I was also wondering about the exhaust. i was thinking 2.5 in all the way back no cat or muffler.

Let me know what u all think.

i would go 3'' for the most power output 2.5'' will hold you back and cams are good but i hear sk2 pro1's do verry well on boosted aplications the rest looks solid i have some pro1's lmk if your interested. gl.

Definitely get at least a 3in down pipe and 3in full exhaust would be the way to go.

 

sounds like a beast. 3" exhaust for sure tho. 2.5 will restrict with that kind of power.

 

Going from 2.5 to 3 inch will not do a whole heck of a lot, unless you're pushing atleast 400. I seen a graph once where they did 2.5 and 3inch of exact same car and the gain was only 4 HP. For the cost, I don't know if it's really worth it, but to each their own I suppose. I say try the 2.5inch and see if you have problems. If you're shooting for 400 WHP, my guess is you'll be fine.

 

all i see here is blah blah blah and no pics. good job

 

Ill have pics up friday. I dropped my camera in a oil drain pan (oops) il be seeing my dad so i can borow his then.

 

Does any one know how loud a 3in str. Pipe will be. The thing is this is actualy going in a crx and its my DD

 

Turbos actually act as pretty good mufflers, dont get me wrong it will still make noise, but It wont be nearly as bad as a NA car

 

ditch the lightweight pully and get a ati or fluidamper. good luck with the rest.

 

Also you dont need the vacuum manifold with the victor x intake manifold. It has several spots to put fittings on it....rings will come with the pistons.....stock,ati,or fluid damper. No light weight solid crap unless you like breaking oil pumps and wiping out bearings...if you still have to do an exhaust , i would stick with a 3in, you know youll want more power later....you dont need adjustable cam gears unless the head or block have been severely milled, you also dont need the throttle body, the aluminum ones sometimes tend to have a sticking issue.....if youre going to mess with the valve train then you might as well go with tuner1s, pro 1s will make more power, but are slightly harder on the valve train...if you dont have the precision 880s already, I have a BNIB set for sale, pm if interested...

 

For sure go with 3" from the turbo back. I'd reconsider the 8:1 pistons, your off boost response is gonna suuuuuck with them. I'd go with stock axles, i'd rather break an axle than a tranny, keeping them stock is a nice safe easy to replace fail point

 

looks like a nice setup. i agree ditch the crank pulley. what size fuel lines are you running? have you replaced your fuel filter? what fpr are you running?

 

ditch the pulley, you motor will thank you.

 

Yup. Ditch the pully. Adding tuner1s will give you a lot more power, the Pro1s are overkill for your set up.

 

The setup is pretty good overall. I would suggest getting a 3" exhaust since you're already spending a lot of money. You may as well get a less restrictive exhaust. This will allow you to make more power safely and have a better powerband. For the extra few hundred bucks, you could stand to pick up an extra 50-75whp plus a gain of 1k rpm in spool...it's totally worth the upgrade

 

whats your opinions on an E-cutout

 

e-cutouts are nice if you daily the car and take it to the track quite often.

id just use stock axles. your not gonna break them up until around 600-700 wheel if you know how to preload correctly. tranny shouldnt break either.

3" exhaust will make all that much of difference. very noticeable.

and if it were me i would use tial products for the wastegate and bov.

also i would have gone with 10:1 pistons.

 

go with 3" trust me, i am wishing i did at first!!

and ditch that greddy bov they leak horrible

 

Another problem to deal with if an issue should arise. I have a B16 for a DD and I will be keeping a 2.5" exhaust with 9.9:1 pistons. I'll still have great response for the turbo, but I'm not going for crazy whp either (400 hp is my goal). It'll still be responsive when I'm not in boost too.

 

Ok...
All the stuff above i have already. Things im gona change. The n1 pully will go and ill get a fluidamper. Im also gona get a hondata intake gasket. I forgot to add that i have a aem fuel rail, as far as lines i think there all stock. When i start my 2.0 build ill upgrade with a second walbro and bigger lines but for now i think they will do. Also wondering about traction issues any recomendations for a crx as far as traction/sway bars tires and im thinking about a roll cage sience ive already got sparcos and 4pt harnesses. Let me get all ur ideas on this.

 

What is your power goal? That is the first thing to consider since that could really eliminate many of your options here. K.I.S.S.

I highly doubt you'll be needing to upgrade the fuel lines and pump, but I coulbe be wrong depending on your power goal.

 

 

my goal is around 450 or so. I was at about 250 before i blew her up and had traction issues thats why im asking about suspension.
