Tuning is ongoing right now. It's being done via email since no one in the UK knows what to do with this engine or the EMS. Chris of BNT Performance is doing the tuning for me and it's working great so far.

As far as power...hell I have no idea. Apparently there's a dyno setup at the strip next weekend and I may throw it on there once between runs down the strip to see where I'm at.


And yeah dopes6070, I think boosting in first will be something I avoid from now on, she just breaks loose and hits the rev limiter before I can even blink. What amazes me is that this is only 5.5 psi. I still have 3.5 more psi to tune for!

damn foos, im jealous.... you suck

[speedfoos]

LOL March - put that in your Si and smoke it!

[DaRk_MauL]

hey foos wel i was happy in your place too man. cant wait till i get there but
i got my 2de D17a9 engine and slowly starting the build.


How your oil temp because i still want to compare find mine strange
going up to like 248F maybe i realy need to try 5w20 full synthetic.
Oh i checked the circuit diargam again with a friend that know a little
more about it so, .... yor fans should work fine also with everything
from the ac circuit gone.

peace

[speedfoos]

Ooooo!!! Lookee there! Can't wait to see the progress on it man!

Hmm. I might swap the fan relay out then, since that's probably what went bad. That manual switch I put in is for the birds.

My oil temp doesn't go above 220F even when I'm driving the shit out of it. That's on 5W30 synthetic. I would run that if I were you. It dropped 20F from 5W20 synthetic and that oil (10W40 right?) you were running is way too thick for our little oil pump.

New 3" inlet/outlet Magnaflow cat and 3" piping has just been ordered. Thanks Uncle Summit!

[MarchMadnessisM]

you know what foos ima get boosted eventually n my Si will smoke ur ass lol but till then i cant say shit u win haha

[greeen01civic4d]

foos finally learned his lesson, use summit, not autozone, and never Napa, congrats on the magnaflow

Aside from that, you'd have to compare compressor maps and a bunch of technical stuff that I don't have a good grasp of yet to really compare them.

Whoa! Whered these updates came from! Those videos are awesome.. hopefully ull have some videos from the track..not just some ones from in the car but the ones on the outside of u smokin whoevers out there.. looks good, conrats.. 9psi will be godly!!

[sql_civic]

The vids look great.

Gotta disagree about the NAPA comment. I been using them for like 30 years. The guys that run the counter are all ex-mechanics or machinists with 10 plus years of experience instead of the min wage High School drop-outs you find in those other parts stores. Anyways, not trying to start an arguement but rather just trying to say something remotely relevent to the thread on a post so I can find where I left off a week from now.

are u going to be boosting 9 psi? with stock internals ?? is that something i should be worried about .. im going to be tuned at 5 psi .. but if i don't see 180whp .. i wana crank it up ?? gimme some input

[7thgen.nick]

im hoping to get 180 with stock internals at 6psi. well see...

That turbo and mine aren't in the same class so you can't really compare them. It's a .48 A/R whereas mine is .63 A/R plus it looks like a sleeve bearing turbo vice a ball bearing turbo that mine is. Now that is not to say there is anything wrong with it. It will probably spool about as fast mine, it's a smaller turbo but from what I understand, the response time on a sleeve bearing is a titch slower than a ball bearing. You will make more power at lower levels of boost than I will though, that's for sure. I would say go for it. It's a great turbo that won't break the bank.

Hey Carl, I hear you about Napa or any other brick and mortar store that you can walk in and talk to someone. Even at Autozone, there's usually one guy who knows what's going on. But online sales, I'll never deal with anyone else but Summit for routine parts if I can help it.

RSX-S injectors max out at around 5-6 psi so you need to be sure your car can dump enough fuel to not blow up when you "crank it up". The internals 'should' take it though. I'm a little worried about 9 psi to be honest with you. That mark is general statement and 9 psi is different with each turbo. So we'll see.

no i agree about napa, their employees are great, really know what they are doing, but their parts are crap, put an alternator on the sisters car, and it went out in 10 minutes, literally!!! then a belt on my car, and poof half way home, snapped off, sucked, i just decided to go orieley's, cuz i know what i need, dont need them to know

hey foos, id like to see some drive by vids, shifting and boosting, and blow off valving, making all kinds of noise, and going fast!!! sorry bout the rant, im just excited to see 9 pis, and u sharing it with us
