like it says, just curious who has had a turbo honda without blowing or ******* up a motor? what was your setup and how many miles did the motor have, before and after boosting it?

 

ill be able to say I HAVE once i finish the new motor. This bastard better not blow on me. haha.

 

just dont cut ANY corners and you wont have problems. Get tuned and oh yeah.. SOLDER everything!!!!!!

did you have a problem with wires coming apart ??

platinum.

 

no but lets say using butt connectors for injectors cost me big time. Something as small as a ****** wire.

damn........that would cause quite a bit of trouble.......i hope no one else would ever do that......

 

well i really dont p lan on cutting corners, however i do plan to buy most of my parts used. and use uberdata and 450cc injectors to tune.

C'mon...how many peopo out there with a boosted Honda actually drive under 3000 rpm?

 

The LS-T that I just sold: 95' B18b longblock, 150K mi., Uberdata street tuned, 450 dsm's and, was driven everyday. It only had about 4K mi. boosted before I sold it but, none the less. It was very reliable and I am sure it still is. I tuned it very conservative but, the numbers it threw down didn't look that way. BTW, the turbo was a garrett Ta3107(a lil' bigger than a T25).

i ran my STOCK d16y7 @ 12 psi for 1 year, with a tuned hondata

NEVER Blew, and it's for sale BTW

 

i'm up to 9 months and 12,000km now, daily driven at 10psi. Boosted the engine when it was on 218,000km which i think is around 136k miles, so far no boost related problems (only issue i've had that wasnt present before boosting was a MAP sensor wire which decided to short itself)

 

Lots of people

 

hahaha, those words belong in the same sentence, common. . .

Turbo honda = Blown motor

lol

 

i had 135k on my ls when i boosted it, now i have 162k 7psi on an fmu. I've been boosted for a year now, and now i have microtech 3 bar ems tuned at 7 psi.

 

I had my ls-t for almost a year on fmu and safc tuned before I sold it. Never had a problem for the 10,000 miles I drove it at 10-11psi.

 

I blew mine after like 25k miles... But I pretty much asked for it. I ran untuned (I tuned it by ear) for like 11psi, ran a 14.1 (street tires)... It was pretty quick. I was home one day, was running open DP for the first time ever... No airfilter. The thing was making the most power it ever had... and I lined up against this firebird and never looked back. It blew hard at the top of fourth, but as you can see, it was pretty much my fault.

Now I rebuilt the motor (for &gt;$700) or so, Vitaras and some sweet rods... And I'm running 15lbs with a 3-bar on another ***-tune

So far so good... The vitaras seem to like TONS of timing, so I'm running 29* as of today @ 15psi... No detonation. The low compression thing really seems to need it... Though it's probably rich as ****. I'm gonna tune it soon... Maybe I finally got another spare block, nearly free

*** dyno says only about 250whp @ 15psi, which is telling me the bitch is either pig rich... still wants more timing, or both. I think I actually am going to end up backing off a degree or two and leaning it out when I get to the dyno, but who knows. I know I'm pretty good with the tune-by-ear since I've done three cars already, but then again you can't max out a setup with an ear tune w/o blowing **** up. I'm hoping for 300whp this time around, and I think she's got it in her.

I'll let you all know.

Just got it boosted back in November. I put on about 3.5 k miles since then Uberdata and 450 DSM like you. I check compression once a month and they haven't dropped a point. If you tune conservative and don't demand too much you'll be fine. How many miles we can never know. It could be only 7k miles or maybe 100,000.

CHEAP, FAST, RELIABLE&gt;&gt;&gt;PICK2

mine is semi slow (250-260whp) and not too cheap so it's reliable

 

Do headgaskets count I'm on my second HG in three weeks...

 

hahah, wtf?

Wish I knew. The second HG is "trying to" hang in there. However, it needs to be broken down and picked apart.

 

Hrmm...what HG are you running?

I blew my ZC because of the shitty carbon HG's. Blew out and then the oil pump picked up the peices...BAM there goes my rod.

Also bent all 8 intake valves on my 2.0L B18c couple weeks ago. **** ******* blows.
