too bad i cant do a test pipe...emissions are so strict here blah...itll be hard enough as it is to pass wit the turbo

 

like i was telling eric.. u guys get tested every 2yrs right??

well ---- when it comes time to get tested put the stock cat back on.. once ur onde.. put the test pipe back on.. no big deal..

and yeh. the stock cat is a big restriction 10-15hp worth.. i think ive heard that somewhere..

 

well i still have my stock cat...wit the turbo+stock cat u think i would be able to pass?

 

turbo90accord
r u saying that any honda engine can take 20 psi or just the one with cas iron sleeve?
92lx
are you talking about passing smoge? for sure you will fail smoke. they will fail u for visual inspection.

 

He's saying that F22 sleeves are actually stronger than most other honda engines, and it shouldnt be something you should be worried about right now. Get a good set of pistons and rods. Decently sized turbo and good engine management setup and the thing will make great ------- power.

 

what he said^^^^^

 

thanx abaz, i just want to make sure before i start to build up my f22b1 engine. my pistons and rods are order. cp pistons and i think eagle rods. can't wait to mass out my boost gauge. i'm happy with 9psi right now, imagine 20?

 

lol be-careful.. dont need u slapping the rev limit all the time.. yeh its fun.. but make sure u keep it going.. shifting early always helps :P

 

i notices my car start to like loose power when my vtec and boost max out at 9psi. is my staok ingition to weak ? do i need to upgraded to stronger ignition? i'm also running stock spark plugs.
