well after talking to the rents they said i should just keep the honda. which sucks, i wanted a EVO. damit, but o well, since i cant get something new now im thinking of doing more **** to this honda. thinking of a k swap.

i have my turbo kit sitting in my garage but idk if i wanna reinstall it or just wait and save for a k swap.

At least you arent hitch hiking. =P
If I had a turbo sitting in the garage, I would sell it for the K-Swap savings.

damn man, that sucks. a k swap would be sweet though IMO

 
Rep Power: 318

umm.... If it was me I would sell the turbo kit and get something else. Or save your money!
Seriously, its pointless to keep dumping money into the civic. K series civic are still not that "fast".

 
Rep Power: 319

yea only a K series with a turbo is "fast" ....but that'll cost u the price of the turbo kit and the K series which can get up to $16k-$18k just for the swap...i would just put it down on a faster car if it was that much and i didnt have that much money...if i did than i would blow it on the swap anyways

since when, please tell me, does a turbo kit do any good just sitting in the garage????? i think half of us would shed blood for a turbo kit rite now.

 
Rep Power: 360

save for the swap and keep the turbo kit.

Then salvage some of the turbo parts for a k20 turbo.

 
Rep Power: 360

tru. hitch hiking would suck. yeah i have been trying to sell my turbo kit for 6 months. but no one wants it.

 
Rep Power: 360

yeah that is what my friend is telling me. stop dumoing money into that car of mine.

ive been trying ot sell no one wants it. 2k. 5k miles on it. so then i thought maybe keep it and then get used d17 and built it a lil and slap it on and swap engines. but idk.

do you really think i like having 4-5k worth of parts sitting in my garage. dont think so. no one can tune e-amanage around here. they ****ed my car up doing it. so i uninstalled it. idk what else to do.

If they cann't even tune a emanage. I would not even turst them on a swap.

 
Rep Power: 360

if i could find a shop aournd nj who is honest, doesnt bullshit, knows WTF is going on, with e-manage and could hook the **** up right, then im turbo again, but until then its not worth it. i have spent 1500 the first time for the install plus some fab needed to be down, then i got e-manage installed with all the harnesses and senor, they didnt do that right(170miles on a full tank of gas) that cost 550, 3rd and final time prven in CT, took 5 weeks and they could figure anything out, why my car was running right with the e-manage.(1100) so i took everything off. i have rsx-s injectors, all the crap for e-manage, a bunch of ****. idk

 
Rep Power: 360

so how the hell can i trust. 3k for a new kit, 3100 to try and get it to work. idk someone tell me wtf went wrong

 
Rep Power: 0

OUCH after spending $3100, and still no luck getting to run right.
Was it the tunning that went wrong or installion??

Tunning. UNTIL you find a shop that know how to tune the emanage.I said find someone on this board w/ similar setup and use their map.

Installion. It should not be hard to snap a kit on. Consider I remove my kit in less then 4hours. If it is the wiring (emanage) Just find a dirgram on here and take it to the shop.

Ide say try to do it yourself. Thats what i started to do when the local shops around here started ****ing up my car.

k, well i have the tsi kit, so when i had the first place install it everything was aswome, my car felt like a dam rocket, now thats with the tsi injector control unit and the injector block witht the 2 extra injectors. so i decided i wanted to ungraded my injectors to rsx-s and get e-manage with everything. so i took my car to a well known place, turbotrix, the installed my arp head studs and i had the wire my e-manage. plus tune. didnt have the injectors yet. so they had the e-manage controling the extra injector, etc. they couldnt get the pressure senor to work, they told me there was no need for it, it doesnt do anything. im like then why would they make it?

all in all they messed up something for e-manage not being able to hold its settings. would hold for crap.

i forgot to mention that when those moreons installed my e-manage they left the tsi injector control unit in my car connected, so i left and thought about it, like didnt i ask for them to remove it, no need for it now, thats why i got e-manage. i told them to but they said it wasnt doing anything. which i find it hard to believe. so yeah my car had the ICU that came with the kit and e-manage running at the sametime. til this day no one ever listened to me when telling them "is the reaosn my car isnt running right b.c there are 2 thingws trying to control my car." they tell me no. so i said F this im taking it off if no one can be honest.

and i dont want a swap, dont wanna spend money on that, i have a brand new turbo kit with 5k on it, 3 puck clutch with act flywheel brand new, rsx-s brand new, a few other things and it sucks to see them no in use.

sorry for rambling.

 
Rep Power: 360

thats fine. i would install the kit myself and go get it tuned somewhere. but where. cause everyone blows and isnt honest.thats where im stuck.

dude you sound like a spoiled wite kid ...

"i didnt get a evo, but i still drive a new car not to mention with turbo, poor me, feel sorry for me guys, it was so sad i had to post about it"

k-swap = more reliable and u can turbo that after for even more power
turbo= instant power....less reliable

dont call me a jealous hater cuz thats so cliche

 
Rep Power: 360

MM a spoiled white kid. Wow should i lash at you. o BTW you cant spell. i guess thats lack of Education. i feel sorry for you.

my intentions are not for poeple to feel bad for me.

plus for your info i work very hard for the **** i have done to my car. i work full time, 40 hours a week. 7-3 m-f. my rents would have helped me get the EVO. sure as hell no going to call you jealous. id rather call you other things.

and this is a car forum and im pretty sure its ok to tell poeple whats goes on with getting rid of cars and buying cars even if its not a honda.

 
Rep Power: 283

Go for the K-Series even though the Evo would be nice as hell got to save up money I guess.
