Not 100% sure if PowerFC allows re calibration of the map sensor. The other down side to PowerFC is the hand controller doesn’t allow you to tune in real time, you have to watch the load points on one screen, remember what points need to be changed and then find the points in another menu and change them. This is all simplified if you have the powerFC laptop cable and software thow which makes tuning a lil easier, although the powerFC only has 1 fuel and 1 ignition map (20x20) which can make tuning vtec cross over points and drive ability a lil more tricky compared to other options. But this is’t a tuning thread so ill shutup now ! ;-)
With regards to a B gear box, my lil b16 gear box has no problem’s holding 450kw+ and its almost stock, with a high quality after market LSD, we also use high quality engine mounts to help the whole situation, but essentially no one on this forum would ever need to worry about there gear box if its in perfect working order, unless you want to run a 9sec ¼ time.
Vtec and boost go hand in hand, vtec is the best thing invented, to cut a long story short… the engine gets to a certain RPM point and allows more air in / out of the engine, the only slight issue is valve overlap, ie both valves being open at the same time (intake / exhaust ) so your pressurized air just gets blow out of the exhaust side of your engine, but tuning with cam gears, correct cams and general tuning with the correct knowledge and tools will solve this, and make the engine work very very efficiently.
As for the turbo effecting things like power steering, brakes and abs and air con.
Some cheaper manifolds or race only manifolds are designed to be not air con compatible, because they simply take up the room occupied by the air con compressor thus you need to remove your air con, but there are many manifolds out there that allow air con still. But if speed is your thing.. you should’t need to worry about air con ! eheh
As for power steering and abs, iv never seen any turbo setup effect these, although it should be noted, if you upgrade your engine power you should look at upgrading your brake system, larger brakes, better pads, if you go fast you must be able to stop !
As far as room goes, the use of installing after market slim line fans, custom radiators, all help in making huge amounts of room under the bonnet if required.
Hope that helps…

I got a teg radiator in my EG, do i need to change to a civic radiator to accomodate for the manifold/turbo or will i alright? In which case, will heat transfer from exhuast housing to radiator and cause overheating issues?
Yes im sure you can find a manifold / turbo combination to fit with your full size teg radiator, typically thow the civic radiator is half the size, but double the core, so it takes up less space, also by putting after market fans on your radiator or reversing them onto the other side can free up lots of space, as for heat issues from the manifold / turbo use common scene, if things are to close, or get to hot, go with another solution.

You can see my tinny radiator on the attached picture, (located behind the right “high beam head light) it’s the standard civic size radiator, but triple core, and full aluminum works very well, temperatures stay 90deg all day every day, exactly where the Honda engine likes it

As far as "the right cams" are concerned, I wouldn't be looking toward something that was intended for an NA engine, eg. toda b or toda c's, would i? I read somewhere that the EK9 cam was good for turbo setups......
Sorry to be pain and ask lots of little questions, but i just wanna get the whole picture of what needs to be done so that i can get the correct setup....the first time..
Thanks
Why wouldn’t B or C’s or any other large cam’s work. ! Of course they work !
Build the BIGGEST and BADEST NA engine … Huge cam’s Lots of compression, lots of displacement, all the goodies to go with it. And add just 1psi of boost ! will the engine be better ? with or without the 1psi of boost !
Answer = Of course the engine will be MUCH better with 1psi.. .so what about 10psi ? Same answer.. of course the engine will be much better ! As long as the internal’s can hold the amount of “boost” and you can tune the engine correctly and supply enough fuel for it.

damnmit.
i was gonna get power fc butnow yeh.... anyone know what ecu to get ? medium budget looks goooood.
hey, do you think parts for other cars will suit? like wrx hybrid intercooler and that. or 200sx turbo. things like that.? or does it have to be proper honda/acura stuff...
Excellent write up ;)
What about traction and driveability of the cars? With the kind of power levels being achieved does the car become a bitch to drive? Or is this just a myth about high power fwd cars?
Of course if you have a lead foot your going to wheelspin all over the place, is there anything that those of you who drive a turbo Honda have done?
With the addition of an LSD are things greatly improved?
B16A gasket is the same as B18C gasket...:rolleyes: (HKS Aust are clueless)Quote:

That IC would be fine.
thanks again adrian.
later on. if i find good setup to use. could you quick double check the compatibility for me?
*bump*

It works...
Do yourself a favour though.
Stay well away from fools who tell you B16A gasket cannot be interchanged with one from a B18C...
Regarding what parts will suit.
Hybrid intercoolers are ok, but they are not top shelf.
Do not use a turbo from a 200SX if you want lots of power.
Use one that someone with a 200SX would use to get more power.
(Please re read the 1st post & understand it)
ehehehe fair 'nough. :p advice do cost money and if you do say yes then prolly 200 other members will be pming you LMAO!!Quote:

nah i just wanted to check about compatiblility whether i could go nick someones upgraded 200sx (or GTR) turbo charger and a wrexy's fully sick IC and dump it all together in the integra to get a 200GTRx if ya get me. LOL
(Just want to know if those parts will be up to the job for the specs of the integra engine.)
ehehehehe anyways thanks again Adrian!! :D
edit: stoopid question, 2.5 exhaust and high cat... any would do right? unless stated as turbo only.?
