im not trying to race anything i just wanna have power on my d16 having at list 8psi flat...its too slow when its stock i dont feel any power to it and i hate it when you driving on the freeway cars passing you and stuff lol...ive learn a lot of this site and been watching peoples turbo works and i start to think that i should do this project on my car too!! i love the sound of turbo its so cool!! sorry guys to telling this stuff lol i never have these kind of cool stuff.

thanks to homemadeturbo and peeps for help!!!

shibikku95 : I would rather recommend a T3 rather than a IHI RHB5.

spekter: Did you port the wastegate hole? You can enlarge it quite a bit with a carbid burr and it will reduce your spikes but first, double check that you don't have too much preload on your actuator arm. It has to just barely hold the flapper shut. if it'S installed tighter than that, the flapper won't open as much as it's supposed to and that's the main cause of boost spike. Some people even believe that you can adjust boost by adjusting the lenght of the rod.

Thanks blaast, but I really don't plan on living with this thing forever. The spikes aren't too bad, so I am just going to deal with them. Like you mentioned, the wastegate is not the best on these things, but it can be improved. I am just too lazy.

im gonna try the ihi first cuz its new.

for resistor box question. i have a resistor box came from junk yard and i want my car to be pick & hold. the one on this web, its just shows cutting the wires from injectors and putting the resistors from radioshack, and i dont wanna do that way i wanna do using the original resistor BOX without rewiring the wires from injectors. is there anyway that you could customize to saturated+pick & hold? like if you wanna change back to saturated you just unplug the resistor box and just put the socket back to where it was...something like that....cant explain...but yea...any?

....how do i check the resistor box if its working or not? danm..didnt think about that...

you can mount the resistor box using the stock honda connectors that were hooked up to it, which makes testing and replacing it very easy.

to install the resistor box, you simply cut one wire per injector. The one that is the same colour across all 4 injectors. you don't touch the ones with one different colour per injector.

you solder together the 4 extremities of the freshly cut wires that come out from the harness with the only wire of the resistor box that is of it's own colour. YEah, That's gonna make an ugly 5 wires connection.

then, you simply run the four same coloured wires of the resistor box to the cut extremities of wires coming out from the injectors. Order is not important. You're done.
