    Insurance Co. Rant.

    Hmm... I guess our government run insurance isn't as bad as I've always thought. I pay $75 / month for full coverage, and tickets have no effect on our rates. Insurance costs here are based on how many accidents you have had - not how many your class has on average, but you in particular -...

    Adjusting actuator for less boost

    Disconnecting the knock sensor will throw an engine code and make the car run like shit. ;) Jonnymkiii, is your wastegate controller an external unit? If so, you could replace the spring with a lighter one. Other than that, you are stuck with the boost you've mentioned.

    does anyone know where I can get a diagram for the vacuum lines...

    Yes. You need to buy a vented gas cap, then pull the canister and cap the lines at both ends.

    Weighted shift knob

    Just take the SOGI mod one step further - cut off the threads and the top of the bottom part, then get a local welder to weld 'em together.

    HOLY CRAP! Got NAWZ?

    WTF? Is it my imagination, or are those bottles about 12 grams each?

    Whatcha think???

    NA pistons in the Turbo engine will increase the compression, giving you faster spool and more power, at the cost of a lower max output and less safety margin. The crank is identical.

    Drill a hole with a drill. Then cut it open with a jigsaw.

    Agreed. I always do this. Same with the mains on your crank.

    Anyone ever supercharger a MKIII?

    Yes, it's been done. However, it's a fair bit of custom work that costs a whole bunch of coin, producing no better horsepower than we get from a big turbo and a 2-step.

    Replace HG now?

    Well, at least always get it checked and be prepared to skim it. I have pulled off heads that were perfectly flat from the factory. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

    Widebody Civic madness on ebay...

    Sure, you can get lots slower. You can add another 1500 lbs of sheet steel to the outside of your 1.5l SOHC Honda!

    Will Boost Leak Cause It To Miss

    Unlikely. Missing is usually ignition related - plugs, wires, igniter, coils, in that order.

    Need a Second Opinion on Tune

    This tuner is full of shit... or himself, or both. The stock injectors should be good to over 400 rwhp. Not to sure about the stock pump though! With those mods, I'd suggest: - Larger injectors - Walbro pump - New fuel filter - Adjustable fuel pressure regulator And some good...

    BHG and valve seals

    madseacow, if he's aiming for 400-500 rwhp, he'll be pushing the safety margin of a composite gasket.

    BHG and valve seals

    Any MHG will do fine - the cometic is more forgiving on how well you need to surface everything, but has had quality control problems with putting rivets on the sealing surface, so if you buy one, double check the rivets to make certain they won't be in the way - a crushed rivet will prevent you...
