Of all the pages to happen across, you would find that one.  My car is
built along very similar lines, and that was my first confirmation
that a HX35 would even spool on a small engine.

The 9cm^2 exhaust housing was the difficult part.  Not attainable in
North America from what I can tell, or at least on anything OEM.  I
was trying to be difficult, because my success in re a few 8 bit
processors with 16K code dumps doesn't patch my huge gaps in knowledge
about Mac hardware/software.  

Converting a single LCIII to 450/LCIII+ spec (oh, wow, a jumper) and
firing it up a dozen times to plunk on it does not an expert make me.
Loudmouthed?  Yeah.  Capable of the task we're discussing?  Maybe yes,
maybe no - as someone else pointed out it's not lack of talent but
lack of interest.

89 CRX HF (1800 lbs) with turbo 94 Integra LS engine.  The current
turbo is good for ~220 whp @ 10 psi.  With the new tubular turbo
manifold I've built and the increased efficiencey of the modern
Holsets over the venerable Garrett T-series plaguing the aftermarket
I hope to hit ~220 off of 6-7 psi.  based on results friends have had
with some of the $$$ custom turbos out there, my guesstimation of
power output shouldn't be too far off.
