Btw, would you or your hubby be mad if showed up to look at the project in about two months?

[JeepGirl]

well, i've decided not to go with your motor, sorry. but i have no way of getting it from there to here and i need to clean out the garage a bit more to store one (hasnt been cleaned since summer!!) so we decided to look for a engine locally after i toy around with the 1.3L carb/turbo firebreathing 1300CC's of RAW POWAH!!! for a bit.

sorry to all the nay-sayers about boosting the 1.3L but i think it will be a good expierance for me and it will prolly make for a decent write-up for those new to the honda scene that bought a 1.3L and dont have the money to put into a swap and just want a bit more power, for stuff like passing other cars (i cant with my stock 1.3L) zipper merging etc etc.

i do need someone to walk me through boost prepping these carbs tho. i can and will get the weber carb if need be, but i've reading a few times about people doing it with the stock cdn khiene <Sp?> carbs, and seeing as i have 3 of those carbs i'd like to use them.

i'm also going to go junkyard shopping for my turbo and IC and the majority of the rest of the parts will be used or very very cheap, cost to me wise. boost on a budget
stuff like the fuel pump and regulator are going to be new.

the warm weather is on its way and i'm just dying to get started on this build. any and all relevent info related to this build will be put to good use and very much appreciated.

chedda, my hubby would prolly have a fit if some dude showed up here. maybe if we get to any meets this summer.

[1stGenRex]

5 peppers vs 2


i wonder who wins that one...

[badpenny]

Dude, stop.

[chedda_j]

Dude, stop.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You have five peppers cause you jack threads and post usless shit when no one cares and no ones thinks its funny. Tech is for tech ppl, not jokers, we all post something pointless once in a while, but atleast try and help dude. In my opinion, she wins with her two peppers.


LoL thanks for the heads up...haha. I just hate being the only person that knows anything about these cars in my area. YA we will have to post a date for the small crx/civic meet were gonna have. Sounds like your 1.3 turbo set up is going to be a little revey SOB. Hopefully anyways lol

ahummm calm down calm down peace !!!

[crazi-85crx]

bump for an update. i'm really interested in this turbo'd 1.3L carbie.

[JeepGirl]

no update yet, weve been busy dumping parts into the frontend. i only have tierods and a bushing kit left to do on the frontend then i can start focusing on getting into boost. i have been doing lots of searching and reading. asking lots of questions. i'm very eager to get started on the 1.3L boosted carb setup. oh yes, i almost forgot, the transmission is basically falling out of my car, i do have a partscar out behind the garage that has a rebuilt <dont know for sure yet...>trans and its a 5spd. i need a clutch, release bearing and prolly a mainseal before i get into changing it, which will be soon or when the car wont move under its own power, which ever comes first

i'll keep updating this as i go. might even take some pics, (of course i will )

like the subject but how reliable is this steup going to be i just dont trust the hole carb deal can the carb really handle the boost ??? for DD i mean just doesnt seem like it will take DD the stopping and going the endless stop lights but i hope it works out
