I am 16 and just decided to buy a 1991 honda CRX. I just dont know where to start with my modifications. I know I am goingto put a twin turbo, intake, filter, etc... I am just not sure what to swap for. I dont get all the B-16a and zc and d15 crap. If someone could help me I would be most grateful.

break down of engine codes first letter - motor family, two numbers engine size in liters, last letter/number is the generation of the motor. If you want to turbo then the B18 would probably be your best shot, as it is a low compression motor that is known for its boosting ability.

icE x: I have about 15,000
TheSilentChamber: Thanks. I'll check out the B18 since I am going turbo.

Study it..
Read the EF forums, and do LOTS of searching and reading and lots of searching and lots of reading.
No one can answer your vague questions here.. You gotta learn what you want out of your car, and how much moolah you want to spend to get there.. Lots of reading and learning.
BTW - NO twin turbo for you. You need to read LOTS.

-Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4

Before you buy anything, buy yourself a HELMS MANUAL, and study it day and night, then get your self some goodies

cashmoneyind's Friend - Oh I hope your getting some street glow and a some APC parts.
cashmoneyind - Well those too, but IM GETTING A FILTER...I might even splurge and get a K&N cuz this one time I saw a commercial while watching Pimp My Ride and it had a commercial and it said this dude ran a fast quarter mile and i was like, tHatS mAd tYte y0!!
cashmoneyind's Friend - Oh shit, I seen that, I seen that. I taped Pimp my Ride cuz I was putting my new TRD stickers on my Civic.
cashmoneyind - Nah K&N sux0r...I'll definately have to get a blue APC filter with some APC breather filters so they can match my blue valve cover and blue valve stem lights and street glow
:rofl:

I know I could have just went out and bought a 300zx or a rx-7, but i wanted to have the satisfaction of taking something a little worse and build it to that level.
I got paid $400 a month delivering papers since I was 12. And now I have been landscaping for 1.5 years. It all added up

i'll give you your props lil buddy, somebody need too... that takes a lot of self restraint to save cash like that... any way, due to many factors, especially space it is almost impossible to do a twin turbo... i'm sure you could some how manage to work one out but man that'd be a lot of fabrication and money... the best thing you can do at this point is read the forums, look through old posts and learn... and def. form a complete game plan before buying anything, figure out what kind of engine you want to run how much boost you'll want, and all that fun stuff... but most of all enjoy the build

also i was thinkn about this. Would it be possible to blow a turbocharger into the intake of a supercharger which is connected to the engine's intake. just a theory
TheSilentChamber
08-15-2004, 01:57 PM
its a theory, but its a shitty theory. I'v seen it done but to no avail. Its pointless and will cause problems because of the eratic boosting. I'v read alot of studies that show that a single, properly sized and tuned, turbo works better and more effecient than twin. But then again the first car to his sub 9's was running two turbos. I'll give you props for saving the money also. Dont take offence but I think your one of the ones who has got (unfortionatly) got caught up in all this fast and furrious hype. Need to learn before trying to just repeat stuff you've heard.
