Great list, should be fast once done!
It's interesting to note what the Honda crowd does boost-wise compared to the Miata dudes. We re-use so much crap, like the factory oil feed port, the gauges go in the factory air vents, PNP RX7 injectors, GM boost solenoids, etc.
I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

not going to worry about that on this thing so much.tommybanzai wrote:...egt?
yeah man don't really see the point in a wideband because you've gotta buy another wideband o2 in addition to what you have, the stock one I have was only off by about 0.1:1 ratio when I had the car dynoed at hybridynamics so I'll use kpro for that. I am going to run boost cut and lean cut, so I won't have a whole heck of a lot to worry about. but you can't miss my house, I ripped out the front yardTURBevO8 wrote:Wideband? Wish I would've got one instead of my EGT. Oh well.
Great to see the car coming along so well. I will really have to take a walk down Bedford St. one of these days and check this thing out since it wont be at Carlisle as you said.
yeah, unfortunately, the DC5 is a returnless fuel system, so I'm using the largest high impedance injectors RC makes to avoid running all new fuel lines, etc. The Hondata boost solenoid is better, imo, because if something happens to it, it will bypass itself and open the wastegate for you, meaning you won't run 20psi or something crazy (apparently that's how the GM works). Also, people on clubrsx seem to have issues, perhaps its a setup problem, I'm not sure. You can use the vtec port on a honda, but then there is issues with potentially breaking the adapters off in them from vibrations. The sandwich mount is more solid and the adapter is a lot thicker, so there is less likelyhood of having a problem.kotomile wrote:Great list, should be fast once done!

how much you looking to spend?robry wrote:well I just called precision turbo and they told me they don't have the housing I need in stock, said to look on ebay. I'm pissed, now I dunno what to do with my fucking turbo. Does anyone have a 30R for sale or a decently sized t3/t4 they wanna sell me? let me know...

well I talked to a few folks, and they said go atleast a 52 wheel on the exhaust side. But precision is upgrading their lineup, and the replaceament for the 6152 is the 6162e. Which I can get brand new for 799$. So I'm gonna list my turbo on ebay today, and hopefully get a few hundred for it, and then buy the 6162e
How hard would it be to run a return line? Has anyone else done it in the RSX community? I know the SRT4 guys (the big power ones) run return lines.robry wrote: yeah, unfortunately, the DC5 is a returnless fuel system, so I'm using the largest high impedance injectors RC makes to avoid running all new fuel lines, etc. The Hondata boost solenoid is better, imo, because if something happens to it, it will bypass itself and open the wastegate for you, meaning you won't run 20psi or something crazy (apparently that's how the GM works).

IIRC the GM defaults to WG pressure too, but they are prone to failure, it's a GM product after all haha. I bought two just in case. Also good call on not using the VTEC port for oil, that wouldn't be a good idea at all. The Miata, lucky me, comes with an oil feed port standard, which is just plugged with a bolt from the factory. Technically it has a return port also but its halfway up the block on the wrong side, so I drilled my pan anyway.
its not hard per say, its just cost. You use the factory -6 line for a return, and then run typically a -10 or something for a feed line. We're talking 800$~ for a return like, FPR, fuel rail, etc. Not really economical. I know a guy in maryland that has a sc6152e on his revhard, and made 370whp on 650cc's and stock rsx fuel pump. He was at 85% duty cycle, so I'm thinking 750's plus an intake should actually be perfect for 375-400whp.kotomile wrote:How hard would it be to run a return line?

Esp on that turbo. Another thing about running a journal is you get a little later spool, which on street tires, would be beneficial for traction lol. but yeah, I don't want to use the vtec port or mess with that at all. I'll just get the oil sandwich adapter and do that. I ordered my adapter fittings from summit today, plus 2 rolls of heat wrap and what not.
