Its been a long time since ive posted here, 2008 i think. I used to own an 86 CRX DX that i converted to EFI, browntop DOHC ZC, and ran nitrous for drag racing for years. I sold that car back in 09 to a friend of mine. We ended up building a turbo setup for it along with a vitara piston/FJ long rod built D16A1/ZC cams and converted it to OBD1. The car put down 316 to the wheels @19 psi and ran a 12.3@120 mph with a terrible suspension setup first time at the track. A few weeks ago i ended up getting this car back with an electrical problem which ended up being some pins had broken off in the conversion harness. Still has very low mileage on the engine i built for it and fresh CG transmission, and the car still makes great power. I intend on getting this thing back to the track this year, but i need to do some rust repair first (of course), and some suspension work. So i figured id stop by here and see if my user name still existed. Good to see the site is still up too.

The entire tool selection at Sears or the contents of a Snap-On truck will do you no good if you do not know how to use them.

Found some pictures from a few years ago of the setup as we built it.

My buddy who bought it built the turbo setup using part of a DC sports header lol and i built the engine and did the obd1 swap. The header still hasnt cracked yet haha

As for getting it the power down, drag radials work decently but i have a set of M&H slicks that will do the job. That and an obx lsd. 

 

Edit: Found an old dyno video from when we first got the turbo setup done. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=f8HabHhx8LM
