Since i payed so much money to get my cold air intake and now i'm looking to get a turbo set up is it posible to modify it to use with the turbo or should i just sell it off and add that to the bank?? the only problem with it is when i wrecked the car the battery exploded so the intake got acid all over it. it still works and sounds the same but since it's chrome it looks pretty beat up and that wil effect the price that i could get it for so what do you guys/gals think?? < Message edited by flomasta -- 4/26/2006 8:05:52 AM > (in reply to flomasta) Post #: 48

RE: twin turbo help - 4/26/2006 9:59:56 AM    mbo1985 Posts: 778 Joined: 12/11/2005 From: Florida Status: offline I ended up sawing my AEM v2 intake into pieces to relocate the air filter (which would have been right off the turbo) away from the engine. So you could do that. As far as selling it, no one will want to pay a whole lot for a cosmetically damaged one, even if it works fine. True, performance probably isn't effected, but don't expect to get much for it if it looks bad. Maybe you're better off saving it and hack sawing it, heh. (in reply to flomasta) Post #: 49

RE: twin turbo help - 4/27/2006 1:30:40 PM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline I think the manual would be better in general because of the shorter gear ratios vs an auto more power man, more power! ^_^ (in reply to flomasta) Post #: 53

RE: twin turbo help - 4/27/2006 4:01:10 PM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline doesnt really matter in the end, both require research if youre going to do it yourself and both require a lot of money to have someone else to do it ^_- but turbo first, will be easier to install (in reply to flomasta) Post #: 55

RE: twin turbo help - 4/28/2006 3:49:38 AM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline you lose power out of a turbo just from the fact the cars a vtec, any way you look at it, you can either goto a turbo first, get use to that, then put the standard on, have even more power, or just get a slight gain from doing the swap, then add the turbo and have a crazy amount of power that you most likely wont be able to handle, equal stages vs drastic changes are better usually ^_- (in reply to legionofone) Post #: 57

RE: twin turbo help - 4/28/2006 6:40:45 PM    tom15425 Posts: 268 Joined: 1/5/2006 Status: offline Hondata allows you to tune your car's air/fuel ratios, adjust your vtec, rev limiter and speed governor, boost and nitrous control, and basically anything you'd want to control. It's really nice for boost because it can sense up to 11lbs on the basic models they have (more if you get a better MAP sensor), whereas your stock ECU can't read over like 1lb. It also protects you from potentially destroying your engine by exceeding what your fuel system or engine can handle. Well, looking into I found a pretty informative page on their site. They can explain it better than I can: http://hondata.com/featuresboost.html < Message edited by tom15425 -- 4/28/2006 6:42:35 PM > (in reply to flomasta) Post #: 59

RE: twin turbo help - 4/28/2006 7:43:51 PM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline Stock should be able to read about 2 - 3psi, the reason i say this is because if your going 100 miles an hour i think thats around 2 psi depending on how your intake is setup ie ram air style intake but yes, after market ecu's are very important because other then the fact it evens everything out, it helps with the deficiencies of the stock ecu.
