We at LHT Performance just finish what I consider to be a big accomplishment. Putting a turbo onto a crx with a 3 inch downpipe while keeping the A/C system and still keeping the full size radiator. To my knowledge you don't see this very often. Setup consists of an LHT manifold, dowpipe, piping, and a hybrid LHT/Precision ball bearing turbo. Setup was tuned with Hondata but we will keep the Num,bers hush hush at customers request

 

I will try to get some pics when the customers brings it back for a check up. For those that know the CRX, it used to be supercharged and intercooled, but the 270 ish wasn't enough.
This was a very fun car to build and tune.

 

do u noitce any lack of power while a/c is running?how does a alum. rad work?what i mean is do u noitce any rasie in temp. cause turbo will create massive heat.do u have your turbo wraped? to keep the temps down somewhat?

 

what turbo manifold are you using, intercooler, how long it take you to do this? got more pictures? wanna see how its done.

 

if u read his post its a LHT manifold! so i imagne its fabed in house.and i would like to know how long it took from start to finsh to do the mani too?

 

To keep the temps down and the AC blower cold, we used to SPAL pusher fans( in front of the condensor) and one SPAL puller fan in the stock location. It doesn't get about 190 deg the whole time here in Florida.

The manifold is one we build ( For builds only, we don't sell them yet) , The intercooler uses a Garrett core and we build the end tanks.The turbo is a custom from Precsion turbo, we keep the specs hush hush.

 

sorry i just looked at the pics. how much this cost all together? because i wanna have a/c and turbo

 

i see a jdm front end im want to see this whole car now

 

Can't wait to see the pics of the manifold. Equal length?

The advantage of the JDM front end is that you don't have to cut up the front bumper.

 

I'd tap that!

 

Nice and blingy!

yep, we don't see these setups very often.

BIG props squeezing all in there A/C with 3" downpipe???

damn! i can't see the pix

 

damn that sound like my kinda front bumper.i hate choping uo the front bumper.

 

More Pics!!!!

 

price price price

 

Too much bling under that hood for my liking...chrome sucks.

Other then that, NICE!

 

 

Thats jacks (I think thats his name) car right john?

any of you guys coming out to the next CFCRX meet this year...Jack usually comes..but havn't seen you out there in awhile.

anwyay...nice work.

 

That's just outrageous! I love it! Man I thought I was so cool with a turbo ZC and AC. But now I know I'm just an amateur!

Can we possibly get a shot looking straight down so we can see the distances between the mani/DP and the rad? That would be great!

And if you have to ask how much then you can't afford it! How can the guy give you an amount for a custom job with god only knows how many little custom items? Also I wouldn't want what I paid for some custom work to be all over the net.

 

sorry guys i dont have any more pics. Thanks for the nice responses!

 

finally i've seen the pix!

very very nice setup.

did you use the same EF A/C condenser? how thin are the push fans? i'm guessing you have installed it in-between the FMIC and the rad. was it a single push fan or dual push fans.

i hope you don't mind sharing some more info. thanks

 

nice work

 

Hey LHT guys I have a question, while building my car I contemplated a turbo and I also wanted to keep my AC. I ended up with your intercooler and what not (Extremely happy). So my question..... how did you guys get the charge pipe to the intercooler that's in front of the AC condenser and radiator?? That seemed to be my big issue. There is know way to get the pipe to come off the turbo and around to the front of those 2 units. PLUS, you have to do it twice, once to the intercooler and then out to the throttle body. There is absolutely Zero room. Is your intercooler behind the radiator? Please let me know, or post a better picture

...nice work BTW

They most likely went under the radius arm on the drivers side, or cut a hole through the frame in that section. I would suggest an easier route - up & over to the washer fluid filler area, cut the chassis a bit, drop down, to the fmic, then the other side is easy after a battery relocation in the trunk.

Also, you may need to move the condensor back a little bit, as the lower connection eats up some space for the fmic.
