Default crx turbo project

I have a T28 turbo that I plan to install on my crx(stock).
All I have is the turbo and was wondering what all else I
will need and how much it will cost. If you have done this
before or know anything about this please lmk.
thanx

your gonna need a turbo manifold(hf,vx,or something else). adapter plate between turbo and manifold,downpipe, intercooler, boost controller(manual or electronic) blow off valve,wastegate if your turbo doesnt have one, oil lines, T's to tap oil,some blue top dsm injectors, misc piping etc . and depending what motor is in your car(1.5 or 1.6) you might have to do a mpi swap. also how many miles on the motor(might want to swap timing belt, head gasket, seals, oil & water pump, etc.

You do not ness need 450's. 310's would be enough for you.

That is why I say 310s and tune down. 450's are overkill.

450s are just alot easier to find because they came stock in some cars... 310s are mostly aftermarket... I personally would just get some Prelude 290cc injectors....

Man, I've boosted my single cam, and if you don't have a really good budget, like if your tight on money and don't have much to do it. don't. because you are going to learn from experience. I learned the hard way, and I have about 4 blown D series motors just laying around. I can't stress how much not to cheap on fuel. I whent cheap and used an fmu, and fried rings like they were going out of style. I recommend 450's and a safc, which really isnt that expensive. If you hunt, you can get 450's for about 50 and an afc for 200. Just do not cut any corners now because you'll pay for it later. -Ben
