i would use the ls if u got it
and its all in a good tune for reliability
it can be a daily driver just dont go to big of #'s

 

decided to keep my rex so i gotta bring this back up... can i keep my a/c? i want a front mount but i dunno if it'll clear my fog lights and do you have to cut anything while installin the turbo kit?

can i use a greddy kit?

can someone post pics of their b series rex w/ turbo and a/c thanks alot

i searched no rex has a/c w/ turbo

Who said anything about affordable??

I'm doing a "similar" setup for a customer now. Full dual core radiator/B16/CRX.

 

We just finished a b16 35r fullrace kit on a crx with a jdm front end. Its using an innovative mounts front crossmember with a 92 to 95 civic radiator. Its a backdoor intercooler that didnt require too much trimming by the grill areas. A small area of the passanger side fog light duct area had to be trimmed to expose some of the intercooler piping.

i have fog lights

 

BTW, I just have to say...you have one SICK CRX my freind! Keep it nice and klean!

I actually just picked up an EF8 front bumper for my CRX, and just plan on cutting out part of the back to fit the IC. I'm also getting the IC anodized black to keep the nice and clean EF8 look.

If your willing to ditch the full-length rad, and A/C check out my CRX/EF specific manifold designs (sig). If not, I think the greddy kit would be a great option to look into.

 

really nice car man i love crx's keep it clean one day i predict they will be extinct

The mani and DP will work fine from the Greddy kit. The coldside piping will also work(dependig on which kit it is) . You would just need to remake the hotside.

 

i saw an apexi kit in a rex wonder if that would work..
