92 teg help?

well i got a couple questions

1. ok i have a small leak from my valve cover whats wrong ive heard i need a new head gasket?

2. im gonna turbo my car what should i do before hand as far as maybe rebuild the engine to prep and get it ready and able to hold descent amounts of boost?

3. how much boost should i go for?

4. what is it that makes a car chasis so stiff like i see on some imports this guy i know's del sol the whole car shakes when he takes off cause he's got so much power is it just cause the drop or would be something like the bushings its very stiif sturdy like cant quite describe but ive seen it on a few imports around?

5. who likes the name bob? oh ok sorry i mean how much would you think it cost to get a shop to do a custom exhaust if i got a muffler?




its a 92 teg gs with automatic

You didnt even ask us if we think you should get a 5 speed. Ill help with the other questions, but Im tired right now.

not sure im gonna get an 5 speed i like my auto im lazy its nice plus after college im probably going to move to seattly and stick would be a bitch plus im not very experienced with stick either only driven moms stang and her firebird (very easy very very easy to spin wet tires in the firebird hehe that was fun) ne body got any advice be appreciated

cmon people need some help you can do it u got the power and most of ya have the knowledge this is probly one of the best places to get advice on the net cmon :banghead: i hope im not asking stupid questions or something but im not a genius and got to learn somewhere

cmon give me some answers so far no one has given me help wtf people cmon please u can do it

man i wish i could help u but im just another newbie too. :dunno:

#4: Tower braces, strut/sway bars on the Del Sol? Those parts can make the suspension tighter which prevents body roll and gives the car better handling and control. At the sime it also makes for a harsher ride of course, which may be the cause of the shaking. Or, it might be from not engaging the clutch into first all the way before hitting the throttle which would cause the whole body to shake. Who knows...?

thanx for the info i was just wondering that could be right but i dont know oh well i was just wondering if lowering any other suspension mods make it really that stiff who knows not that important the improved handling is whats important and less roll to well i thanx fro your help

well i got a couple questions

i saw in some magazine (i forgot which one) but they took the interior out and filled the subframe (terminology could be wrong) with foam in a can. stiffens the chaises lot, is light weight, cheap but alot of work.

from what i have heard ithink that on a stock motor you can get away with 10 lbs of boost on a rebuilt motor but you'll want a missing link or a hondata

does any know some comparitive numbers as like

xxboost=xxhp=xx1/4

for a 2nd gen teg.

all i know is that my friend has a 92' civic hatch w/ a b16a, turbo
its not a teg but he does 8lbs, ??? hp, 14's 1/4

he could do better in the 1/4 but he's blown 5 trannies and so he babies it now

i have an auto so with say i ran 9 lbs what you think i could do and how hard is it to get kit installed

bump heheee

dude i wouldnt run more than like 8-10 lbs of boost on a stock motor......if i were you i would try to help out the fuel system in ur car so you wont be runing lean when you put the turbo in......also i would get new cams, lifters and pistons just to make sure that im not gonna sling a piston or ram a lifter in my engine......you would def benefit from hondata in ur car.....and if u ask me its the best bang for ur buck, you can change ur car to help maximize power from every part that you add from a laptop using the software

yeah so far im thinking im just gonna go with simple bolt ons and wait till i have the full knowledge of what im doing till i turbo and have the money too its a serious and complex step to go FI and i dont want to do it unless im 100% sure but its good to learn now oh and does what do you think about headers im still looking around are OBX or Pacetter good for the money or just go ahead and save and get like dc or what

skunk 2 is about to come out with some headers for our cars....i was lookin at the wholesale price list last night and they'll be out soon.......just wait like me and get that when it comes out
