Heres a vid of the dyno run. Not a great video but can at least see the dyno graph. Good or bad comments welcome. Everyone helped me out and answered alot of questions that were noob so thanks again.

 

You need to stiffed up those motor mounts. Other then that good job.

 

you didn't even post the money shot of the FMIC! very nice, good numbers too

i agree with the motor mounts, are you using the factory lower torque mounts?

 

very clean car...

 

nice!!

 

There ya go !!!! Yeah about the motor mounts i milked them for a while knowing they needed replacing. I ended up shearing off 3 top manifold studs and some other minor damage because of it. Its in the shop right now getting some inovative mounts put in and had the studs replaced along with some rewelding of the exhaust where i sprung some leaks. I used the skunk2 3" exhaust and then opted to change the muffler to a flat black vibrant. I can tell you one thing the welds on the 3' skunk2 were crap i had to have all of the flanges rewelded after only a week of driving it the welds gave way, i was not impressed....

However the car runs like a champ. The tuner gave it the safest tune possible for daily driving and it still put out good numbers, ive rechecked compression and everything still perfect. No smoke, burning oil etc.
I cant say enough good things about Ken at Peakboost, i called him all the time and he always made time to answer any question no matter how dumb it might have sounded.

Heres a list of parts--
Neptune RTP
ID 750cc injectors
Walboro 255 fuel pump
Full peakboost kit with ramhorn and t3/t4 57 trim
PWR radiator
AEM wideband O2
Probably more but thats the gist of it....... Thanks for the comments keep em coming!!!!!

 

I know this isnt the market place but im trying to hunt down a 40/40 prop valve for a ABS delete so if anyone in the central Cali area PM me.

 

post in the marketplace n00b! lol jk have you check the auto parts store? i don't think they are too expensive, you're almost better off rather than getting a used one.

 

 

Nice setup. I like. Once you get those new mounts in there you should be good to go.

 

Thanks again for the comments, any bad things welcome too. Im planning on building the bottom end in the late summer still undecided on whether to sleeve or not. Its a daily driver dont think i really need more than 400 whp, and i dont think i want to push the cylinder boundries when its my car to get to work. Sleeve or not to sleeve?? I dunno?? Hoping on a stock bottom with forged pistons and rods to squeak out 400 whp safely all the time.

 

I just need you to clarify .. you made 335whp on 9psi of boost on that '57 Trim' ? .. 1.8 L right ?

 

Yeah, 335 whp on a mustang dyno. Its on the video i posted. I have the boost control on my Neptune but at the time all i needed was the 9 psi so its running soley off the wastegate spring.

Im deffinately not a noob with Honda's but it is my first turbo honda so i have to ask is this not common for a 1.8 liter honda?? My tuner seemed awfully suprised about it, especially since he specifically tuned it super safe and not agressive at all.

 

did you have to cut the bumper for the charge piping to fit?

 

Yeah had to cut the crap out of the inside for the intercooler and charge piping, i was pretty bummed about it. I really wanted to keep my side openings on my JDM front bumper, but no matter what i did that was impossible. The kit from peakboost was never intended for a JDM front end, on a regular USDM front it's perfect. Ken asked me for some pics so they could modify the piping somewhat for JDM front ends but i just havent got around to it. The piping showing in the front looks kind of cool i guess but out here in Cali its a cop/ thieve attractor.

Other than the unfortunate cutting of the bumper the Peakboost setup is top notch in my book, worth every penny i think.

 

damn i had planned on picking up a used peakboost kit but i have a jdm front as well and i cant see myself cutting the grill pieces out

 

Yeah well its a great setup i think, if you have access to someone who can bend the piping all you need is those two end peices modified and it would be fine. Unfortunately for me i didnt have access to that and my car had been down for so long that i just went ahead with it. Also if you were to use another intercooler with the inlet/outlet at a lower point that in the middle it would clear fine, just where it comes through at its right inline for where your side vents are at.

Hope this was able to help you a little, on the video without my bumper on you can see where the piping runs.

 

Damn that motor torquing looks sick haha. Prob best to stiffen the mounts though lol

 

Yeah its almost done at the shop now. They ended up putting the Inovative billet mounts with the grey bushings in there. Earlier this week had the mounts with the red bushings and motor was still torquing pretty bad so moved up to the grey bushings. I really hope it doesnt vibrate the crap out of the car. Anyone else running those mounts with those bushings?? Good or Bad for vibration???

 

Also can someone give me some imput as to what power level i should be looking into putting extra points on the valve cover and putting in a breather box?? It seems to be fine at the level its at but if i should be using one feel free to let me know.

 

thats really clean man good work

 

that's good power for only 9lbs
i made 412 on my bone stock gsr. i've been dailying it for 2 years now, no problems and a couple track days. stock sleeves can take some abuse with a good tune. i have the innovative mounts with the grey inserts, but i have aftermarket torque mounts too though so that makes it alot stiffer. but yeah, they're not that bad.

 

Thanks man... Yeah i knew i could probably push it up on the boost if i wanted but just figured i would keep it reletively safe until im ready to put in some forged pistons and what not.

Thanks for the heads up on the mounts. In my other car i just used the billet Hasport so never used the harder material, was just hoping it wouldnt be too bad since it gets driven everyday.

 

no problem
