Well gentlemen.

Is it worth it to turbocharge a 1990 Honda CRX HF for increased economy?

I read an article in SuperStreet a loonngg time ago, in which a turbo Honda S2000's fuel economy jumped to 38 mpg. All because it took him less time and throttle to achieve highway speed.

I was thinking maybe a Mitsu 13G with an adapter plate to the HF manifold, plumbed straight into the throttlebody with no intercooler. Boost pressure would be low, only 5 psi or so. I would like to retain the factory 240cc injectors.

My biggest concern is tuning with OBD-0.
