Rep Power: 310

i duno if this will make sense or not.. but about how much WHP is each PSI worth on a turbo'd Civic? that's the best way i know to explain it. lol.. i suck with turbo stuff, i just wanna see how quick i can get my car without upgrading internals and everything. i'm gonna upgrade it all eventually.. but right away.. hat will 8-9 PSI be worth as far as WHP? i drive a DX, with EX Greddy Evo 2

ur internals on ur dx should be fine but make sure to upgrade ur fuel system i suggest 450cc injectors by aem or venom thats what ill be running on mine next week with 12 psi on the road but on the strip 20psi

Dude you're on a 7thgen site not 6thgen. I know you're tryng to help but your motor is different than ours. And we can;'t just slap in injectors. AEM or Venom makes nothing for our civics that's fuel related (besides things like FPR).

What boost controller were you running? Going to get some JE pistons? and Crower rods?

I have the AVC-R. I have to wait until I get back to the states, then I will get another engine and build it. For now though I just have another stock internal d17 running without the boost controller.

Ummm.... wasn't that a crack in the old block that he posted??? the first pic??? i don't think he can just sleeve it and get new pistons and rods.... NEEDS a new block from what the pic looks like...

 
Rep Power: 0

the first pic is actually the bottom of the oil pan, but there was also a hole in the block. there are a couple more pics of it all in the "my ride" section. the only thing that was completely trashed was the bottom end. the head was not damaged...thank god. pnp

I was refering to this.. and why did you edit your post? anywayz... He tore up his block... as he said above YOUR post .... He blew a hole in the block... now you tell me, can you just sleeve it while ur at it and throw in some pistons and rods on a block with a hole in it and be fine? I'm not trying to be and ***... but you called me out so i'm explaining why i said what i said...

well i originally posted "HOLY **** did that happen to you?" I edited it to ask if he was going to get some aftermarket pistons and rods. He Replied that he is going to come to the states soon and pick up a motor and build it. So then I replied Might as well sleeve it.
