hey guys I'm new to the site. I have been in the western va forum because i have been at VA Tech but i'll be coming home this weekend. I just wanted to say whats up to the richmond people. Also if there are any experienced honda guys I may need some help. I'll be putting my turbo in my crx next week.

Sarun is just putting up a front. She really loves Mustangs, just won't admit it to everyone.

I have a 89 crx with the zc engine 1.6L DOHC, if your not familiar with the hondas. The botom end is simi built with pistons/rods. I will be using the 2 gen eclipse turbo (garrett t25) with a front mount intercooler and a zdyne stand alone engine management. But this has been a year long project and nothing but dissapointments so far. Hopefully I can get it turboed this summer.

I am currently designing a dyno that i will be able to sell for under $100. It will use a accelerometer to take horsepower and torque measurements. It will be similar to a g-tech but you will be able to print out torque and hp versus rpm's and maybe even air/fuel ratio's too. the only set back is you will need a laptop. I'll keep everyone updated. I might even be able to dyno some cars for free in the richmond area.

Thanks for the welcome guys!! see you on the roads

oh and my car is but ugly.......oh well, no money for looks...hehe
