That's the same thing that happened to me when I exploded my trans. I saw the line of tranny fluid in the road so I knew something was broke. Rolled it in the garage and jacked it up just to see where the fluid was coming from and there was a huge ass hole in the bottom. After seeing that I knew it was fucked, then I lost all motivation and didn't even take another look at the car till 6 months later :rotfl: :rotfl:

Have you ever driven a turbo k20 with a GT30? My setup has amazing response extremely little lag. And it's nothing fancy. Sure on paper the twin scroll is better, but I bet you would hardly feel a difference in then car with a turbo as small as the GT30.

I live near 2 stations and within a third (although the third is rather far) so I am going to try to use the local stuff first. I need to pick up an E85 tester and go from there. Also the 8th gens have an issue with our fuel gauge, it eventually stops working when using e85, so I'm going u have to coat the fuel sender circuit board to try to prevent that from happening.

#fastest of the hypothetical/ prospective car crew member #1
Honestly from my experience in going to disagree. At the track, in assuming by track you mean drag strip because none of the turbo setups here are appropriate for road tracks, I launch with slicks at 6000epm, the turbo spools instantly as I pop the clutch. You are shifting so fast and can power shift every shift other than into 2nd (on a stock trans) thus making the turbo hardly lose any boost between shifts. I doubt it would even make a 10th of a difference on a drag strip with a turbo like a GT30. Now for something huge like a 6767 or GT42/45 or any of those monster turbos it would probably help some, but still be rather marginal. And other than you and a few others on here, most of these cars are street cars first intended to be enjoyed, and you don't get much enjoyment looking at numbers on paper, at least I don't.

just means you'll break traction 300 rpms earlier.
:yeahthat;: even with longer gears than stock (4.3 fd with z3 gears) I can break traction in third if it's slightly cold out, the tires aren't fully warmed up yet, or it's even slightly damp.

For all those continually stock piling parts but not really getting to finish and enjoy the build, I highly suggest you just finish it with what you have and go enjoy it! These cars/motors are so damn fun boosted! No reason to get all caught up in making it the *best* possible setup on paper because there is always something better coming out.

we should just combined our builds and just maybe come up with a whole working car lol
:wavey: mine is working

My car will never see the drag strip. It will only be on the street occasionally and spend most of its time on road courses and driving events.
For that type of driving I would suggest a turbo no larger than a GT30, and making it spool faster is just going to make it harder to drive around a road course.

Its kinda funny how all of us are pretty much in the same area....MD, DEL, and Virginia.
Yeah, there are a lot of boost 8th gens in MD/VA area on 8thcivic.

All you really need fuel wise for a boosted setup is injectors and pump. I made 460whp on stock returnless fuel system, only upgrades were a walbro 255 and ID 1000cc injectors. Now I have a fuel return, but I'm still using the stock fuel rail and stock feed line as my return.

I shouldnt have either.....Being a douche about it. I told him I wanted it back and now hes like my car wont run without it. I said you were just suppose to use it until you got yours, but he never ordered it......Now he wants to give me money for a new one. Oh well kpro v3 here I come.

Shit if your giving me money for a brand new kpro v3 anyone can use my kpro whenever lol lol

I could see if he borrowed it and is like ill give you a couple hundred bucks for it....... But I dont think imma be on kpro much longer, i wanna switch but what has me worried is the tuning software difference :(

Ya jendry who I on here but not much and also on 8thcivic, just replaced his gears with the gear-x drag set. It's priced around $1800 for gears 1-4 and a main shaft. I'm interested in them because only gears 3 and 4 are rated at high hp, I believe 500+, so that's probably part of the reason they are able to cut costs, which is great for turbo guys because we aren't making big power till 3rd and 4th anyway.

Helical have more mesh area which actually make them strong. The other thing that people believe is that they are more efficient with drive train loss. They are actually but the difference is very little. The only thing the straight cut has significantly over helical is the load that helical puts on the axels and trans case, but for someone like me that will stay around the 5-600hp range ill be buying the gear x helicals.

yeah, the reason race teams use straight cut is because of the load that helical puts on the tranny case. They would have to beef up the case and that adds weight.

My bigger welder is capable of doing both those jobs.

Good welding, yes. Welding to save a bay, no. It takes a lot of practice and trial and error.

oh ok, well like i meant fabbing up brackets and misc. stuff that you really cant buy? maybe some tubing? like would the average mig do that fine and look ok? or is tig just the way to go for everything?

[Turpid Porpoise]

Brackets are fairly easy to weld especially if you have some spare metal you can practice on to figure out the heat/wire speed before starting. Same for tubing. My welder is nothing special and it can handle that. Welded up the exhaust on my truck a few weeks ago.

Yea it's easy to mess up what you're working on with too much heat. I always start low on a practice piece and work my way up until I can get a nice consistent weld going.
