I have a 91 crx with a b16 swap, has anyone turboed this before, there dosent seem like alot of room?

 

I have heard of people doing this, and revhard makes a kit that will fit a crx w/b-series engine in it..... dont know if the others will fit too but you should ask in the forced induction section they might have a better answer for ya....

 

yeah theres enough room.....my buddy has a trboed b16a in his rex!! HTH!!!

 

I want to see this! I have an 89 rex and with the b16 in there its a really tight fit,but, ive seen it done before...i just want to see more of this. can i see a pic?

 

first things first, what mounts do you have in there? place racings mounts put your motor closer to the radiator and the hasport ones lean it back closer towards the firewall. But ive seen people with both fit a turbo in there, what i would do is get a half sized dual core radiator from a teg that way itll give you more room for piping. or you could get those really thin fans that i believe spal makes, that should give you more room, also, do you have ac?

im using place mounts, and i have a place racing crossmember. i do have the smaller radiator and i dont have a/c. it gave me alot more room in there when i swapped radiators and crossmembers, but, the manifold i got positions the turbo far away from the block so its kinda like sticking out way too far that the exhaust side of the turbo is blocked by the radiator! i believe my manifold is a drag 3 one, im not sure. ive seen a few personal websites that have turboed hybrid crx's and it looks damn mean...

links to two sites that has a turboed hybrid crx's.. one is a true sir crx with a custom turbo and the other is a b18 powered crx with a custom turbo too.. by the way the ls powered rex's turbo is for sale for like 1900 bucks obo!!!!!

 

no AC! DAMN! dont come to Az , my AC went out.....I almost died. my car doesnt over heat...heh....i do!

 

yeah when i do my b18b turbo i am not giving up on my ac, try driving in 100degree weather in dress clothes to work. Talk about sweaty armpits!

 

HEy chris!!!! i have been looking for you!!!. I dont think he has any mounts besides factory rewelded mounts. It sure didnt look like a lot of room when i saw it but there is a first for everything. Chris call me on my new line for the business and give me your number again. 856-566-3556. Jim

 

My friend has a 91 crx with a b16 turboed and he had to cut, reposition some of the mounts and reweld them to make room for the turbo. He has since ran a best of 11.2 with a complete stock b16.

 

i just finished puting a greddy turbo on a b16 in an 88 CRX-its a tight fit, and there is some modifications you will have to do, but beleive me, it is all worth it!!

 

It will fit, I have a friend with a B18c and a T3/T4 turbo, with lots of piping for the Intercooler, he is using the stock radiator, and fans. It fits perfect, he even has the Placeracing mounts which give it even less room. but it works and Oh my god it is fast. he ran a 13.9 on street tires burning them all the way down, at only 3psi holy **** 3psi.

 

this is the post ive been looking for!!!! hey im thinking about putting a greddy kit on my crx with a b16. could you let me know what you had to modify and what you did to make the kit fit. did you use the civic si kit? all your information is appreciated. and what do your motor mods consist of. Emal me if you wish and we can swap car pics. Email: Antirawker@aol.com
