Calum122 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 makes no sense what u said if the turbo peak power is between 3 and 5 she will shoke even before vtec kicks in so forget vtec because the air cant escape !!!!!!! what u want is a turbo kicking in just before vtak an big enough to go past redline ( with intention to raise in the future ) Marc said vtec kicks in at 4800 so 3-5 is about right colin. My mate had a Honda Civic D16Z Turbo Yeah it's only a 1.6 SOHC engine, but boosted! This thing was SO MUCH MORE FUN than his current civic type R. I know Marc said the Integra is a different kettle of fish, I went in a DC2 the other day, and I was disappointed with the power delivery. They have always been an all time favourite of mine. I was just lack lustered from it's straight line peformance. Boosted, thost things would be savage. But I get the flip side to that which is why I'd do it to this fugly Civic coupe, but not a teggy. Anyway, back to my point, even though the VTec wouldn't kick into till 6, the turbo was making full power before then anyway, so what was the point in ragging it to the red line when you would get the fix you need at lower rpms. This thing shifted. And was an absolute hoot! I'm not sure I would do this to a Teggy though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sudden Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 If you tune it yourself, then why not go ITB and try tuning with alpha-n? It's a bit more challenging to tune, but its the only way to tune ITBs properly. You seem to want something new. My starlet is daily driven 5e(high compression) on yamaha r6 itbs, i have torque everywhere so dd'ing it is easy. Itbs also allow you to run stupid agressive cams without idle cam lope(each cylinder isnt fighting the others for idle air) the only issues ive had are that im running an old ms1 ecu, and that the r6 injectors are maxed out.

TimD Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 You need to stop air passing between the top of the splitter and bottom of your bumper for it to do anything.. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXxkNF2L__8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 You need to stop air passing between the top of the splitter and bottom of your bumper for it to do anything.. Fully understand, I have ordered some gasket to fill the hole there is still a fair bit to do before its right. Stupid bumpers all over the place at the bottom check itGotta fill that whole gap yet But she looks great so far, canards next as well as that gap and then onto the rear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Looks epic marc is it easily removable? Would be good if you can who it off at track then put it on after a couple of laps to see if you can feel a difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 If I went out to the car now I could have it removed in 1minute as it has bys brackets, I'm yet to be convinced if it works so abingdon next month will be the test Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Wicked just whip it off before you go on then do a couple of laps then smash it back on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
