Default no more turbo honda!


Well its a sad day. Today will be the last time i drive my turbo honda. Im going to remove all the parts tonight and sell them off.

The reason? My motor is shot. Its old. I got it about 8 months ago from a freind for free..it has like 200,000 miles on it. I was boosting 12psi on it. The rings finally died. I did a compression test yesterday..

#1 70psi
#2 155psi
#3 145psi
#4 180psi

It still runs...smokes alot..burns lots of oil..but it runs. I need to sell off the turbo parts to buy a new engine. I think im going to get a b16a or something...but the turbo has to go.

I posted all my parts here...

Please lemme know if anybody can find a nice home for some of this stuff.

thanks,
liam

Sorry to see you leave the boosted ring. Will you be coming back and boosting again, or are you just going to stay N/A or mostly stock?

You knew this day would come. I'm thinking about a jdm "gsr" or ITR engine for a replacment of my sohc. I figure i can get $400-500 for my d16 and sell my boltons to offset the cost alittle. Why the b16 and not a b18?
