I'm looking for ideas for a cheap sleeper build. I have a 90 crx si. Basically wondering what would be the easiest or cheapest way to get it into the mid-high 12s. Still want it to look slow however. So I wasn't sure if I should do a swap, or do the internals of the d16 and boost it. But, basically trying to do it without spending a ton...My mustang already takes up most of my time and money.

Thanks.

 

You could sell the mustang and build her properly to run 12's so you don't blow her up doing a cheap over powered build.

 

I'm just looking for a fast, fun, cheap daily driver. I don't mean cheap as in using bubble-gum and duct-tape to hold a turbo in. I mean, doing it right, but not spending a fortune and going overboard.

And I'd never sell my mustang for the crx. The whole reason I bought the crx was just to daily drive cause I can't do that with the mustang. Still no reason why I should get my *** handed to me by the crappier mustangs out there with owners who think they're gods. I think it's fun to have a stock, slow appearing car that will completely smack a good portion of the cars on the road. I know it was fun in Tall Kyle's crx with the old turbo setup...

 

yea..do it right... sell the mustang

 

buy a b18c5, supercharge it and lower it on hubcaps. but i bet that out of you proce range, so back yard turbo the d series

 

Yeah I would say buy two D's and turbo it. Since it'll be a DD running high boost I would have a spare motor on hand, but two D's are cheaper than a B16 so I'd say thats a very legitimate option.

 

b16a longblock
ls tranny
junkyard turbo
stealthmode D-I-Y turbo manifold
sourced and pieced intercooler pipes
dsm BOV
dsm 450's injectors
junk yard intercooler

or find a cheap complete turbo kit...


throw spinners on the rex. lol

naw but seriously, you can make nearly 190 to 220 hp from a boosted b16a turbo if you do your research.

you will probably never find the words cheap, reliable and fast in the same sentence.

 

it's like going to a shop and saying i want a fast car, there first question is how fast but it's how much.
