Might as well sellthose headers, and what he said^.
you may wanna read more before you get that turbo installed, go to boarders, they have a couple of books on turocharging. They also have books on honda tuning, it will be in the automotive repair section, or close to it. It would also be a good idea to learn enough, in order to install it yourself so that you can fix it when it breaks.

Yep. turbos sometimes give the impression that they are forgiving, or simple bolt-ons. They definetely arent. Just when you think you have it all figured out, wham it slaps you down with another problem. I would say that you need either a big wallet or lots of mechanical insight to keep up with all the quirks boosting an NA car will throw at you. Good thing for the internet or half of us woudnt have running cars hehe

Post Alchy injection and intercooler

Bump...I want to use alchy injection and an intercooler together so I can decrease any risk of detonation. However, I read the alchy write up and it said somethin like "it wouldnt be wise to use these two together." It suggested only using water injection for external use on the intercooler to cool the air by spraying the outside of the intercooler with ice water and that more advanced car systems did this same thing. However, I dont want to put ice in my alchy/water tank every 10 minutes to keep the water cold. I like the idea of increasing octane levels and steam cleaning the inside of my engine while doing it. Any thoughts would be appreciated as well as people running this kind of system.

You should get arp Head studs, in my opinion, before you get alcohol injection.
You could also get the nitrous express intercooler cooler.

You need to get the car professionally tuned before you add anything, or in the least run a wideband so you have a clue as to what is going on in your motor....
