sohc?

12/9/2005 4:20:43 PM

t88
it's a tohc.

12/9/2005 4:27:32 PM

can you not make up your mind on rims? i like the dark 5 stars the best. how much that intercooler run you.

12/9/2005 4:40:26 PM

gullible

haha nah it's not a t88... just a little 14b on a sohc, lame i know

but yeah, i like rims too.. it's a spearco intercooler and aluminum piping from a drag kit. everything in the pic cost me $215 shipped couldn't pass it up.

BUT now I have to buy a Blitz BOV because that's the flange the piping has on it. Gives me a good reason to get rid of the 1g dsm anyway

its not lame... @least you're doing something

i respect a turbo civic more than a stock evo... just cause the civiv guy @least has some passion about whats going on.

12/9/2005 4:46:50 PM

true, thanks

12/9/2005 5:45:08 PM

i like it

12/9/2005 6:26:52 PM

and thats why i have shit delivered to my work now.

12/9/2005 9:37:31 PM

Joel .what dem thingies you got there?

12/9/2005 9:45:57 PM

thats a supercharger coupler for a eaton M90, i actually only bought one, that is the pic from the guy who sold it to me on ebay. its the part that wears out and causes that marble in a tin can rattle at idle on supercharged GM 3800's.

12/9/2005 9:54:17 PM

What is it made of?

12/9/2005 9:57:23 PM

kryptonite. nah seriously i dont know, appears to be some type of strong polymer resin.

12/9/2005 10:07:13 PM

Looked like Delrin. Ill have to check it out on the 3800sc motor in my garage.

12/9/2005 10:10:48 PM

UPS fucked me

they lost my fuel injectors about two months ago, and I had to go through some bureaucratic bullshit to file a claim

12/10/2005 1:27:22 AM

dave these green ones are supposedly made from something different than the stock ones. and youll have to pull the nosedrive off the SC to get to it.

12/10/2005 8:43:32 AM

that kit at the top looks like some weak ass sauce

ps didnt read it

12/10/2005 8:46:09 AM

yeah, it is small as fuck. but then again, it is for a civic. hell, turbo a civic and it still can't beat a stock maxima or the likes.

12/10/2005 9:44:36 AM

^

12/10/2005 11:30:57 AM

if it's tuned right fuck yes a turbo civic with a small turbo and wallop a maxima, depending upon the year.

why would u want a big turbo for city driving anyway? i like when turbo's spool up fast compared to having to wait all day for it.

I think its cool and all that it is being worked on, but this is like taking a shitty car and dropping $5000 rims on it.

Start with a better platform. That is, unless the internals are being beefed up though with such a small turbo I don't see that as the case.

12/10/2005 1:52:45 PM

all evo guy has to do is chip it and he has his respect back.

12/10/2005 1:56:06 PM

It's just a personality conflict.

Me, I'd rather just suck it up for a couple years, save my money, find a WRX and start from there rather than spending a couple grand on a turbo'd civic that still isn't that fast with a small turbo.

12/10/2005 2:01:53 PM

^i didn't even spend a grand on my kit. and i see turbo sohc's walk wrx's all day (maybe not off the line )

12/10/2005 5:27:41 PM

the power steering cooler in my audi is bigger than that

12/10/2005 5:46:41 PM

because a power steering fluid heat exchanger is an efficient bar and plate core roughly 2" thick

12/10/2005 6:15:13 PM

it really isn't THAT small... definitely not the biggest thing in the world, but i have no need for a big fmic. this one will support 300whp and that's way over my goals for the car.

12/10/2005 6:55:09 PM

i want a turbo civic

or suck it up and ill buy a ricey srt4

12/10/2005 7:09:50 PM

you can polish a turd, but it's still a turd...

a turbo civic is still slow

12/10/2005 7:47:12 PM

that's funny coming from a dsm'er. we're the biggest turd polishers of them all

12/10/2005 8:11:02 PM

you have no space to speak on polishing a turd

what the fuck is this bulshit

you've lost ur righst to attack a clean civic with some nice mods.

12/10/2005 8:27:15 PM

^that's assplay

is that a dx on the front of your civic? bhahahahaha

12/10/2005 10:42:56 PM

it's even better that he's advertising the fact that it's a dx. when it goes cruisin by your car it would be the ultimate embarrassment

man i love civacs im such a ricer

only 1000 for that kit what are u using for fuel management? using dsm injectors?

and my slow shit too for that matter

i was laughing at the fact that it was a sleeper, which i think is cool/sneaky. and just about anything on the road can pass my slow shit.

12/11/2005 1:09:37 AM

haha it's really not a dx... i put that on there just to fuck around.

but yeah, dsm 450's with p28 chipped uberdata. obd1, obviously

12/11/2005 2:41:04 AM

yep my next car is going to be a civic doesnt matter if it's a dx do a mini me head swap then turbo it. i hear vtec becomes a bitch when boosted though.


eh nm.. next car 90-93 teggy

exactly.

huntman, you rolled your eyes at my comment but think about it for a second. a stock civic runs in the 17s in the 1/4. a stock maxima runs in the low 14s. you think a turbo is gonna put your car in the low 14s? if you do, then i understand why you wasted $4000 on a turbo kit for a civic. so again i say.....

you have no idea what you're talking about, seriously. and im too lazy too try to knock some sense into your head.

12/11/2005 10:04:29 AM

uhhhh, ok. if you say so.

but since you're saying i'm the one who doesn't know what i'm talking about, tell me this, how fast do you think your car is going to go after this mighty, mighty, turbo install?

[Edited on December 11, 2005 at 10:07 AM. Reason : -]

12/11/2005 10:05:59 AM

hhahah thats pathetic.

my stock SUV can beat the civic in the 1/4

lol

kill yourself now.

12/11/2005 10:08:31 AM

...and did you read where i said i have less than a grand in my turbo kit?

i dont know where you're getting this $4000 crap...

think about this: a civic si runs mid 15's in the 1/4. put the right turbo on it, and it could in the 13's. now, if you're serious about things, you'll probably start off with a lighter chassis. maybe an eg. turbo a gsr motor in an eg, you're in the 12's range. throw on a decent suspension setup and it'll walk circles around you're maxima on the track, and you still spent 20 grand less than a sweet maxima.

12/11/2005 10:12:45 AM

^but you don't have that.

and to get into the 12s, you better have a fully stripped car that houses that boosted B18C1. and you better do a little more than just putting the turbo'ed motor into the car.

you never said "you're car is slower than a maxima"
