Well, before I take a big step into turboing my CRX, I'm wondering what some common problems are when turboing a CRX SI 1988. So please let me know. One thing I think is going to be a problem is the radiator and the turbo housing/manifold clearance issues. I sorta thought that you could retro fit an EG radiator into it, but if at all possible, I don't want to do that.

So please let me know before I start buying up this stuff to get it put together. Oh yeah, it's a stock CRX SI motor (D16a6).

 

Yup, just go snag an eg 1/2 rad and possibly a slim fan, make a bracket and youve got a hell of a lot more room, for the rest of the clearances, nothing that a cut off wheel cant take care of

 

Another big problem for the EF crowd is the OEM crossmember being in the way of the downpipe. You can either cut and hack away at it until the DP fits (not something I would trust), or you can buy an aftermarket crossmember/traction bar from L-Con or Full Race.
