charge pipes gripes
I live in a bullshit city called lexington, Kentucky. All I need to complete NA to stage III are charge pipes. ----! these sheep rapers are like "a terbow ona honda?" Shoot me Shoot me Shoot me. I have been looking for some person with a little bit of confidence and a Mandrel, to make my ---- go fast. I'm a desperate man- for I have turbo fever in a land that doesn't grasp forces induction. The 4X4 and V8 stereotypes are not lies. I need to make charge pipes so I can show these cow tippers how a Honda stomps a
slo-maro.
slo-maro.
. A few JC Whitney bends, a cut-off saw, and a bit of welding later, you have your very own mandrel bent charge pipes in any configuration you want

Re:charge pipes gripes
Thanks, you just saved the life of the next redneck that says " I kant mayke charge pipes; they go behind the catalytic converter." Yes, that has happened more than once in my search of charge pipes. By the way, great engine shot; if that was in a magazine I would have siezed the pages together.Hey, where's your plug wires? I have a crazy idea; tell me if it will work. Would I be able to run 2.5in silicone hose as my charge pipes, or is it back to JC WHITNEY to buy some mandrel bends?

Hey, where's your plug wires?
They're out chillin on the bench... that tranny is fairly broken, so the car is taking a break right now getting some thingss done to it
Would I be able to run 2.5in silicone hose as my charge pipes, or is it back to JC WHITNEY to buy some mandrel bends?
Well, judging by your "na to stage lll" comment, i would say "no... it would not be the best idea". But could it work? Yea, it could work. I would use the silicone hose as connectors, because obviously you won't be able to make those charge pipes all 1 piece.. hehe. The charge pipes don't cost much, and even if you have to pay someone to do the welding, you can still mark off where they need to go (or get a really small welder for cheap, and just tack-weld the pipes together and then take those in to get welded... then the "V8 guys" can't mess up the welds).
Hope that helps some!

Re:charge pipes gripes
your comments about v8s are retarded at best.
you're talking about a slow-maro, which obviously is totally stock. if someone put a turbo on a camaro and ran the same amount of boost you will be running on your car, it would be much faster. more CI = more potential. just the facts :/
my chevelle would run <= 11s with some fatty slicks and 15 pounds of boost. the sky is the limit from there. that is on stock pistons and using stock exhaust manifolds as turbo manifolds. add high performance pistons/rods/crank 20 pounds of boost and a 200 shot of nitrious and you have a car so fast the only thing a honda can do to compare is measure the speed at which that rod just flew through your block and out the hood.

Re:charge pipes gripes
i'm here cause i'm turbocharging my crx, and probably my going to turn my chevelle into a twin turbo big block super-street dragster.
that chevelle with its $120 headers a $199 intake manifold and a $300 dollar carb would anihilliate your turbocharged crx. sorry but its the facts. i like cars, any cars. performance is performance even if it is on a slightly smaller scale.
with the amount of money ComposiMo has into that crx, he could've built a 9 second dragster. but it all depends on what you're into. i'm into both, so whats your problem?
and no those aren't accel plug wires, and only one of those carbs is a double pumper, the other one has vacuum secondaries.

Re:charge pipes gripes
This board should definately not have any bashing in it of other makes besides Honda... lets all remember, that the name of this site is "Home Made Turbo"... not "Home Made Honda Turbos with nothing else allowed!". And by the way, while i may have a few "purchasable" parts on my car, i do consider it relatively "home-made"... charge piping, the hand-made turbo manifold, pieced together and not bought as a kit, etc.
And as for:
"with the amount of money ComposiMo has into that crx, he could've built a 9 second dragster."
I'm working on that "9 second dragster" actually... except mine will be street drivable/legal/driven, and it'll happen to wear a Honda badge She definately ain't finished yet.. hehe.
I don't care about whether the cars here are Honda's or other makes... its all about being an automotive enthusiast. I grew up around V8's... i know their potential, yet i still choose to work with Hondas. It's not that i'm "dumb for modifying a Honda"... it is that i enjoy a challenge, and quite frankly, these modified Honda's are more fun to drive (to me) than a V8 monster... but thats just my opinion

Re:charge pipes gripes
i totally agree with you. i love all cars.
it is that i enjoy a challenge, and quite frankly, these modified Honda's are more fun to drive (to me) than a V8 monster... but thats just my opinion
i agree with this too. i get ---- from some people saying i should just build another muscle car. but everyone already knows my muscle cars are fast, i want to build something different and that doesn't really standout as a fast car. thats why i want to turbo my crx.
one good thing about FI cars is that you can drive them on the street easier. and fast too. since they're don't gain massive amounts of hp and tourqe until the turbos have spooled. unlike a build v8/supercharged/ even turbocharged v8, they have too much power at the bottom and most of the time if you want to go fast you gotta have slicks.
i like to drive NA v8 powerhouses a little more because you can have power at the bottom, and you don't have to spool up a turbo and go 60mph in a 35mph zone to prove that your car is fast.
i can cruise down the highway in 4th at 55mph, then shift hard into 3rd and spin out if i wanted to (on street tires). thats always fun.
both turbocharged 4cy and all v8 NA and FI are fun to drive. i like them both. some people like hybrid are just rice and think their car is the best and fastest car in the history of the world. no matter what you do to a car there is always something faster out there.
nascar uses small block engines. they rev to like 12k-15k or around there i believe. it is a total misconspection that a v8 will not rev as high as a 4cy. the 400sb in my camaro starts floating valves at 8000, but loses poop at 7500.
in conclusion hollywood is leading our kids down a moral sewer. and all cars are fun to build and drive!
little simpsons humor.!

btw i like that manifod. its crazy, really impressive to look at.
