My D16 Build -

[jojeezek]

I plan on Runin it without a filter, so my compressor can ingest other cars in traffic.....is that a good idea?

sure why not

lol good idea? No. You run the risk of picking up anything that happens to hop into your engine bay. And I'm not gonna lie, it's not pretty when a rock is sucked into a turbine that is spinning at 50,000 RPMs. Just throw a filter on it. Yeah the chances of that happening are not necessarily high, but why risk it? I'm sure you have put a bunch of money into your project, why skimp out on what, $30?

Ok guys currently my 96 Civic Hatch is N/A. I had a mini me swap done to it with a fuly built (port polish/crower cam valves, springs and retainers and a compatition 3 angle valve job) D15B. Its got a skunk 2 intake manifold along with some other bolt ons. Its tuned runs Hondata on a p28. Maintsream did the swap and Scotty tuned it. It puts out 130 whp. My next step is boost. I wanna keep my a/c. I am not looking to build my bottom end anytime soon and I wanna shoot for about 220 to 230 whp. I wanna start my build asap and I will post pictures and keep you all up to date...
