Luke so nice to see you on here again

sounds like this is going to go off

any plans for outside of the engine bay....or is this going to be a sleeper

btw if you need a hand with something let me know

*subscribed*

[fat_85_civic]

The plan is for it to be a sleeper.
Outside in stock, as is inside.
Shoud give lots of people a suprise once its all done

[fat_85_civic]

So far ive got my intercooler and just ordered some DSM injectors from here.
hopefuly ill be getting a turbo this weekend.

[jay_blu1983]

what about a map sensor like the 2.5bar ones do you need a new map sensor. if so what one? are they all the same?

[fat_85_civic]

Just bought a turbo, shoud be here in like a week!
Am im using a full aftermarket management which will have the MAP sensor built in.

[604_Crx]

what system are you going to run? Megasquirt?

[fat_85_civic]

Im still undecided as to what im doing for the management. Im going to start looking into them all soon and see which seems like the best value for maney and easiest to tune.
Iv been looking at the EMS stinger and Haltech E6X as their fairly cheap and good, but i havent decided yet.

Total So Far: $850

multiply that by at least 2 that should give you an idea of the final cost

Just cant wait for him to be finished....

*gets ticket for first ride in the beast *

[fat_85_civic]

im thinking about 4X, but once it's done it will all be worth it. haha

[zakats]

just 150kw then? I don't mean to a negative nancy... but the cost benefit for this project seems meager the B swap would be in a similar price range as well as power while the major benefits would be simplicity, greater potential, and reliability... then again, an engine swap is a major project as you should know....

so you payed how much for that turbo?! it'd better be brand spankin' new for $500+ (do you auzzies use the $ sign for the AUD?)

btw 14point7.com should have some sort of engine management sys on the market soon... they have high quality stuff at crack head prices

[JDT]

^ B swaps cost a lot more $ over here in Aus than they would for you.

150kw atw should make this car fly, subscribed. Any current pics of your car?

[fat_85_civic]

Yeah, over here stuff costs alot more to do. And the turbos got about 500Km on it so pretty much new. To buy it new would be about $1300, so its pretty cheap really.

Ill try to get some photos up of it soon.

[zakats]

wow that much? I'd think that the supply of JDM stuff there would be pretty solid
