Ok so the result is. 10000 wont cover a rebuild with a descent turbo kit, clutch, pistons, etc. though if i can find someone who stocks engine rebuild kits I may be in with a chance. So lil more help guys would be appreciated. cheers

Hey mate check out www.tunertoys.com I got all my stuff from there (rods, pistons, head studs, bearings, cometic head gasket) all for about $1200 including freight. But if you do get it from there make sure you pay a little extra for freight and get them to send it in 2 packages. It'll save you being hit with duty tax (I learnt that the hard way).
But to be honest I think you could do it all for $10,000.
hey thanks for the info, just wondering did you replace most of the parts with standard replacement and also did you get a turbo kit from them as wellQuote:

IMO just save your 10k and sell the CRX and buy another WRX to add to your collection.
2k into a WRX would probably shit all over a CRX with 10k put into it.
Besides, you already have a worked WRX with 200kw+ at the wheels, i dont see why you need another turbo car as your 'daily'.
Just my opinion i guess.
turbo hondas are ALOT of fun to drive. and they're more unique then another wrx
Lolwut? 19psi onto an awd car with 200kw at the treads or 10 psi into an fwd with 150 at the treads. You choose thesecond option. What happened, your balls drop off?
oooo dyno figures!!! ooooo
and it would be 8psi into a FWD with 200 atw.
Everyone has a wrx.
I neary bought a wrx over turboing my Crx. Glad I didn't.
Exactly. My car 9psi. 204kw @wheels. Stock as a rock motor.Quote:
