Thinking of going turbo with a 87 crx
Hey, I don't actually have the car yet. But I'll probably have it within 2 weeks. Anyways, I have a buddy who can do alot of the fab work to build a custom turbo setup for the rex. I'm thinking of pulling a turbo from a DSM and working around that. Am I nuts? I fairly new to Honda's but I'm looking for a high 13 sec. daily driver. So any suggestions regarding info and part choices will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was reading that page http://coolazz.tripod.com/turbo.html. How much will this set-up vary when trying to adapt it to a 1stgen? Oh yeah, am I dreaming of running high13's/low 14's with a custom set-up with an IC?

So how much hp would I be looking at on a stock motor? I'm seriously thinking of doing that custom one from the link above. Has anyone built a crx following the instructions on that site? I'm hoping for close to 200 at the wheels.

Anyone have a Civic or CRX(that runs) for less than 1500 for sale in IA, IL, WI or MN. I'm located in the very southwestern part of WI, if that helps.
