Thanks! Now I've got to get moving again! Great inspiration, I'll start with the cheap and easy stuff, until the cash flow starts flowing again

Thanks,

That totals $1000.47 so far, and I'm sure I've missed some things...

I have a freaking sickness

That and I'm not anywhere near done. Please don't ask again for a while what this is costing me, ignorance is bliss!

I guess I'm just trying to make up for the last 25 years that Skiddy wasn't mine

Thanks,
Victor

Thank you! Thank you!
I can't wait to see the 0 -60 times either! It will be worth all the hard (fun) work just to tear it up and hear that turbo spool up...

I dream of that day, I will make it happen. Skiddy will zoom! Bwahaha! (Then the sobering thought of the "engine break in" comes to mind. Ugh. But then! Bwahaha!

Thanks,

I've got a chipped (honda p28?) ecu and a guy to tune me. I want a digital boost controller and I'm looking at a turbonetiks t3/t4 externally wastegated with ball bearings (Bisimoto style-not cheap! ). Right now, looks like fuel management will be aem, but nothing is set in stone yet.

Any recommendations? I'm open to suggestions, since that part of the build is really still in it's infancy.
Good combinations of stuff, or similar builds to reference? I've been reading a lot on the subject lately, but I welcome all ideas! Go mini me

Thanks,
Victor

Is it still Wednesday? It is on my clock. Modder time is two hours ahead of me. Maybe not Wednesday for everybody, but here's a photo shopped beauty!



I've got one more hour of wagon Wednesday!

Thanks,

Here's a write up I did a while back on my Son's Civic.
Ebay turbo write up - D-series.org
A good way to go since you already have a P28 ecu is have it socketed and run a Ostrich 2.0 with free Crome. This is what I did on my Son's car and about a hundred of his friends. lol
