Not sure on spool, hoping the torque curve will turn early 5,000 on full boost. But I'll tell you for sure in a week or two. I'm hoping to pick the car up on Tuesday afternoon, but we will have to see how it goes.

THis will be great
Pooorn
yes this car is porn ay royzie ;).. can't wait to see this beast in action!
just wondering i've noticed you're running standard ignintion setup, not looking to run direct coils?
Honda ignition is very good, I shouldn't see problems before my turbo runs out of flow. But if I were to run high 20's boost then I would think about it. But we will see how it goes, if it becomes an issue, I have an msd 6al and blaster coil to put on it that I was originally going to use when I first turboed.
any updates?? :)
Car is going slowly, I will be working away for about 2 weeks, so when I get back I'll have a few days off work to see it get started for the first time, then watch bedding in the rings. Then the oil will get changed and I'll get to drive it for 500 or so, then go from there.
One thing I can't decide on is whether or not to get an oil cooler. I have not read one post on any Honda forum or engine build where they use one... Turbo or not.
What do you guys think? I'm installing an oil temp guage to monitor temps..
I know Jon (ACS Drags) Turbo D (30psi) ran an oil cooler and as did Deano in his dc2 (I believe). For street I think the general consensus is not needed, but for track work is where it could become necessity.
have you got the stock water oil cooler from the b18?
if not idd sugest a small 9 row cooler.
dean had problems with his cooler cause it was making his oil too cold with street driving (he fixed by making a removerable cover)
def a good idea to have one if your planning to do track work
jon need his cause the turbo was an old journal bearing turbo and it heats the oil up alot
Progress looks good mate. +1 For oil cooler, will give you more capacity too which is never a bad thing!, You can get oil cooler kits with thermostats on the block distribution plate which can solve the problem of your oil being "too cool"
Jake, change your "car" you don't roll in wide body anymore!
