Nice, rather nippy? 
Its running a bit lean at the moment so I am going to have a play with that tonight to try and get her running properly. It will go like stink once its been in for a tune though. Its supposed to run around 180bhp and 160 Ft/Ib of torque at 5.5 PSI but I will probably have it tuned for up to about 8 or 9.BigTuna said:
That thing looks like a bloody death trap!!

Stripped out Crx's weigh nothing so with that kind of power it will be a real hoot! Great car for the track which I am sure would surprise many a more powerful car.
Its going to be amazing on track 
Its not very nice to drive on the road though!The handling seems very good although I haven't tested it that much. I did nail it around a roundabout at some silly speed and it just sat there dead level and felt as though it had hell of a lot more grip to go before it reached its limit. I expect the R888s helped with that

Thats a D16 right? What turbo you got on there?
Have you lowered the compression ratio?
Its a D16a9, the only DOHC D Series that Honda made.Have you lowered the compression ratio?
ITs running a greddy turbo on standard internals so its running the same CR.
I hope you will be monitoring DET if you are going up to 9psi
Got her running properly yesterday and it really is rather quick!
Only running 5 PSI at the moment, wound it up to about 9 and it just slipped the clutch so flicked it back onto the low setting and am going to drive it on that until I can get a new stronger clutch.
Problem was the dope who sold me the 345cc Prelude injectors sold me the wrong ones, they wern't Prelude ones at all. Luckily I had a spare H22 lying around so I lifted the injectors from there and put them in and hey presto it worked a treat.
