word..

 

dont welt the egt probe fitting right infront of a manifold bolt

 

This stuff is great! Keep 'em coming...

Any tips on the best places to find good parts(notice I didn't say CHEAP) when putting together your own kit? What you can safely buy on EBAY, other good sites that have FI Classified Forums as good as Honda-Tech's?

Thanks again!

 

I should have taken my time going custom, now I want a different set-up. So I have to sell used parts almost brand new for alot less than I pay for. Boost is addictive you always want more and more.

Modified by hoya_10fintec at 6:28 PM 7/17/2003</TD></TR></TABLE>

two words........ steel braided.... -3 up top and -12 down bottom

 

and blah blah blah fmu, afc hack...... blah blah blah.......... cheap or easy or economical and turbo don't go together...... can we say ELECTROMOTIVE? how about AEM EMS (even thou m not a fan of it) ...... or even honda if you must be bargain bob about it...... if i were to start again....... standalone would of been the first thing i bought

 

dont doubt someone smarter than you, most likely they are right.

dont go to fronteir machine in phoenix, EVER.

dont go all motor EVER

dont rush

dont rush

dont rush

use your own head whenever possible, not someone else's- despite its convience.

 

always buy the best!!!! or what will work to ur best interests, ie me, i should have but better rods, instead i skimped and got eagles , other than that, my motor and setup is off the cover of high expense magazine.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this, you can do what you want. But I have been boosted over a year with the auto (swapped it out), but even still I do not have faith in the honda autos past 200whp no matter what you do to it. Because the fact is, you can beef up the torque converter and friction plates ALL you want, there is NO ONE that works on the valve body of the tranny, which means you never increase the needed clamping force, which means your tranny will start slipping eventually till it doesn't grab anymore.

would this list work well for me..
1) hondata s200b
2) 440 cc RC Engineering injectors
3) Holley fuel pump (what kind?)
...and i wouldnt need an aem fpr or a new fuel rail right?</TD></TR></TABLE>

Sorry..I made a mistake...i need to make a correction...if you intend to run hondata or afc hack..or any standalone..you should run an intank high "volume" fuel pump..and if you intend to run FMU/missing link..then run an inline high" pressure" fuel pump. Sorry for the mistake...

Khoi

 

dont spend 2 weeks polishing your full-race manifold to spill oil all over it a week later and tarnish the hell out of it.....

 

Make sure you take into account the ADDICTIVENESS of what you have just started. You WILL want more, plan ahead. Get the extra tUfF clutch, bigger turbo, intercooler and piping, standalone, FIRST TIME round it fuggin sux trying to sell 1 year old turbo parts/kits for half the price you payed for them.

 

Got another one I witnessed Sunday...

DO NOT do endless burnouts in your newly car tranny for a crowd of onlookers, slamming threw gears on a 100k+ tranny thinking it can take it

Watched a guy blow the spider gears right thru the back of his tranny...he was 70 miles from home

 

wish i went hondata instead of v-afc, also wish i got a more extream clutch than the act street disk that i got.

whatever you think you are gonna spend on your car, double that price and that how much you are really gonna spend.

things never go as planned so prepare for it.

do it the right way the first time.

 

dont buy injectors from viren
dont use the shitty rubber oil return line from the maxrev kit

my max rev return line kinked and now i have to rebuild my turbo that only has 200 miles on it

I bought RC injectors and a truckload of Parts from Viren never had a problem. Thats a pretty shitty thing to say.

 

Buy an EGT guage!

 

GET IT TUNED!

 

he siad my injectors didnt need a resistor box

guess what they did

so i wasted countless hours trying to figure out what the problem was

and wasted dyno time as well
