I was just thinking about building motors, and came up with an idea. You guys think bullet-proofing a CRX Si motor ($2000-3000 worth!) for boost be a good idea? I am sure getting parts for that motor would be a lot easier, and the motor itself would be really cheap (I can get one for cheap). I am planning on gettin everything redone internally, and get some machine work done as well (sleeving too!). I want to run like 12psi (without worries) off of a small, fast spooling turbo. What cha'll think

 

Go for it man. That is what I want to do with my b16a. If you are going to boost do it right the first time so it lasts.

 

That's what I plan to do. I'm (hopefully) going:

supra pistons
B16 rods
stock block and crank
ported STD manifold + custom done IC and piping
T3 turbo
VAFC boost "hack" (possibly hondata)

8-14 PSI...haven't decided yet
