    This car is a bad idea

    Honda=crappy f/i motor, thats the first Ive heard that one:) I can't ever say all honda motors are THE weakest platform to boost on, thats just a really bold and ignorant statement. Honda blocks are usually not designed for high boost, but its really not the blocks that cant take it, it IS...

    Someone help and correct if wrong

    I quoted the wrong kit, as I stated I believed it was the GReddy. It was actually the Drag kit that has the t3/4. I know of a guy who has no problem keeping it on boil in not the B16 (8000, 160hp dohc vtec), but actually in his D16 engine (7000 rpm redline and SOHC VTEC). I cant imagine a 127...

    In short, you can get cheap insurance, called liability. Basically insuring anything you may hit, but not yourself or car. Thats my unserstanding of it at least. Ill be looking around for insurance really soon as I now graduate and hopefully move into the police world. Wonder how they look...

    Lag, personally, I like the kick to the pants. Depending on the cars ability to keep in the turbo on upshifts, a little bit of lag may not be such a bad thing. Noone will know for now, but a chip/boost controller and maybe some bigger injectors will go a long way in giving a lot more power. I...

    Agreed. Stereo isn't much of my thing anymore. I figure the money I can get from it would be a good portion of a real intercooler. I, as of today, am 23, but still will be paying much money in the way of insurance. I need the less expensive original route, with the most potential.

    New to the board but Ill get started sayin this car is nice. Ive got a civic now, and as an old 323 owner (89 LX), Im ready to come back. I love my honda, but Ive been watching mazda and waiting for another turbo. I crapped myself when I saw this forum and I must say, 170 is a good thing...

    first post here, but like you were asking. The turbo is small, t25 isnt as big as they get, but theyre not awful. It may be possible to swap in a t3/4 and get some more juice. If the the compression is 9:1 like some were saying, detonation shouldnt be a problem. All speculation, but of the...
