I know it's not possible, but why would someone do it? has anyone heard of or seen a twin turbo crx? if you have post the links and or picture on here...

WTF, twin turbo crx? a twin turbo 4 banger? STFU,GTFOH, If it has anything besides a honda motor its not a CRX anymore. if you turn it to RWD its not a CRX anymore.

i know, some idiots i was talking to said that there was one, i said the same thing (about the 4 banger)...but nothing registered with the kids, now i will show this to them to make them feel even more stupid b/c they're set on it's possible...

 

its POSSIBLE. but would it be a good idea? no, hahahahha, there idots. and I suggest not sharing the same air with them. you might catch it.

 

i know, i'll try to stay far far away from them...

If it's not possible, no one could do it. I guess no one here has seen the twin turbo Miata using Volvo S80 turbos. Different application, same idea.

Be careful, with statements like this, you could be mistaken for ignorant. Open minds sometimes lead to better things.

 

Abaz on honda-tech and homemadeturbo.com fabbed up a twin turbo setup on his crx. I believe it was on a b16a or an ls/vtec. It can be done but it is just not practical imo.

 

Yeah that setup was done well over a year ago. It was a pretty sweet writeup he did on it too.

 

I also heard some did a TT setup on a D15 just because someone told him he couldn't. However, this is just a rumor that I heard a couple years ago.

 

could a CRX even spool two turbos? im sure it could run two small ones but y take up space for that...but i guess bragging rights to a twin turbo crx would be alright if it worked

 

Hm....just make 2x2 intake manifolds, 2x2 exhaust systems and then just do "the ordinary turbo stuff"?

 

That's one way, but not the best. That leaves 0.9 liters to spool each turbo. A sequential setup would yield better results.

but do they even make a turbo small enough to be the first in that sequential style setup?

it just doesnt seem practical to me, when a single turbo can easily blow up most motors, and a t25 spools up really quick as is.

Your opinions. It's not practical, but it is possible. And how about putting in a Honda motor/tranny that was made for an RWD/AWD car?

It was done on an LSVTEC about a year ago, I've seen videos on it, they never posted them on homemadeturbo.com though. It used the turbos off of a twin turbo subaru sti. Pretty nice setup actually, if you search you could probably pullup the writeup on it.

 

Here it is right here. Abaz took the pictures down though, but you can still see the post. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=850938

 

Whitey on HMT did a twin turbo setup as well on a D series....

Blaze

 

Seriously dont be so ignorent. I find it kinda funny that everyone praises a RHD conversion but knocks a twin turbo CRX. To each his own. Great things can devleop out of a "bad" idea. The comment about the two intake manifolds what is the deal with that??? Anyways.... Keep an open mind and dont say one way or another untill you know the facts.

Haha

Each turbo fills two cylinders each. But it was just a thought, and come to think of it, it would be a real pain to wire it up

 

Wouldnt you just merge the piping from each turbo to pass though the intercooler thats the way id do it.

 

I was the one that originally said the only TT on a crx was twin turbo originally stated in this theard: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1218138

Wow, who looks stupid now? Nothing Registered? You didn't even post in that thread! The post by egturbohatchback clearly stated that a twin turbo application on a 4 cylinder was done! I'm a stupid kid for stating something true?

I think you meant idiots, but, no I am NOT an idiot. Your closemindedness has caused you and 91sicrxer to flame me for something factual, that is possible and has been done before! Never did I say it was a good idea or not. Reread my posts in the thread if you wish.

I got the perfect way for you to stay far away from me... for a moderator to ban you. A tip for the future, act your age because right now you are acting like a 12 year old.

i don't know what this has to do with anything...you were talking about a a t-top and someone else mentioned a twin turbo 4cyl...

yeah maybe i didn't post in the thread...woop dee doo
and what i meant to say was yeah it was possible but would someone really get that much out of it?

now now...no need to make enemies over a pointless thread... i just want to start off by saying i never was refering to you as an idiot...in one of my classes there are a few freshman (i'm a senior (kinda pointless but it's whatever)) who don't even have cars...and can't even chgange their own oil...anyway they thought that a twin turbo crx and or a 4cly. would be insanely fast and i tried explaining to them that it wouldn't. i tried explaining the tri-turbo supra, which is a piece if you ask me...so yeah, they didn't believe me... so i created a thread to see if anyone has actually done it or not... and if they got a good deal of power out of it...

all i have to say about this is "really mature, let me tell you" oh and "ya got me!"

Yah that's what I would do too...no need for wo intake manifolds or anything like that.

I posted about this in a TT/CRX thread a long time ago. The main problem with the CRX is space. A sequential system is going to be a little more complex because of the boost control system. And sequential turbos are almost always the same size, one turbo does not "power" the other turbo. I'm just guessing, but I thini the best way to find out what sequential setup would be the best would be to compare the CFM of a big single to the combined CFM of two smaller turbos.

A parallel system would be the easiest to pull off though. You can feed each turbo off of two cylinders, and the turbos dont have to be next to each other. You can position one where you normally do, right in front of the exhaust manifold. Then you can run the second turbo around where the battery tray sits. IC piping can be run like normal for the turbo at the exhaust manifold, and for the second turbo at the battery tray you can either run some IC piping to the IC, or just run the compressor outlet directly into the charge pipe and bypass the intercooler.

Anyways, sequentials on a 4 banger is not entirely a stupid idea. The S2000 can run a seuqntial if somebody took the time to fab up a setup. The setup could be identical to an FD RX-7 sequential setup. They both have the exhaust manifold in the same place. And I'm willing to bet the S2K has enough exhaust gas flow to turn two turbos. A long time ago when I had my FD I did some number crunching to see what kind of CFM a stock S2000 and B18C push, and how that compares to an RX-7. I cant do it now, because I forgot how to calculate the CFM for a rotary. But maybe when I have the spare time I'll look it up.
