Rebirth of Rhonda

[Waffles]

Well as most of you know I bought rick's old crx(1988 DX with quite a few mods)


It started its life with me as:

ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN

dpfi to mpfi conversion
d16y7 swap that has roughly 65,000 miles
crx si transmission swap
aftermarket stage 2 clutch
450cc dsm injectors
chipped pm6 ecu
aftermarket half sized radiator with slimfan
rhb5 turbo
dsm bov
intercooler
walbro 255 fuel pump
aftermarket custom exhaust
smaller battery
motor mount inserts

SUSPENSION

agx adjustable struts
tein s tech springs
energy suspension bushings
rear disc swap
rear strut tower brace
4 point roll bar
front and rear camber kits

INTERIOR
crx si seats
full interior
oil pressure gauge
boost gauge
a/f gauge
heater controls relocated to glovebox
5% tint on back window and side windows






My progress so far:

Improvements:
New fan wiring
Bigger radiator fan
Traction Bars
Custom radiator mounts
welded a bead around all my charge pipe to stop blowing charge pipe.

Some pics:








I started tearing it down for a bigger turbo and alot of wiring fixes.




Cleaned up the wire harness(sorry for the shitty pics)
10 ft of wire loom
2 rolls of E-Tape
3 ft of heat shrink
5-6 ft or solder




And all I pulled out.



Tonight I played around with the VC

Yo are welcome to come by any time you want, but she isnt much to look at right now

Yup. Has all the CCA needed in 2/3s the size.

Good stuff Zach, the crx is coming along nicely!

Cant wait to see more updates on your project, looking good so far.

I know I have done some additional stuff, but no pics.

Started replacing the OBD0 harness with OBD1(not just an adapter)

DIY ceramic coating on the exhaust parts(later to be covered in heat wrap)

Started building my one electric boost controller(will include some logging features to a SD card.
