Actually, after a lil more thinkin buddy..... Don't buy another engine, don't buy another swap. get your trubo D goin as cheaply as you can. The responsible thing to do is save yoru money for a good car, like you've been wanting to do.

Don't swap a K-24, don't swap the B16 (unless you slowly build the one you have).

Save for your car.

My .02.

Oh, BTW, it's been decided that my turbo is a garret sc3431 t3/t4 hybrid w/a E housing (whatever that is).

Couple of guys on Honda-tech have the same turbo and pm'd me.
-----------------

Also, Max said the AEM wideband was good enough?

wikedeye · 08-20-2008, 11:31 AM

^^^I agree. You can only have one engine in the rex at a time, and it might as well be the one that you have invested so much time and money into.

awptickes · 08-20-2008, 11:48 AM

I wouldn't buy that k24. Srsly. It's a good deal IMO, but I don't think you'd enjoy it nearly as much. Besides, there's too much information missing from that post. It's from a Euro Accord, which means it came a long way. Fuck that.

A K-series feels the same as a D. There's not a huge difference in the torque and HP to weight ratio, and there's more that can go wrong.

How much do you like rewiring the whole car? Are you going for wiretuck number 9832740982137409?

Keep the D. Parts are easy to find with D's.

Andrew · 08-20-2008, 12:07 PM

easy guys... I'm only focussed on getting this thing running. I'm not going to give up on it for another engine, after I've put this much work into it!

I'm thinking about getting that B16 swap for $500 (or better yet, if he accepts a trade offer for some stuff I have laying around + cash, I'll do that.). Selling the trans and almost making my money back, selling the ECU and all other associated crap I get with it and make it a "free" swap, then maybe I'd rebuild it and start building a snail-kit for it.

Right now, I've got to get a traction bar so that I can mount my radiator, and get a wideband.

mac_24_seven · 08-20-2008, 12:45 PM

Why don't you ghetto lean the radiator? I've seen a bunch of guys do that.

Andrew · 08-20-2008, 07:28 PM

^ Can't... It won't work.

I'm ready to buy one, and will probably just buy a new one from ETD on ebay for the $290 shipped or w/e it is. and make my own taps to hold the radiator with.

You need a new intercooler.. Here's one with piping and everything. This will get rid of that ghetto crap you have now mang.

If not, then you may be able to buy some couplers here that will help out.

Andrew · 08-21-2008, 09:41 AM

Give me yours

mac_24_seven · 08-21-2008, 09:51 AM

Are you eventually gonna get another one?

If so, sure, you can have it. I"ll just need mine one day

*** BTW, your tank is in production. It'll be ready next week.

mac_24_seven · 08-21-2008, 03:00 PM

Dude! Lookie what I'm picking up

Moates BURN1 rom burner and hondalog cable/case.

All we need now is the Ostrich 2.0 rom burner and we are set for our own tuning!

ANd here's the Ostrich..

Sorry for being out of touch guys, Tropical Storm Fay was on it's way towards me, so me, my dad, and my buddy loaded up and drove to New Orleans for the weekend.

(had to work over there...)
But now I'm back, and should have some updates soon.

wikedeye · 08-25-2008, 09:28 AM

Is everything ok...No serious damage I hope.

mac_24_seven · 08-25-2008, 09:49 AM

Nahh, no damage for him, justa lot of rain and whatnot, few small limbs down, twigs an forest debris.

Andrew, I've found you a whole bunch of turbo stuff mang!

wikedeye · 08-25-2008, 10:07 AM

good to hear.

Andrew · 08-25-2008, 12:39 PM

Yeah it wasn't too bad. Lots of wind and water but thats about it.

I'm looking around for another turbo setup, guys. This crap just isn't working out that easy for me...
I'm thinking of getting a 16g with a xsac manifold. 5-6psi external WG if possible. Thoughts

wikedeye · 08-25-2008, 01:01 PM

Whats not working?

Andrew, check out this site... it has several video's on the Innovate system, explaining how it works, setup and whatnot.
Good stuff.

I think I'm gonna go with it.

Innovate Videos :: Engine Tuning Resources

BTW, if my stuff ashnt come in yet, think you can text or call the guy and ask em whats up? Been over a week now and it should be here, no excuse. May have to go with you to ATL and break a kneecap

Andrew · 08-25-2008, 02:20 PM

It's just all of these weird bends and loops I'm having to make with this hot piping.

I told you. 60mm pool hose.

wikedeye · 08-25-2008, 02:33 PM

are there just too many bends or is it the fact that you have to connect all the different bends? Couldnt you make a sort of mock up then have a muffler shop bend piping so that there less connections.

He could, but it's ghetto mang. But with the manifold he has, he's got no choice.

I suppose though, if I were him.. to get me going and getting my feet wet with bewst.. I'd try it how it is, with the same turbo/manifold he has now. That way he can be havin fun while saving for a better setup.

My .02

wikedeye · 08-25-2008, 02:45 PM

you could just run real low boost without intercooling for now until you figure it out.

Andrew · 08-25-2008, 03:18 PM

I've got my eyes on a complete. Complete Greddy kit. (I think those come with 16g's right?) for about $500. I'm waiting on the guy to email me pics

My friend has one on his GSR (with the 16g) and made 230ish whp and 215ft/lbs on a very conservative street tune.

Which kit? There isn't one with a 16g.

However, there is one with a 15g, that's probably the one you're talking about. Post the pics and I'll take a look and make sure everything is there. I've got the 15g kit.

EDIT:
the GSR kit is an 18G.
