ok so here is my list of things i have on my car so far, let me know what i should get next and why. i was considering an intake mannifold such as a skunk2 as i only rev to 8200, because of a p72 ecu(gsr) and my msd has too low of pills.

B16a SiR II
t28 turbo
some unknown make intercooler
msd 6al and msd blaster pack ngk plug wires
bkr7e plugs
apexi safc running the hack
450 dsm injectors
inline fuel pump and gsr rear pump
gsr cams
gsr sway bars
generic suspension
custom 2.5in exhaust
innovate! wideband O2 sensor
stock clutch, flywheel, intake mannifold, ITR throttle body, generic strut bar

i was thinking of an intake manni but not sure if its really worth it, any opinions? my friend is really good fabricator, should i have him make me a custom sheet metal intake manni or does it really need to be designed even for turbo? any other opinions are appriciated. oh yeah im running 10 psi.

an intake manifold without flow-design testing is not IMHO going to be worth it's price in the labor it takes to install it. Sheet-metal intakes, are flow-tested and then have.... "veolocity stacks" I beleive, to break up or channel the air.

I don't think it's just a hollow tube....

I'd like some more opinions on this.

I'd say your next upgrade should be turbo, I can't imagine that T28 is making 10 PSI when you're pushing 8200.

Dang EG

if your upgrading parts, why not get a racing clutch. no point in going fast and cant catch anything. so much power and spinning the clutch. must feel crappy.

tegasaurus

YEah... first if i was you, i'd look into getting a clutch first, then a larger turbo, thennn the intake manifold.

tek_civic

ok so i have an hks mannifold, and yes the 10psi is more of a boost spike then it drops off at higher rpms. so with the hks mannifold what other turbos can i bolt up to it? or should i save up for a while and get a t3 or t4 mannifold with external wastegate? is there a better turbo that i can bolt up to my hks manni?

yeah about the intake mannifold, i figured that was the correct answer, i just thought it might not matter since it is turbo and all, but its just safer to go with a correctly designed one anyways. anyone recommend one?

for clutches, i think i will get a moderate clutch, nothing too big, but able to take some expansion too. and at the same time i will probibly swap in a lightweight flywheel as well, it is used for drag a bit but i plan to do some more road racing soon.

thanks

different turbo!!!

PS sell turbo to me.....

tek_civic

well... sounds like its gonna be a clutch next

A clutch should most definitely be your next upgrade. I hear lots of good things about clutchmasters 3 or 4 for turbo applications. After that I would say your next week point is your fuel system. Get hondata or get uberdata. If you can't afford hondata like me, then uberdata could be perfect for you if you are good with DIY stuff.

tek_civic

i was checking out uberdata sounds like an awesome alternative to hondata, since im on a budget that is. im not really sure though, looks pretty complicated now, i will do some more research. could you pm me the uberdata software? i can't find a link that works, or is there an official site that i can go to to get the software? thanks

NOT OFFICIAL uberdata site

just my 2 cents i would get the walbro 255 high pressure intank fuel pump, instead of the inline fuel pump, and gs-r rear pump.

tek_civic

yes i want the walboro, the pumps i have now are ok for temp though. the inline makes a lot of noise. and thanks for the links.
ok just got done reading through the site, sounds good, i think one of my next mods will be the uberchip and the burning device. with the burning device could i burn chips like the comercially marketed ones? like skunk2 and mugen and spoon programs?

tek_civic

ok, just ran at the track, not too necessary now but i am in need of traction before next season. anyone else have any suggestions? im still curious of what other turbos will bolt up to my manifold, anyone know? thanks

DigitalFusion

someone correct me if i am wrong, but itsnt a T28 a T3 turbine with some other compressor? If so, then any T3 or T3/T4 hyrbid should bolt up to it;

tek_civic

hmm interesting, can anyone verify this for me? would i just get an internally wastegated one or should i modify the hks manifold to accept an external unit?
