I was planning on going turbo and just foudn out that CA has only 91 octane. what can I do??! I just want a car that has some power to it and remain street legal.

I been pondering whether to turbo my SOHC or getting a swap and going turbo. I just want somethign close to 200whp and street legal.

CA sucks ***.

 

Street legal turbo in cali = Edelbrock.

Cali smog is a PITA. Hardest smog in the states.


oh and you can still run a turbo on 91 octane....there are plenty who do.

 

at first i thought u were calling cali smog a piece of pocket bread (PITA) lol.

yeah, 91 isnt as bad as u think, just get it tuned and youll be finee...

 

200 whp and 91 octane is very doable!

 

Plenty of people in california have turbo charged honda's. Just don't get anything less then 91.

Passing smog w/ turbo, never heard of it. A guy I knew with JRS kit, couldn't even pass in his integra at a local california smog.

Yep, I ran the GReddy kit on my Y8 at 5-10 psi (depending on the situation) with 91 octane, and I was fine. I even had my car tuned with 91 octane and no problems whatsoever. Oh, and I also know a guy who failed CA smog with his JRSC Civic. Very sad. The visual was fine, but he failed the sniffer like a bitch. I think his JR fuel setup ran really rich and clogged his cat.

 

200 whp and 91 octane on d16 possible?

I thought turbo honda required 93. I read somewhere that a guy was denonating using 91 octane so i suppose it required 93.

anyone have a setup that is more than 200whp and street legal using 91 octane gas? I was thinking b16 with greddy turbo or maybe even the edelbrock kit that is coming.

Marauder is pushing 178 whp for now......he is testing a new engine to see how well the Edelbrock management deals with more than 7psi......a D16Y8 on 91 octane at 10psi intercooled is +200whp.

 

Im making more than +200whp and Im using 91 octane
Turbocharged btw.

 

Call 1-800-345-0076 for a unocal station dealing in 100 octane gas near you!

Hehe, http://www.76.com

 

I think boost controllers are illegal on the streets of CA. i meant is it possible to reach 200whp on 91 octane at stock boost?

 

goto 76 and get the 100 octane gas for 5 bucks a pop if you dont want 91, or dont turbo your car, or move to a state that has higher than 91. simple as that

but a state that has higher then 91 doesnt have Cali. weather

 

around here (IE)...there are some places offerin 110 off the pump or 100...its just like 6 bucks a gallone =X

 

would octane boost work for ya?

Just add octane boost to make 100 Octane. . As for the smog, im me.

 

you can still run 91 octane on boosted "street" cars, just make sure that you get it tuned real good/right.

 

I am going to wait for maruder to have dyno sheets of the t28 at 10psi and see what is required in the setup. I had thought turbo required 93 octane and would start denonating with 91 octane.

But I am going to read further to see how complicated it is to install with the things for 10psi. So I can drive daily at 7psi and then when I go to the track I can just put the things required for 10psi.

So far all I can think that is required for 10 psi is upgraded fuel pump, FPR, Links module controller, serial cable, and a boost controller. I know Ill have to upgrade clutch adn fly soon anyway.

This is a hassle, to install the things you would need that are not street legal everytime you decide to hit the track.
