Hello to all i have been out of the honda game for some yrs now but i am getting back into it. so recently traded something and received a 92 honda eg with a b20bvtec w/turbo. I got a couple of questions but thank you...

this is my wastegate i believe..here is the bottom why is it open and the nipple is there a line supposed to go somewhere


here is my blowoff valve why is it so quit.

the opening in the wastegate is where a dump tube SHOULD go. my buddy ran his 450hp gsr like this and ended up catching his radiator on fire which lead to a destroyed car.

You should have NEVER bought/traded for someone else's turbo project with no knowledge of boosted engines.

Define "quiet".

The BOV. Is it working? Is the turbo system actually building boost? What horsepower is it sitting at? What turbo and what PSI is it tuned for?

I have some knowledge I have a turbo charged f250 and rebuilt that...yes it is building boost, its on 8psi, don't know how much HP it really is. As for brand name of turbo not sure...thanks for responding

Just because you had another turbo car doesn't mean you know anything about the turbocharging system; as evidenced by your seeming lack of how the basic parts of a turbo system work.

How do you KNOW it's on 8psi? Going by what the previous owner told you? What's it tuned on?

Define quiet? It looks like an Ebay knockoff.

My thoughts exactly.

Subaru guys make this mistake all the time. Just because you bought a turbocharged vehicle and changed the oil once or twice, doesn't make you an authority on how the entire system works. Thats plainly evident after seeing the condition of your current setup
