SleeperCivicEX runs a 14.0 on stock internals with 440cc RCs, Greddy Type 31 FMIC and a VAFC at 11.5 psi on his '99.
He's been running at least 8psi for 2 years now and hasn't had a problem at all. That's what I suggest.
As for my next mod, I'll prolly get my EG9 spoiler put on and be done for a while. It's been a long time since I wasn't working toward something and I'd like to start spending my money elsewhere.

Shout out to Sh*tbox for this mod. He made it happen with all his great info :thumbup: Thanks dude!

The reason I am asking is that I don't want anything to go wrong or F*ck up when I purchase the turbo. I dont want to Find out that I dont have all of the stuff that I need and have a chance of something messing up.

I got most of my radiator swap info from here: http://www.hybridgarage.com/tech/jsrad/jsrad.html
Cooling isn't a problem at all. The FAL fan is an awesome upgrade from stock and it's so thin that my turbo intake doesn't even get close to it. I'm very happy with the mod. I had the muffler shop weld my lower rad. supports on while I was there just to be 100% sure they won't get loose and fall off. That would suck. I still need to make the passenger's side upper mount, but I need to get another grommet from Honda first. I made that driver's side one out of sheet metal aluminum.
h:
Like I said, it was an awesome mod. Thank God for the Dremel tool as well.
I don't want to be ROTW until I get my spoiler on and get some new mirrors. (that's assuming a lot isn't it :thinking:h: )

Check this out:
I know it's a kill story, but I just have to add it to my post... :chuckles:
I was driving over to SleeperCivicEX's house and this Z28 (new) decided to try to play with me. He revved up on me and punched it. He was about a car length ahead of me and I scrambled to get to my boost controller to switch to high boost (10 psi).
I hit it and dropped it to 4th. I quickly hit 10 psi and flew past him, not even looking at him, just trying to hold onto the steering wheel and keep it on the road. He was about 2 car lengths behind me when I relized I was going 120 mph on a city street.
I slowed the FOCK down and he roared past me all pissed off. :lmfao: Poor guy, got roasted by a little 4 door civic. MWWHWHAHAHAHA!!!
I can't wait to see what it actually runs at the track on Friday. :naughty:

i thought sleeper ran it at like 8 pounds....14.0 flat is kinda high for 11.5 unless he just spun through 1st and 2nd. 11.5 should net you around 210-220 whp which should be low 13's in our cars. I ran 14.1 on 8 psi untuned with a ghetto fmu setup.

I know for sure he's running 11.5 though. :dunno:

i guess i'd just have to ask what his trap speed is. With 11.5 psi (220 whp) it should be at least 103
