1: everyones saying i dont know cuz im asking the psi? not whp? 2: i said im prob. running a T3/T4 turbo. As later on i intend on touching the internals. Such as pistons, rods, cams and maybe..... mayube a crank. I know different turbos make different power on different psi. Im asking what do u think psi i should run at? More than likely im gunna play it safe and run 7psi, on a T3/4. My question is if anyone has done exactly what im doin give me some insight. as im only 19 and dont have the cash flow to blow a rod and have my car sitting in my driveway for 5 months till i get the coin to buy all the new ****. Ohh and sirux..... i saw ur thread about the greddy turbo kit. Thats the only civic turbo site i know of that has actual decent kits for a D-series. Go with the greddy if u got the cash. If not the edelbrock. And does anyone have any good links where i can get a turbo mani, and downpipe. Cuz i was thinking of making my own turbo kit up from scratch with a Talon turbo???

bitter? I have nothing to be bitter about. Actually i'm quite happy today all things considered.
I'm sorry man, but you're calling the guy who's actually had boosted setups and engines that make 250whp retarded, then you go post something like this.....
Now thats retarded....seriously.
Talk about the WORST example evar!
Speaking practically here, real world practical I mean. PSI has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING. What blows an engine up is the excessive cylinder pressures caused by making high WHP/WTQ numbers. These pressures are experienced during the combustion cycle. Now if the engine isn't even running and you have 200psi inside of there whats going to cause the engine to blow? Really, think about this one for a minute.
When one performs a leak down test, what happens exactly?
I will explain what I mean.
When doing a leakdown test, one sets the cylinder that one wishes to test to TDC (top dead center) then removes the spark plug and fills the engine with i'd say around 200psi of compressed air. Does the engine blow up? Hell no, if it did, people wouldn't do leakdown tests.
Understand now?
This is why i'm saying your post makes the least amount of sense....in a real world practical kinda way.
Sorry, I had to take time out of my day, after a long day at the shop, to school you here. Didn't mean to embarrass you. No hard feelings.
If you want more of an explaination, when I get a minute at the shop tomorrow i'll give you another example.

Im not too sure but i think you can use a manifold to hook up a turbo to it from a old crx hf model or something along that line. I cant remember exactly but i read this a couple of times somewhere back in the days but maybe someone on here knows.

B/f I changed my motor in my si I bought a bolt on greddy kit and ran 6.5 psi with no problems. It had about 100k on it but the compression was good and the block was still solid. T3/T4 may be too big consider running a smaller turbo like suggested above. Small upgrades to the downpipe exhaust etc help a lot too. If your interested my friend has a k20 for sale????

You should check out gude racing if you want to build your d series motor up. They have some of the fastest sohc motors out there.

Leak-down tester - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
it says most of the time u only do it at 100 psi and it can be done as low as 15 psi and if the engine is any good at all your only letting in very little air if u send 200 psi into a engine that isnt locked at top dead center u will blow something , anyways we wernt talking about a leak down test this guy wants to put psi into his engine while its running not in some controled test. so u go right ahead and keep putting 200 psi into engines ur testing, but it wont have anything to do with what we were talking about in here . if u wana look cool in front of ur fan club some more go nuts and keep telling them how apples are red when were clearly talking about oranges .

Ok, dude, do you understand the pressures and forces being applied to the internal parts of an engine while it's running?
200psi of air in a leak down test will not blow anything.

2: get a hoby and stop arguying on forums.
3: if you knew 1/4 of what zeeman knows you would be happy.
4: if you wanna sound like a smart a$$ go to the closest highschool, do a burnout and start talking **** about your car to the kids.

LOL....this is entertaining...
And frustrating at the same time....
No offense, k1e1v1i1n, but if you don't truly know the answer to someone's question, don't post an answer and make it sound like you know what you're talking about. You'll only end up getting schooled by those who do know what they're talking about.

Kevin, you talk $hit like you actually know something, but guess what, you don't know jack about boost and you prob know nothing about cars. you are such a loser!! Stop being an ignorant dumbass and go to elementary schools to look for some fans. And stop wasting our time posting on topics that you know absolutely nothing about.
if you're looking for fun, why don't you PM me your address , I can pay you a visit and then we can have some fun.... watching you do burnouts with your stock RS with a fart can exhaust

see, its people like you (k1e1v1i1n) that push the people that actually know **** away from forums like this. You earn your own reputation and when people stop taking you seriously (which is already happening) it turns into a pure **** show.

Agreed, 17 year old kids with theyre moms accord v6 are exactly what drive true car enthusiasts away from forums like this. Sure if you dont know something ask around, im a mechanic and i still dont know everything. But dont talk **** about stuff you arnt completely sure about, cuz 1. youll either **** someones motor up if they take u seriously, 2. Youll be a laughing joke. Which is already happening.

:threadjacked:
can't someone lock this thread, or clean it up?
This is actually making me reconsider visiting here. I'm no high and mighty, just and adverge Joe, I thought the kind of people you'd want around here.
Zeeman, arguing on an internet Forum is like running in the special Olympics... win your lose... you're still retarded. You of all people shouldn't partake in the flaming. You're well respected, and your points and opinions stand for themselves!
Kevin or whatever the hell, if 50 people are complaining that you phuked you, chances are... you phuked up. Learn from your MISTAKES, don't defend them! If you learn something, or take something from this lesson/thread, then it's not a complete loss... that's part of learning, or you're an idoit. Don't hhide behind the internet, because you can say whatever you want.
Everyone else... FFS don't kick someone where their down, try to help them back up! What type of community outcast someone like this? Even our penal systems have 'corrections'. Disappointing all around. What about the original Poster asking for help?
this is stupid.
Period.
