Newbies CRX Turbo
Discussion
New here so thought i'd show you some pics of my baby Del Sol. It's putting out a dyno proven 244.9HP @ the wheels not bad considering it left Honda with 160 @ flywheel!!!!
All the works been carried out by me over the last few years and my current task is making it look less chavvy!!! I'm also currently building a 'frankenstein' 2litre turbo for it. Hope you all like!
Hope this isn't too many pics!!! I'm open to feedback (abuse)

The Lenso's are being replaced with 15 inch black Rota Slipstreams but might keep them for summer cruising about!!! The sunstrips going and i'm thinking about toning the bodykit down about. I'll leave the front bumper so i get plenty of ait to the intercooler.
Roy bacer you ain't from Lancaster are you?

Was quite suprised that there was a Yorkshire forum but not a Lancashire one!!!
If you need bodywork doing i'm more than happy to help when i'm about. Done loads in the past and no how expensive it can be to get done. Offers there if you need a hand.
You done much to it?

Might have to take you up on that one! right now i'm just keeping it running and healthy, its my daily so i don't need much power, although a few choice teggy bits wouldn't go amiss... 180 bhp sounds nice though :P the only mod i've done is the wheels, mainly to save the speedlines tbh... Whats the b16 turbo like to drive? laggy off boost or ok? and what sort of rpm does it boost at?
I know i'm biased but it's mint!! The power bands moved much lower down the rev range and there's now bags of torque (missing from a standard B16 i'm sure you'll agree). Starts boosting around 2500 and really pulls at full boost 4800ish just in time for the V-TEC! As i said before i'm back this weekend if you want to know first hand!!
B16s are awsome to tune because you can just bang in higher model parts. What you fancying Teg intake cam, exhaust manifold and intake manifold?

Torque... err... i think i have some of that in the shed for when i rebuild my vw...
aside from the cams, you've just named exactly what i want to do, but with a cheeky de cat in there too (i reckon it'll still get through an mot)
wouldn't mind a gander over a turbo lump, sounds like a lot of fun, do you find it detracts from the vtec side? hmmm, do you know the pub on the way out to glasson dock? the swan i think?

Mine sailed through the MOT despite my decat, turbo and bigger injectors so i think it's just luck!!! lol.
Think i know the one you mean ye, not been up glasson dock for years though!!
It does a bit. The V-TEC was a gimic Honda put in though, all well tuned Hondas have the VTEC smoothed out. You can't hear it the same which is a shame but the pull from the turbo more than makes up for it.
The camps Marham but passed Waddo yesterday seeing a mate in Wragby (lincoln). You Raf?
