Default What was everybodys first reaction when they boosted a honda?

Did you love it or did you regret it because of the money spent on it.

My first bosted car was a 92 Civic Si and I loved it instantly too bad it was stolen in 02 and it was never found.

Sorry to hear. I feel your pain. On my first 2001 gsr, I saved every penny for my turbo. I bought it, installed it in my own garage too with only experience being intake installs. 2 days later, BAM! it was stolen, found 3 days later stripped down to the frame.

I loved boosting my car, it was worth it, but it has become a problem.... you tend to want more boost over time... which equals more money...

Hell yes, same thing here. I couldn't believe the money I wasted on intake, header, and not feeling ****. I remember the first night I had the turbo on I was running all over the place open downpipe, lol. It was a pain in the *** to put together but well worth it. I couldn't stop smiling, and usually everywhere I went I was going in WOT sprints to the speed limit Freeway onramps are where it owned. You can't just drive a boosted car normally, it's just begging to be spooled! I used a stock rx7 bov, then a mr2 bov...and I got annoyed by the god damn sound too, lol. I can't see how people can STAND the chirpy greddy's etc. Every god damn time you let off the gas, CCHIIRR CHHIIRR CHIIIR CCHIIIRR CHIIIR

man, those late nights in the garage and in the winter are all worth it.. there's nothing like passing a truck/car/grandma on the hwy w/ the grace and speed of a crotch rocket..

not only that, a boosted engine sounds so much better than a NA engine hands down...

LOL, so true. When stock it took FOREVER to pass people on 2 lane roads, you just sit right next to them at redline trying to get past them. With the power of the dark side it aint a thing!

Friend and I were just like and looked at each other thinking "sweet jesus!" When the car lost traction at the end of 4th gear on dry pavement we just didn't know what to say...then it blew up

18lb's on a stock B16 DA, overboosting problem

Was fun while it lasted.

First Reaction on my Old Crx was.........WHOOAA ****!!..........I forgot to put my hood support/Lack on and it came up and folded over the top of the car smashing my windhield and twisting my hood over the roof like a sardeen can.....After that i put my head out my window and continued my first boosted joy ride!

Narf! I have to break it in!?!?!?
Once I hit boost.. pure exstacy.. worth every red cent I put into it!!! And every cent since then!!! And every cent I have now... and will .. and am saving... worse than any addiction I have ever had, and WAY more expensive! But well worth it... your first vette kill is so sweet, especially knowing that you are doing it with 1.8L and still getting 37.4MPG.

First impression. Felt good to complete something I put so much blood sweat and tears into. Now for tuning.
