IDK lol...... Cause the thing is I've really wanted to build a K of my own cause I've only helped friends build K and I've built other motors. But the problem is what am I gonna use it for after I'm done. All motor really isn't worth it power wise/cost ratio and boost is fun but I'm not gonna turbo my RSX. I could through it in something else but meh. I just need something RWD cause a K-swapped anything is fun but its still FWD at the end of the day.Quote:

Just finished putting the car back together with new 70a inserts in my hasport mounts and did a log for Vit with his prototype boost control booster that he's having me test for him.Quote:

Like my tune was setup to get to roughly 18 psi, but the boost would go up and down from like 14-18 psi through a pull, you can't feel it, but can see it in a graph. This is going to fix that and give me, and once it's released, others, consistent boost control. I think the problem is worst for those using flashpro, but all users suffer from it to an extent.Quote:

It's got much more in it, need to add more boost to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear and hopefully these stiffer mounts hep the 1-2 shift as I was easily losing 2 tenths waiting for it to go into 2nd.Quote:
