    Matts threads are such cock teases lol
  • How much power are you shooting for?

    I would love to have my RT4WD putting down 200/200 with a small turbo on low boost, but it runs so good the way it is. I'm afraid to get back into the turbo honda world. I just need to find a good tuner.
  • those rims remind me of my teggies old rims.......T.T I MISS MY TEGGY!!!........looks out the window at my wagon*...I LOVE MY WAGON!!!....im better now :PPP

    im shootin for mid 11's on street tires with AC and all the power option goodies i want to add as well. after that i would need a cage and i want to keep the car a strict daily driver that is easy enough for my old lady to drive if she needs. i want to run a GT30r they are pricey but i think it will be worth it. im kinda at a stand still my womans new car kinda took all my stash and i have a couple buddies nickle and diming my ass on some shit i either sold or let them borrow so its frustrating but my fault i was ballin and didnt care... theres still tons of shit i can do like my rear disc swap, bigger front breaks, install my poly bushings, remove PS, install the ST sway bars, and put the LSD in my rear diff.
  • Wow, that seems like a tall order to me. What are you going to run for engine management? OBD1 conversion I assume?

    SInce you are a Cummins guy you ought to look into using a Holset turbo. You can get them for way cheap. An HE341 (from the 03-04 CR CTD) are considered to be worthless by the diesel crowd. You could get one for $100 fairly easily.

    yeah ive considerd just spending big bucks and gettin a nice big ball bearing turbo for my dodge and trading my stock hx35 to my buddy for his hy35 (small gay turbo on 00-02 automatic dodge cummins trucks) and running it externally waste gated but who knows..... or maybe even just run my hx35 but get a smaller exhaust housing to help it spool better.

    im gunna run ectune with a chipped p28. already got the jumper and ECU.
  • So your turbo will be worth more than your car then? :mrgreen:

    Now you got me doing research into a turbo setup for my car.
  • turbo_tegturbo_teg Council Member
    haha yeah if i buy the gt30r it will be more..... thats kinda funny.
  • I was scoping them out... $1000-1250 was what I saw. HE341.... $100. You can get those HY-9's for next to nothing too.
  • turbo_tegturbo_teg Council Member
    yeah im not to sure exactly what im gunna do just yet. i have a ton of suspension goodies on there way im hoping to have it back on the ground rolling again without 1 single rubber bushing left in her and the rear disc swap finished. then ill work on getting the motor in there and running NA at first.
  • hey bro are you about to do brads clutch ? i finally got stock headlights !!! and took out anohter 20 yrds of wiring this past weekend...also fixed my foglight button on my dash to work with my foglights... 487.jpg
  • turbo_tegturbo_teg Council Member
    Yeah i need to get my wagon to roll first which is gunna be a few weeks but ya hes gunna limp her over here and were gunna do it at my place. bring the forklift...... ive been seein DA's with aftermarket headlights and ive wanted to ask them all if they had there stock ones just for you. glad to see u got them. u gunna come over with him?


    oh ya today i did the 90-91 corner light swap, installed the hids, yellow high bulbs, started making a lip out of the bumper filler i had layin around, and wired in a 3 wire plug for my bumper lights so that they have running lights in them as well as a blinker still. have a TON of parts coming to get her back on the ground. If im up to it tomarrow i want to finish my lip and get the motor out.

    yeah if he does come over ill roll over with him... but i think he was saying somthing about going to some guy out in gig harbor and doing it !

    in all honesty i dont think his car will make it over the pass lol thats how bad his clutch is

    what yer seein is about as far as she is. im still waiting on my brake and suspension parts im kinda holding off pulling the motor becasue space is limited in my garage and i dont want 2 different things being ripped apart at 1 time.
  • turbo_tegturbo_teg Council Member
    front camber kit and rear LCA's showed up. all the suspension and brake parts should show up this week and then i plan on tackling it saturday. only part im owrrid about is how much of a PITA the trailing arm bishings are gunna be to get out...... everything after that is simple except the rear disc swap which im gunna finish at my buddies house. still need to bend the edges in on the lip i cant find a heat gun to save my life in town.....

    i like the running lights alot...
    ive planned on doing mine for a while just no time....

    did you convert to a dual filament bulb and tap the clear running lights for the parking light ...?

    it is a tailight bulb plug so yes its a dual filament the blinker is the same then i just tapped into the front running light in the corners that dont blink. to make the plug fit your turn signal housings u have to widdle one of the little tabs off its super easy to do. im playin hookie from work tomarrow to work on the wago im hoping my calipers and rotors show up tomarrow cuz then i can get the non PS cross member in, front LCA bushings in, poly rack bushings, front camber kit, front brake upgade, 15/16's master, and 40/40 prop valve all in. my energy suspension trailing arm bushing showed up to i just realy hope they arent a bitch.
  • I see the wagon has a relocater for the plates......AWSOME!
  • turbo_tegturbo_teg Council Member
    finally finished the disc swap today and put in the trailing arm bushings not as bad as i thought but not fun either. using the EP3 rotors helped fee up just enough room that i didnt have to hack up the trailing arm that bad and i didnt have to grind off any of the E-brake cable parts like my last 4wd rear disc swap. they do look a lil funky with pad only covering about 80% of the surface but the pad has 100% contact everything moves freely so well see what happens. most all the suspension and brake parts have show up except the dam stainless lines!!! had to do an update tonight im gunna try to get the trailing arms back in with all the new toys for the ass end. i know its not a lot but work is killin me!
