i just recently finished my custom turbo install on my 98 civic ex

i'm running a t3t4

problem is...after taking the car around for the first spin...i realized the turbo is making any boost...

i thought it was an insane boost leak...but i checked everything...everything is on nice and tight

i took the car to a local tuner shop and i was told that my lack of a downpipe currently isn't providing enough backpressure that my lil sohc motor needs to spool a biggie t3t4...

any opinions??

thanx

 

Bull!

Don't ever go back to that shop.

EVER!

what a moron.

you have a boost leak or your turbo is stuck or something...

 

what's your setup?
this may be a long short.. but maybe the injector grommets aren't sealing?

 

did you check you charge piping and all the obvious stuff for leaks?

I would never go to that shop for anything... ever.

people think up some stupid **** these days.

 

to the left of the turbine blades is there a hole for an internal wastegate?if so cover it up with somehting,like a downpipe flange.all the air is coming out of that hole and you are losing ALL of the pressure to build boost

 

you need more bumper fluid


jk, maybe that is what the shop will tell you next! Definatly check your wastegate setup and charge pipes

it's BLINKER FLUID get it right y0!

by the way, open DP ROCKS. so much faster than when i force it through my RSR catback. I need a new 3 inch exhaust me thinks.

 

Open downpipe rules as long as you have a good manifold and wastegate. If not you will see boost creep.

 

so did u find the problem yet?

 

On the whole back pressure thing the turbine blades combined with the turbine housing provides backpressure LOL

I second that.......sounds a bit loud for me but it's awesome feel.

Name the shop so H-T members don't go there.

WABOM.....
