First time Honda owner, from domestic side
I
So earlier today i acquired my first import. Picked up a turbo’d gsr with 93k miles. supposedly made just shy of 300whp, but it feels stronger, maybe I’m not used to the weight. It’s slammed with some ugly *** gold spokey wheels. First thing getting changed is the wheels and the coilovers turned back up some. Wanting a set of rota slip streams but they seem tough to find. After that I will likely swap to a stand alone ecu, likely a MegaSquirt 3 as I already have experience with them on our race car. The factory ecu and adapter harness in it seems kinda janky and hondata also seems like kind of a hack, maybe not but either way the MegaSquirt software Is super simple and will allow coil on plug and sequential fuel. like I said I come from the domestic side,me and my dad are partners with a 2002 camaro z28, stock bottom end engine with a hefty shot of nitrous, probably 750-800 motor hp. And it’s sub 3000lbs so it’s fun too. The way turbo 4 bangers pull on the top end has really grow. On me the past few years. Ultimate goal for the teg is 450-500 reliable driveable hp.gues that’s about it.
