Default What do you think I should do?...

I have two choices on what to do with my CRX...

1st choice:

- Finish up my turbo setup, and boost my stock ZC. The motor is in very good condition, however, I do need to rebuild the tranny. My input bearing is shot. While I'm in there I would also install a quaife. I would tune the motor for around 200 streetable HP. If I went this way, I would need to wait till next year to build my spare motor.

2nd choice:

- Finish up the "Built ZC", and just wait till next year to boost. I don't have the funds to finish up the build this year along with the turbo setup.

This is not my daily driver, so it's not an incredibly important car for me. I'm sure that may effect some people's choice.

Thanks for any input...

Well since your tranny is need of care anyway. First choice is good because you need to do that anyway and you'll have fun with your car.

Good things come to those who wait. While you're waiting, you can just ship me all of your turbo stuff and I'll let you know how it does on my ZC.

Hahahhaha....***.

Well It looks like I will be just getting another ZC tranny for 150 bucks, and then setup the car with the SC32 setup. I will then tune the car to make around 200 streetable HP. I will then be able to race the car this season, build up the motor over next year, and "unveil" it next year... . In other words, it will allow me to put a lot more time/money into the engines development. The last thing I want to do is put all this money into the engine, and not have it perform.

Thanks for your help sonny,
Bryson

Well bryson, i finished my turbo(somewhat) nd it feels decently fast. I need help tuning it but thats no biggie. I would say If you have 2 motors boost one now and save the money to build up the other later. This way you can still have fun while building up the other motor.
Oh yeah, the reason that my setup isnt finished is because the o2 housing runs right into the cross member. I have to by a flange from rre and then make my own. I wish it would have bolted up but what can you do. the adapter makes it sit tooo lolw and there is a bad angle, but anyway, come down to sunny san diego and we will race . You know that i will be faster if you keep that crappy 5k altitude times . anyway thanks for your help with my setup.
