Pfft. It's only 183whp/163 tq. on a Greddy 15G at 7.5 psi.

w33k s0s

 

How long: ~12,000 miles
built bottom end or not: Stock H22A4
Daily driver or not: Daily Driven
Problems so far: Nothing related to the turbo install
Turbo/Power Level: BorgWarner .60/.70 T3/T04E @ ~5-6 psi, never dyno tuned, but I'm guessing 220whp.

About 10-12k with two 1000+ miles roadtrips
stock d16y7
Drove it everyday including winter
I had no problems with the car until the overboosted and hit 20psi.
Motor has since been rebuilt with forged internals.

 

98 integra JRSC'd.

How long: approx...91,000 boosted miles (around 7 years boosted).
built bottom end or not: stock
Daily driver or not: daily for approx 4 years, not my daily anymore (because of: traffic and a extreme clutch + thieves + a good deal on a daily beater).
Problems so far: Cracked the intake manifold once (replaced under Warranty). Burned the IAT sensor once, replaced the metal tensioners when the newer kits were upgraded. Replaced belts more times than I remeber....mostly out of maintenance, and replaced a loose bypass valve when the manifold was off.

No complaints, of a decision I made approx. 7 years ago. I've been wanting to switch to a monster turbo set-up for some years but if it ain't broke, and I am, why fix it.

 

Nice to see a solid running JRSC car on here

Thanks

 

How long: 60,000 (about 3 years)

built bottom end or not: No, then yes, currently on 4th motor (Dart-block monster-motor)

Daily driver or not: yes

Problems so far: Blew up a couple of motors. One ran lean, busted all the pistons and ovaled out the stock sleeves, the other had a boost controller problem, ran 30+ PSI, got some preignition and melted the pistons. Lost about 6 head gaskets, destroyed a GT3071R turbo (all the bearings fell out and ran down into the oil pan). Destroyed the final drive set in the transmission. Many other minor things. It has run &gt;400 WHP with &gt;20 PSI of boost on my built B16, but am currently running a bit over 300 WHP with 8 PSI from a JRSC kit on a Dart-block motor.

Engine Management: AEM EMS (tuned by JDogg)

F22 B1 (94 Accord EX). ALL STOCK block and head- Boosted it at 143,000 miles.
Boosted for about 2-3 months (3000 miles)- It is my daily driver. 265 WHP-273 TQ @ 10 psi (need a damn 2.5 bar MAP).
T3/04e 57 trim stage 3 wheel, .48/50 ar.
Tuned on Crome Pro.
Car runs like it came stock from the factory boosted..

Only problem so far is snapping the front motor mount in half (the steel motor bracket- no tourqe here-J/K) which in turn kinked my oil return line (smoke everywhere) thought I blew the damn motor, or burned up my snail, had to redo the return, and fab a new front mount out of a stocker, grinding it down, and gusseting the ****** with plate steel. feels much tighter now.

I do see axles in my future though...
