ESP.net's 2.3L Turbo Crx :)
Here is the Recap: www.ExplicitSpeedPerformance.net
This was going to be my 2nd time toying with turbo and going to the darkside... I was going to boost the stock H23A Vtec Blue Top block however decided to rebuild it so it could handle more then the standard 8-12 psi. Goal now is to be close to the edge for a street car. Looking for roughly 400+ whp and some crazy torque with the 95mm at around 14-16 psi on pump.
Current NA status:
- JDM H23A Vtec Blue Top Stock Internals!
- JDM H22A M2B4 LSD trans

Update:
Took me a bit after figuring ectune out and getting all the straighten out...
Dyno is Tom.!!! My Intercooler is going to limit me right now but wasn't shooting for crazy power yet. I am hoping for around the 400 whp mark 14-16 psi. I think I am being lil conservative...

Re: ESP.net's 2.3L Turbo Crx :)
Synapse made the mani
Haha motor held fine thanks Mitch!
I will post the dyno sheet tomorrow...
She made peak power of 411 hp and 340 trq at 15 psi... 4k rpm 275 ft lb torque. at SpeedFactory in Tacoma, WA www.SpeedFactoryRacing.net James is a great tuner! thanks again!
Never turbo'd before took her down the street for lil drive... half throttle brought a smile to my face hankookies are just not going to cut it! haha
Next plan is to get her broken in change the fan to a better flowing one... and put the slicks on a take her down the track.

7.2 psi 330 hp 275 trq run and 15 psi run 411 hp 340 trq... engines breathing pretty good and probably begs a bigger turbo. But am happy for now.
