I've recently started researching on building a turbo motor for my crx, i basically know what motor i'm gonna build (built b20/gsr head) but then started to look at manifolds and turbos, and got lost....I'm pretty sure i want an sc61. But will a top mount fit in an ef? I'd like to make 550 at the wheels. So with that said i was figurin a 4" dp/exhaust setup would be needed. And the only way i've seen that possible is a top mount. So please all info is greatly appreciated, also some pics would be nice, so i can see the radiator setup and intercooler configuration. THANX for the help in advance.....

also if you think that turbo is not enough for what i want, throw out your opinion..... i've only built street turbo motors with smaller turbos. So the real high horsepower bigger turbo thing is new to me.....

 

That was done by 93H22ACX on a standard style full-race manifold and an open 3" downpipe. A 4" downpipe absolutely is not required at 550 WHP. An SC61 is a good choice for 550 WHP.

 

I think it would fit as long as the manifold positions the turbo as close to the head as possible.

 

I found these pics while searcing for "crx" "top mount" in the forced induction forum.

 

but i need a pic with the radiator setup mainly, i'm sure it will fit but i gotta cool the motor off to ya know..... and thanx for the advice....

 

Radiator fits fine with my setup, if you live near Aurora you can stop by and see it for yourself in a few weeks when the engine is back in.

 

i'm not living in illinois at this point in time, but when i get back in a few months i'll defintely make it a point to come see it

 

on a stock x-member u will never fit a 4" downpipe

i have a 2.5" on my setup and barely clear it

u NEED a Jimfab x-member

 

yah i plan on running a different x-member, i was pretty sure that 4" wouldnt fit with the stock x-member, thanx for the info guys your helping a lot :-)

 

Why not get liquid to air intercooler instead of a top mount with a hood scoop.

Edit: Kinda funny, but sort of top mount related. https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=2

Wow, you really have no clue.

 

yah i think he's lost....scottek do you have any recent pictures of your engine bay? just curious.......

 

Well right now my engine bay is empty, give it about two weeks and there should be an engine in there and I'll get you those radiator pics you've been asking about.
