J829 MHC Crx Turbo

[therevday]

I recently bought a Honda CRX Del sol turbo and I am trying to find out as much info on the car as possible. Does anyone recognise the car by its reg J829 MHC? Its green metalic in colour and obviously had a lot of money spent on it at sometime. It appears to have a chipped ecu but it also has boost pressure related fuel pressure regulator????? I cannot post pictures of it at the moment because I don't know how to.Tomorrow I will be removing the head to get it skimmed ready for a new headgasket.I will also be fitting new timming kit and uprated engine mounts.

Don't know the car.

What engine? D16 or B?

I had an EK with a B16 turbo, ended badly!

B16 engine

I'll be interested to see pics mate.

The B16 is quite high compression, mine went pop twice as the map was st!

Its all about proper mapping! every forced induction engine that has a bad map will go bang! Thats why I do not understand why someone has had the ecu properly chipped, then stuck some old fashion boost related system on it?????

Up loading this has taken me three hours!!! New headgasket fitted along with timing belt kit and new waterpump. Two of the new engine mounts intstalled.We found the car already had ARP head studs fitted. Someone must recognise this car????

Well engine back together! Engine not runninging smoothly.Couple of runs up and down the road not impressed Compression test shows one cylinder well down on compression, one slightly better and two very average Head back off pistons removed, two cracked pistons and one of them the oil ring was rusted to the groove This has now become a complete rebuild Oh well at least when its back together we will know whats been done to it!! When we had the head off I forgot to mention that the engine already had a block guard fitted. Some past owner had loved and spent money on it.Now its my turn!
