i am building a full race tube framed turbocharged b18b CRX. What shops would you reccomend for the tube frame and the motor work, i think i am going to use JG engine dynamics for the motor, but i havent decided on a turbo company yet.
thanks,
Dylan

these guys sell a 2nd gen crx tube frame.

you do realize that it will be very expensive to do, right? And you might want to look into a H22/23A instead of the B series..more potential (though, admitedly, there is less information regarding them on the net)

dmotoguy

yes, i have been looking at the H22, i think it is what i am going to do.. but i am not 100% sure

dmotoguy

what kind of times could i run if i had 600 hp with a h22a?

in order to run the MB racing tube chassis you need...

a full body CRX
take it a NHRA chassis builder(I suggest domestics shops)
cut off the front end
weld on new tube frame to front end
cut all obdy pieces from old body
weld onto tube frame
make a floorboard(must be NHRA legal)
mount your seats and such


Oh yeah, the most important part is: the tube frame is $2000 without the suspension, which you will need(or at least want it, since you got a tube frame already)...the suspension is also like $1000-2000

hello, this is actually a generalized question, you can run 13 seconds if not done right, see you can make all the horsepower you want, but if you cant put in on the ground effectively, you're not gonna run, so although you put a lot of money on the engine, put just about the same ont he traction and handling, especially a 600hp car, you need a very long wheelbase or longer wheelie bar and slicks and huge axles and driveline that will hold up tot he task.

if I were you I think I would have ALOT more research done when building a tube car then just asking people on the HT board.......good luck

Take you car to a car builder and have them do it all for you. There are lots of places that could put together a decent car. And why is 600hp a magic number? Why not see what your chassis can handle well and stay at that level.

By the way I have a feeling that this car is going to cost you a ton of $$$$ and it won't be done for at least 5 years. Just go build a fast street car first and then decide if you want to invest this much.
