almost turbo!

well just waiting for some injectors and my intercooler piping off of ebay to arrive. as for now I have everything else,

and the bitch,

let me know what you guys think, and if anyone wants to buy my FMU or missinglink, http://hondamarketplace.com/zerothread?id=1656407

i herd the drag mainfold is not good

what are you tuning with?
what engine?
how much booooooooost?

badass… i should swapped an LS and boosted instead of my B20.

almost is not good enough… he hehe j/k

nice kit dont rush to finish it take ur time it will be worth it

this is more of a budget project and I got that drag mani for dirt cheap. Maybe I should have gone with a t3 turbo also, but then again I got the turbonetics t3 o4e 57trim .63 for dirt cheap also in nearly brand new condition. then the dsm BOV, 38mm tial set at .5 bar(7.25psi), jrc intercooler and spoolin downpipe and dumptube. I spent around 1300 so far and should end up spending around 15-1600 when im all done. I plan to use 440 injectors and a basemap and HOPEFULLY find someone who can street tune for me.

loooks good so far

but i think u might go over 1600
heh

why do you think im going to be over 1600? all i need is to install and tune. im looking for a street tune rather than a dyno tune.

what are you doing for exhaust?

iits 2.5 downpipe then im going to get a custom 3’ made from a local muffler shop for cheap. :dance:

ur a long way from boost… i didnt think it would be as difficult as it was to piece everything together i wish i bought a kit.

why do you say that ?? how am i a long way from boost? dont give me feedback without reasoning. Its just annoying. If you had a good reason to say that then I would understand.

i was at the same stage with u
everything tends to carry on?
mabe thats y for me… i got lazy one week, then got real busy another…
2 months pass by lol

well off topic but i started her up today
started on the first try…i hope urs is as easy…
one tip i learned is the -3an fittings need to be tight…use a wrench or pilers…hand tight makes it leak like a bitch

tony

btw piping for the DA is hard for fullrad+ac+ps
but if u dont have AC its much easier

oh yah dont forget to clock ur turbo

price of street tuning differs
but iam paying $200 for 2 hours streettune+chiping the ecu

im hoping to turbo soon too :rockon:

Dont you just hate that?

What are you using for tuning? TurboEdit?

Good luck, I dont know a lot about boosting, but it seems like youre on the right track.

hahaha DSM blow off valve FTW!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

yeah I set everything up so i make it easy for myself when i do it. I had my block shaved already so I have no clearance issues, I got an extra oil pan from the junkyard and got my bung welded on already, I don’t have a/c which gives me much more room and made two 2.75" holes in my chassis on the drivers side for the intercooler piping to turbo.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve planned everything out so I don’t panic when I do do it.

The only thing that gets me is that, there are NO local street or dyno tuners here in san diego that I know of. So my plan is to run off of a basemap until I can find a street tuner that can help me out.

basemap isnt made to be boosted

You should get a phonebook there is hundreds of tuning shops in Cali but up in Seattle there is only 3 good ones
I’m glad you did you research on the turbo setup but come on to say you can’t find any tuning shops in San diego is crazy. I went down in the summer and cruised around and found a shopping center, there were three shops in that complex selling import parts and two of the shops had dynos.

haha well in san diego, that may be true. Lots of shops selling parts and dynos, but most if not all of them only do either baselines, or can only tune (v)AFC, hondata or aem ems. Usually they all can only tune an AFC. Performance EFI in san diego only does hondata and expensive EMS and a tuning session is 700 bucks which is wayyyy over my head. Now in LA and lil northern cali I have heard there are MANY tuners, but I prefer local over a 3-5hour drive each way.

check out homemadeturbo.com they might have someone that lives in SD that can tune xenocron’s ECU’s luckily for me there is a guy that can tune my car in Seattle.
