Looking for a turbo kit that will fit in a full-cored GSR CRX

pretty much the only option would be a log manifold and a small turbo...I've seen one or two setups with a full-length radiator (i'll try and find pics). Whats you power goal? I used a half sized PWR radiator on my crx with the full-race traction bars and everything was fine.

 

What kind of power are you looking to make? I know that the SPoolin log and SLS shorty ramhorn are both pretty compact and capable of retaining the full core radiator. I have a few turbo suggestions as well depending on your power goals and space issues....

 

250-300whp

 

In that case, i would go with a SPoolin log manifold and a smaller turbo WITH a B housing (fitment). I have a GT3255b on my stock block GSR and it spools very quickly on my SLS shorty. I would suggest it to most anyone with your power goal in mind...it would also fit well since it's a compact unit.

If you click the link in my sig, there's a dyno graph listed so you can see how it performs.

 

Nice! 314 on stock internals?!

What kinda boost were you running. Figure if I run a bit less I might not spin a bearing

Where can I get a Spoolin manifold, is there a vendor on h-t?

Thanks for the advice mang!

315 (314.8) on stock internals on 91 octane, yes.

I was running a hair over 10psi to get that kind of power. The GT3255b is a good turbo for the lower boost applications of stock internal builds. It spools rather fast (3800rpm full boost on the street) and pulls hard through redline. If you want more info on this turbo, lets talk via PM.

As for the SPoolin manifold, search the Marketplace for ProjectDC2 and for SLS parts, find PSI2HI...btw, i use all SLS stuff on my car

 

My old setup:





Greddy kit. The only thing you have to do is to place a slim fan (on both sides of the rad is possible).

 

Awesome thanks for all your help guys!

I'll pm you Schister66 when it comes time for the turbo, i'm gonna start ordering all the little **** first!

There is no log manifold that will clear full size radiator into a crx. Here is one we did for a customer, lowest the turbo would go, they can't be placed any lower. A t3 might.. might fit. You can only place the flange down so far on these log manifolds, or else you have to start cutting into the runner port, and then you have a huge gap.



Your best bet is to use a cast iron manifold, or use a half size radiator so you have more options.

 

Wasn't there a picture of a CRX with a ramhorn, AC and a full core radiator floating around here a while back?? If so, Jesus himself must have made that fitment miracle.

I vote half length, dual core radiator like i have on my GSR

what was the model number on the pwr radiator you used with the crx fullrace traction bar setup?

A ram is totally different then a log though, a ram places the turbo closer to the block.

I don't remember the model number, but I got it off full-race's website: here the link.....http://www.full-race.com/catal...a820e


here is a pic of my old setup before I cleaned up the engine bay (don't have the car anymore)............
