GT30 might not get you to 600HP.

You get cylinders bored if they are not round. I didn't have time to wait for the shop to tell me if my cylinders needed to be bored or not so went half a mm over

I was looking at BC. Did you get the turbo cams or the NA cams? I want to see BC, drag cartel, skunk2 vs the 06 tsx cams.

[VTECFRED]

If you are shooting for 600HP daily driver you better get sleeved. 550 is pretty safe but you know you have to build your transmission so include that in your cost too.

I broke 4 th gear before I even got to 500HP

Tranny gears are expensive! Im looking at cryo or shot peen some tsx gears. After getting quotes and figuring 4k on gears is a bit high I went eith tsx 1-4 for long gearing should be fun on boost. Fred any issues with the NA cams and boost?

i have a gtx3076, its deffinatly a step up over the standard gt3076. wth why would they not be round for thou? sorry for all the Q's. as for the trans ima just play the swap game, as soon as i break a gear ill swap it with this spare trans i picked up. i got it from some mid 40 asian guy that hydrolocked his motor and bought a complete swap and it only cost me 450 bucks :)

[ksboi]

Bores can get that after time or if the motor gets to hot or throws a rod and scratches the wall. Gt or gtx will hit 600 but it may take 24 psi lol.

[fre$h si]

BTW as for having a shop machining the block, does it matter what shop i take it to or can i just take it to any random shop?


and do you guys open throttle shift? i think thatd deffinatly take away tranny life

[ksboi]

Yeah I forgot you know the Go Power guys and Vitaly. E85 will jump that HP, well if he leaves your timing alone it wont but that's not fun. I can't wait to finish tuning its been 65s-75 maybe 80s in Az. Call around and find best reputation, I tend to go to the older guys who have been machine blocks since they were 18 but any machine shop SHOULD be capable.

[VTECFRED]

No issues at all with boost on the NA cams. But that's not to say the turbo cams would have been better. I spoke with Brian and recommended these cams over the turbo cams

Geoff from full-race also recommends n/a cams over turbo cams. For simplicity he highly recommends the tsx cams.

Yeah what are you talking about ? How could anyone not like Full Race anything ? Their stuff is expensive but you get what you pay for . I will never buy anything but Full Race from now on.I learned that the hard way I bought someone else s product/manifold originally only to find myself waiting on a product that once I did get it ended up selling it and going Full Race anyway costing much more money and down time in the long run than if I had just spent the extra on FR originally .I love my full Race Manifold and will always stick with em and recommend them to anyone looking to go turbo .You can't put a price on quality :pimp:

[ksboi]

Vdubkilla go look at www.boostjunkys.com look at his civic kit and check quality. But to each they own.

[vdubkilla]

Your link does not work lol besides am sold on Full Race and I prefer to stick with tried and true and known excellent products from a company that's has a solid reputation in the industry for many years now .http://www.full-race.com/store/turbo-manifolds/honda-acura-k-series-twinscroll-turbo-manifold.html

[ksboi]

http://boostjunkyz.com/civickit.htm there you go and they are over priced. I've been to there shop and met a fab guy who quit and moved to bwrusa. But its your money and I know where they get all there metal and gauges so no way it should cost 7300.

[vdubkilla]

Just remember you get what you pay for nothing beats a solid company that stands behind their stuff and knows their stuff as well Full Race FTW imho no offense but like you said to each their own .It's gonna take one hell of a company and one hell of a price to ever change my on this topic in fact kinda doubt anyone ever will ! I am very particular and very hard to please and I really like Full race and my dealings with them. I pieced my stuff together but even for the little stuff they have been nothing short of Awesome !

Trust me I say boostjunky makes my catchcan. I do not play when it comes to quality thats is why when people order parts from me and ask for some off brand I try to steer them clear of it. You got a build thread?

I do research with what I buy now. So it may not be full race style or quality but for what I need it to do it does its purpose.

I agree full race is a bit pricey but AFI is building a reputable company and parts as well and their prices are on the rise as well. Both have great quality.

btw is there anyway to tell if a motor is all good when buying it complete besides looking for any holes? lol im buying a z1 today from a local that saw my wanted add on k20a.orgy

[vdubkilla]

Take a compression test if possible if not pull the valve cover will only take a few minutes and make sure everything looks ok under there , make sure the oil looks ok other than that a good visual of the engine . Also look the seller in the eye and ask him "your sure everything is ok with this engine ? watch his response haha good luck with the possible purchase !

[1SLOWFG2]

A compression test needs to be done with the engine at operating temp. If the engine is out of the car then a leak down is your best bet . Watch you tube videos it's really easy to do. Drain the oil and feel it for metal this will indicate excessive wear on cylinder walls and bearings. Pull the plugs and pull the valve cover, turn the engine over several rotations by hand you want it to spin freely .

[vdubkilla]

So did you buy it ?? and a compression test can be done in Anartica :rotfl: just bein an ass haha it is just more accurate when the engine is up to operating temp !

[fre$h si]

I got it but I committed a sin and didn't get to the store in time to rent a compression tester or leak down tester. It cranked good, the oil looked good and under the vc looked good and no oil on the spark plugs. Only concern was that the exhaust cylinders were kinda on the heavy side with the soot and the valves were pretty white but I didn't see that till after the guys left. And a thing I also disk notice till after was the bolts on the fuel rail were loose and there is a hondata IM gasket on it so it was probally driven hard but as long as the motor is still buildable that's all I care about

[boostedRRFa5]

hey i just recently bought a SRT turbo kit and i want to get the mani,turbo,and dp heat coated. do i still need to get it heat wrapped also or buy a turbo blanket?

[PetefromtheStreets]

hey i just recently bought a SRT turbo kit and i want to get the mani,turbo,and dp heat coated. do i still need to get it heat wrapped also or buy a turbo blanket?

Those heat wraps an blankets help keep the heat isolated. I would recommend it for sure. But you could skate by without.

[Si Speed 317]

I forget where I heard this, but don't heat wrap and heat coat. But you can put a turbo blanket over heat coating on the turbo.. Idk someone else can chime in on this but I strongly suggest heat coating, I've used it on every header ive had while NA and every turbo manifold/turbo/downpipe/wastegate/dumptube I've ever had. Especially since the Si chassis have such a bad heat trap under the cowl.

[Koreo]

+1 on not heat wrapping manifold. Ceramic coat ftw.

I have a Hondata boost control solenoid for sale! Lmk anyone

[PetefromtheStreets]

Hmm. Curious why that would not a good idea to heat wrap over the coating. Trapping moisture against the coating?

[fre$h si]

I love heat wrap. I don't see how coating can hold in heat better than wrap. It's just like putting a turbo blanket on, it all does the same thing which is keep the heat inside which equals faster spool:turbohug:

[Koreo]

:turbohug:

There are two main issues with using a wrap that do not come into play when using a ceramic coating; these issues are thermal fatigue and moisture corrosion.

Wraps will decrease under hood temps, saving other components, but the life of your exhaust will suffer from its use. The use of a wrap or blanket promotes thermal fatigue of the component you wrapped. Thermal fatigue is a type of metal fatigue caused by repeated heating and cooling, it is also called creep damage. This can and does lead to premature failure of a component. Some believe that wraps help prevent this, but it’s just the opposite. I have seen many headers that have been wrapped and a few years later, there are holes in the piping. This can happen quicker than you might think. The best option to manage heat is to have your exhaust ceramic coated. The coating actually bonds to the substrate (at about 10,000 psi) and prevents the heat from soaking into the substrate. If you get it done right, the rate of expansion of the coating will match that of the substrate, or the metal your manifold is made of. Your exhaust component can usually be coated on the inside as well, giving it thermal and corrosion protection inside and outside. I had one customer that went through 3 turbine housings from cracking caused by thermal fatigue. He finally broke down and paid the minimal charge to get it ceramic coated. I followed up with him a year later and it was still on his truck and he had no further issues.

Moisture is also a problem when it comes to wrapping exhaust. The wrap will actually pull moisture in and keep it there, holding it against the component, which actually speeds up the corrosion process.

The 'true' ceramic coatings can reduce under hood temps by over 50%, and the more common cer-met or ceramic-metallic coatings can reduce temperatures from 30%-40%. Another added benefit is that you will see power gains anywhere from 3-5% by keeping the exhaust gas velocity up. Increase spool-time in a turbo system, and increased scavenging is another benefit of the increased exhaust gas velocity.

[fre$h si]

I get that point but from what I've been told by shops is that certain metal can handle it and others can't basically. I mean how many of you guys have every heard of a Full race manifold (or any other high quality manifold) having this type of damage happen?

[aLmk]

I haven't. Full race says there is no issue heat wrapping their manifold and that it will not void the warrantee.

I want to replace it with just some nylon braided fuel line but I had a question to see if I should use -4 or -6 line. I was going to use -6 just so it will go over all the way over the metal fitting that way I can tighten it down snug but the steelbraided I have used hates to be squeezed. Just wanted to know if anyone has use nylon line and if it would tighten down enough to keep from leaking fuel.

Run twin gates!!!

Nope, ones a gate and the other is a vband connection to the turbo. Gorgeous right?

[ksboi]

I mean I would run twin gates and get a nice big turbo.

[Spaz]

Well I have bad news for the turbo chat. I've made my decision and I'm no longer going to turbo I'm going to be selling all of my parts. This next summer will be the last season with my car also and then I will be parting that out as well

With all the bullshit from All In Fab it is going to cost to much to try to make his parts work. Plus I'm just frustrated and ready for a new project!

Through struggles come strength and glory. You shaved and tucked the bay for so long, giving up now is the worst time!

[Spaz]

I'm not giving up. It will be the cleanest shaved and tucked NA RSX around lol I'm out of funds and have been fucked over so hard in this turbo setup I don't know what to do anymore. So I'm just canning the turbo project.

I've had some harsh experience also and decided Today that I am not going to put the blower on the stock motor. I am going to build my motor that was sleeved again and then put the blower on.

[vdubkilla]

wow guys Spaz sorry to hear about the issues but hang in there man you'll get it right and Adam sounds like a plan to me ! you have had your issues as well with your car .

[monjarassi]

Looks awesome!! Are you gonna have it coated?

Im debating at this point really, idk!!


Wow vband fancy man. I'm sorry to hear about your build thread. I've looked all over and couldn't find it either.

thanks and its crazy how it disappeared.


Looks awesome :thumb: who makes the manifold ?

Fabworx did this manifold


Run twin gates!!!

nope will be running a single 44mm

Nice! I would definitely get it coated though. Keeps heat down and thus better, safer results. And if you didn't get a gate yet, get a precision 46mm gate. Fits in a 44mm vband but the ID is 46. 2mm may seem little but less chance of creep ftw!

Also, the clamp vband design of the tial is dumb vs the precision. They're both a bolt and nut, but precision has that notch that keeps the nut from spinning so u only need 1 tool and 1 hand vs 2 tools and 2 hands in a tight area. Man i hate my tial for that reason lmao

[ksboi]

My tial has the recess for the allen bolt so I can use the tool and my hand.

[Si Speed 317]

My tial has the recess for the allen bolt so I can use the tool and my hand.

But the nut can still spin, and the locking threads on the nut make it a pita. Then again I have a different wastegate location than everyone else lmao

I'm not too familiar with the precision gates and am faithful to the tial brand. Plus I scored a 44mm tial gate for 250 shipped with dumptube shooting our the hood. Oops did I write that out loud!!!!!!!!

Lol. Can't wait to see that. I like the percision gates now that they include various springs to get to your target without having to buy more springs

what would u guys recommend for cutting a hole on my cf hood for the dumptube exit??

[Si Speed 317]

what would u guys recommend for cutting a hole on my cf hood for the dumptube exit??

I would suggest painters tape and a dremel. Less is more, so make the hole too small rather than too large. And then you can put a trim around the hole if you'd like for a cleaner look.

[PetefromtheStreets]

:Yeahthat: best way to do it. Will help with splintering. And of course measure trice, cut once.

Does the boost junkyz ic piping fit with stock battery?

Quick personal question/opinion. Derek said he's willing to work this out but I'm not sure I want to anymore. If I go with him its going to cost me another $2-3k easy to get this going.

But if I don't then I know I have around 2000 dollars that is going to go to waste because no 1 will ever buy is intercooler and piping from me.

Thoughts?!

That's a tough one. Did you get the intercooler from him? If so, tell him you just want your money back. If not, I would have a hard time trusting him to get the job done.

Theres no replacement for getting your stuff HPC or JetHot ceramic coated. VHT isn't nearly good enough. Just telling you what I knkw man

That's highly true. When I first did my stuff I didn't have the ability to send my stuff out but with appropriate prepping the vht has held up on my manifold dumptube and wg.

Thanks for being honest. I'm glad that you prepped your stuff properly the first time, I hope you plan on getting your new stuff ceramic coated though! Maybe you should see if our new vendor COPC will do any ceramic coating.. seems like a legit place and has great prices from what I hear. P.s. please make a new build thread! ♥

Get those rubber coated ones from Home Depot. Theres just one thing to drill, and unless you can fit a nut behind the bolt I'd say use a self tapper.
