Default CRV Turbo in a Street CRX

I've got a B18A1 right now (working on fixing it actually) and have thought about strapping a turbo on it down along the road, and because of this I got currious. Does anyone know of a street CRX with a B20 with a turbo on it?

Would that be too much to control? I'd imagine even running at 8 psi that it would make about 220 hp with at least 160 trq. Which in a CRX I would imagine would fly, but might be hard to keep the tires from slipping on take offs.

I appreiciate all and any input.

If you want to even DREAM of traction I say Quaife LSD, Lakewood or JimFab traction bars and a VERY VERY nice suspension then you might see traction at mid 3rd gear maybe top of 2nd.

I have a Quaife LSD and lakewood traction bars and don't get traction till 7000 in 2nd, I also have OEM suspension in a full interior teg....Good luck!

he already has traction bars stock. Aftermarket ones will help a bit, but not nearly as much as they would on a DC/EG.

Everyone that has replied so far beside vertigo(just cause I never knew that before):

I'm not looking for what I could do to help the traction... I'm asking about a B20 turbo set up in a CRX, not how to get traction with a B20 Turbo set up in a CRX. Thanks though for trying...

Have I clarified what I'm asking?

Dont mention it if you dont want people to give their input about it... You said any and all so they gave you their 2 cents.... the whole paragraph I quoted YOU on saying is about traction, am I wrong??? NO!!! So if you dont want to hear about suspension etc... dont mention it... And when you ask for advice, dont bitch about what people are telling you just because its not what you want to hear....

theebluecrx,

alright, I doubt I'll meet him any time soon. Seeing as I just got into the whole mechanic aspect of car mods. But I'll keep an eye out.
