Hello. Ok, first of all, I have a 1991 CRX DX converted to MPFI, with a few bolt on mods. (Everything else internally is stock). I have been doing a lot of research on turbos, etc. I want to go a fairly cheap route. Although, I want to get a nice turbo manifold, and bolt a used turbo to it. Is there anything else I need to consider? Do I still have to use larger injectors? And as far as management goes, what would I need? (just something basic, and not too expensive). I would only be running around 6-7psi of boost. (probably).

Hehe, it's kindof funny, my brother has an '86 Acura Legend(v6, all stock), and he can still beat me in a drag race, I got him off the line, (he has an automatic) but then, to my dismay, he zooms pass me.

So, a simple turbo setup, for some nice power, and so I can beat him! Well, thanks in advance.

Hey welcome to Honda Tech.

Well, as for the turbo questions, you may want to just wait until you can post in the forced induction area OR try using the search thing on the top right hand corner of your screen. There is a few years worth of stuff all archived in there for you to research, it is very helpful.

Good luck!

 

for a good manifold go to http://www.spoolinperformance.com

Nice and cheap is hard unless you get a good deal or used one. I'm not sure what you're idea of nice is, but if it's a quality tubular design manifold then you'll be looking at about $500+ and even a good cast manifold will be $300+. An SS Autochrome mani or a STD/HF manifold would be the best bang for the buck.

There's quite a lot to consider when forcing air into you motor...

Technically no, but honestly if you plan to do it right you will need larger injectors and a high flow fuel pump.

An FMU will do the trick to get you up and running, a VAFC/SAFC with 450 DSM injectors and hack is a little better, then of course you could get your ECU socketed and run some D.I.Y. Hondata style tuning like Uberdata, Turbo Edit, Ghettodyne, etc.

 

Save your motor,dont do the AFC hack.
