ok i have this 93 civic cx laying around , beater to drive around , { REAL **** BEATER}

so i bought a used turbo kit IHI RHB5 for 200$ slapped it on, making 7LBS

Untuned done nothing, just turbo and oopen downpipe, and som ebay bov, and oil cooled.

QUESTION: car rev limits at 6,000 if i could go higher could i make more boost and power ?

i have a P28 ecu manual just like the cx, if i were tp plug it into the cx would the cx with d15b8 start and run ? i dont car if it runs funky or check light just so i can drive and get higher rev limit ?


what can i do to make more power ? how can i clean inside of turbo when its mounted ?

 

mid night bump

 

Going past the rev limit isnt going to do anything, to get more power you'll just have to run more boost and get it tuned if you want. But since its a beater and you probably dont care you could just crank the boost. The wastegate has springs inside you can get diff springs off ebay for like $15 and run all the boost you want.

 

well i dont even drive car in city ust around road aroudn the shop etc, and i need this to make so much that it blows, i have zc wap ready to go it.


ANYWASE , i have boost controller set at 15 but im only making 7-10lbs.


how would retarding the timing help ?

 

if you retard your timing its actually better for it, if you're trying to blow it up (which is kinda dumb, just pull the motor and sell it :/) advance it, you should crack a ringland because of to much pressure in the cylinder at once, i cant believe you're trying to blow it up though, its kinda dumb you should just pull it out and use the motor as a back up if your zc kicks the *******
