gourgous!

sweet.. it's finally here!
Now get driving that thing!

I dont understand why the BOV is on the exaust side of the turbo... or is that a bov? :confused:

Advanced the timing from 4btdc to 11btdc, 11psi of boost, Set the TPS Via ohm-meter (yeah, finally did it properly), got the intercooler re-tig welded to withstand the vibrations from the engine and uhh... I guess that is all.

On a side note, the TOB is starting to squeal like a motherfucker, so I got a clutch kit on order. ACT and Centerforce arent options for the sprint, so i'm forced to fun a dynapack... Mabye i can find a option for a lighter flywheel while things will be apart.

Its a external wastegate, not a bov.

I want one!

so instead of opening/closing a valve inside of the turbo, it re-routes the exaust when it reaches a preset boost level down a secondary pipe?

pretty much. you can recirculate it back into the exhaust system or dump it into the atmosphere. pretty much it just regulates how much boost is being created to protect the turbo from spinning beyond its capabilities and burning out. an internal wastegate wouldn't be able to handle that big of a turbo.

are u sure its an external wastegate? i would assume that turbo came with an internal wastegate stock. essentially a wastegate relieves pressure so you dont overboost. and also you shouldnt run a bov to atmosphere on your car, because i believe it was meant to recirculate air back into the intake.

arn't all turbo cars "supposed" to recirc?

a wastegate is a wastegate PERIOD. If its internal that means its built into the turbo. External is external to the turbo like shown above. Its job is to regulate airflow to the exhaust side of the turbo allowing you to control boost levels. All turbo cars from the factory are recirculated but depending on the airflow meter can be run vented.

Hmmm.... so weld my internal shut and slap one of 'them' bitches on! One day I suppose; when I have a turbo larger than a golf ball.

modded some oil onto my driveway...turns out I have a leak...I partially blame the rip with nosyt Monday night :P

also installed a deck/sub, though that's not any big woop really. found out I now have 3 amps in there, one which goes to nothing.

Perfect 154psi compression test across the board on a dry test. Now I gotta figure out what stock compression is.

I would guess 160?

yes i am aware of this, i was just referring to impulse_rs's vehicle.

modded 360 wheel at 10 psi on pump saturday.and 488 at 18 psi on c16

so your coming to the track running c16 next time right?

jfc, on what turbo?

modded the hacked ass wiring of the EK...still fuckin hacked...but a little cleaner...pretty sure im confused how VTEC works in my car right now :S....but it does...somehow...

modded the entire intake system off of the 88... does anyone know someone i could borrow an engine hoist from for beer?

modded about 35 lbs worth of stuff from the car. then added a 22" slim fan with balls, cleaned everything like a mofo, my car is turning out sooo honda-tech

Pulled engine/trans on the flee. Took from start/finish about 1hour, than lifted it out by hand :D

You used the degreaser correct?

Forgot to ask if you had the bottle still. That stuff works excellant.

i have it ryan
