I'm not saying it can't be a daily. It really can be, but it's reliability will not be comparable to a stock w/ bolt-ons engine.

I'm also saying that '10psi' tells me that you really don't have a clue what turboing an engine is about. 10psi is just what a gage in your dash shows ... if all you want it a gage to go to 10 psi then there are much cheaper ways of getting this effect without an expensive turbo system.

The idea of adding a turbo is to produce more power from the engine. You need to figure out what your goal is in terms of power - not psi. A small turbo at 10psi will enable your engine to produce LESS power than a large turbo at 10psi.

WTF dude just because someone ask me what i would like to do with the car, and i replay maybe b18 gsp 10psi. I have no clue what im talking about. Really. you got out of that i have no clue what im talking about, because i throw 10psi out there. Man you must be a mind reader , because if i read someone wanted to run 10psi . I wouldn’t judge them and say hmmm you dont know what you’re talking about. you don’t know my budget. you don’t know nothing about me. But to say I don’t have a clue. Dude I posted on here because I’ve read a lot of post and for the most part everyone is willing to help. I’ve been a member for less than a month, and already have someone busting my *****. Ok fine just for you I am looking at a B18C GSR maybe boost it (for you 4drEF that’s a type of forced induction system) and I said 10psi but to get 4d off my nuts ill say 6-8 pounds per square inch, ok with you? will this make the little needle on my gage go up and down . yippeee. ok now if I can please get back to what I made this tread for in the first place. Man this is like fighting with one of my kids. Im far away from even putting a different motor in it anyways. Good god , If I wanted to say ,ok my goal is 1000hp with 30psi (not real just a metaphor) who care it is my bussness, then if someone wanted to say you cant do that and tell me why thats cool .

Did you use anything special to paint those interior parts? I need to change a lot of my interior from blue to black.

I sanded all the parts down before I painted them, It was bad yellow runs in the paint. Cracking flaking. so I sanded them down smooth , I wanted to find new ones but some parts I’m just going to have to reuse. If not this project will get really pricey lol

the dual exhaust has kinda grown on me it makes the back symmetrical. We shall see. when I get the OEM 90-91 tail lights ill see how it looks. More than likely they will go . I was looking at the HKS Sport Catback Exhaust the old ones with duel tips. They look sweet and what I have herd they are quiet .

"10psi' tells me that you really don't have a clue what turboing an engine is about"
yep that sounds like a full and complete answer to me. Sounds more vague than anything else. You have no clue what i know and what I don’t know. So don’t post I have no clue. Hell ya that’s going to **** me off. I never posted that I know everything, which I don’t. And what I don’t know, that’s what Google is for. turbocharger does is to make the air-fuel mixture more combustible by fitting more air into the engine's chambers which, in turn, creates more power and torque when the piston is forced downward by the resulting explosion. It accomplishes this task by condensing, or compressing, the air molecules so that the air the engine draws in is denser. You jumped first by saying I have no clue. I only responded with a full and complete answer. And yes I know by adding boost it will shorten the life of the motor. Alright I’m done with this mess . Thanks for welcoming me to Honda-tech. I’m calling a truce.. it’s all good

I have the HKS exhaust. Best OG exhaust period. You can order it from THMotorsports or Options Auto salon. Just call to check stock and see how soon you can get it. I got mine for 450 shipped.
