Re: purple t2

A stroked one would still only have around the bore/stroke of a city and it also depends on all that pin placement crap that bino was on about, it would pull like a frieght train no doubt  ;D

Re: My new Civic turbo

Well as it has been discussed to much ado previously it is the common idea that with a boost cut defender you can force around 17psi into a little city b4 you start to lean out due to inadequate fueling if the fuel system is  all in good nick and your running decent stuff ie 98RON or the like, gener...

Re: ENGINE CONVERSENIONS

I second that, that crossmember either required a custom bracket or a custom crossmember, believe me if it had even nearly bolted up we would have tried, maybe because ours was a hondamatic gearbox it had a different bottom engine mount or something??? Im not doubting you EN1 you sound very experien...

Re: whos crashed a city?

I just thought Id add the only injuries were, A) To my pride, B) A guy who helped me pull the car out cut his knee on the gravel and C) Hurt my knee when it hit and mangled the key at some stage during my flight ;D I should mention after we rolled the car out of the gorse we proceded to tow/drive it...

Re: leaking coolant help!

I just rammed the hose on there good and did up a good hoseclip really tight and it seems to be sweet, mind you its a lot easier to work on a city motor in a civic than in a city, you have ...

Re: leaking coolant help!

That sounds in the heater connection area def. You could try turning the heater to cold and leaving it like that for a while, if it keeps leaking its either before the heater valve or its not heater related. Ive seen a few of those heater hose connections where they connect to the rest of the water ...

Re: porting / polishing

Charles said this ages ago I hope he doesnt mind me quoting him :) There is no probs porting. Works a treat specially round the short side radius and blending valve seats into port. Do not make the ports any bigger though as you lose too much charge velocity.   You can relieve the area near the valv...

Re: T04 Boostin' Hard!!!

Quicklude, so you tihnk it is the throttle body causing the setup to surge? That is a very undersized throttle body. I just went for a ride in Colzas car and it has a very weird power hole around 0-4psi of boost. It pulls up to 0psi then hesitates like a b1atch until it hits around 4-5psi then pulls...
