turbo options

[Blk05Civic]

i was bored so i did a semi test fit

sorry..shitty pic

parts i still need and have to think about
-ECU upgrade (chipped p28 from kenji??)
-injectors (+resistor box if i use 450s)
-gauges (boost, EGT, oil press)
-maybe a walbro 255lph
-missing link

setup from the picture is:
-td04 wrx turbo (4,000 miles, mint condition basically, no shaft play)
-HF manifold
-BMC adapter plate
-2.5" downpipe
-2.5" black piping
-stainless steel oil lines
-generic FMIC
-1g DSM BOV


oh yea and this will be my hx turbo finally. shootin for january to boost.

$800?? i think you got bent over...

i see about $350-$400 worth of stuff there. not trying to be harsh, but you could have pieced that together and paid about half...

 

[Shea]

$800 for a kit with a TD04...eh maybe $600 with better turbo

 

[Blk05Civic]

yea i think i realize now i got ripped off a little bit. should have priced it better, o well nothing much i can do. there will always be better deals no matter what.

get RC injectors, the DSM hack is shitty.

 

[Blk05Civic]

damn i feel like a dumbass now paying $800 for that..


but yea i want RCs cuz i dont want a resistor box and all that.

 

[Shiznit]

yeah sorry many thats not really a good deal. shoulda shopped around. $800 can get you damn near the entire kit if not the whole thing. you just gotta look around

 

[Blk05Civic]

yea well the money is spent. now i gotta be careful and try to get my other parts for a good deal.

pfft, DSM work perfect and are about $200 cheaper than RCs

ill stick with my 450s and have money to boot

imo, its like buying knock offs of s**t. It works yeah, but its not the best.

knockoff? they are reliable enough to be OEM parts in cars that have to perform and not break, i wouldnt compare that to a knockoff.

and a 450cc injector is going to still flow 450cc no matter how much you want to spend...

I really dont want to turn this into a DSM Hack / RC injector thread. My only point is, they are made for an Eclipse, not a Honda.

p&h injectors dont run as smoothly when driven by a saturated driver. theres more 'slop' in the signal and so your not getting really precise opening and closing. it can be important if you have strict emissions, as that slop at idle means enough to make you fail. there is the argument to be made that rc's will run smoother than the dsm's, but its because of the signal, not the quality of the injector.

 

[Blk05Civic]

yea im in illinois, cant have over saturated injectors to make me fail

the RCs have a hefty price tag, plus i still need my engine management. looks like im nowhere near finished

 

[hybrdthry911]

rc injectors arent made for a honda either theyre generic. i dont think there are any significant drawbacks of running the dsm 450s with a resistor box. theyre cheap and reliable.

 

[Blk05Civic]

i have an hx. i think ill have some wiring issues with the resistor box

 

[Shiznit]

no you wont

 

[Blk05Civic]

no you wont

back from the dead..was busy with work..anyway


i thot i will have wiring issues with the 5wire o2 sensor???

btw im picking up my virgin p28 tmrw!

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

hmm...man sry u got ripped.....but not to bad....maybe 200 worth but o well s**t happens you know?

looks nice though...i will be using 450cc dsm's BUT i have the 4g civic so i dont need the resistor box

your 02 sensor has nothing do to with injectors.....heres a cheap way to hook up dsm's...

yea yea it wasnt the best deal, but whatever because if anything goes wrong i know the guy who sold it to me, he said he would fix it for free...so whatever
