To boost or not to boost
 

So i finally got the verdict in my tired Zc with compression test.
Cylinder1= 30
Cylinder2= 90
cylinder3= 50
cylinder 4= i dont even want to know.

We pretty know this engine was tired the day we swapped the motor in it had the jdm oil filter on it. Then we boosted it for a cupple of months and then timing mishap was the end of her. i have a sohc from a 2-5 couple its a d15b its has less than 40 on it. that will be my temporary engine in my car until i find something else again. Turbo and seals are fine. Now the question is would it be a good idea to boost on this engine will it be worth my while. I also have spare sohc so i can always build one if i want so who knows. Your opinions are greatly appreciated on this poll thanks.


Ihi rh5 turbo from a probe
Fmu= sucks i would rather run a ecu and injectors but i am a poor mofo at the time but soon i will run a ecu and bigger injectors
piping from a da integra and check valves
hf manifold 8 lbs

Is this a good idea???

do what you feel like doing but if I was you I'd rather not, I just don't like fmus :P

take the rev limiter and fuel cutoff off. put a brick on the pedal and tape it..

see what happens.

sell your spare block, buy a chipped ECu and rebuild the ZC

Re: To boost or not to boost
 

Thing is you'l always want boost so might as well go ahead and do it.
Im doing a zc soon ..si crx.

Pretty good arguements i will let this go on for a little more until i make up my mind as for now my dd will need a swap another reason why we are doing the swap. boost is very nice i think i would miss it alot if i just drove it stock. speaking of selling a block i am selling someone a spare hf engine complete and running for 100 bucks so there is money in the bank for me.

Re: To boost or not to boost
 

are you actually asking that on this site? we turbo everything here, and then we twin turbo it. if its not turbo, it should be, or its going to be. or it doesnt belong here, hail the almight turbocharger
