i jus put a complete motor in my 95 civic b18a1 turbo out or a 90 ls it is turboed garret t3/t4 turbo is it bad to drive it without tuning it ???????

Syndacate

Bad doesn't quite say it.

Horrible is more accurate.



Remove the charge pipe and set the wastegate to 0psi until you get it tuned.

Still be carefull with the charge pipe removed, you could overspin the turbo with the lack of back pressure.

the guy thats gonna tune it wants $1000.00 jus to started and then it may be higher i think thats a lil crazy to tune a civic

is there a chance you can get hondata s300 ver and tune it yourself?

(that's a good question by 95civiccpdx)

i would like to know more on this myself

Now that i think of it, if you dont want to run the turbo for the moment but dont want to completely uninstall it, is that possible without damaging anything? would you just disconnect the charge piping, use the piping on the TB side as an intake, and set the wastegate to 0psi and let the exhaust gas run through the downpipe??

$1000 is ridiculous if that does not include something like hondata in the cost.

$400-$600 is more accurate, usually closer to $500.

You mean pretty much exactly re-typing what I said?

Yeah, you can.

Yes, the guy that wants to tune his car for 1k is obviously in the ***-raping business.

Don't take your car to him - should only take between 2 and 600 for a full tune. Usually about 100-200/hr - a Honda isn't exactly rocket science to tune.

Yes-sir lol.

Any chance of damaging anything?? I was thinking Id have to install a whole setup and make sure its running properly the same day

if you have the turbo hooked up but disconnect a charge piping you can overspin the turbo cooking the seals and bearings. removing the wastegate spring is a better option for not boosting. or just keep your foot of the gas.

Wouldnt setting it at 0psi and removing the spring be basically the same thing? Or im guessing theres less of a risk with just removing the spring.

the spring dictates the lowest boost setting possible. so for instance if there's a 7psi spring in there that's as low as boost will go.

I knew that actually lol Im just getting back into the noob section of my mind.

Proper English works wonders. It's much easier to give advice to somebody when you actually know what the hell they're asking.
