rehard kits are all bolt on. any monkey with a wrench can put a bolt on turbo kit on. my friend put one on his civic on a corner of a street using a street lamp as his light. with basic hand tools. LoL..thats skill right there.

Now you know why I asked those questions first. You just jumped a good amount of points on my respect scale. Glad to see you're local. I'd be interested in checking out your car sometime. I love meeting local turbo owners who actually know what they are doing, and arent afraid to get their hands dirty.

And yes Dan I know its an easy install, hence the reason all respect would be lost if it was installed by someone else :). In your case though I know it'd be a PITA to do the kit, but I would still probably suck it up and do it rather than pay someone else.

Engine:
Revhard 2C
t3/t4OE 60 trim
Bigger intercooler
Tial 35mm wastegate
Removed winshield washer fluid holder

so you have listed something so trivial as 'removed windshield washer fluid holder' but not what kind of exhaust or engine management you're running? is that like a joke or something..?

anyways, welcome to the board, nice turbo - what turbine housing are you running? turbine wheel?

couldnt agree with you more on that part man. i just wish i had bob villa's tools.

02-04-2003, 04:56 PM
exhaust or engine management? im poor so for right now its just stock exhaust and fmu, probably wont see any new toys until summer. as far as tools go a decent claw hammer and a dremel with 100's of bits are my favorites right now. lol

You are running a turbo with stock exhaust on an integra? Wow.

You put on a turbo with a stock exhaust system and no fuel management? I dont want to be mean, but thats gotta run terribly and is pretty dangerous. I would never just slap on a turbo and hope to play it safe till i had money. Id get the money first and then do the job right. Engines are expensive..hope you know what you're doing.

GhostRS
02-04-2003, 08:36 PM
I didn't think that the stock exhaust on an integra had enough flow to create a feasible use for a turbo.

Haha, no crap. I figured since it was a kit all the fuel parts were included, and I just assumed exhaust work, but I guess we all know what assuming does. Jesus man, you seriously need to do something about that, I kid you not. To me thats like buying a body kit and installing it and leaving it primered. Sure it might be nice (I say that while cringing by the way as I'm not a fan of many body kits I see), but its a half assed job. I get asked by so many people about turbo setups and if they arent willing to go all the way like I want them to I refuse to help them at all. Doing things half way as Brian said isnt just about getting the most out of your setup, its about preventive measures to your car, and a restricted turbo on a high compression engine with minimal fuel isnt something to mess around with.

stock exhauist doesnt let it get over 5 psi plus i think the fmu is fine for now. most people say the stock compression with hondata can take 10 psi, so until i get more money this is the way the cars staying frankly i really dont car about the stock exhaust its not a priority. ive got dsm 450's and resistors all i need is an afc or hondata first along with a new clutch so its all in order of money and priority. as far as how it runs it runs great i couldnt be more happy with how this setups is going. i would never be able to afford to do it all at once.

20psi 240sx
02-05-2003, 04:16 PM
don't listen to these guys....keep your stock exaust if you want. if you are running 5psi, its not creating much more back pressure anyway. some of the faster cars on this board are done with the bare minimum. right jeff taylor of oakridge circle small town usa?

people think its a want, i dont want the stock exhaust hell if i would get pulled over i wouldnt run an exhaust, just some people dont know we all dont have great incomes that we can dump all of our money into the car i wish i could but it doesnt work that way so if i dont have this or i dont have that its not that i dont know what im doing its that i dont have the cash.you cantr judge people by what they have there is rich people who dont know shit driving sweet cars cause they got money for other people to build them and theres people who could build a nice car but dont have the cash.

just curious if youve built up your engine any(internals) or is it all stock? what year gsr you got i have a 94 gsr abotu to go built ls then t3/t4 turbo... just wondering if you slapped a turbo kit onto a stock as car?

Rguy
02-05-2003, 04:47 PM
What me and chris are simply saying is that we would not have put the kit on without having all the neccessary precautions to make sure the motor didnt blow and was tuned right. Why didnt you just wait till you had the money to do it safely instead is what we are wondering.

Jeff Taylor
02-05-2003, 05:40 PM
Do you guys even know what an FMU does? Increases fuel pressure according to the intake manifold pressure. More boost = more fuel. It can be tuned safely, I'm running one on my sr20det right now.

As for the stock exhaust, three of my turbocharged friends are currently running stock exhausts on their sr20det's, with no problems. I ran a stock exhaust for 8 months. I have it on my car now to pass inspection...and I guarantee I'd pull away from any of you (except 20psi240sx and Wagz) on the highway the way my car currently sits -- FMU & stock exhaust.

Next time, don't be so quick to criticize other people's tuning decisions if you have not had the first hand experience yourself. Theory and general rules of thumb do not always apply.

marshall
02-05-2003, 05:51 PM
why not just run over to radford muffler - gary will put a 2.5" exhaust on there for like 40 bucks! :D

marshall

Rguy
02-05-2003, 06:06 PM
IMHO, a FMU is the absolute last thing i would use to handle the increased fuel consumption caused by a turbo. I dont like the idea of my stock fuel lines handling 100 psi of fuel pressure. I just find that about 50% of integra turbo failures are caused by fuel problems related to FMU's.

jon
02-05-2003, 06:45 PM
rguy what do you suggest we do about the fuel problem?

rutapoutpks
02-05-2003, 09:10 PM
fmu's and boost dont blow motors morons do. anything can be tuned safley. theres 300whp+ running an fmu no problem. radford muffler i dont know anyone there, but could he do a mandrel bent 3 inch exhaust?

No, he can do 3" crush bent though. If you buy the mandrel bends he can/will weld up the exhaust for you, he's always been really reasonably priced with me.

So what else have you done since our matchup that would allow you to pull from me? We were definately neck and neck from 30-80. I notice you run 14psi now, so I guess more fuel.

Jeff Taylor
02-05-2003, 09:41 PM
yep, more fuel, and slight fuel tuning. ;)

Hey rguy and 16g-95gsx, both of your parents make alot of money. Go ahead and have them chip in for some parts for me and rutapoutpks. Rutapoutpks would like a tec3 and an exhaust. I'd like some injectors and a clutch. Just put it on their credit card.

Make sure you let rguy tune your car - he knows Everything there is to know about turbo's. If he's busy racing on some road course, though, and can't tune that day, ask 16g. He is the real tuner. The 'tune' pioneer. The 'tune' master.

Gary is the man, him and Sean have done a lot of messing around under my car.

I bought 3" mandrel pieces from jcwhitney.com last year and they welded it up for me. I don't have it anymore, but they can do it.

Wow pretty bold words there for someone who doesnt know me and vise versa. Last time I checked man I pay for absolutely everything on my car, gas, insurance, mods, and even the car itself. In fact last time I checked there wasnt a single fucking part on my car that my parents even paid a dime towards. Funny cause I also remember working a solid 65 hours a week the past 3 summers to both pay off the car, the insurance, the gas, and the mods, and so far it hasnt been too hard. Man, seriously this is almost freaking me out, cause I honestly remember all this, but apparently I just have rich parents. And about this whole tune master thing, what the hell are you talking about? Where the fuck did this whole comment come from. Seriously I think someone has some penis envy issues or something because I honestly have no idea where this random ass hateful comment came from. But what do I know, I just live in a big mansion in the bahamas and only come out to show off my wealth to people like you living in shanties :).

Honestly dude you really need to hold your tongue and think about what you're going to say before you say it, because you seriously look stupid when you blatently bash people with absolutely no backing to your comments. Everything I say on this board is almost always as mature as possible, and I almost always have backing to what I'm saying, so to quote someone I once heard:

Is this the same 16g that posts on dsm boards. I assumed it was (I know, my first mistake) because of the arrogant attitude. It transcends every forum you grace.
You are the pioneer tuner - the first to put a supra side mount on, the first to have an erubuni kit. Why don't you buy a real intercooler and not half ass it with a stock supra IC ??"Honestly dude you really need to hold your tongue and think about what you're going to say before you say it" Next time, say hello and don't be so quick to give advice.

About the Supra SMIC, you say why not get a real one. It isnt not getting a real one, but it is about bang for the buck. Saying why do that and half ass it, is like saying hey why go with just bigger rotors and very nice pads, when you can buy a 3000 dollar full brembo kit. Will the brembo kit work better? Sure. Does it cost tons more, and as far as most people are concerned will the bigger rotors and nicer pads be enough? Damn right. Therefore I see no problem with the Supra SMIC as for 125 bucks for performance that is by far superior to the stock SMIC as opposed to a 1000 dollar FMIC (I know you can do it cheaper like say Marshall did by just buying the core). My point is that the Supra SMIC is not at all half-assing it, so I really dont see any point in your comment.

Wow, then the approach you took toward your SMIC is not so different from Rutapoutpks's approach toward fuel management. It's not half ass, it's the best bang for the buck.
Wouldn't you say:
1) Stock exhaust is the best bang for the buck
2) FMU is the best bang for the buck
3) You mom is the best bang for the buck

actually, i found fireworks to be the best bang for the buck. stock exhaust blows. might as well weld it shut it flows so well..

dont' get me wrong, i have seen plenty of dumber people on here before, but you are definitely right there with them. the supra SMIC was a revolutionary find in the DSM world.. hmm.. 5x the flow for $100, that really jsut sucks doesn't it? i mean, why not just spend $1000 more and get 7x the flow instead? :rolleyes: you know what, i had more to say, but sleep is more important than making fun of you, you aren't worth my time.
