the civic? nah not yet. still working on it. today im getting a whole lot of stuff for free. an obd1 distributor , ex intake manifold, and a new vtec solenoid. when i bought the car the only thing that was obd1 was the engine. i have a EK. so the intake manifold was obd2 that short shit.. with an obd2 distributor and the vtec broken, p2p and a obd2 harness. got alot of work to do to make it right for turbo. my plan was to get at least 12 psi on this engine but i realize since i got an automatic the shiftin might not be quick enough and i could destonate my motor. so im going to back down to 7 psi.

Im not sure what fast shifting has to do with how much boost you run, but the auto tranny wont hold much power at all. You might want to conisder doing a auto-manual swap.

automatic. when im holding the gas pedal when it's time to shift it might not respond quickly and that turbo is gonna force it QUICK into the redline.
nah i dont wanna do a auto-manual swap. i did it for a honda accord 93 and it was just too much work i dont have any friends or family that was willin to give me a hand. once i get this civic running good by today im going to see if i can get a nice trade with a honda civic 00 shell with some b series stuff so all i would need is the motor.
btw i bought a full head gasket kit which came with almost every gasket that goes to the engine. gonna take some picture maybe the admin would make it a sticky!
