Saving the DB1

For sure bud. The Integra got bumped to track and having fun duties, but the GLI is comfy and it is pretty quick so now I have an all motor car and a boosted one and yeah my roommates and vw friends are excited but are also happy I didn’t get rid of the Integra. :slight_smile:

Glad to hear everything is going good for you bud! :up:

thanks tim, were are the pics i requested of your da and new vw lol post them muahahaha

question, what would be better for my set up a .48a/r or .63 i know the 48 will spool faster and the 63 is more top end im leaning towards the 63 cause ive heard alot of good things about it with the t3/t4e 50trim stgIII (76trim) turbo i am gonna be running but like i said befor i am new to turbos and would like some more imput from my friends ^^

I would go with the .63, im sure there will be a very negligable(sp) difference in spool between the 2.

good to hear things are going good stevo, keep up the good work man:up:

whooo i ordered my parts i will post a list of whats on the way later i gotta run back to work we are cleaning our m240s lol

Nice list of goodies you’ve got there. Personally though, I would have left out that pricey manual boost controller (you can make a homedepot setup for much less, all it pretty is a ball and spring), and gone with an electric boost solenoid so you can do boost-by-gear, especially since you’re going with an S300 (make sure to order the PWM components that need be soldered in at the same time of the S300 install). It’s pretty sweet because you can vary the boost by what gear you’re in, for example 5psi in 1st, 8psi in 2nd, and etc, which would be invaluable at an autox or road course

some nice parts! :rockon:

thanks i cant wait to come home and build it ^^ lol i forgot that s300 had the boost by gear feature, the s300 is probaly gonna come after i get it running i got a chipped b1 ecu from a friend that im gonna get a tune on to drive around on while i fund some other things into the suspension, like ES bushing kit, Full Race bar and upgraded sway bars.

thats one thing i noticed the db1 needs really bad when i went autoxing befor i left when i started goin through the turns in 3rd the weight shifted side to side and wanted to kick the ass end out im gonna hit the hay and get some sleep i will talk at yall later
