quick question, about a crx Options

[97sccelica]

hey guys i got a quick question

how much power do you think a 1990ish crx(non si) turboed at 5/6psi nonintercooled would make?

keep in mind that the engine only makes 62hp and 90 torque at the crank stock.

thanks,
Anthony

well first of all you said that's non-SI CRX but you didn't specify it it's HF or STD, because STD makes 92 hp, and hf makes 62.... -if it's "STD" and turboed that's nasty fast...the reason why....?!? the engine is 1.5L SOHC (for STD) but turboing that engine you can produce as much horsepower as B16A (A1/A2/A3) - 160hp - but the problem with B16s is that they have no torque (111), so having CRX std with stock engine turboed would be around 160hp, and also you would have even more torque then hp.... results = 14second CRX -if it's"HF" then there is no potential and he can't be pushing more then 120hp - (SUX for CRX) note: drunken_style ever heard of OBD0 instead of OBD1 !?!?!? ----you did say 88 ---- hehe lol -kind of old

First off if it's a non-SI it would have to either be a HF or a DX. The DX comes with a SOHC D15B2 which puts out 92 horsepower and 89 lb ft of torque. A rough estimate of turbo charging a DX would be around $3,000 to $3,500. You could do the B16 swap for the same price if not a little less and have more power with a slight increase in displacement. The B16 has far more after-market support than the D15. With the B16 you should be able to get to 300-400 whp with a properly built engine. D15 don't have much torque either. Oh on the OBD issue there's only non OBD, OBD1 and OBD2. My bad the B16 first gen is non ODB not ODB1.

Ziggy what's up with the comment on the age of my car. If you check my sig you'll notice that my two other cars are newer than yours. hehe.
