I had mine set up in my integra. I wanted to use an EG civic chassis, but the integra had such a cool look compared to the jelly bean EG.
The original CRX kit came with the puny 45ci blower, aka the M45. The 62ci unit was used in the twin cam VTEC kits and had a 30% larger capacity. We would push out 8-9 psi which hit hard from pretty much just past idle to around 6000 rpm. At that point heat soak was an issue, so we would taper the boost down using the bypass valve. With water injection you could get a psi or two more. With the air:water we were pushing 12-13 psi, but we never quite perfected the intercooler. Space was so tight, and then there was the increase in boost based on the IC plugging up the free flowing intake. It was a lot of fun playing with the jrsc on various motors and heads trying to eke out another few hp.
I sold the intercooler to an RS member who unfortunately passed away in a plane crash. The crazy thing is, he invited me to go up in the plane with him that day. Something else came up and I couldn't go. Fuk me, I'd have been dead for a decade already if things went differently that day.....
