Man I wish i could afford to build a second block.

Small update, not really car related but guess who got a job over winter break? This guy.

So there should be some updates coming in as the money starts coming. Stay tuned!

Sorry its been so long everyone. I got myself a brand new 38mm mvs wastegate from a guy off craigslist. This thing is a masterpiece. It even came with all the different springs too

DirtyDA9

Awesome start! When are you gonna start putting it together?

Tegger93

SOON!

I just need to find a decent used bov or suck it up and buy a new one. Also need the funds to buy hondata and tuning time so most likely after tax returns come through. lol

Tegger93

People of honda-tech, help me out. Is a fuel pressure regulator absolutely necessary on a turbocharged setup or can it be done without one?

mini cooper rotors are the new lude rotors for type r swaps now?

Tegger93

Yessir, they don't require re-drilling which is a plus!

B_Swapped93

what injectors are you using and what fuel pump?, they're $80 and can help a lot during tuning the best thing I can suggest is do what I did 255walbro and ID 1000's. I do have one its along the lines of a catch can you don't NEED it but it helps a lot.

Tegger93

I have a walbro 255 and RC 750cc injectors.

sub"ed looking forward to see it complete

Word, bov should be here today. Will post some pics when i get it! This should be the last mechanical big purchase. Otherwise just a few bolts here and there and we should be ready to install.

Thinking of getting the teg tuned at King Motorsports here in Wisconsin. I've heard alot of good reviews so i will be giving him a call and see if he recommends that i get a fuel pressure regulator.

Thanks everyone, and stay tuned for more

I would get a fpr. With the fuel pump you got it will increase base fuel pressure, which in turn will make more adjustments necessary while tuning. Of course there are compensation tables for that, but I wouldn't rely on them. Also, how old is the stock regulator? How much do you trust that diaphragm? If it fails and you end up replacing it it'll make tuning again necessary. I'd also get a fuel pressure gauge if you don't already. Otherwise you won't know what your fuel pressure is in the real if you go with an aftermarket regulator.

New to me tial bov with a ten pound spring in it. Cleaned up really well!

Tegger93

True, it's now added to the parts list that's for sure. With how expensive tuning is i wouldn't want to pay for that twice.. is it okay to mount it on the fuel rail or will the vibrations cause it to misread?

great build, mine was supposed to be a street build but took it a little to far lol

Tegger93

Ha just a little bit, took a gander at your build thread, love the pink bay!

Tegger93

Looking good.

Did almost the same build when I was in college. Now it's all for sale. If you think this ***** expensive, don't get into rock crawlers.

My first vehicle was a jeep wrangler. Never really got into modding it tho, i remember it being pricey!

Tegger93

Fuel pressure regulator and gauge have been ordered, and are on their way! Now just gotta save for hondata S300 !!

Tegger93

WOOOOO, this came in today, along with some an fittings to match the rest of the lines in the bay! So excited

Tegger93

This seems like a dumb question but i cant find an answer.. Does anyone know if i need to have an o2 sensor in order to get tuned? I've got a wide band but my car has never had any o2 sensors and ran fine..

B_Swapped93

you do know how a wideband works right? go look in your header or downpipe/cat you'll have one or "something" measuring AF/R get a AEM UEGO it comes with a o2 that reads and send directly to the gauge. Only way that would work is if it was tuned/locked in open loop which isn't practical or really feasible without a s300/aem ems v2.

Tegger93

Yeah ive got the AEM uego kit with the wideband o2 (havent installed it yet), but im wondering if i need to have another 02 sensor as well, like the ones that come stock with the car. As of right now the car has zero o2 sensors which i think is quite odd, i just do not know if i need any besides the wideband in order to have a successful tune.
