Looking for your BEST real world experience(s) with turbo manifolds and D/P's for the CRX. Don't need speculation or my buddy stories, just first hand stuff. What engine, turbo, size D/P, wastegate, fitmnet issues etc....
Looking to boost an LS in the rex and want as few headaches as possible
Tried a search and came up short

= length stainless ramhorn. Custom made. 38mm tial on front of Mani, T3/t4, 3" DP, half size rad, Full race tractoin bars...

Hope it all fits for me

 

You don't have the car running in that configuartion yet?

 

Here are two I used.

OBX = ****. Made good power, but cracked a lot.
LoveFab SST = mediocre. Great design, but cracked too.

Go with a Full Race equal length.

 

i'm rockin a krbfab k.a. manifold, 3inch dp, vband. 300 hp on a bone stock crx. sc61 turbo. damn sexy stuff from krbfab!

 

How was the fitment and the finish? What length of time you been running the stuff?
Good stuff fellas, thanks. Keep 'em coming!

Noone else running a turbo set up in a CRX? Or am I asking the wrong questions??

 

fitment on my manifold was great. couldn't ask for better fitment. pm lostcrx, as he has a krbfab.com ramhorn on his crx. looks great too

 

my setup is in these pics in the link

Its a custom = length ... we had to move the runner closer to the other runner on the rad side to clear the fluidyne. Makes great power for my current pump gas tune. Just watch out nothing in my car fit and I had to make everything but turned out great

EF Turbo
Simplicity

O yeah ... its a GT40 with a tial v-band 44mm gate / 3in dp and the motor is a built ls

Best guess if you just wanted a fun car go with just a inline pro ... its what I had before showed great power and never cracked also fits 100% easier than messing with half rads and cutting this on doing that.. Just bolt in and go

 

I don't mind fab work at all, done it on everything I've ever owned. I just am looking for the best direction before I purchase anything. I will build my own manifold if driven to it, but being my first jump into a turbocharged Honda I would prefer someone elses trial and error

You aren't asking the wrong questions, but you would probably get better luck in the F.I. forum.
Or you can check out http://www.homemadeturbo.com. Just make sure you search around the site first, some of them are pretty bad search *****. HTH.

 

Thought I'd ask in the model specific forum first.
