Were you trying to turbo the car to be smog legal?

I just rememeber another cali member turboing (a white em2 civic) and he mentioned that an aftermarket turbo could be done if the piping was done correctly; and I see that you do have that recirculation pipe so that is why I'm asking; I believe he mentioned that.

Yeah! Shawn will be working his magic for sure.

Well even after having the choke section removed from my exhaust I only made 235whp & 206 ft/lbs torque @ 13 PSI. We then unbolted it after the cat and tried again. With an open DP i made.... Well my clutch slipped like a bitch but I made ~ 218 ft/lbs at 5k rpms before the slippage.

Im not trying to be smog legal. I just don't want to do a return fuel system because everything I have changed needs to be put back stock before smog. I left the tuner with the gas light on and no leaning out. I diddn't change any of the fuel lines or anything. I just added a boost refrence port to the regulator. My injectors where at about 52 % duty on the last run.

soo.. does that mean ur happy with the results? or could it have been better.. any pics n vids??

 
Rep Power: 300

im getting a custom exhaust, a different clutch and going for more. I dont like how late the boost comes on cause its all choked up. Im going with 3" piping.

Numbers seem low but hey you're fully built and have a safe tune. Enjoy that bad boy. Something tells me next time around will bring bigger numbers; you've got a great platform to go from now.

 
Rep Power: 300

well im sure its the exhaust. Even shawn said that because It really wasnt making anymore power with higher boost. Once we unbolted it the turbo spooled about 1k rpm's sooner then before and thats when the clutch died lol.

Good to know. All the more reason for me to buy my welder and make my new exhaust soon. Glad to here your fuel setup works well and can stay hidden in the tank to fool the Cali enviro-*****.

What was your redline with kpro im just curious? I'm assuming you have a t3/t4 not sure what trim but you did mention you have a later spool, so I'm guessing you have like a 60 A/R?

 
Rep Power: 300

the fuel cut is set to 7500 rpms Its just the stock turbo with the Dezod kit. The only reason it spools later is cause of the exhaust.

You have the Precision 50 trim with a 48 A/R if I recall. Exhaust restriction PWND j00 mang!

congrats! when u get ur lil problem all fixed up, try and get some vids on the dyno.

Well last i checked you could cheat.... doing it at the tank so you could never find it. i was going to do that but decided not to.. Just would require a T fitting and putting the Pressure regulator there.

 
Rep Power: 300

ya but in the tank is even more hidden haha. One problem tho... the car heats up now, at low speeds it will get to like 225f then I turned on the heater and it went right down so I gotta figure out what the deal is. I hope its not a head gasket...

 
Rep Power: 424

Sounds like a headgasket to me.... sure fire check is the full coolant bottle. what did you torque the studs down to?

Your power seems a little low for the boost level, but you are running 91 octane (stupid california) and clogging the **** out of it. But then again, on a full 2.25" exhaust my little turbo made more power than that on less boost. Check around while you're at it. Open downpipe is a whole lot different than running a full exhaust.

 
Rep Power: 300

The studs are at 80 ft lbs. I was really thinking it was the hg because the coolant bottle is totally full.

well I know the torque shot WAY up with the exhaust taken off so I may just have a cut out welded in so I can have the power when I want it and have it quiet all the other time.

Have a custom 2.5" made to mate to the downpipe and use a nice bullet resonator like this:


and a muffler like this:

Chech this site out for exhaust, they made an exhast that produces a vacum helping the exhasut flow and helps reduce turbo temps. Here is the vid page:

Also, for cooling might I suggest EVANs waterless NPG coolant: http://www.evanscooling.com/catalog/C_npg1.htm#outline

Yeah, been looking at the Aero resonators. They're nice, but you pay for it.

 
Rep Power: 300

well for now im just going to troubleshoot the overheating issue. I know my fans kick on and it really doesn’t heat up till im stopped with the A/C on. When I have no ac it doesn’t get above 210 degrees

 
Rep Power: 312

sorry i couldnt make it out there with you bob. so much for 300. haha. If it ends up being the head gasket...let me know...ill come give you a hand replacing it. this time lets try and not make such a huge mess. hahah

Pretty common with these cars, the additional load and turbo. Can K-Pro adjust fan control? I am assuming it can.

 
Rep Power: 300

ya... I have the fan set to come on at 205f and the overheat temp to 220f should I have the fans come on earlier? What freeks me out is that my coolant overflow seems to actually overflow. Hey you wanna help me out on a clutch Im looking at the competition clutches stg 3 segmented clutch.

 
Rep Power: 0

Have the fans come on at 195 and over heat temp to 215. Is there a capacity draw for the fans? Also, is there an ability to operate just one fan or both? I know the 2nd fan kicks on with the A/C on.

PM sent.

 
Rep Power: 300

both fans come on at the same time when the temp is up and also with the a/c on. I think the fans draw about 4 amps each.

 
Rep Power: 300

Well I drove it around for like 10 mins and looked at the exhaust to see if I could see steam and I diddn't. I then let the car idle for a minute or 2 in my driveway and there was a small puddle of water under the tailpipe. So im pretty sure the car is using coolant. Im gonna pressure test the cooling system tomorrow to see what happens.

 
Rep Power: 424

You probably blew it. Dont trust the diagnostics too much. My car showed good compression and leakdown, held pressure, etc... and the HG was blown in all 4 cylinders.
I think you're head is on a bit too tight. Honda spec is 49 lb-ft. Most people go 5-10 lb-ft over the spec. I hope you didnt warp the deck.

 
Rep Power: 300

ooh **** your rite HAHAHA I was lookin at Nm ROFL dumb *** mistake on my part. Ok well the head comes off tomorrow I guess. Hopfully everything is still flat.

 
Rep Power: 424

Check the studs for stretch. If they stretched out of spec, replace them.... and check the units this time
