im about to buy a crx si with a 0bd1 ls motor what kind of turbo do u guys recommend i was lookin at no more then 8 to 10 pounds on hi boost and liek 5 dd lets hear some good setups ppl

 

Research and build your own to suit your needs.

 

yea ur right i was lookin and the t3t4 .57 trim doesnt sound bad at all for wat i want

 

yeah, the forced induction forum might be helpful, just a thought. Since there is plenty of turbo setups there, find one that sounds close to what you need.

bump for the help guys still lookin

 

Yeah the t3/t4e is a good turbo for the ls motor..T3 60 trim is nice to,less lag but needs more boost to make the same power..

I made over 300whp with a t3/t4e on a b16 at 10 lbs..ls motor cant flow worth **** so ill guess it will make 250whp with a good tune

Since the car is obd1 look into crome for fuel management,,its a real nice program

 

yea i its tuned on etc the new chrome program its liek basically brand spankin new or atleast thats wat the kid that seelin the car to me is sayin i heard about it suppose to be god

 

thanks for the help guys still debating on a manifold gonna save up for a top mount cuz that is pretty baller and more space for a nice koyo if it can fit i got big plans for this thing so hopefully i get it soon

 

i have a friend who took a turbo off of a 1g eclipse and put it on his 90 civic. He had it tuned to 9-10 pounds. That was a great choice for a turbo. He didn't have any lag and it spooled up fast. He never once had any problems with the car, it was actually one of the faster hondas ive seen. If you where wondering the turbo code for a 1g eclipse is a td05h. I highly recomend this turbo. I am also wondering how a 16g turbo would be on a honda? heres actually a picture and a movie of his car with the TD0H5 turbo on his 90 civic hatchback.(in the video don't mind the squeeky belt and the downpipe leak)

How much power are you wanting? Or what kind of cars do you want to be faster than? Answer this and it'll be easier to help you decide what turbo/manifold/intercooler will suit your needs best.

FYI, a topmount will not give you more clearance for a bigger radiator.

 

i was looking for now about 250 to about 300 on the stock motor for now with arp headstuds nothing to serious i kno my buddy got some cheap kit ran a 12.8 with a block guard on 6 psi in a 90 si with a b18a1 in it so that would be liek the goal low 13 sec high 12 dd that will be reialbe and actually i thought about wat u said and ur right it wont fit a big radiator the top mount plua way to much money

 

For 250-300 whp I'd definately go with a t3/t4 57 trim or even a precision sc50. Those are a good mid sized turbo that will give you good/decent spool and won't force you to run high psi to reach your goal. I can tell you right now, 250-300 whp will get you well into the 12's if you're a decent driver, or get to be. As for your manifold, I would say get a good quaility log mani or even a shorty like the spoolin quick 4 or lovefab mini-me. Anything else will make clearance hell and would be overkill for your goals, not to mention taking away a lot of good low end. Stick with a medium sized intercooler like a 28x6x3 to avoid excessive pressure drops. Walbro 255 lph fuel pump and some 550cc injectors with a good tune + mentioned turbo setup should net you a good 250-300whp. Just remember, keep the stock LS below 7k rpms... It may feel like it still wants to pull but spun rod bearings and dropped valves ruin your day real fast.

Definately spend some time reading and browsing in my sig thread.

 

I used a meutek manifold,they cheap and strong as hell,pefect wastegate placement..if you get it make sure to get the elbow they offer or else the hood wont shut..

 

my buddy is running a t3 60trim and he is producing some pretty good numbers.

 

so found out wat turbo it gona be thanks all u guys for the help and thanks quarter for all the good info well im buyin this crx in a week or two so will put pics up once is in my hands
