Re: All parts purchased, waiting on USPS! 7/09/2007 - My Turbo shopping list
Dude you're almost there though. Do you think another 26 ponies would kill your engine? Honestly I would just want to be able to hit it one time on the dyno, safely, and not run it daily. Just to know that I could do it. I'm going to make the engine as bullet proof as possible. We'll see what happens really. If I don't make 400, then so be it, I know I'll be close.

There's a good chance that I'm not going to answer your PM.
Re: All parts purchased, waiting on USPS! 7/09/2007 - My Turbo shopping list
Yeah but you're talking one pass under controlled situations. Could you do it and get away with it? Probably. Would it be worth potentially toasting the motor for one 400 whp pass on pump gas? Hell no.
And believe me, I wasn't pushing that power level daily. I dialed it down a few psi for street driving. I was pushing about 350 whp ballpark....

That's really all I'm looking for honestly. I can't imagine running very high 300s daily with the one drive wheel monster that we have. We'll see how hight this setup lets me get. I know the injectors will be out the door in favor of some kitchen faucets as even the SRT-4s probably can't throw enough fuel to safely run much above 300. I'm just enjoying learning how to do this stuff and seeing tangible results on the car and the big fucking grin in the rearview mirror.

I don't know how far that d16 intake is going to get you, to be honest. It might not be a bad idea to start looking into a custom intake or maybe trying a venom or edelbrock intake from a d16 and see if you can get something to fit. As far as injectors go, 750cc with a return system and rising rate fpr should support 500 whp.
Re: All parts purchased, waiting on USPS! 7/09/2007 - My Turbo shopping list
I'm already looking into a custom intake and would like to fab it myself. I'm about to go take some welding classes locally to learn how to TIG and am researching which TIG setup to go with when I get back to the states. Having other people do my work for me sucks so I may as well do it myself. That way its on my terms, my schedule, and there's that whole control freak thing I've got going on.
I've got a guy who's supposed to be making a custom IM for me after he finishes his brother's (green91 and buds302), so I'm going to compare the two when that comes and use them as a baseline for the one that I want to make.
Gotta get the rising rate FPR so until I buy that, I'm not going to convert to the return system. Its the last part I need since my spare rail is ready to go with the AN fitting welded on. Thanks for the advice though Andy.

The stock Honda pre-cat pipe is just like a padded bra. It looks much bigger on the outside than it actually is. What looks like a a 2 1/4" pipe, is actually a double-walled pipe, with the standard 1.75" soda straw hiding inside. If you're boosting and keeping the stock cat, cut this bitch off and get a regular piece of pipe welded to it.
Well.... um, you can make an analogy for the rear end of the cat... but, there's a restrictor donut in there too. You need to hack off the other flange as well, or bore out the hole in it to run a true 2.25" exhaust. Otherwise you still have a clog.
Re: Speedfoos' Turbo shopping list and Tips thread (9/03/07 update)
Keep in mind that there is about $1800 in parts that you don't normally buy for a custom setup (new radiator, Ingall's Stiffy, expensive UK welding, etcc..) that add about $1000 to my Stage 1 setup.
Yeah, saw that yesterday as well Justin. There's no way to bore it out, since after the donut gasket is the actual 2" cat exit pipe. I think I'm going to cut off an extra flange I have laying around on an old de-cat pipe, and take that stock one off. That should also trim up the length problems I'm having right now.
