like the title and description say. i think this would make a great addition to the FAQs. if some one who has done this modification (which takes care of the major downfall of this engine) can do a write that would be greeeeaaaaatttt!

if u mean turbo then ok. First and foremost a garret t3 is too large for the 1.5 period . I would stick with the IHI which came in the 88 turbocoupes and ford probes. secondly are the pistons that are in the engine u are using forged pistons!!! a t3 will kill cast pistons in a heartbeat. before i was a rexer i was a ford 2.3 turbohead and forged pistons are A MUST!!! not an option. now if u wanted to keep it a lil simple id use a turbo from a mitsubishi (i believe they are AiR research turbos)and keep the boost below 8 .also the inetrcooler from a conquest is perfect for it. if your doing 1/4 miles with your rex with the zc or 16 THEN id use a T3 with a comp head gasket a good blow off valveand 2 3/4 to 3 inch exhaust. I hope this is what you meant

If you have fab skills, you whip up an aluminum box like this, so you could use any tb you wanted!

my only question is, which tb's are compatable with our wireing/plugs?

[CRXdan]

Yeah.. Can anyone tell us what TB will work with the 87 Si ecu??
Will a 92-95 DX TB Work??

[Hollowman]

The 86-89 Integra TB will hook up with the existing plugs.. Just need an adapter plate for the TB to intake manifold connection..

[rextec]

will all the vacume connections be there??
