Just check on clamps and pipes, to make sure they are tight and connected.
BTW. you have 22weeks to learn. (That is like what, almost a half of year)

well the $$ wont be a problem....and im small ehough to sit cumfortably in the passanger side of the car w/ the seat all the way back (were your feet go) emanager shouldnt be that much of a problem i had to re-wire my vafc so im somewhat of a pro when it comes to my ecu. i am alitte worried about the tunning though...how much did it run you guys to tune?

 
Rep Power: 297

BLOWN TURBO was my number one problem.. lol... we still need to meet up yo.. lol

 
Rep Power: 607

would you care to make a bet

 
Rep Power: 297

oh yea.. if you need tuning done and what not i'll help you on that since you only live in the same area as me...

 
Rep Power: 297

money wasnt a problem with me.. just the fact that a blew the damn thing.. and instead of wasting money on fixing it i though i would just do a motor swap instead

 
Rep Power: 326

Head gasket
clutch
spark plugs
map sensor
rings+pistons
tires
misfiring
i blew a coil once!

The other stuff shouldn't really be a problem if it's all done correctly. IE, leaks, blown turbo (sometimes defective), wiring isn't a problem, its just hard...

I dunno, everything that could go wrong on my old set up went wrong. So I listed some major probs I could remember.

 
Rep Power: 284

know of anyones crank bearings to go bad?

yea..40,000 says i wont have a problem lol . I dont plan on running that much boost maybe 5-6psi but thats about it. i dont want to do damage to the internals seeing as im not doing any internal work. i'll intall head studs so that should help some. but im not going crazy with it....when i get it i'll hit you up mike i'd like to do the install myself ( to learn) but im hesitent. how much does tunning generaly run..TOTAL.


edit: yes i know i could just buy a new car or whatever but for now im content with my civic. i just wana give it a little ummffff...and the rest of the $$ is kinda for school

 
Rep Power: 297

do what i did... boost 15lbs and watch your turbo go bye bye.. lol.. surprising my engine didnt go... but dang honda engines are built strong

I just changed my HG....only problem I've had since I've had the car....head was fine surprising considering the fact my HG has been blown since shortly after I put the turbo on (since June '04)....my HG wasnt BLOWN BLOWN but it did have pinholes in it and my compression was ALWAYS fine but my overflow tank ALWAYS stayed full and my car would run like shitt after being on it a few times consecutively. Other than that...NO PROBLEMS
