damn i wish Arizona wasn't so gay!!!!
the best thing we can do here is to get a P.O. box in some hicktown that has a motor vehicle office with the emmision testing facility.

- Sat Jan 30, 2010 5:29 am #172059 I found that right after I asked ha. Love the hatch always wanted to build one, I got a steal on the coupe though. What kinda numbers you put down I didnt see that anywhere. Saw pictures in front of that CIVIC sign, is that down in akron? Ever go to spaghetti warehouse on sunday? I read about the boost cut problem I am having pretty much same issue, but its like once I hit 20psi it cuts out, gotta switch coils and maybe new cap and rotor, just got new plugs and wires so I hope that fixes it. As for the collector plates, once you get everything mailed, a good month and a half or so, so dont wait till the last minute before plates expire. They look everything over really close. And that sucks about arizona, at least you have the warm sunny weather and not the snow! Let me find some pics of 240...

Nice 240! there's definately a 240 bug here in AZ.
people get heavily into "drifting".

Not too much drifting that I know of but I have been seein more and more 240's around. My brother sold his a while ago still roaming around this area though.

- Wed Feb 03, 2010 6:47 pm #172961 damn dude, i love how you packed that huge FMIC in there but 22 psi and only 280whp? i have 11psi out of the same turbo and get 234whp so that seems a bit odd to me.

but nice coupe man :thumb:

- Wed Feb 03, 2010 7:05 pm #172969 Damn man, the color flows well and that FMIC is Huge! lol. Props on keeping her clean and keeping the back steats. Im not a fan of gutted cars...

- Thu Feb 04, 2010 6:11 am #173157 Yeah I wanted full interior and I love the big front mount :D But I put down 240whp on 12 psi. So thats about right. Were you on a mustang dyno because thats what I get my car tuned on. And I know 280 seems low everyone says that, I think one big problem was my wastegate. Pretty sure it was leaking when I got it tuned and could only make 22lbs, was taking forever to spool. Will be going back in a couple months to see if it can do better...

- Sun Sep 12, 2010 6:05 am #213220 Man its been a while since i have been on here. Few updates for ya and hopefully pics soon. I got rid of all my ebay shit finally and slowly getting shit done. Problems still never ending

RC autoworks mini ram manifold and turbonetics 38mm wastegate, still ebay turbo at this point.

Ran 25 psi and 274whp 234tq, was fun for a few months, then no boost over 13psi no boost leaks or anything, came to conclusion it was turbo.

Garrett 60trim came in, 309whp 240tq on 26psi. Thought numbers seemed low still. But fuck it right, thing moved out, did bunch of pulls on the dyno all day, took it home, did two pulls, no boost over 12psi. WTF!?

New tial 50mm bov going on and 2.5 or 3 inch ic piping instead of my 2 inch i have now. Hoping will gain some on that, but everything else seems in tact that should be for it to make 26psi. Compression is good oil pressure is good little to no blow by, tune is good, map sensor is working 4bar, no leaks anywhere. Pulled valve cover off valve lash real loose, pulled cam, exhaust lobes are like falling apart, its all chipped away. Assuming thats what is causing the boost issue, got rid of the shitty crower stage 2 cam. My Bisimoto level 3.6 just came in yesterday.

I will keep you updated on what happens with the new cam and maybe get some good numbers. :hehe:
