just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

its not makin boost right now...i'm runnin open turbo for now...thursday i'm going to the muffler shop to get my bov thing welded on and the downpipe custom made...i'll post pics after thats done...now i'm working on my cousins 95 dx...we have the td04 for it dsm bov, down pipe and some piping...now i just need to IC...we're using styock corolla intake piping...it has a little port on it that the dsm bov fits right in...

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

are you saying your running the turbo on the car but not hooked up to the charge pipes, cuase i hope u know the turbo will overwind and seize up by doing that

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

naw all the piping is on...but i don't have a downpipe...the ic piping is on...i just don't have a bov right now...well i have a turbo xs one but its no put on yet...

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

oh ok, yea im running open downpipe, just 6 inchs on downpipw cuase i didnt want to have no downpipe after the install.

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

well i hooked everything up and i turned my boost controller up over and over till it was at like 30...and nothing...the shop told me i can't boost untill i get a downpipe put on the turbo...i dunno...first kit i've done

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

what kind of turbo/wastegate/etc are you using.

the charge pipes are solid right, no leaks, good clamps...no hole already there for the bov or anything?

downpipe or not you should be able to see positive pressure if the piping from turbo to throttle body is air tight.

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

more then likley ur wastegate flapper is wide open, that happened to me and i closed it up and instant boost baby

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

werd...fook i have the hold for the bov i just don't have the bov on it yet...so i can boost without the downpipe if i close the hole for the bov?

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

yes, a hole in your charge piping is a huge leak. you'll never see boost with that hole open.

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

ight cool...now i need to find a way to close it for 2 days...can i push the amount of boost i want with no downpipe?

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

that wont matter, just might make a messy engine bay.

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

lol ight cool...i just put ngk-r wires and denso iridium plugs and i cleaned my injectors...they were nasty...so i need new injectors, a fuel rail and FPR...

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

make sure you gap your plugs down to .028-.030" it will prevent ignition breakup and such.

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

cool...my mom just gave me an extra 2,500.00 dollars to finish up my car :)...so i'm lookin at an ls motor and puttin the kit on the LS...and my older brother has a 93 hatch...we're buyin a h23 for $500.00 and we're going to turbo it HMT style...

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

i wish i had a mommy like that ::)

man id like to punch you in the face right now.

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

Most my mom ever gave me was a hundred bones for graduating, and a swift kick in the ass. Thats about it.

I second the motion to punch you in the face.

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

At least you got something, I don't think my mom even knows I graduated. :P

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

hahaha...well i guess my mom helps me out with my hobbys and what i like to do...so i'ma buy me a welder so i can do the stuff my self...i mean i went to school for it so why pay someone else to do it if i know how to...plus i just got me an engine stand yesterday...so the other coupe is gettin done this weekend...plus i just put together another hmt kit for an eclipse...it'll be done after the hatch...

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

good thing u got irdium plugs that u cant gap down....u cant gap irduims or platiums

go get some coppers with a colder range and gap them down

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

where's the pics?

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

i'll have pics soon...where can i get those plugs at?

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

YOur replies are scaring me. Bov thingie..., cranking the boost controller up to 30? Your boosting other peoples cars? Oh jesus. Is it me or does he sound really clueless and just tossing out words and bolting ---- onto cars not knowing how it works. Post carnage pics soon.

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

lol i know how things work and what goes together...the boostin over 30psi is just to blow up a motor...just to have fun...

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

You know how things work yet you didn't understand that a huge hole in your charge pipe might be why you didn't see any boost?

I suggest you use that $2.5 and call Mr. Kevorkian.

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

i asked that question becuz someone told me it was becuz i don't have a downpipe...so i wanted to know which one it was...either that or the hole...

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

mother ------ word

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

still using stock injectors?? wtf??? you don't know ----. get some type of management.


























oh yeah, and punch yourself in the face.

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

lol...i'm only still using stock injectors cuz i havn't got new ones yet...i'm tryin to decide what size to get and where to get them from...plus i'm pickin up al ls half cut this weekend...so there is no point in me wasting the money on the parts for this motor...

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

no reason to waste that motor, why even boost if u dont kno half of what u needa do =x research first man. dont waste an LS motor as well... gimme the ------ sohc... my friend is lookin for a motor to play with, ill give u 50 bux. u already got 2500 from ur mommy...

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

it has 180,000 miles on it so i'm takin it out and rebuildin it...then puttin it in a crx...i just don't like that big t3/t4 on it...so i'm going to put a t25 on it instead...my lil bro doesn't have a car so i'm buildin that one for him

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

u need to build ur self one first, dont learn from ur own mistakes, learn from ours.... that's why were tryin to tell u different. ur jus boltin ---- on and callin ur self turbo'd =x that's deadly. dont make oldmistakes new again. learn from us and make a perfect kit cuz all of us already fucked up a grip of times.

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

werd...but thats the thing man...i dunno what the perfect kit is...i have a t3/t4 kit...and a d15b7 with 180k miles...so what would be the right move here besides new motor...i mean the motor runs strong right now on 7psi...but i'm scared to push it cuz the miles...

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

Dude, are you using a piece of ductape over the bov hole or something? Your turbo is gonna surge so hard. Also, why in the world would not having a downpipe not allow you to make boost?

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

i got it welded...but like i said this is my first kit i've done that didn't come complete...

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

if youve seen a complete kit then u should have an idea on wha it "should" look like. strong at 7psi with no management, its gonna feel strong for like 1 more day lol. its gonna be hard to tell u some info u wanna hear cuz ur far from perfect. shoulda waited a while longer before putting everything on. now if u go b series u need a new mani, ic piping, dp.

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

yeh i've already got the kit for the d-series...one of my friends who has a turbo b16 in an integra sold me the mani-dp-and ic pipes...what would be the best manage to go? it sucks tho lol...my turbos laggin like hell...but i'm not going to get a downpipe or anything made for this motor...my brother can pay for all that...i'm just going to wait for this ls motor to be put in...its already block guarded, port nd polished and it had the crank polished...i got it for 300 lol

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

Block guards suck dick... say bye bye to ur sleeves

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

he said its better then block postin...if block postin is better...---- i can do that myself...i did it in my friends civic zc motor...


what would be the best management to go?

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

the best? or best for your budget? if u dont mind learning or rollin on a basemap but get it on the dyno to see if its pretty safe, jus get uber-obd1 or turboedit-obd0... get something haha. if u got money to waste then get aem standalone. jus ask mommy ::)
