No O2 codes at all. Right now its throwing the map and intake air temp senser codes. Map is fried from boost and the intake temp well I dont know about that one. I have 3 in my garage I just need to replace it.

[Papa_Smurf]

[Dirty Octopus™]

[J-ROCK]

[Mad Mike]

About 2 weeks ago.


i like your car TONS Mike! but i just wish you'd get an OEM si or J's Racing replica lip :o

Yea I think I will get a new lip soon but Its hard to pay so much for something thats probley going to get broke.

[Mad Mike]

Well sh!t

I just found out why trever(the other Z6 swamped crx) got that motor for such a good price.

Cly #2 = 60PSI all the rest are around 150 PSI. Hes pissed off.:2up:

The car feels strong and pulls really hard with no smoke at all. Idle is rough but no smoke and theres no water in the oil and no oil in the water.

I'm thinking bent rod. Possibly a cold air intake used as a straw...:no:

[slow_hatch]

How far have you driven the CRX once you boosted it? Any longer highway cruising??? Have any overheating problems with your rad. setup??

I was sitting next to you on sunday turning left onto dawsonville hwy. I about feel over when I heard you pull up and all I could see was you intercooler in my passanger mirror. I sat there just to hear you drive by. Your car sounds great.

I've put about 50miles on it driving really easy. Go on the highway from gainesville to oakwood and thats it.

Yea I'm running into overheating issuse. Not getting enough air to the rad. haven't had time to figure that out yet. (going to cut the bummper some more and maybe make some air dams to direct air into it.) But I don't drive it during the week I had a company van.

Lol, thanks. I like the way it sounds too, but its about time to go back too full exhaust. :( I've had some heating issues to now that it 90+ degrees out. You could run a fullsize rad with a better manifold on that SOHC. Im looking into another turbo/manifold to try and run one on my B.

[green91]

Mike i run a full size rad on my sohc. It took some modifiction to make it work but you cant tell with the rad in the car, it looks stock! Although it may require you to run a different manifold as brad said. I use the cast DRAG t3 manifold.

http://halffastmotorsports.com/gallery/albums/userpics/P1010004.JPG

Picture looks close, ive got about 3/4" clearance. No hitting issues at all.

[Mad Mike]

Yea with the manifold I have its hard to run the turbo with the pump side towards the passenger side. Theres no room to run both the exhaust and the oil drain. Thats why my turbo is backwards with the pump side towards the drivers side. But it sticks out to much, even with it the right way the radiator cant clear the manifold.

I haven't touched my car since Friday but I will tear it apart this weekend and see if I can figure out how to get more air to the radiator.

[slow_hatch]

Good luck :goodjob: I've actually got my car in the shop this week to fix my rad setup.
