You have something to say, this is your place.

All boost lovers get together

Turbo > SC > NA lol

BlueSi4 · 02-07-2009, 01:34 PM

You still selling the Si when you get back?

lovecheese · 02-07-2009, 01:37 PM

If someone offers me 23K... I really doubt it'll happen! 4 days and I can drive it.

Nice, don't sell it man. There's nothing like boost, especially with this car. And as soon as tuning is available...

boost>non-boost

si2008 · 02-07-2009, 08:59 PM

I wanna be boosted..

projectprelude · 02-07-2009, 09:54 PM

i guess ill start it have a gt25 and want to upgrade to the gt28rs and remain at the same boost level(10lbs) what do you think my gains would be would it really be worth the money...i say gt28 b/c it still has the gt25 ex felange whice does my manifold

MTLcivicSI · 02-07-2009, 11:05 PM

I wish I had some sort of boost! no one wants to help a little newb

BlueSi4 · 02-07-2009, 11:35 PM

I don't know much about the G28rs that you mentioned, plus the gains also depend on what supporting mods you have

Radicalblackcivic · 02-07-2009, 11:41 PM

hey guys what up, so heres my question... (i know from some reseach done before that pulleys arent good with turbo cuz theres some lost of engine stress)

has anybody dynoed their kit with the pulleys and then without the pulleys? or maybe ran at the track or felt any kinda of difference?

rite now my setup is greddy kit tune at 9.5 psi 370cc 70mm midpipe, TBS and the NST pulleys... im at 280whp n 235wtp...

like i said ive done my research and and everybody says its no good, but still ive seen a few people with them on and the pulleys... not lookin for engenerin feedback, but from actual usage

any feedback??

First of all, get bigger injectors and re-tune the car, you should get some more power...the 370cc injectors must be running at 100% duty cycle right now if you're at 9.5psi, I would suggest 440cc injectors or even 550cc, but 440cc should be good enough.

Also, I don't know much about pulleys, but turbocivic has UR pulleys on his car, been boosted for a while and he hasn't come across any problems with the pulleys, but I don't know about the NST ones.

I don't have any pulleys so I can't tell you for sure.

Radicalblackcivic · 02-08-2009, 12:29 AM

ya i know man, i have my walbro, 550cc, 3inch downpipe on the mail... id like to break the 300... u know, those are some spartan number hehehe aaaauuhh hahaha

Nice. I'm not 100% sure on the pulleys though. I don't think that getting in touch with NST will lead you to find an answer, they will say it works without any problems lol

Radicalblackcivic · 02-08-2009, 12:38 AM

hahaha exactly, i already asked them and they said they were good to go with the turbo, but i mite drive it for a while after i throw all that stuff in and tune it... then ill take them off and see what happens... but ya once i reach the 300 im gonna stop messin with the turbo setup and work on my clutch then i should be good maybe rims breaks and some stabalicin bars

Update:

So i got retuned. made much more midrange power than before w/ the new injectors.

the problem was NOT the MAF location. It was that my spark plugs (which I bout from procivic) had been improperly gapped.

Iridium plugs don't get gapped, and I was between .42 on one plug and .49 on another. they were all off signifiganctly and screwed up my system bad.

There is also new insight on the MAF Location/Relocation.

Sharif from Forged Performance said the location of the MAF is CORRECT!!! It does not read compressed air for a good reason. The compressed air does NOT allow for very much deviation in tuning, meaning it has to be perfect.

If Compressed air temps are between 18-25 degrees constantly, and the uncompressed (unrelocated MAF) air temps are probably at 40-60 degrees, allowing for a better range of tuning capabilities.

I'm not sure I said it right, but I think I did.

^^**** i got my Iridiums from procivic i should prolly check those
