[kpsycho]

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?

#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...?

[kpsycho]

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

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

[kpsycho]

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

[kpsycho]

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
