11.2psi to be exact ! , but with e-manage ,
The ebay setup is all I can afford for now until I handle until I stack more cheddar. Everyone knows the postition im in money wise and has been there acouple times themselves. I agree the manifold and turbo are ehh...but I will get different ones later. I want a dual ball bearing agp 50 trim like I have on my srt-4 and a peakboost tubular manifold. That combo will put out big numbers in the future but, for now 6 to max 9...most likely six psi will be ok for the next couple of months I can deal with 220 wheel horse. I just really want the car to be boosted you know what I'm saying.
I hear statements like this a lot, and they never ever make sense to me. If you're just going to upgrade a few months down the road, then why spend any money at all on cheap junk right now? You could have just taken the money you spent on the E-Bay setup, put it towards higher quality parts, and reached your ultimate goal that much faster.
It's like people who say they're going to put an intake/header/exhaust on a car that they're going to boost in two months. Why? "Well I just want a little power boost in the meantime to tide me over." Ok, or you could just have some damn patience and put that $1,000 - $1,500 and be boosted that much sooner.
Another example would be the guy who says he's going to swap a D16Z6 into his DX for now, just to tide him over until he gets the money for the B16 he really wants. Why the hell would you do that? Take the grand or so it would take to swap a Z6 in your car and make it run and put it towards your B16, and you'll have it so much quicker.
People just have no patience these days...
The emanage isnt a POS. But its def not the right choice here, I agree with that.
I am doing it because I can. Your concern with the way I spend my money flatters me but, I am taking the path I chose because frankly ytour not paying for it so don't worry when or how I'm going to spend my money to upgrade my car. Just follow along with my build and give me technical advice that's the only reason I started a thread or I would just do it privately. I don't need your advice on how I'm going to spend my money. And my ssautochrome turbo and will find a new home and I should get back just as much as I spent on it to my nieghbor who wants to turbo his integra in acouple months. Don't worry about the path I take to get to 300whp, just help me get there by not commenting on how crappy my setup is. People on the internet as so negative. I have the money to upgrade later so it doesn't matter I just have things I am currently doing so I don't want to take the risk and have to dip into my saving account. I'm helping my girlfriend with financing on her 1997 sedan M3 she just bought so as soon as she makes acouple more monthly payments and I will start spending money on my project car again. This whip isn't my daily driver...my daily driver is a 50trim srt-4. I'm updating today, lots of new stuff on the car including my new hood and front lip.
Thought of a few more things to add...
If you don't want to be criticized then don't ever post on a public Internet forum. Don't start a thread and say "I'm new to building Hondas; here's the turbo setup I'm planning, please give me advice and critique" and then get pissy when someone posts a comment that doesn't consist of kissing your ass and praising your build decisions and part choices.
Honestly I really don't know what the point of this thread is other then to say "look at me, I have a car and I spend money on it!" You admit that you've never built a Honda before, you post up your plans and ask for advice, but then, when people say "yeah, actually, most Honda guys use this instead" or "you should really tune with this instead of that" you just ignore it and say "well, I like it, so I'm gonna use it."
If you think you know how to build a nice turbo Honda then go do it. Come back and post pictures and dyno graphs when you're done.
It does look nice, I'll give you that, but seriously, what's the point of this thread?
personally i would have stayed with the amber corners and stock headlight, in my opinion i think that headlight set up makes the car look e-bay/ rice set up. and didnt u say you were ordering a garett turbo, than post pics of a ebay one that you bought?
P.S. Barely anyone is following your gay thread...mostly because we've realized you're an idiot that doesn't listen to good advice from people who have actually built and tuned Hondas before...so what's the point of commenting?
not trying to bash though. but i think the amber's look muchh better on that car especially with that color. and arent those projecters ebay ones? they sure do look like it.
