My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

As of right now it's running on a conservative street tune cause I'm a ------- idiot and forgot to hook up the wastegate before my first tune session :S. Needless to say the boost skyrocketed and we called it a day. Now everything is hooked up and running REALLY smooth. The remainder of my street tune will happen either Monday or Tuesday of this coming week, after that I should be golden. I won't bore you with too many details, pics are way cooler..

Day I got it..

Now.. I know, I know, I've got a lot of cleaning up to do, but that will happen over the next couple weeks. I'll be soldering all my injector wires, replacing ---- clamps with t-bolts, and replacing the Lowes couplers with silicone reducers. I have a laundry list of ---- that I have to get done..

Thanks for looking

looks good man, get-r-done and get it dyno'd

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

If those are the -40 horsepower ebay filter. take it off and replace it with the paper ones.

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

uuhh, what?

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Teh foam filters suck. I would get some fiberglass screening or some type of paper filter (K&N style). Looks good though, solid work O0

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

your buddy's car looks like a riced out ---- bucket.

however, i'm quite fond of yours. good job.

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

i remember some guy over HT dynoed their setup with one of these filter, turns out he net another 40 wheel horse just by taking it off lol

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Holy god?! That's intriguing, because right now when I get on it a little, it doesn't feel like theres that much extra pull. Obvoiusly I've only tried once or twice being as I'm on a conservative tune and didnt want to ---- anything up. But anyway, I just thought the sluggishness was due to the conservative tune. I may have to pull that bitch off and see what happens.

btw, it wasn't an ebay one, but it is foam. The only other one I had was my AEM, but there was no way I could get it to fit in that tiny space, that's why I snatched this guy up. I was looking at another shroom style one, that appears to be some sort of fiberglass style but I'm not sure. Would that be sufficient? Heres a pic..

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

LOL u didn`t get it from ebay but ti is still one of these CDM filters.
use a screen if you cna make it fit. Or use an extention somehow

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

:y

i like the stock wheels and hubcaps on your car better

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

I was asking if the filter in the picture was better or not? I got my filter from Autozone last minute because like I said, it was the only thing that would fit.

random-strike, are you referring to my car? Do you mean you like the stock wheels and hubcaps better than my Enkei wheels?

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

And to be fair to my buddy's car, pics don't do it justice, it looks pretty good in person. Once it's boosted its going to be a beast too, he's got big plans that have already been put in motion.

But this thread isn't about him, it's about me...ME ME ME ME!!! ;D

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

:l pretty good for me to pooop on

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

ALRIGHT, no more commentary on his car, I need answers on mine

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

what happend to your honda emblem did someone jack it? or is the red one in the mail >:D

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

dude you're such a d-bag... If you're referring to the front emblem, it was removed with the stock grille, which was replaced with a stock Si grille, which is much more clean :y

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Your buddy's car looks like it came out of an add for window tinting out of Super Street.


But I like your car and your turbo setup too, solid work. Also, I think your grille looks decent, but I do prefer the stock wheels w/hubcaps myself. You could sell those rims and use that money for better things.

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Well, Although I do like the way you think, I know that I would miss the handling aspects. I'm a "cornering nut" so my suspension/wheel/tire combo has to be sufficient for the twisties.

Not to mention I have bad ass snow tires mounted on to the stock steelies.

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Calm down. Kinda like a new girlfriend, there just breaking you in.

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Oh dude I know, I'm just trying to keep up. I've already had a few "disagreements" with a few people here. So I lurked for a while, asked a question or two, tried to help out if I could, and figured now I was ready for the bashings ;D

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

totally man, that grill is tight yo

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Thanks daaawwwwwwwg ::)

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Jeez guys I'm almost disappointed. I expected a much harder lashing than this...


Anyway, quick update.. Heading down to get the WOT portion of my street tune finished. Hopefully if all goes well I'll be ripping around by this weekend.

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Keep us posted on numbers or atleast PM with your times/numbers when you get them. Not a bad looking set-up at all. And the stock red turbo 6th Gen EX Coupe....

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Anyone else with a y8 ever have fuel issues? I think my stock FPR is restricting me. It pulls until 4psi then just cuts out cause it's too lean. I'm odering an FPR w/Gauge to see if that solves the issue..

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

its not the fpr yo

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Any ideas what it could be?

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Is it because I didn't change the fuel filter?

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Nice setup. I've always liked the coupes better. I've got my self a 98 EX. I'd love to turbo it but college is a pain in the ass so I don't have the time or the extra $$ laying around.

I'm a "cornering nut" too. I love my rim and suspension setup. I have 16x7 with 205 50 r-16 Yokohama ES-100s counldn't be happier. (roads are so shitty here in VT so rims with tires with < than a 45 or 50 side wall are just asking for bent rims.)

My suspension is Progress 1.5 inch drop springs and kyb agx struts. Love the adjustability in the struts.

Keep up the good work, and keep the car clean no body kits or stupid wings, the stock EX spoilers look great in my opinion.
Not to thread jack or anything but here's my car just for shits and giggles:

dude y0 that tizztickatickatickatyyyte grey seevuhk is such a m4d redline whip

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

God damnit lets not get off topic here. We're trying to figure out a fuel issue

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Take off the shitty air filter, i bet you its that, those filters restrist the ---- out of the turbo, get it off and try it without, Open turbo FTW!

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

It can't be the air filter could it?? Considering I'm going lean, I would think that there was plenty of air flow

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

what injectors u using?

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

DSM 450's w/ resistor box

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

If it's going lean I wouldn't think that something that restricts the air flow would make it run lean. either way i would ditch the foam filter and rig something else up like a K&N or some other guaze filter.


What do you have for a fuel pump? Is it because the stock one won't keep up with the fuel demands?
list all your fuel system componets.

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

what are you tuning with? do you have a wideband? i dont see one? and your fuel pump should be okay for the low boost what turbo is that? 14b 16g? most dsm turbo should be 8 psi pretty sure.. i on my eg stock fuel pressure was around 32 and i raised it to 40 and in uberdata it has a box for fuel pressure,but that was just what i saw when i was looking at the laptop when my friend was getting my maps burned.

i asked a lot of questions.. just kinda curious what would make it run lean at 4psi and how you know you are runnign lean..

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Hey give me your friend's address so i can kick him in the ------- teeth for ruining a nice EBP Si >:(

nice install :P

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
