How's that for a deal!

:D

:eek: :huh: :huh:


For real?

Mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D


Sweet! when do you get it? and what else do you need to start the install?

Jeeeezus ya lucky thing! I got quoted $10k for an HKS one for my car. :(

I get it next week hopefully....i'll probably also need to get an injector controller like a PowerLink

Oh yeah...here are some pics...

Nice! Very very nice!

There must be $500 worth of HPC coating there alone! :eek:

How used is the hairdryer? it looks like its been acid dipped then quickly painted to tidy it up for sale? would hate to go the same was as Vince's.

I take it the kit has come from another CRX? so you know it will all fit?

And yes you will need a controler if you want to run the 2nd injectors.
Of course if your only wanting to run low boost to start off with then I wouldn't bother. The stock ECU should handle about 5psi with little or no trouble.
Anymore and you need to start worring about internal mods.

very very very nice!!!

as soon has i saw turbo for sale on the nzhondas forum i knew you would be in with a grin :D damn thats cheap for the setup, hehehehe psssh

so have you done your interior yet??

I'm going to check the turbo for play in the bearings etc. The guy who is selling it has never fitted it to his CRX, so as far as I know it was used a little prior to being sold to him. I think the turbo was reconditioned by him...just got to check out on this, and I have since found out the BOV doesn't come with the kit...never mind:(

I will probably run about 6-7psi to start with, buy a second ZC and build it, and then when the first ZC blows, i'll chuck the new engine in and run about 12-14psi.

Here's the i/c

damn worshp, your car justs gets better and better, you are one lucky somma beotch, $500, thats nothing. give us some 1/4 times when its up and running:D

damn you... why can't i ever find a deal like that jeesh some guys have all the luck :finger:

He he he!!!:D:D

Now to find a second ZC...hmmm, one for $150...one for $200.....I love living in NZ!!!:D

You wont when you have to order rods and low c/r pistons from the states. :D


But remember all that money and all that extra power and Vince still chose a B16a as his prefered engine. :cool:

If I wanted a rocket, i'd have bought the space shuttle.;)

Sweet Worshp :)

When I dropped a Rayjay onto a 1G I had it reconditioned to be on the safe side. It turned out that the impeller shaft was out of true and the bearings were on their last legs, even though it looked fine. Maybe get it checked (and the intercooler checked for leaks) just in case?

Damn good buy mate :D

Hey Moppie - it's time's like this I hate owning an SiR - I'd never get the courage up to drop a turbo on it - even though I'd like to :)

Why? Running 6psi Worshp is still only just going to have as much hp as we are. Fully built running 12psi and he will have more, but its nothing that some Mild street cams won't fix, on stock internals :D
Add that turbo with 6psi, and whoooo mate! By by Worshp. Dont even ask what fully built with 12psi will do. :eek:
(of course Worshp would be able to do it twice for the same money :( )

And haveing driven a turbo'd FWD car with about 170hp (old DOHC Turbo 323) I have to say my SiR would walk all over it on a Track. Boost is good, but only when you have somewhere to put it. Sending 200hp (b16a on 5-6psi) to the frount wheels might sound like fun, but think about how much trouble we have now with wheel spin, then double it :frog:

I could go an ITR intake cam, but anything more is getting scary and hard to put on the road. :sun:

Thanks for the vote of confidence dude...much appreciated:rolleyes:

A 323 FWD Turbo suffers from terminal torque steer even in stocko form, so comparing that to a CRX's handling isn't quite right...besides, I don't think I will be track racing until the big brakes are fitted (I have found some 4 spot 300ZX calipers and am currently looking for some decent rotors to go with them).

P.S. the Cyber CRX with ZC and turbo running 12psi ran 13.2 sec 1/4 mile. That is fast enough for me for street driving.

Oh I have complete confidence in you.
The 323's were shit cars and it was totaly unfair to compare one to your Rex.

With the amount of rubber you have I dont think you will have that much trouble getting the power to the road. And if you remember how much less you car weighs than mine with only 5-6psi you should be alot faster in a straight line. :finger:

LMAO!

I don't care if I run 15's in the 1/4....my rex is for looks not speed;)

Then prehaps you should sell that Trubo to someone who might use it. Like SiRidge. :D

I'm just not going to run down the 1/4 expecting big things that's all.;)

hmmm...congrats on the turbo kit. I just think that the power numbers quoted here are a little bit optimistic. A guy from school with a full show CRX had a ZC turbo running 6 psi with a built motor, exhaust etc. and on the dyno it only pulled 140hp. Factoring in driveline losses that's still 170hp max. Anyone wanna discuss this or explain this to me?

Well the ZC only has about 130hp stock. So a gain of 40odd hp is damn good from only 6psi.
Its only 10hp more than a stock B16a1 or the same hp as a B16a2. :D

Fully built with rods pistons etc and running about 12psi I would expect a good 220+hp. Which makes for one damn fast little rex!

Yeah, I was only working on a rough figure of 20% driveline losses. Still, it didn't seem very much.

Jackson Racing built a turbo setup for the ZC and got 203bhp at the flywheel out of it in stage 3 spec with 6psi boost. That's running stock compression with most of the stuff that Worshp has. I'd guess that 180bhp would not be out of the question... and I know he'll have more torque than a B16 could ever dream of in a NA config :)

Don't forget that you can't compare wheel dynos either as rarely will any two give the same results. Wheel dynos are there to examine improvements, not to benchmark a car's output.

Doesn't the lsd stop it from spinning too much?

I'd be happy with 180-200hp at the fly....plus the torque figures are what will really impress me on the road...ahhhh the rush of boost when the turbo comes on song:D:D

What LSD???? :confused:

Limited slip differential? What i'm sayin is that... will it help to grip the road more and reduce too much wheel spin...cause i thought thats what its for?

...and what moppie is saying is that the Si CRXs didn't come with a LSD, worshp's doesn't have one, hence there is no LSD to help get traction to the ground. :)

Yeah i figured...i just wanted to rephrased it thats all:)
