Re: 89CivicDX - Question on header and fuel

Come to think about it, the same thing happened to my dad before his Merc. Lynx died... was funny tho... instead of rebuilding the engine for him, (he can do it himself, just didn't want to.) I grabbed a 1.9HO from a Escort GT and put a small turbo on it.. of course, being an older mechanic, he has no idea about FI or boost.. so watching his face when he floored it and the tires started spinning at the end of first gear, and part way into second was just priceless... unfortunately, he made me re-tune it and turn the boost down...

That was my first experience w/ a turbo, back when I was 14.. I'm 22 now.. and not much more experienced.

But, I'm working on it.
