i was just wondering wat type of upgrades would be necassary to upgrade to a turbo kit for a b16 engine in a 88 crx

 

huh? be more specific

 

like wat kind of engine upgrades would be necassary before installing the engine and any other upgrades that are completely necassary before puttin on the turbo

 

How much HP you plan on making?

 

around 250 i already have a full exhaust system and chipped and programmed spoon sports ecu

Well the stock B16a can handle 250hp easy..

Get some bigger injectors though and a bigger fuel pump,,The fuel pump from a gsr is good for 300+ hp and is queit,,And what ecu do you have?? Pw0/pr3 ecu?? If so look into a program like BRE for controlling the motor..Check out BRE here http://forum.pgmfi.org/viewfor...a1949..you'll have to register to view..

 

maybe even less hp i just want to do as little mods as possible other than the turbo because i am kinda pressed for cash i found a nice garrett turbo kit for less than a $1000 and just wondering wat its absolutely a must when upgrading the engine to turbo

If you stay around 200hp you can get away with stock fuel pump and injectors and just get ecu tuning..but you must get rid of that spoon program as that is for an N/A car and has the wrong timing..Which will blow up your motor if you boost..You could always run an FMU with high flow in-line fuel pump if you're only boosting like 6 or less psi but more then that and the fmu setup will run crazy rich and it wont be good...So like I said the best thing is get bigger injectors,bigger fuel pump and ecu tuning..Also if you plan on boosting past around 11psi you'll have to get a different map sensor..THe stock one is only good to around ~10psi-11psi..

 

ok, lets start out simple...do you already have the mpfi?, if not you have to convert to it, going to need mounts, axles, shift linkage

 

i have to engine installed

 

dude stop typing so fast, go buy your 90-93 integra axles, si shift linkage, and find out if your crx came with a dual point fuel injection system..or if it is an HF model..then come back..

 

reply i have the axles and the shift linkage i got it when i got the swap it an si with a b16 in it

Do you have it running properly? Any codes?

 

the stock b16 can handle more then 250...HCI dyno tested how much a b16 can handle before it blew, it made 502 hp at 26 psi, it blew at 27psi...STOCK b16, only mods were the turbo kit, and an upgraded regulator

I have never heard that the GSR fuel pump was so good, that is great information. is the installation the same as installing a CRX fuel pump?

 

If you a tight for money just use a fmu, and get a walbro fuel pump there $99 it will get it running ok. I would recommend gitting hondata or Neptune it would be so much safer and make some more power. It would be worth the money

Yeah it goes in like stock..The dohc vtec fuel pumps flow 130lph and the sohc and dohc nonvtec flow I think around 70-80lph..Best thing is you can get gsr fuel pumps cheap as hell and they're quiet..

 

get it tuned asap when u do get the turbo
