Re: Where the F*$% is the Oil Coming From?! - (Pg. 122) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread
I'm sure this question has already been asked, but 124 pages of thread is a lot to remember, and even more to look back on. How much HP are you expecting at the wheels here? Would you rather not have done this setup on a RWD or AWD car?

Re: Where the F*$% is the Oil Coming From?! - (Pg. 122) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread
Well, I'm building what I have. Since it's a FWD Honda Civic then that's what I'm working on. Honestly, it's six of one, half dozen of the other as far as what I'm working on. I love the Honda (most of the time) so I don't mind that it's FWD and can't put power to the ground unless you have tires made out of glue.
At this point, I'd be happy with about 220-230 on the dyno with my current setup. If I can ever get this voltage gremlin figured out, I'll dyno it.

Nothing like haulin ass in a 1.7 SOHC FWD Honda...especially when you wax a 5.7l v8
Well I now have a small amount of coolant on the plugs.......still no leaking headgasket...holds pressure, no overheats, & no coolant in cylinder. Even after being on plugs. I cannot find anything. Since you had all of the same issues and only a new head fixed, I believe I'm in the same boat.
I believe car heats up expanding a hairline facture in cylinder head causing coolant push. Only thing I can think of. Probably happened at tuner......didn't have these problems before turbo...and I have never overheated it at all!
Just a little update on my ride.......You got DVOM yet clint? Multimeter? Go buy a cheapy at the parts store. All ya need to start electrical testing! I can get ya any schematic ya need. It's just 2 clicks away on my desktop at work

My multimeter broke last week and I haven't gotten a replacement yet. Gonna pick one up again tomorrow. First one was a $6 Harbor Freight cheapie, but it lasted for 4 years, so I got my money out of it. And yeah, I've got a Mitchell login and password to pull the diagrams here at home as well. Gonna start with those and see what I can find. I just hate dealing with electronics. I made a thread about it, but there are only 2-3 hardcore circuit heads on the site and they're not around much.
Re: Where the F*$% is the Oil Coming From?! - (Pg. 122) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread
thats a badass gremlin.
Well since everyone is stating there problems.. might as well post mine from school.
I had to do an R&R on a little Mercury 2-stroke 8 horse. The little bastard had 5 destroyed gaskets. Then i had some continuous backfire coming from one of the intake port side gaskets. I replaced that, and it kept on backfiring from the same place. It seems that someone had tried re-threading the center hole of that plate cover thing, and did a terrible job on it. So i have to re-fill it, and re-thread it. Also, the engine wont idle, without it being 1/4 WOT, it just sputters and dies after about 2 seconds...
Marine Tech ftw!!... soon ill have threads like the great Foos once made.. or is still making.
Re: Where the F*$% is the Oil Coming From?! - (Pg. 122) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread

Re: Where the F*$% is the Oil Coming From?! - (Pg. 122) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread
ok, heres the lowdown on ur old head Clint, its .005 out from being true, with an allowance of .002, so i just need to find if having .003 shaved off will be possible, just for when i get ready to boost in a year or so.
btw Clint, here is how "well" UPS handled the package...
note the three holes in the side where the IM studs passed through
anyway, i got a new bolt for a dollar, so no sweat, and i got the old bolt out in a jiffy, good old two bolt trick worked like a charm(yes Clint, u were right again) good luck on ur trip! later

Glad everything is working out Adam. I should think that the head will be fine with that amount shaved off of it. You could clay the pistons to be sure though.
Ben, wouldn't that make it harder to mess with the mani and whatnot? I need the studs to hold that fucker on there during de-installs and all my numerous repairs.
