Default Nice to meet you TR

Just posting to say what's up to everyone, and to introduce myself.

My name is Louis, I drive a Honda, and quite frankly I enjoy it.

I don't think I know any of you on here, so maybe I can meet some of you at the track this weekend. And maybe even get a chance to get a couple of runs in with some of you.

Yeh, thanks everyone, I was pretty happy with the results of that setup. But I really should update my sig. Since then I have sold that complete longblock to some kid building a race car, and have started a new project. I now have a completely stock LS with the same turbo kit. The current LS setup makes about 100whp less, except more torque. I definately enjoy driving this new setup, much more than the old one. It actually proves to be alot faster on the street. . . which is definately a good thing.

Welcome to the site. I personally don't like turbo Hondas because it takes a lot of work to build them the right way, but they're very impressive when built correctly. Are you planning some sort of all-out ls-vtec turbo setup for this one or just a daily driver? I know somebody who hit over 300 whp on a stock block ls, and he wasn't even willing to turn up the boost a little, he always erred on the side of safety.

This is my daily driver, as well as that engine in my sig was. Currently, I make about 320whp and 270 lb/ft torque, and that is on low boost. I have no intentions of changing this setup at all, no more vtec for me. Maybe a few things here or there, up the boost, and do some street tuning, once I get datalogging.
