interesting! I like the manifold you made. Very very cool. What do you weld with?
As for an intercooler. You really can't go wrong with the front mount in the first picture. You can get a lower quality one and it will work for your HP goal.
One more thing...
stage 6 action 6 puck clutch
From what I've read isn't a 6 puck like a stage 4? I know every make is different though. That will be a little chattery and probably overkill for this build. I think, if I remember correctly that is. I could be wrong.

I would go with a full face clutch over a puck clutch with similar torque rating. Its so much smoother when in stop and go traffic.
