help running 16.0 @85 ,Need help
 

I have a 93 civic vei which basically is a four door vx .It lighter than all other 4 doors .It house's the gay d15z1 vtec-e motor.Bone stock i ran a 17.7 @79 .And now i turbod it,i ran a 16.0 on 5psi intercooled 2.5inch exhaust.But i think my clutch is slipping because ive had the car boosted before on a smaller spec ihi and it pulled heaps harder and would have been good for 14's .I cant work out whats wrong??These r my possible reasons.

wastegate seems easy to pull could be leaking boost?
fmic to large not flowing quick
clutch is fcukd same as pressure plate.
engines got tired of boost (80778 miles ,totalmiles)
my car needs more fuel (only running adj fpr)

Just a FPR? OMFG LOL!!!! LAWL!!
seems like your on a poor mans budget.
get an FMU, inline pump, some check valves to bypass the map sensor.. Check the waste gate and get an exedy clutch on ebay thier 125 bucks shipped.
300 bucks total and bump it to 8psi.. u should maybe see low 14's high 13's maybe....

dropped 1.7 with a HMT kit.. thats not bad.. if your clutch feels like its slipping replace it ;)

Re:help running 16.0 @85 ,Need help
 

I have check valve's
i also have a safc
but my o2 is stuffed so im not putting that on yet
yes its pretty much a poor mans build up.

4 replies. all retardedly dumb well just asm's.

dude answer is simple.
5.5 psi isn't dick...

get some 450s if you dont have em already.
boost 8 or 9

and get a clutch.... exedy are cheap and pretty durable..

no u wont see no 13's... but u should dip low 15's maybe high 14's if your lucky.

You just said the same exact thing i said.

go chew a dick faggot

Re:help running 16.0 @85 ,Need help
 

u told the poor kid he could hit 13's in a 4 door sohc that probably will make a net 170whp at 9 psi.

yeah
we said the same thing ::)

Re:help running 16.0 @85 ,Need help
 

its possible...
anything is......

just like you will run 12's
and spank everyone on the street..

*chuckle*

Re:help running 16.0 @85 ,Need help
 

id wager that imma run 12's................

in fact...
im sure of it...


anything is possible. however with just 8psi its not gonna happen... we all know that.

maybe that motor in a hachty with 9 might do it.


blah to answer the original question...
boost 8. get a new clutch. should dip you a half a second or so lower et's...

My old turbo was a ihi rhb5 ford and the new one is the bigger suby 1.I had a smaller smic last time and 8psi.I just noticed im getting a flat spot of some sort if i hold it on 2k then it will start missing bad then if i rev it higher it will stop??Im think o2 Or Plugs.My goal is to get my civic into the 14's without aid of any performance shop.Im not sure of other 4doors but my weight is 2204lb and ive gutted the back so now its a two seater,no aircon,powersteering,no big stearo,Just the bare basic's.

Note exedy clutch's look good but i live in australia and i cant get 1 from ebay.
Do use get dalkin clutchs over there or centerforce??

Re:help running 16.0 @85 ,Need help
 

also my main worry is my trap speed compared to everybody else ,but i think my top end is the result of a fully fucked 02 sensor,so if ne 1 can get me 1 ill be very happy:)
