OK here's the deal. I'm looking at getting the JR SC kit for my D16Y8 w/ 128k miles, along with colder sparks and thermo, and a stronger fuel pump. From what I've read, that covers the basics. Is there anything else I should be seriously considering? General consensus seems to be that the slushbox can handle JR's base 6 psi, but I plan on having it checked out by a pro tuner place beforehand to see what they think. Assuming everything checks out, I plan on installing the above parts and give the car a good tune afterwards.

Looking for comments, suggestions, advice, etc.

Also, what kind of WHP do you all think I should expect after this stuff is done? Will adding a header and catback give the SC any extra oomph? etc. etc. etc.

 

well my turbo seems to like hitting a spike of 7PSI in the colder weather. The tranny is fine. If you think about it, your not getting on it EVERY second u drive it. The trans should be fine. However, you are going to need some sort of fuel management. You can get an FMU and a VAFC controller, but for that price id look into hondata or uberdata or something. Wait for sniper to get on here, hes got the S/C in his car......hell tell u what u need.

 

Hit me up on email, homes.

 

you ever dyno with that thing snipe?

 

he did GTECH, and thats it. I havent gotten my turbo dynoed either. Its safe to say that its prolly equivilent to running a 50 Shot of nitrous, all the time. If not more.
