just wondering about peeps ideas regarding engine management on 88 crx's (non-vtec d16a)

i am considering a garret gt25 turbo with intercooler etc etc, but what sort of engine management does anyone reccommend?

thanks
marty

theres HONDATA from the states which is suppose to be the best for honda but thats only what I've heard
other then that probly just something like motec etc. I'd goto a turbo tuning shop and ask them what they'd recommend man

My friend had just turboed his late 90's CRX. He has a Skyline turbo, fully rebuilt engine with forgies etc. He is going to run a Microtech MTX12. He has been garunteed 300=hp at the wheels by the people who set it up or he doesnt have to pay!!(he may have exagerated it a little but the guy that built it is one of his best friends) Cost so far is around $10 000.

Be careful tuning the D-series when it’s done…
They’re a little fragile compared to their B-series brothers.

Here's a link to my friend Mark's site... CLICK-HERE (http://www.turbohonda.com)
Here he tells of his saga of his CRX...
Perhaps you'll find it interesting

Thanks mate, yeah he firstly bolted all the setup on the stock engine and took it up the road for a spin. He barely made it back!!! It melted 2 of the pistons due to detonation from leaning off. So he had the entire engine rebuilt to suit the turbo and is only waiting to get it tuned. Very costly run up the street!!!
