    Default civic is boosted

    if anyone remembers my small build well.... shes boosted..

    runs great and pulls pretty hard...

    some of the problems i have are.....

    two step seems too low, oil line was in front of the wastegate and melted, turbo does not spool fast enough, and blow off valve does not do justice..

    my build is a b18b with forged gsr internals 9.5:1 compression, obd1 conversion running chrome (base map right now) 660cc injectors, skunk2 intake mani, t3 t4, 2.5 inch exhaust (with factory cat), and lsd ls slush box....

    im betting my base map is holding the power back, also i have no idea how much psi im running (im guessing 8) cuz i dont have a boost guage, the car has not been dyno tuned yet, and i still have to upgrade my fuel pump.



    i will fix the oil line and also swap the fuel pump tomorrow. an aem tru boost guage/ebc is in the mail.


    Now i just need scotty for the tune i guess..... will post pics as soon as i get em shot

    stay out of boost until it can be tuned...no need to risk popping b/c of basemap. launch control will be set during the tune. fuel pump before you tune too.

    Alot of the problems you are having will be solved with a tune. She will be a different animal. Of course the tune won't fix the oil line problem....

    Replacing the factory cat with the test pipe will help it boost faster. Too much back pressure.
