Re: College student TURBO Build!
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.

Thanks man,
Good to know! Yep my plan was to run an OBD1 ecu with the hondata S300 and just get a jumper harness.
Ill have to take another look at my ecu to see if crome is installed in it or not.

Re: College student TURBO Build!
Decided to change springs in my waste gate today. I put in the small green and large red to give me 10.15 psi.

While I was taking the cap off I bent one of the screws
so I went to true value and got a new screw and got a clamp! Worked like a charm and made life so much easier!

Re: College student TURBO Build!
those clamps are the bomb! i have the irwin ones in many different sizes. u can use them for practically anything im sure you will be buying more soon lol.
its always a good idea to have an extra o2 bung or 2. maybe you need the stock o2's to pass inspection. its also a good idea if you dyno it to have the dynos wideband in too so you can make sure that yours is reading properly

Re: College student TURBO Build!
Well, after sitting on the jumper cables for awhile, SHE'S ALIVEEE! She was running a little rough, but that was probably the month old gas sitting in the tank..
After a quick wash she is shining more than ever So happy to be driving again! Still waiting on the funding for hondata. Will probably happen in the next month or so.? We'll see.

Why the hell do people key cars with nice paint jobs? Honestly, is it like bubble wrap, and you just can't resist the urge, or what?

Re: College student TURBO Build!
Had a little fun tinkering with the teg this weekend. My manifold didn't come with studs to attach the turbo and BWR wanted $20 for four studs and bolts No way am I paying that.. Went to the local fastenal storefront and picked up the studs and bolts for around $3 dollars! The size is 3/8 16x1.5 if anyone needed to know. Got everything mocked up and it looks fresh as ever!

Re: College student TURBO Build!
My water leak was from the passenger rear shock. When i replaced the suspension i went to extended top hats and didnt put a gasket on the top hat. When i would drive water would come off the tires and leak. After i installed the gasket the leaks were gone.

Re: College student TURBO Build!
So I was getting really bad wheel hop lately and decided to go exploring on the front suspension. Turns out my upper ball joints were totally trashed. I could flick them and they would move.. scary. My friend had a pair of blackworks upper control arms sitting around so i traded him my aem tru power pulleys for them.
Out with the old ebay garbage in wth the new:
