Turbo!

No, build B series turbo!

No, B18C1

Ugh...

Is this the first time Pete's swap is public?
there was a video a while back, but I still haven't seen photos!
the image above is so old, I think it's PRE-TURBO

ORIGINAL: Remmy

Well, I run 10 pounds of boost with a 1.7 liter bore. I have a DOHC motor. I also can control the parameters of the engine on the fly. I have vtec (which is like crack for a turbo) kicking in at 4900rpm. The car has LSD in the tranny and the gearing for it is rediculously short (I run 4 rpms @ 70 miles an hour). Because I do not have a factory ecu, I dont have a governor speed limit wise. I can achieve 140mph. Ive been to 130 before in it though. Ill let Tony fill in his side.
Smokem, first off, thank you for the vote as well as the kind words.

To elaborate further on what Remmy has said... He would definitely beat me in a straight line race, provided he drove as well as I know he can. The LSD, extra 2 pounds of boost coming out of a much larger turbo, and extra cam will not hurt him either. My advantage over him is going to be in the twisties and AutoX course. Reason being that my turbo is significantly smaller than his, and I can grab 8psi as early as 2500rpms. Not to mention the spool time, which is somewhere around 300-400 rpms. Needless to say, scooting out of a tight corner is accomplished a little more efficiently without any sort of lag. However, get us on a long road course, and Remmy will probably once again come out on top. Big sweeping turns will allow him to keep higher rpms, and on the straightways, forget about it, he's gone

The main area where Remmy's Si absolutely dominates my turbo D, is the expandability factor. The sky is the limit with his build.

Remmy, I am also governer less, andhad my car up to 134 during the last tuning session....So I guess that means I win, YES! Just kidding.

Thanks to all who voted for me so far, and good luck to the others running. This is one of the most interesting ROTMs I've seen to date, should be fun

Count your days. Wait until I get suspension. But yes, Forty would rape me on the twisties.

Wow! That's a hard pick!!!! All are amazing cars.. but I would love to be where Remmy's or Forty's cars are.. I guess the first thing I should do in that process is sell the 02 dx and buy an 99-00 SI!? Not sure how I chose, I think it came down to my car is red, and so is Forty's... so I choose Forty!

Whats the spool situation looking like on your car these days? Or have you not gotten to try any of that yet? I know before it wasn't doing anything until like 4500+rpms, but that was with a janked up bottom end and little to no compression in one cylinder

Two cylinders actually. But now it will reach full spool at like 3500 rpm.

You guys need an RDX exhaust nozzle... no spool time.


Or, just buy a supercharger.
