thanks guys! i love my turbo! did the install with the help of a friend. took me 2 days cuz I had to work Saturday night. would of finished it then.
but seriously, im not pushing my turbo hard right now. Most of the time I'll accelerate at 3-4 psi of boost IF that. Half the time traffic's in the way anyways.
as for the intercooler, that is my next purchase. just need to save some money first. i have a scholarship check in the mail (he he) and plus I'm doing my taxes early so I can get my refund ASAP. My birthday is also next month. I'll prolly get a GReddy FMIC since its made for my turbo, but I want to make sure it fills my bumper opening. don't want a small, weak looking FMIC. Any suggestions? my friends got an APEX one and its badass, but expensive. hopefully next month i'll get the intercooler.
boost gauge is Autometer (Lunar Series) and someone on Honda-tech.com told me its spiking and the cold weather has tendencies to do that. so any other ideas?
i'll definitely look into the TurboXS sMBC, but I really want an electronic boost controller but they are expensive. Can I eventually raise up to 10 psi with the TurboXS sMBC?
My setup is:
GReddy TD-04 Turbo (92-95) @ 6 psi
GReddy Type S BOV
GReddy Turbo Timer
Autometer A/F and Boost gauge
Stock injectors, plugs, and wires
93 octane gas
15W-50 Oil
Tanabe Super Racing Medallion Exhaust
Stock Cat
I think thats all thats applicable for the turbo.
As far as the boost goes, if it does hit 7 psi it goes right back down to 6 or "5.5" from the factory since I haven't messed with actuator. its hard to watch it and keep my eyes on the road. oh well... sorry for the long post.
Later!
