factory warranty! civic 00' d16y8 sohc vtec

Re:How long should you wait to turbo for new car?
 

The WRX turbo is a TD04L and is difficult to configure to a Honda.

Re:How long should you wait to turbo for new car?
 

man are you high?? i'm just saying those STOCK FACTORY turboed cars come brand new with 300hp TURBOED and they break in fine, that's why i'm asking is it ok to turbo it soon after the inital break in.. you start talking about td04l and configuring it.. i already have a RHB5!

How long to wait? Umm, about as far of a drive as it takes to get it to your garage :P

Id jump right into it, why wait.....

Re:How long should you wait to turbo for new car?
 

To answer your question, I think the factory does a break in on the high performance stuff prior to shipment. Can you imadgine letting people test drive zero miles turbo cars with no break in period? The warranty department would loose its mind! I would personally wait for a few thousand miles and a couple of oil changes to do any hard driving on a "new" motor. That doesn't mean you can't turbo it, just take it easy for a while untill every thing seats in.
You do know that Honda probably won't warranty anything after you add boost, right? Subaru will zero out your warranty for installing aftermarket exhaust systems they sell in there own parts departments. Auto manufacturers are getting hard core about high performance these days, they dont want you changing anything.

funny my honda dealer sells all kinda of performance parts and still gives warranty.. wtf would an exhaust do

Re:How long should you wait to turbo for new car?
 

what????everyone sell me those difficult to configure turbos real cheap since they are so worthless. have you tried to use one on a honda yet? i'm loving mine at 8psi and about to tune to 10psi. still have ac too.

turbo it now...why wait unless the engine is newly rebuilt-first oil change like a brand new car.

Re:How long should you wait to turbo for new car?
 

yeah new engine, needs to break in etc, first oil change..

reason i ask is becuase i will need to tune on the dyno which means full WOT 7000rpm runs... when is the car safe to do this? maybe 5000miles?

Re:How long should you wait to turbo for new car?
 

Hell yeah turbo it... My car was basically brand new, and I started buying turbo peices. It will probably void my warrantee, but I don't give a ----!!! I want boost Damnit!!! >:(

Re:How long should you wait to turbo for new car?
 

5000 miles will be more than enough.

Re:How long should you wait to turbo for new car?
 

ya, do your first oil change early though. There will be alot more crap in it then a 50,000mile car. Has to seat the rings and get the cyl walls matched up.. I say do oil change after 500miles, then do another one at 1000, then turbo it.

Re:How long should you wait to turbo for new car?
 

wait till the warranty expires... my $.02

Re:How long should you wait to turbo for new car?
 

so after 5k miles, you saying more car is ok to redline like hell?

Re:How long should you wait to turbo for new car?
 

even at 1000miles you are ok
but around 500 miles you should bring ur r's up to like 5000 or so then after about 750-1000 bring em to red line

Re:How long should you wait to turbo for new car?
 

I second........

Re:How long should you wait to turbo for new car?
 

---- that, if it fucks up again, put your stock ---- on again and get another new engine, again and again and again

Re:How long should you wait to turbo for new car?
 

A couple PSI would do really well to get your rings seated faster. Start a little rich. No worries, that's what "warranty" means...
