on stock setup how long have u had it and do you run the hell out of it a lot ?

 

4 years. Stock head, stock block.. I rebuilt it because I wanted more boost for the TOUGE in Shenendoah

 

Stock B18C1.

Pieced together turbo kit.

She's young. Only 1,600 miles on the setup. 67,000 on the original motor. Hopefully it see's many more miles

 

When i first got into the import scene, i got a greddy turbo kit for my civic. It was the stock D16y8 motor, and no fuel or ignition upgrades, just what came with the greddy kit. That set up lasted me from 1997 to 2000, then i got a boost controller and blew the motor.. haha..

Mike...

 

Been boosted for almost a year now. Stock motor for a while, then just recently built the block, boost is addicting.

Very true... I first boosted my car in 97, and here it is 2004 and i'm still boosted... gota have my fix..

 

Had my turbo for 3 months. The first 2.75 months, I ran it on 6.5psi, no problems, kinda quick. (t3/t4, b18c1, but stock cat). Got a boost controller, turned up the boost and blew that **** up within 2 weeks. haha

 

Had mine for about 4 months. But it is still waiting to go on the car. properly installed setups and tuned setups seem to have a very nice lifespan!

 

So how about my b16a2 do i need a differnt computer or should i just hack it with a vafc?? and do i need a timer

 

1.5 months with no sign of engine problems ::knocks on wood:: 53K miles on the motor, maybe 1 thou with the turbo... i dont have a boost controller. Just using an 8 psi spring for my wastegate so theres no chance in me turning up the boost as of now..and i had my hondata tuned very well... no detonation or anything .. so i guess im pretty lucky right now. It doesnt matter anyway because im buying forged pistons and rods later this summer/fall and doing a rebuild on the motor so i can handle around 270 whp with no problems.

 

so should i just get the hondata?

shyt

 

8 months now. GSR 10psi drive the hell out of it every day. Weekend racer.

Get a hondata for engine management. Do not think about going any other route. This is the most important part of the setup, you cheap out on that and your gonna pay big time later on (blown motor)

 

b20 turbo since september 9 psi on hondata still runs good. hondata is the way to go. i started out with the afc hack and then when to hondata huge differance. hondata makes the car run so clean.

 

I've had my setup for about 5-6 months. It's still sitting on my bedroom floor.

 

Kept first setup for 2 1/2 years. Only had new setup for 3 weeks.

 

going on 7 mounths 8000miles running strong stock b18b stock injectors with the FMU and intake fuel pump. oh and drive the **** out of it every day every where.

 

on my first turbo setup since spring break this year. 6.5lbs. on stock gsr. i get on it every now and then.
