I have a 88 CRX with a ZC swap. I'm planning a turbo system for it. Here's what Ive come up with so far. boost from 6-14 psi on stock internals?

Walbro 255 pump
RC 440 injectors (maybe 550)
Tial BOV and wastegate
Piping and intercooler, Manifold and downpipe.
Hondata ECU (S200?)
Pressure reg.

As far as a turbo I'd like to go with either a T3/T4 BB or a GT30R.

Basically I'm going to run this until it blows the switch to a B16A with rods and pistons. For those of you who have done, this I'd love to hear your thoughts/opinions/ideas.

 

are you going with obd1?

 

Good question.. I'm using the integra ECU and have'nt read too much about the hondata unit . (honestly I dont fully understand the difference between OBD0 andOBD1). 'splain please

 

well if you go with 14psi get that b16 rdy

Yeah.......its doubtfull you will run very long on stock internals at 14psi....even with good tuning... Stock D series rods aren't up to the task and neither are the cast pistons.

If you want to run that much boost do eagle rods and forged pistons.

 

^word, once you start doing that much boost the stock internals wont handle it and b00m!!!!

I wholeheartedly recomend planoguy36 spends some time on the forced induction forum with the search feature....you will fine anything above 9 psi on sock guts is courting disaster.

</TD></TR></TABLE>fuel pump (good, im still using my stock pump) instead of the rc injectors.... get some dsm blue tops(440cc) they go for $60 tops(set) as far as hondata...dont waste your $$ since your using an integra ecu, use turbo edit(obd-0) it's free software so you just have to get your ecu chipped.


im about to turbo my 2nd car, but my current turbo set up is: dohc zc(in a '91 civic) hf manifold, t-25 turbo, dsm 440 injectors,pr4 ecu with turbo edit, and an eclipse bov and jrc front mount intercooler

 

ZC turbo baby thats what im talkin bout. I got my **** being built now. Ima put it all together when i get back from iraq. Strokin out my zc. For rods and pistons hit up dh-racing.com he got 800$ combo with rings and everything. ARP studs and headgasket and u be straight. If u need arp part number hollar i got it some where on my favorites

 

Eagle rods
forged pistons
check out forced induction forum
no more then 9psi for now
DSM blue top 440 cc jectors
chipped ECU with turbo edit
t-25 is that ball bearing?
pr4
and dh-racing .com

anything else? I'm writing this all down. thanks 'rexer's

 

you ever check out zdyne.com they do good ecu conversions fully tunable while running they have been doing it for long time and got good info on site

 

Hay Va.dude. Forced Induction Forum.. what a novel idea.. sorry, I didnt see that before I posted. I'll come back when my IQ reaches 100. Thanks.. it lookd like theres a crapload of stuff there for newbies like me. But dont call me stupid yet , I'm just gettin started with this turbo stuff.. BTW, whats "trim" and why does it matter...?

 

if its a dohc zc then its a ok motor to turbo. it can hold around 10lbs of boost no problem. i have know a couple people to do that for a really long time and never had a problem.

he used the old greddy kit with a 15g turbo off a stealth r/t with some dsm 450 and a afc with a dsm sidemount and it pulls pretty hard and it was really simple to do

the headgasket will go before the rods or pistons.
on a d series anyways. put a better headgasket and some arp head studs and you can push 13 with stock internals.

im speaking from experiance

 

Rockn.. My roomate mentioned something about that..a copper gasket? Have any leads on a "better gasket"? sounds easier then replacing the rods but it is kinda a throw-a-away motor. BUT If i can build it to stand more psi, I'd much rather do that then the hassle of replacing it with a B16. KEEP'm coming, i'm all ears!

 

i am running 10psi on my dohc zc with stock internals. i have a hks metal headgasket and tunertoyz 450cc injectors. just make sure you get it tuned good and you will not have any problems.

 

Ok after spending the afternoon reading about PR, BSFC, A/R, Lbs/min, compression maps, tirm, exducer, inducer, etc, I've almost come to a conlcusion that at 10psi my best turbo should be a T04E50. Right in the fat part of that "effiecny island" Any confirmations or differing opinions? see I am getting smarter. Thanks for your conintueing tolerence
