hey guys, i have a 96 civic ex and i just installed a turbo, i need to get done. i can't go over 5 thousand rpm, afraid to brake my engine. but the little boost it makes it feels great. my set up is t3/to4 turbo with tubular headers. i drive to work and back. aabout 30 miles daily....what can i do to make it run at least stock boost (8 or 9) and t least rev to stock. it olso when driving back my turbo set up it gets hot......when going a about like 2 to 4 rpm my engine starts to shake like it wont go, like msfire and i olso bought a performance aluminum raditor and fill it ith antefreze..
like i said i have only the turbo and aluminum radiotor and i need to know what do i have to get next.....any help will be apresiate..........thank merry christmas to you all.

 

fuel enrichment and timing is being handled how?

 

more details on the setup...

 

i have a 96 honda civic ex d16y8 single cam v-tek. i added t3/t4 to4 turbo with tubular header, waste gate, blow off valve, big intercooler, 2 1/2 aluminun piping ....i olso added a aluminun performance radiator.........
thats my set-up............

my theory
what i think of why my car gets hot, maybe because when i am boostin, the car maybe is running lean. when it ignites the stock mixtures in the cilinder with boost in there, it produces more heat, if the mixtures is right with boost it will not produce a lot of heat....... can that happen, does a turbo gets really hot when you are not even reving that high............
my oil is ok, i dont need a oil cooler, not rigth now.... but my oil is not a reason my car gets hot, not even going 5 thous. rpm.

Maybe you need to type in 36 font so he can see it, lol!

Boostedcivicsir just asked you the most important question this thread is gonna ask you, I surely HOPE you are not running your stock ECU and injectors...

 

yes, i guess that is the first thing to do, bolt on the turbo, intercooler and the rest.... i drive it daily but i don't race, past over 4 and '/2 thousand rpm......drive it slowly. everytime i always let the car on for a few minutes before shutting it down.....i am trying to get some injectors, they are expensive, i was reading that getting use injectors sometimes they can be bad.............where can i find 450 injectors for my 0bd2 civic..........i already bolt on the (fuel pressure regulator) i am getting the spark plugs tommorow, (step colder plug and gap the spark plug to .028-.030 inches) and some spark plugs cables, i already have a msd with the coil pack and the distrubutor cap, i just need the spark plug that runs from the cap to the coil pack........i need to find out if i need to change my computer from obd2 to obd1.......its expensive......can i get around it and keep my computer, add something else

You're going to blow up your engine with no fuel management. Get some used dsm 450's and an apexi vafc atleast or that engine is going to blow up.

 

you shouldnt drive the car, until u get some bigger injectors, DSM 440's will (u will need a resistor box), and a obd1 ecu chipped and socketed with ATLEAST a base map for your setup.

I suggested u put all the stock stuff back on until u get those things your not going to have a car at all...

X2...thousand...

 

this is what gives turbo Honda's a bad name for reliability. can we put a huge banner in the F/I section that says Tune it or loose it

 

ok....i did park the the car in the garage...not going to test drive or drive at all....it was only doing 3 pounds, i check it when i installed the boost gauge and i olso installed the air and fuel gauge..........so far i have the gauges, fuel pressure regulator, performance aluminum radiator, msd with coil and cap,

what i need is if someone knows where to get the p30 ecu ship...or how much can a hondata ecu cost and where or know of someone is selling one.......and the 440's and up obd2 injectors.......thanks for the help and saving a motor... i apreciate all your comments. thank you all

 

it takes someone alot of knolege to know u need fuel management with boost, i dont beileve that car
could handle boost without even an fmu, so how many miles u put on tha car with that turbo, just for fun

 

You better hope you didnt do some serious damage already running it around lean like that.

Why cant people do research before slapping **** on their cars

 

i asked all of you if you know of someone or if u have any parts that i posted yesterday.....

injectors and a ecu for my car.......thats all i need to get it tuned...........i think i put about 1500 miles and for more fun quiz.....my car is running like always....it has good compression.........rented at autozone.... and no bad noise at all and i even clear the check engine light (map sensor) about 12 times, cause of boosting only 3 pounds and i still have the obd2 auto scanner (need to return it now cauze of the $100 deposit) they might be looking for me. i had it about 3 weeks,

selling &gt; 1991 acura integra ls 2 door. hasn't been modified at all, all stock. stick, sunroof, ac....

 

p28 ecu i have also have nissan 240 and mustang v6 ecus but yeah i got the ecu you need but u still got toget it chipped go look at the prices for it and make me an offer

 

all yeah i forgot the prize is $600 for the acura and hope to sell it quick, this money will get me my injectors and maybe an fmu.

 

u dont need an fmu. U need a socketed ecu. I have a socked p28 if you want it. Sent you a pm about that. In order for my p28 to work u are going to need to get a basemap for your setup. Contact http://www.phearable.net (John Vega) and fill out the form letting him know what you have done so that he can send you a basemap for your car. Also you need obd1 injector clips to replaced the obd2 clips you have, which means you have to cut and splice the new obd1 injectors clips into your harness. Then you can get some DSM 440's with a resistor box to work with those new obd 1 injector clips.

So what you need to get:
My socketed p28 ~125
a basemap for your car from phearable.net ~30
obd1 injector clips ~25
dsm 440cc's with resistor box ~100

thats what you need!

 

also pics of integra your selling??

Ummmmmm, ooookaaaay...This info doesnt belong here, it belongs in your personal profile. THIS is what you need to read...

''the problem with the 96-00 ecu's or even 96-01 ecus is the lack of the reflash ablity, and the fact that they do not use the obdo or obd1 eeprom/eprom set up, eeprom standing for electronically eraseable,

the only ecu's that rewquired reflashablity from the HIM (honda scan tool looking thing) were the obd2b latter k series ecu's this is a project we are working on and we are getting close. if this project succseds we're looking at a 3 thousand dollar reduction in a k series swap.

you cn join the project if you want so far we are only at the ROM dump stage, and a programn has been uploaded on blundar's old site.

sorry the p2p.p2t etc ecu's are useless........internal ROM/ non reflashablity''

wow, i guess if i want to keep my p2p, that means no more turbo. its a lot of work and time to be getting the obd1 and finding the right chip. plus getting the conversation harness, then get it tune.......
i guess i'll sell this car and just stick with the 00 civic si..............maybe the set up that i have can be good for a hatch.........

its not like that, i don't want to be fake..........when i was driving my car........(i said when i was driving the car) now its park.
i always enjoy of how it pulled on second and third gear, about 2 1/2 thousand rpm i always step on the pedal, at 3 k rpm you can hear the turbo whistleing, getting pressure and let go about 4 1/2 k rpm.......but when it was boosting, you can tell that the mph was going up quickly, it feels like someone is pushing your car behind with onether car....
i know it was stupid for me to drive it, but i was thinking of getting a 92 honda civic si from this guy for 1500, and that is sohc v-tek and obd1, but i like my car, its a new model, it only has about 78000 k miles. i hate cutting and changing cables from an original car, i used to wire the hf to run a 4 injectors, its always a mess with the 88 to 89 and 90 to 91.
when they did the wiring for my vtec on my 4d da, always cable here cable there. it doesn't look good.

i thought there was a way of making the p2p to work, now i know that is impossible. i guess if i see any new civic (obd2) turbo.....they have to convert it to obd1.......
