Turbocharging the Honda CRX

[Stonedofmoo]

My house mate has just picked up a CRX for a track car. The 1.6 engine puts out a healthy 130bhp but we feel it could use more for a track weapon.

We could either convert over to a 1.8 VTEC for around 180bhp or turbocharge the existing one.

My mate thinks you can buy kits that will fit and it will just work, however I glanced at the spec list and I didn't see anything about replacement engine management. Surely something would be required which would not cut the engine as soon as the turbo started producing positive pressure?

Any idea's?

Cheers

At the end of the day I would like more power. Jonny I tried to get hold of you via a PM on the hondacrx forum. Would you mind dropping your mobile number to me on [email protected]

Just need a quick chat about a few things as I trust your judgement. I.E. I know you aren't a armchair expert like some people on forums

Cheers,

Kevin

No lightweight AND big power is the key
