ok here is my set up so far its 95 civic coupe ex with a gsr motor and tranny i have a skunk2 pro series intake manifold, 68mm skunk2 throttle body, aem fuel rail, aem fuel pressure regulator, 370cc rc injectors, msd distributer, msd external coil, msd 8.5mm spark plug wires.

i have a turbonectics t3/t4 turbo, front mount intercooler and piping not sure on the size of intercooler, an hks 42mm wastegate, and a tial blow off valve.

i dont think i left anything out but if i did let me know. i am lookin for advice on if this is a good set up or what let me know what you all think.

RE: opinions please
 

Do you have a turbo manifold? Anything for fuel management?Since your already OBD1I would suggest, along with everyone else, to get you ecu chipped with crome for your fuel management.

RE: opinions please
 

Oh boy.

Oil lines.
Vacuum lines.
Manifold
Downpipe
Dumptube
Exhaust
Engine Management System (Crome/Hondata/ECtune/Neptune/etc)
Fuel Pump
Bigger injectors (370cc are going to be maxed with ~6psi on that turbo)

Basically you bought all of the unnecessary stuff, and left out all of the necessary.

i knew i would forget something i have an exhaust manifold and my ecu is chrome chipped and i also have a 255lph fuel pump. i have everything to install the turbo like all the vaccum lines oil lines sutff like that my down pipe is 2.5 inchs to a 2.5 exhuast so i guess the only thing that i am lacking is bigger injectors and i didnt buy any of that stuff it was givin to me. well have i dont think i left anything out this time but if i did let me know. i know im gonna need to upgrade my injectors how much would 770cc injectors handle in power im lookin to make around 500hp and i also have 8.5 to 1 pistons. and how far should i build the block to safely handle that much power? any help would be great

RE: opinions please
 

a boost controller but if its wastegated at a proper psi that u want then u dont need it

RE: opinions please
 

Get the engine fully built, sleeved. Honestly I have never seen a 500hp civic so I don't know what all you need but I know 770's aren't big enough. I think you might need nitrous to get that much hp, I'm not sure.

RE: opinions please
 

You will need at least 1000ccs to do 500whp, and I would suggest getting rid of Crome (Hondata/Neptune/Ectune would be better suited) and really really really doing your research before you go for 500whp. That is not something that you just get up and do.

RE: opinions please
 

yeah thanx for advice guys i figured i would atleast 1000cc injectors and i had planned on ditchin the chrome chip for hondata i hear its the best out there right now. and i dont really know what you mean by research for a 500 hp build what do i need to be lookin for the car already has 290hp and im tryin to get the motor with turbo to 500 or more before i go with nos my end goal for the car is around 700 hp. i also plan to get valve train upgraded and go with different cams i was thinkin about skunk2 turbo cams any thoughts on those or can i get better ones somewhere what do you all think

RE: opinions please
 

for a 500-700 hp powerplant, you'll be rebuilding all internals, and everything you could possibly think of. the reason we say research it is because you're asking if just a couple of these parts are ok to reach your goal. and 290 hp is a lot different than 500, you'll have a hard time dd'ing it. and since you want to use NAWZ, you'll need even larger injectors.

RE: opinions please
 

if your final goal is 700 hp you would be better off just getting a dart block and build that up with sleeves block girddle, and everything cuz those blocks are good for i think 1000 hp my friends is building one up for his teggy.
