Hey man I would love to see your turbo kit. I live in Charlotte maybe we could hook up after the install and I could see your car. I am thinking about going to turbo too! But I just a little more motivation to do it. Let me know if you want to do something.

I'll snap ya some pics tonight if anyones at the shop. The only worries we have are the piping from the compressor side to the driver side inlet to the intercooler may hang a lil' low. Hangs about an inch lower and my cars lowered 1.5", so we might have to do something about that. Other than that, the piping is sexy as hell! The BOV lays right under the hood

Rep Power: 284 everything's done, but i'm running with only one problem. I used the ICU setting's CrewChief suggested......and......at full throttle it kinda boggles around like it's running WAY to rich, but if you only do 1/4 throttle, HOLY SHITZ!, it pulls!.....so i dunno what the hecks with that. Any clues?

Like I said lean it down and it should be fine. you have to take in consideration temp and elevation. Those are just base settings to get you started. I had to lean mine down now that I am in Cali. Germany had really cold weather and really high altitude but I was using 103 octane there. Just take it down some. use the settings I gave you on msn mess and that should fix it. let me know how they work for you. every place is different for a car. You have to tune for the area.

Rep Power: 297 with it that cold out you should richen it up from the settings I gave you. those settings are for the summer just to get you started. remember cold= more air in the intake so more fuel to compensate.

Rep Power: 284 /\/\ I have a T25bb just like crew chief. Got in contact with Jesse from Turbo-kits.com and he sent me the factory recommended settings for the T25 kit on our civics. The car is now running like a champ!
I've added an attachment with the file he sent me for the settings. It's a .pdf file.
