I had a couple of really good freinds that came all the way from Johnson City Tenn. just to race 1 night on the local track here in Montg. Ala. I'd told them for A couple of years how good a track we had do to the lower elevation here. He shows up in an EG DX h/b w/ a bone stock 1.6 VTEC w/ about 150K miles on it. The only external mods he had was an OBX stainless ex mani, an Ebay turbo & down pipe, bigger injectors & AEM EMS on 9 lbs of boost. Oh yea, don't forget the slicks! I was in the staging lane right behind him last night, I watched him launch as I was heading toward the water box & saw that particular run make 12.60 WOW! By the end of the night the thing went a screaming 12.44 @ 110 mph! I drove the car myself earlier that day & now my SC'd R feels slow (JERK!) LOL! Anyway I knew I'd end up in the turbo world before it was all said & done but now he's made me want it much sooner. Good job Rob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

wheres the amazing part? theres lots of turbo Ds runnning those kind of numbers.

Why do U have to ask the question in such an insulting matter? Thats 1 of the reasons I don't like to post in here very much.

 

how is that insulting? you only take it that way because i am ill impressed. your friend ran a great time and all, but serioulsy it's not that uncommon now.
the D motor has come along away thanks to guys like your buddy willing to spend the money.
but what, oh what does you swingin his nuts on a tech forum have to do with the rest of us. i had put a smiley at the end of my post to show you that i was saying it in a light way, but YOU turned it into a hater-tech response

If I took something out of context then I'm mature enough to say I'm sorry. It's just something that I never thought possible & freaked out when I saw it.

 

what kind of turbo was it a internal wastegate or a external wastegate turbo? i'm trying to put a kit together myself

 

the thing that amazes me is that hes running AEM with an obx turbo, LOL.

Yeah, the ECU is probably worth more than everything else he has in there put together.

thats exactly why he did it. So far he's running 9 psi daily, but I tuned it for 11, been together for around 3 months now. We'll see how long the rods stay inside ;-)

When I first bought my R & attended my first NOPI show in Pigeon Forge back In 2002 I was stunned, culture shock if U will @ the attitudes of some (not all) of the R owners. It made me mad that people were apprehensive in coming to me asking me if it were OK if they could look @, take pics or get some video of my R! I said if I didn't want it to be seen then I wouldn't have it @ a show. Whats funny is the guy & his friend who has the turbo H/B in this thread use to have an R & thats how we met. Along w/ 1 other guy who use to work for Lokar Performance. The other guy who had the turbo R who wound up on the cover of SCC mag. in June of 2003 was the biggest jerk U'd ever wanna meet! Sorry for such a lengthy post. WHEW!!!

This is the b16 your talking about? I would hope that the rods would stay inside on only 9psi...

 

Sounds like a fun car. Nothin like putting little money into something and getting a whole lot out of it. I always seemed to have way more fun with my budget building ways, than with high dollar stuff.
