it throws only when you use the 2step but the no lift shift is fine

hey homer, maybe i missed one of the posts but your at 292 hp and how much for lbtq? That is an incredible build you guys did. when i saw the assembly pics and knowing most of it was custom i figured 245-260 hp max . . . and you killed it at 292!!!!!!! thats amazing, nice work and congratulations to you and ur builder blu. Im contemplating wether or not to go turbo. I am a daily driver and need to be as reliable as possible. Everything holding up well? Sounds stupid to say out loud but how good do you think the long term reliability will be?

Dude I gotta say right now things couldn't be better! I made 300.5 wtq : )

The car runs freakin sweet I cud tell its a solid build and a solid tune. Power is right there wen I need it. I'm pretty **** about letting it warm up and cool down even tho my turbo timers not workin yet. I'm guessing long term reliability will be pretty good if I leave it like this and take good care of it. Mines a daily driver too. On this tank of gas right now I'm gettin 26 mpg still. And I have flat footed it a couple times on this tank still

Thanks for the props. To be honest I was thinkin in the range of 240 too and was just as shocked as u prolly were wen I saw the end result at just 8 lbs of boost

The numbers are bad for the hondas because the hondas don't make any power to begin with

Actually the Castiron manifold makes the turbo sit lower and will cause the DP be pretty close to the Coolant line. When the turbo sits higher it makes it easier to curve the DP away from the coolant line. Coming off the turbo the DP will have to have a pretty tight bend.
