dude get this. i ran my d16y5 civic hx with a little turbo back in high school with an open down pipe. like 4 inches of exhaust just dumping in my engine bay. at first i ran 310cc RC injectors but it wasnt running to nice. and i didnt tune it. i was just running an FMU to manage the fuel. so i went 240cc integra gsr injectors. it ran better and got a little better gas milage. if i remember correctly i was getting like 320-340 to the tank. i got like 400-440 before (before i was a real hypermiler) so i was averaging about maybe 28-34 mpg in my un tuned turbo set up driving the piss out of it. it was quick to. kept up with some v8's. impressed the chicks. but i eventually took it back apart. 40k miles later running stock (with my engine killing dad driving it) the bottom end of my engine kind of totally died. probably because it leaked a quart of oil every 100 miles and it was running lean as hell. but if it wasnt done by an idiot high schooler it probably could have turned out pretty sweet. just needs to be tuned properly.
oh and another thing. my primary o2 sensor. even though it was treated like crap for like 160k miles and is currently 270k old is just now showing signs of failure.
