did some vtec + boost tuning last night. I'm very impressed with my car even on 4psi. I can't beleive how much the note of the engine changed with even just only 4psi of boost....it sounds crazy at 8000rpms and pulls very strong.
I haven't had any overheating problems since replacing the rad and t-stat and i was out driving around and boostin around in this lovely 30 degree weather.
I can't wait to get some money together and get this thing on the dyno. Unfortunately, the stupid central air in the new house i bought isn't working, so i'm gunna need to drop some coin on that **** first. But, thats life right, priorities, and my car isn't really one of them.

I guess using a single rad = nono in this case? :P

the single core rad would make the car heat up a bit after driving around for a while....it was old and ready to be retired.
I haven't had a/c in my car since i did the b16 swap (almost 4 years ago), so i just pulled the rest of the crap out to make room.

I'll let you know when i'm ready brian...thanks agian man.
