I appreciate your enthusiasm, but your saying in your initial post you want to do a b series turbo conversion, be realistic, otherwise this thread is just a joke, even if you saved all your wages for a year (bout 16k after tax) and didnt spend a cent on living you would struggle to build a decent turbo setup, lower you car, mags, paint job etc..

Best of luck though, id recomend a airfilter, exhaust, lowering springs and some nice mags, mite be achievable with the help of trademe..

Pommy · 22nd July 2008, 01:07 PM

Rofl you cant know much if you think a carb setup is in any way better than an injected setup..

what kind of job do you have? go to uni dude, sounds like itd help abit in more ways than 1.

mr_tec · 22nd July 2008, 06:37 PM

dude just do a 15 or a 16sohc vtec bolts directly in dont need to buy mount kits and just gotta do some easy as wiring (besides carb to injected) and it'll sting ya around $600 all up roughly engine gbox ecu and injected bits

FLUBER 2 · 22nd July 2008, 07:00 PM

All i can say is gud luck.My project crx took 6 years and a shit load of money 2 do wat your doing and mine isnt even turbo.I must not no the rite people or have friends like yours.Pick an amount u want 2 spend on your car and just b happy with it.I think u r being unrealistic tho.

How much do u think its goin 2 cost u 2 get the car u want?

WingIt · 22nd July 2008, 07:05 PM

Good luck, point your mind to it and it can be done, I saved up for and imported a 1999 Integra Type R on $9 an hour, before that I saved up for a $5000 car on $9 and 18 hours a week.

If you want it bad enough you will get it, dont bother getting a loan, you just end up cheating yourself

Welcome to NZHondas....

all this talk about engine swaps to get more power etc... but the very first thing this guy said is he wants to get 17s on his car.... this is going to be the very first place you're going to loose power. 17s are heavy for a start and way too big for a crx which is meant to go 'quick' - they are more for show.

Invest in some nice and light 14s or 15s and you'll see the difference in just that even on your car being stock.

doo0T!doo0T! · 24th July 2008, 12:13 PM

There are some white WORK rally 14's with good rubber on trademe at the moment for $350 ad they look sweet.
Would me mean on a lowered crx, I love the small wheel lowered look on little cars.

eDD1e · 25th July 2008, 03:08 AM

Hey, everyone here has pretty much given you thier advice. We have all been there and knows what works.

Save up and buy a better platform.

eDD1e · 25th July 2008, 08:18 AM

yup bigger better an faSter!!!

XPLOIT · 25th July 2008, 08:51 AM

Not a carb turbo.

Exactly what 2-2.2L carbs will fit on the civic?

eDD1e · 25th July 2008, 10:59 AM

OK!!! i got a new CAR! HONDA Ferio 93 1.6 vtec straght trade for my crx!

XPLOIT · 25th July 2008, 11:01 AM

Single or Twin cam?

And whats wrong with it?

eDD1e · 25th July 2008, 11:04 AM

twin and nothing the lady just wants a manual

XPLOIT · 25th July 2008, 11:07 AM

So your Civic is auto???

Make a manual conversion the first thing on your list.

WIll be a good way to start a project and get to know your way around the car.

eDD1e · 25th July 2008, 11:09 AM

yea thats the 1st thing i was gona do how much do u think it will cost$$$$

XPLOIT · 25th July 2008, 11:10 AM

No idea, try ringing Strong for Honda and ask how much a manual box is. ANd ask them what you will need to do the conversion.

VTAKYO · 25th July 2008, 11:18 AM

Are you sure it is twin cam? The Ferio is usually a SOHC VTEC, VTi or EXi.

Pop the hood and there will be a blue badge that has a chassis code on it "EGx", x being a number. What is it?

eDD1e · 25th July 2008, 11:19 AM

cant tell u guys till 3pm thats when i get it

Demon · 25th July 2008, 11:20 AM
