Im new to the honda-acura.net scene. I just bought a '93 civic hatchback cx with a gsr, greddy 18G turbo kit and BOV. I got a Apex VAFC, greddy exhaust, intake, Acura LS Interior, Acura LS Wheels, GSR Suspension, GSR Tranny, Spoon Rear Spoiler, Tachometer, air/fuel ratio, and a Wide Mouth Front Bumper.
i do have a carbon fiber hood on it now, black with dual air vents. Its a really sweet ride. Putting Kumho Supra 712 tires on it Tuesday. Hopefully ill stick better than these michellens.
bought it from this dealership already done, this place takes old cars, and does engine swaps and turbo's all the time, so im believing its been done properly.
ok, so anyway.. im not a mechanic at all, its running at only 6 psi right now. I would like it to go up to about 8 or so (good idea?) I'm figuring I can do that rather safely. Now, I have to buy a boost controller right (dumb question), or is there a way to do it with the kit on there (is that the blue box...what is the blue box?) sorry, my first turbo car and i dont know to much.
The car already flies now, but i'd like to get a little extra kick to it. I'm definitly going to get it dyno'd soon, but just laid out a lot of money for this and im getting married in August, so the other half wont be too happy about putting more $$ into it already.. i had to fight to get the Supra tires
So is there a cheap way to do this safely, and any suggestions on this APEXi, i went ahead and leaned out the fuel a little bit by about 5% during VTEC mode, which i set to 5300 rpm, because I heard they run rich, and i figured i wont kill anything with only 5%, and i keep an eye on the air/fuel ratio - during vtech im near rich and stoich.
any feedback would be appreciated, thanks
PS what do you think i'd run in 1/4 mile and whp are?
