#1- I'd get the hatch
#2- Get a good kit (DRAG etc..)
#3- take care of the finer points like injectors, standalone's etc..
#4- NOW you can safley boost higher numbers

With all that money you save over an itr you could do a lot to that hatch. Get a turbo kit, injectors, rods, valves, along w/ some turbo headwork, hondata stage 3b + dyno time.

get the hatch

vtecjunkie

what injestors would you recomend, an what are some other little things that can help out , i cant get rods etc right away, like i was thinking like a headgasket, i hear good stuff about inlinepro, are there diffrent kinds, , an how much boost can i push , with the kit,injectors, a vafc,avcr, an whatever other things you guys suggest, only reason i want the vafc , an avcr, is my boy has vafc for cheap, an i get hooked up a avcr,


thanks

If you get a Hondata 2b+, don't worry about getting larger injectors or a VAFC. The Hondata will take care of all that for you. If you go with the Drag kit T04e for your engine, get a stronger/lighter clutch/flywheel combo along with the Hondata 3b along with some rods, retainers, a block guard, reinforced sleeves and you should be set.

When I saw the title "turbo and safety", the first thing I thought of was upgrading brakes, stickier tires and tuned suspension.... damn I must be getting old.

vtecjunkie

i have both taken care of im gettin a full type r 5 lug conversion, it has new brakes an no tires, what are some good tires to put on , id like to get 205-50 they seem like pretty good size

i've got 205/50/15 Falken Azenis... they're STICKY
not great in the rain supposedly (haven't tested them myself) but great in the dry!

vtecjunkie

get the hatch, if u do pistons/rods u wont need the headgasket.. basically if u get the hatch, build the bottem end, turbo it w/ good fuel management, you will be close to unstoppable..
