Turbo Ben

Ok, I don't have the Sport COmpact Car with the turbo Matrix in it. I have to get it back from Slow4now's house. I'll get it when we're installing my new rotors this Saturday, and I'll let you know what I find out, because I know for sure that the turbo they use was designed for the Celica, I'm just not sure on who made it or the specs.

The car has been running better since that day, I've even raced it and ran at 120mph down 270 trying to catch up with Ricky (Slow4now) Yes, it does get up to that fast.....does it go faster? I dunno yet I had to slow down after I hit 120.

I know Sport Compact Car got one (turbo) for thier Mstrix, but I'm not positive if it had been officially released yet or not. I'll look for the issue and let you know what I come up with. [ 15 May 2002, 02:10 AM: Message edited by: Check out my flux-capacitor ]

try http://www,importautosalvage.com that's pretty much the best place to buy Honda swaps from, plus they're in N.C. so it shouldn't take to long to get it.

Yeah the GSR will fit in the CRX, A guy I know has one. I don't know how much moddification if any it took to dram it in there.

Now it's not doing it, could it have been bad gas? because then I was almost on empty and after i filled it up today and drove it a while the RPMs would drop but only like 100rpm or so, but ir hasn't stalled since.

The other day I was sitting at a light and my car stalled. I've noticed the idle speed drops sometimes, but never paid any attention to it since the car always ran fine. But the other day it droppped to about 200rpm and then stalled. It wouldn't start back up right away but then it did after a few about a minute. Any ideas?????

But if you swap a GSR engine into a CRX you're going to have to use the GSR tranny, because 1) the GSR engine and the CRX engine are 2 different series engine. 2) You are going from a cable tranny set up to a hydro tranny. So you are going to have to get a cable to hydro tranny conversion kit also. And like Nevarmore said a lighter car with the same engine = a quicker car.

Hey, I have a Flowmaster Deltaflow Street exauhst on my Civic, (then again I got it because it was cheap, and I had an exauhst leak) So trust me a Flowmaster can fit on any car. And WTF do you mean by too much HP????? I think I'm going to get sick now. [ 03 May 2002, 09:58 PM: Message edited by: Check out my flux-capacitor ]

Yeah I think you mught be right about it just dropping in. I don't know too much about the 92-95 engine swaps. I was just going off of what I know, the 88-91 Civic. He would have to make sure he got one with the hydro clutch to make thie swap a whole lot easier also. As for Accordfanatic recomending going to jdmhondaparts.com I've heard too many people getting srewed over by them. Go to http://hybrid.honda-perf.org/ they cover alot of info on swaps. And once again get the engine from www.importautosalvage.com

If you swap in the b16a you need to get 1) one with a hydro tranny 2). special motor mounts (preferably Hasport, they're the best) 3). a wiring harness 4). ECU 5). b16 axles I think that's all you need.

you're looking to spend around around 1500-2000. The best place to get it from is importautosalvage.com

YES!!!!!!!!! Do an engine swap. If you ask me go with the b16 for that style. And if you want more info on it look in Sport Compact Car from April 20002. They do an engine swap into that gen Civic. And the 2-3 months before that they run a b-series parts guide, top and bottom end.

Damnit that's the Celica I want, but they're almost impossible to find!!!!!!!!

My friend has that a problem like that when he punches it, but his is clutch slip. You might have the same problem, he's only had it in about a week and the power he's making is killing his stock clutch, that's just something you might want to look at.

Wow....now see back when I had my MKIII I was thinking of doing the swap. After seeing it done with an MKII I know that it would have been possible.

When my friend and I lowered his crx we left it about 2 1/2". When I lowered my Civic HB, I didn't change my struts, and just left the bumpstops alone.

I used to own an MKIII, but I can't tell you the cam specs, but if you go into the Yahoo Supra ownres group, there's one on there for people in Ohio, and alot of them know ALOT about the MKIII, I'm pretty sure you can find someone there who knows.

Not really done much since the Talons/Eclipses have more potential and AWD. Would be interesting if someone gave you one, I guess. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I've heard that you can take the AWD system from the DSMs and put it in this car, with very little modification. And if you ask me it would be the ultimate sleeper. And the twin car was a Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback.
