The only thing with turbo'd crx d16 engines is you need to do it right and take your time. I'm in the process of getting all my parts together. You need to take care of it like if it was a little baby. The best part is, if you blow the engine, Dseries are always cheap to get!

I gathered parts for about 6 months and I'm going on a little over two weeks of install time. This is because almost everything is being done custom in house. After being around some boosted cars latley and how fun this project is I don't think I'll ever have an N/A car again.

i started to boost mine, i had every thing lined up and it looked like it was going to fall in to place pritty nicely, but it seemed like i just woke up one morning and decided i wanted to go all-motor.

here's a mindless video of a boosted d15 in a 89 hatch.

it took 13 hours to fab the piping and downpipe and install. only costs about 1500 for everything including fuel management and head gasket stuff...i think...basically it's worth all the effort and pennies and if u have the opportunity to get turbo u wont be disappointed...unless u have problems blowing motors left n rite...
