Turbo Progress thread

[blazenem]

i have:
dsm manifold(drilled to fit), 14b turbo, 450cc injectors, chipped p06 neptune software, FMIC, ic piping, boost gauge, bov, custom downpipe

i know i need:
guages, clutch ...


what else is missing? i want to street tune myself so i can learn. im not trying to have the most powerful set up in the word. i just wanna have a lil fun and learn some stuff in the process. also what other gauges should i get??

instead of an ostrich you should consider the demon.
Demon Link here from Xenocron

This enables you to datalog and emulate into your computer software via 1 USB cable instead of 2.
With 2 (ostrich and datalogging with HULOG) COM PORT conflicts exist. My recomendation would be the Demon.
But an ostrich and HULOG work just fine if you wanna save about $50.
Freeware CROME is a good place to start if you wanna get into tuning and looking up information on PGMFI.org will own you!
If you wanna do live tuning we recomend you buy CROME Pro to enable this option.

But also remember that if you use the ostrich and you wanna tune other peoples cars then you need to invest in the
Burn1 or Burn2 for chipping.
BURN2 Chip Burner

Another thing that you will def need for your own tuning is a wideband. I believe the most common is Innovative LC-1. I know not to much about it because I am using the LM-2. Which I like, but is kinda pricey. Wish I would bought something different for the price.

Ensure your couplers are silicone and not rubber or that hard crap.
Also ensure you use Tbolts on those couplers instead of standard hose clamps.

Good luck, and remember there is a lot of knowledge on this site!

oh yeah i read about the demon ill research it more at work tomorrow lol thanks for the reply... and the wide band is what i forgot about also ill look that up too

[brian91accord]

Do you have the o2 housing? DP? I would change your clutch and flywheel also. Wideband??

[drummersteve7]

clutch
flywheel
motor mounts
exhaust studs

def things to consider.
The wideband is to check his air/fuel ratios for his own tuning.
It take place of the oem narrowband oxygen sensor to get a better reading across the spectrum.
Does that answer your question?

[blazenem]

ok thanx i have 02 housing and need to get a custom dp made ill add that to the list
is this a good clutch?

[blazenem]

and as for ehaust studs where to get them? oem honda or are there better/stronger aftermarket ones?

[blazenem]

hey drummersteve7 is the demon noob friendly as far as installing in a ecu? and i have a po6 i dont think it is compatible or am i wrong??

[blazenem]

damn what happened to all the helpful dudes on cb7tuner??? i know drumersteve answered a couple questions but usually people chime in even if they dont say anything helpfull...

[blazenem]

update: got my p06 with neptune rtp ready to go ordering a wideband this weekend most likely...still have to finish my oil return line and tubo outlet to charge pipe. not sure how i want to connect that yet...
as far as spark plugs go for this set up what do you guys recommend? also what weight oil are you turboed guys running i know i will go fully synthetic but not sure on the weight yet. suggestions?

[drummersteve7]

dsm turbos do not like synthetic from my experience.
I blew turbo seals out when I did so....

as far as the p06/demon combo it will work, just needs to be properly chipped for it. where did you research otherwise.
because the demon just plugs into your 28 pin chip location and 4 pin datalogging location on the ecu. you still need to chip the ecu the rest of the way. but those are the mains.

I use my demon steadily on a p06 and a p28. so I know if properly conifgured you will be good to go.

i understand the upgraded clutch but why is everyone keep recommending the flywheel as well

i have always been told that a lighter flywheel isn't the best scenario for a turbo unless it is strictly a more race oriented setup. never had any experience with this combo but have heard that when you shift your rpms will drop considerably faster and lose boost between shifts(or maybe it will take longer to build boost again)
is this true

i have never changed exhaust studs for a turbo but i guess it would be beneficial if you couldn't fab up some sort of bracket for the turbo

that clutch is the same one i have and i don't think it is going to hold up on my turbo setup, around 300whp and somewhere in the lower to mid 200 torque(i assume)
it might but i don't think it will

ok i understand about the oil ill probably just run conventional. but not sure if you inderstood my post i have a p06 already chipped running neptune software.

thanx for the info. what clutch set up are you running...


updated first post with current info...

[blazenem]

quick update... the car is up and running, im just playin with the tune. still need a couple of small parts like an oil catch can (i read those were necessary) and to wire my wideband directly to neptune so i can log that as well. also need to rewire everything cuz it looks a mess. i just wanted to make sure everything worked properly...still wanting to know a good clutch set up anone that is boosted recomends??? anyone???
