I know its nothing technical about it, but I just wanted to see how many members here daily drive their turbocharged honda's. Reason being why I am asking is because I am in a dilemma concerning if I should go boost or not if I intend this to be a daily driver without having no other car to take me to places that I need to go, such as school.

I plan on getting an Integra LS and boosting it afterwards (if it shows a good compression and leakdown test) with a T3/T04E 57 trim, .63 a/r at low boost (7 psi), but I can't help but think stuff can go wrong which might result in not having a car for sometime when I would need it the most. Or maybe I am just more paranoid than I should be. If thats the case, ****, I can't imagine how paranoid I will be if I am boosted.

 

I drove my old 92 civic si with a turbo ls motor in it about 200 miles a day for over a year before someone stole it. I drove it around at 7psi all day. I would write more but heading out the door right now.

 

Greddy kit...daily @ 7psi

 

Greddy kit for 4 months now....including numerous trips back and forth from las cruces to albuquerque...about a 3 hour drive or 220 miles.

runs like a champ

daily driven y8 @ 9psi ..

Hack w/ 460's...soon to be uberdata..

this is off topic , but i finally got my car tuned and almost running perfect.

is it normal for the car to start feeling slow after a while...like i'm getting use to power its putting down? compression test and all that show's its straight..no exhaust leaks, and no boost leaks....thanks a lot!

 

GS-R Turbo @ 17 psi and a stage 4 clutch..daily!

 

D16Z6 @ 11psi for 19,000 miles. Beat the hell out of it every day and my biggest problem is keeping tires on it so far, and the fact that I want about 100 more hp now The key to a daily driver is solid (not necessarily expensive) parts and decent tuning.

DruWO - I'm in the same boat. I take people for rides and they are like "holly ****" and I'm just talking the whole otime because it's kinda boring now unless there are corners, hence my need for more power now.

 

I drive every day 15 psi honda crx, but not in the winter, just had quarter panels done because of rust.

 

stock block LS/VTEC with ARP studs and bolts everywhere. T3/T67. Uberdata. Open downpipe. Only been finished since about midnight last night, but I am intoxicated with the sweet, delicious smell of C16 I can't wait till spring to get my sleeved motor in there.

 

greddy 8 pounds daily

 

Custom setup, d16z6 w/ the **** in my sig... I think I have a sig at least. It should say t3, tial 38, drag mani, cusomt everything else with dsm 450's and uberdata... 25k miles so far and still perfect compression and going strong.

aslong as you have good tuning your car will be as reliable as any other street car...........tuning is key and moderate boost.......

 

F23 - t3/t4 10psi everyday all day. i dont think my car has ever had me not hit 10psi when i'm in it. boosted for about a year now. AEM EMS street tuned by me :D

 

I drove my prelude with the greddy kit for a year on 7psi with no problems, with hondata also. Turned up the boost to 11psi for about 6 months after that and still ran like a champ.

 

D16 daily driven at 7 psi. with a 40 mile round trip drive to work everyday for about 4 months....no problems so far

 

Count me in, 10 psi daily driven. It's all about engine management and tuning, when not in boost it drives like stock, well actually better than stock, but you know what I mean.

This is my only car too, I do keep what I call my "Racing Fund". It's just enough money stashed away to do a build or pick up another car if needed

 

boosted for 4000 miles on my stock b16. but i have a paranoia problem...so i'm getting rid of it.

 

Greddy kit on a LS, drive it all day, no problems.

 

I drive my boosted 91 hatch nearly every day.. 8psi on a d15b2 with 152k miles! no probs
