As it stands right now my Civic looks like this:

  • Turbonetics T3/T4 turbocharger
  • Godspeed intercooler, BOV, wastegate, cast manifold, downpipe and manual boost controller
  • AEM fuel rail
  • AEM adjustable fuel regulator
  • Denso Blue Top 450cc injectors
  • Walbro 255 LPH internal fuel pump
  • F1 Racing Stage 3 clutch kit
  • ASA 17" aluminum rims
  • Fuzion tires
  • Form and Function F1 full coilover kit
  • Skunk2 rear camber kit
  • Glowshift fuel/air, boost, and voltage gauges
I am awaiting an oil pressure gauge, Cometic head gasket, and ARP headstuds.

Car is waiting to go on the dyno for tuning. It is currently running Chrome for OBD1. Until recently, this car was an automatic OBD2. This had to go bye bye.

I didn't feel like forking out $200 for each AEM gauge, so I bought Glowshift. Are there any other reliable gauges that are under $75 each?

Once I am done installing the ordered parts and getting it Dyno tuned (with 3 updates), I think I am done for awhile. I am not panning on running more than 225 HP at the wheels, someday I may decide to go further with this project. Any recommendations on what I should do?

Yep....total rebuild......by a race shop. Now that I have the rebuild complete with forged pistons etc......I can't wait to see how much boost it will take.

Auto hd to go!

With CP forged pistons / rings, stock rods, Ferrea valve set, King bearings, ARP headstuds, and Cometic Gasket, what should I try for boost from a Turbonetics T3/T4? Engine ported, polished, and milled. I want to push over 300 whp once I get this on the Dyno. I wish I had bought some Eagle rods, but I have heard some good things about D16Y8 rods. Thanks for the input.

Tranny is now on. Awaiting new oil feed line for turbo. Mine is too short at 32".
