Ill let the pictures do most of the talking...

started off as a stock 89 si




got a 98spec ITR motor with couple bolt-ons










threw on a fully-built head (pro2s, crower valve train, port n polish..etc)




had a lot of fun and decided to add some spray to the mix. Made 240whp/200lbs




aaand later that year, this was the result of topping out on a highway run


so over winter it was back to the drawing board and decided to go in a new direction




82mm darton sleeved, JE 9-1, Eagle rods, knife edged/balanced/micropolished crank...)


6262


patiently waiting


little art work






new custom mani test fit






with the tial mv-r






in.. nice and snug


itr cluster


after intercooler was fabbed up with back door and tial 50mm came arrived








new cf hood sir for usdm front end


and of coarse.. Treblic Tuned









pump and alternator went on the dyno unfortunately so had to cap it off at 450whp for now.

retuning with another cam, bigger pump and injector soon. Shooting for 600+ stay tuned.

Shout out to Pro-Spec Racing and Treblic Tuned

Nice set up!!!!!
great photos!!
what about susp?

EKgsrB18C

thanks, suspension-wise i went 4x114 ITR but i went back to 4x100 with DA front knuckes and GSR rear trailing arms with brand new brakes and bushings all around. Just in the search for coilovers now.

Nice build came a ways from how you got it.

Looks good. Nice build.

I had to do the same thing with my radiator, ended up boxing it in with some 1/8" thick aluminum sheeting to direct airflow into it. Definitely will help with cooling.

Looks good bud, where is the shop that did the tuning. I noticed Weir built your mani, hes done some work for me to definetely top notch!!

Are you actually in toronto? Hoping you may be a little west so I can see this car some day maybe

EKgsrB18C

the rad was such a bitch to fit, for one its for an EG so its a little taller and its slightly too wide it almost touched the downpipe. Made so custom brackets to make it sit on an angle and lower along with some trimming of the webbing under my hood made it fit like a glove.

There is no shop, Chris Treblic flew up to tune my car and we rented a dyno from a local muscle car shop. Ya Aaron Weir has magic hands, one of the best Canada has to offer and life time warranty on his work. Im in Mississauga to be exact i'm sure you'll have a chance to see my car at events

I assumed mine would fit but my recirculating dump ended up being in the way so while I had to shift the radiator its not quiet as extreme as yours. I just used scrap aluminum laying around work and after the radiator was secure I boxed it in. I need to pull the radiator and put some rubber gasket material on the aluminum as sometimes it makes a bit of a vibration noise and I don't want it to eat through the radiator over time. I wish I had pics with the bumper off as a lot of it is hidden. It is secured to the frame by sheet metal screws.

EKgsrB18C

Thats a pretty nice setup too i just dont know if boxing it in does more harm than good cause the heat is trapped. Is your thermostat gutted?

TKERacer619

Nope, stock thermostat.

Right now air won't really be forced through your radiator at speed. Most likely its your fan doing most of the work. Blocking off the holes in the front to force air through the radiator definitely helps with high speed temps.

Subscribed! Nice build!

new exhaust and open dump




just got back from Fall Nationals at Etown picked up my new tools for my power goal

Vagitarian

Did you bring that CRX to Toronto Motorsports park about 2 months ago?? Trailerred in on a pickup truck?

I circled back but couldnt find the rex, was a white rex with those style rims I recall so chances are Im thinking it was you

Still a sick setup

foedoeswag

This = awesome. I want this Rex. Great setup dude

EKgsrB18C

thanks guys

no last i was at the track was cscs running street wars until my slick fucked up. You probably seen my buddy matt that crx is a maaachine too

JuicedUpRice

damn..beautiful work dude

spoolin_crx_

Very nice build. Have an 88 si im working on. Like that top mount header.

Can u post more pics of the exhaust. Like the way it looks giving me good ideas

EKgsrB18C

decided to go straight out over the control arm that way there's no 2 unnecessary 90s to get to the oem location, way better flow

spoolin_crx_

Yea i agree...for the most part did it run in the stock location? Except the end.....what size is the pipe

EKgsrB18C

Pipe is 3". What you mean did it run in stock location?

spoolin_crx_

Like the hull part where it will tuck in better during its travel to the back

EKgsrB18C

Oh ya its the exact same route minus after the control arm
