badass ian

good luck with putting everything together

 

Oooooh your car make me so horny!!
LOL
Nice. Stop by Iowa on your way back to Michigan so I can check it out

 

nice set up man..... kove the car looks damn good..... good luck with the turbo kit and youll love the force induction....

 

ditch the zex plugs and get some NGK's and you're in the game

 

Damn that looks nice, lots of BliNg

 

cool BTW I was wondering why you would pick gsr cams over si cams?? (newbie to FI)

 

Nice setup! Looks like you will have some fun with it!

do a search j/k

ive seen dynos and gsr cams = a little more power.

they're cheap so i figured i'd try them.

thanks for all the replies

 

im not a big fan of GReddy but i've seen a few civic si's running around with GReddy kits making some good numbers! The car looks great...good luck with everything and maybe i'll see ya around h-town!

 

That's gonna be a nice setup dude

yea i know i have realistic goals for it. should be fun for now.

eventually ill go bigger and better!

 

niceeeee

 

why did you pay $$$ for zex spark plugs when normal ngk's will perform just as good?

i know it's a weird place to nitpic at but there's such a SMALL diff in performance between spark plug brands/types that most everyone can barely tell a difference.

besides...zex plugs are made by bosch anyway hehe, they're platinums with a different name on them...

 

your car is SO HOT!!! cant wait til its all done!

oh yes yes...

look good my friend. your car is gonna be sick

 

dood ****** install that ****.....that is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

very nice, looks like you have alot of new goodies to install

 

damn.. looks so good, your gona love the greddy kit and it's power delievery, i can picture u burning my *** already

 

Looks great man. Only thing I would recommend is getting rid of the Zex spark plugs. I have heard of them failing, and they've failed on me before. Who knows though, you will probably be fine with them. Everything looks great though

 

Hey bro good to see that you'll be on the dark side!

I'm a fan of smaller turbos and the greddy/apexi kit. my buddy has one in his efhb, b16a1, greddy 18g+fmu=310cc and it pulls better than stock for sure. I think lag sucks donkey ***** though cause he doesn't get full spool of 6.5psi until 4500rpms.

Well I like the idea that you are keeping it simple and practical. With a 18G you should be making about 225whp at 9-10psi or so and say at 6-7psi about 185whp'ish

I would ditch the ZEX plugs... I have not used them but also have not heard of anyone using them for boost. I also don't like the greddy airnex filters... i would invest in a regular K&N or else and apexi filter.


what are you using for fuel managment?

 

muhuhahaha- nice setup man...


jus like everyone is sayin' welcome.

 

Nice parts bro. Your lucky that you don't live in my house, my wife would beat your *** for parting your dirty car parts on the chesterfield j/k. Good luck man, keep us updated.
