hey guys so i put new rims for my mrs car just the front so far, its 16x7 +40 (205/45/16), i think her original were 15x6.5 or 6 +38 (195/50/15)...
Problem is that shes getting these knocking sounds in one of the new front wheels not sure if its hitting the arms or suspension, it happens when shes just cruising, could it be that its not sitting on right?
has anyone ever tried to make a da9 type R? maybe of what they think honda would have done if they did do a type R of this chassis. i reckon it would look sweet. championship white, type r drivetrain but with da9 body...
Just got refurb cvs put in the right and theres a clicking from that side when at full lock faulty cv? or loose nuts and bolts?
I've Been looking into turbo b18a1, alot of people say that u can slap a small bolt on kit on our motor with stock internals and the motor will be fine, is this correct? If it is true does anyone have an example of this type of setup? Never had a turbo so thought a small kit on stock internal motor while I build a second b18a would be a good way to learn .
Cheers
yeah stevos right. any turbo will be fine on stock internals as long as you only run really low boost. however to run a bit more you dont need to replace too much inside. as long as you drop your compression a bit you could run 10 - 15ish without too serious a rebuild. there are lots of ways to do this from getting thicker head gasket to low compression pistons. but being new to hondas myself im not too sure whats readily available for the b18a.
im sure some of these guys would have an idea tho...
The A can take 10PSI readily on stock internals as with the other B series 1.6 and 1.8 motors.
There are many examples of this everywhere, including quite a few on this board.
I run 8PSI normally with a switch to 10 if I want to. 8 is enough for a bit of go.
Don't skimp out on the cooling and tune, this is what blows motors.
