same price as the sp61 on the website, a grand anyone have any input on the turbo? please, I'd like everyone's input before I drop the money :)

YEAH! haha. A buddy was talking to me about efficency and what not... I told ron @ hpf I wanted bolt on, quick spool, and max of 15 PSI. he recomended what I wrote above. And you're right, I dont' know turbos, but i'm learning :) wouldn't 15 psi be more efficient on a sp58 than a...

I just got off the phone with Ron @ HPF and he suggested a SP63 with a .58 A/R How does that sound to you guys? Is it worth the upgrade even? I'm thinking this is going to be a much more efficient turbo, hoping anyway... will i see any power gains from it or shoudl I just bolt back on...

Why though? Wouldn't it be better to get a 58 trim for what my application is? The car will never see more than ~14 PSI so why get a turbo that wants to be at 20+ psi? If someone can give me a good reason then I'm all for it! But from what I understand (Very little :D) THe 58 would be...

I'm not really super-intelligent about turbo terminology and I'm not getting a wack load of help over at SF. SM has always answered my questions quickly, and politely so I hope the same goes for this question.... I just fried the stock CT26 on the 88T and was considering upgrading to a SP...

what happened to your engine? I'm buying a Jay Dee Ehm engine, so I have NO idea of the condition. What I am doing is tearing everything down, having a machine shop check specs, if everythings okay i'm going to have them polish the crank, hone the cylinders, hot tank everything and make it...

it does look better. Now, stop calling it somthing that it is not, and you'll be another step ahead.

they've got good customer service in my book. ordered a 2 gauge pod from them that fit like ass (suprise? Nope). emailed 'em and complained, a new one was in the mail the same week. didn't even ask for the old one back *shrug*

Well i paid 150-200 for my last kit, that was a pre-assembled kit, that came with everything Okay so I just did numbers and its going to be closer to 600, but whatever *shrug* Arp studs, crank, and rod bolts/studs, MHG, Clevite bearings, and a gasket kit

First, an IP address is an address for your computer, on the internet, so information knows where to go, similar to a house address. a static IP is an address that is manually assigned to a computer and is exactly that, static, it never changes, unless manually done so. a Dynamic IP is one...

the problem is you hae NO idea what the condition of that engine is in. I would rather spend the 5-700 dollars for the rebuild (doing the labor yourself) than have to pull the engine out in a few thousand miles and rebuild it then because somthing fuct up. Oh. Wait. That's exactly what I'm...

That's what I'm tryin to do, find out all the precautions I would need to take. High Octane gas isn't that big of a deal, I'd maybe spend 20-40 more dollars a year

I'm not to terriably worried about gas mileage.... If I wanted good milage I wouldn't have sold my Accord :) That's what I'm torn between.... Fromhat I have gathered running 10-12 PSI would be awesome in terms of power... and I doubt I'd ever run more power than that till I could afford...

you might want to chekc out a wiring diagram for the ecu ground path, for some reason i think that the ECU may have a different ground path, but I could totally be wrong... better safe than sorry though, ya know

No 550's, just a lex? Are those the only relivent mods? Thanks, I'll see if I can get ahold of him hehe, you could have just stated I was never going to build 900rwhp and put a period after it. I doubt i'll ever get over 400 if that... unless I get a job where I can afford that much...

Cool :) Thanks for the help everyone

its stories like this that make me want to go that route I'm going with full 3" all the way back, and eventually a FFI with all the nessesary fuel mods.

Oh geez, that's really low

Definatly would have to be carefull, but would the added compression compensate for the lack of boost?

isnt that kinda the point of a big-ass intercooler? Gte the air as cold as possiable before it hits the chamber... so the cooler the wether outside....
