lol do you seriously have a PT cruiser? on a integra forum?Oh herro
Yep.lol do you seriously have a PT cruiser? on a integra forum?
Haha yeah, i do want to drop a N/A k20a2 in a crx, ef, or eg for a track dedicated car. N/A K20's are teh best sounding honda aside form a nsx IMOthis thread make me LOL :lol:
I've had 2 boosted tegs, which makes 3 boosted hondas i've owned in total.
Boost>N/A
Going boosted isn't hard at all, it just requires a know-how of how to tune your car or knowing someone that can properly tune it for you.Through all the bickering, this thread was very helpful to me; I thank you three. Now all I can think of is boost - FML - I wish I had another car for track and DD
I'm looking for another car that I can use just for power and keep my current Teg just for DD, circuit, and Solo II. I guess I was mistaken on the reasons for building the head, so this thread really steered me in the correct direction. i thought springs, retainers, etc. were part of what you had to do for prepping the engine for the stress of the additional compression and HP.Going boosted isn't hard at all, it just requires a know-how of how to tune your car or knowing someone that can properly tune it for you.
I should go do a quick datalog and post a video of the tools I have to work with when I tune my PT.

A little off-topic regarding the PT Cruiser; you basically built an SRT-4, right? I remember something about the PT being an over-priced Neon frame and engine, or something like that. Not that I'm bashing on your car, I just wanted to see your thoughts on that briefly
That's pretty cool, dude!Each engine is different.
Some require building the bottom end, some don't.
As for my PT, don't even worry about it. I'm on a few other forums where most of us are RUTHLESS to each other (it's caused several local fights) so if you bashed on my PT I'd take it with a grain of salt 8)
Yes, it's basically an SRT-4. It's the same block/head/everything minus a few things (comparing stock forms);
Completely different tranny, so gear ratios are different.
PT is 400lbs heavier, and the aerodynamics are different (obvious one).
PT has a different intake manifold, longer runners which equates to a little more grunt (more low end and overall torque).
SRT-4 doesn't have a muffler, but instead resonators.
Because of the different intake manifold, the throttle body is positioned much lower resulting in slightly different intercooler piping and different intercooler.
Engine/turbo upgrades though for an SRT-4 are also a direct drop-in for me as well.
Alot of people don't like SRT-4's and I don't blame them, they're quick (so are Mazdaspeed 3's) so you can only imagine the smile I get when I surprise people with my PT. I've outrun several SRT-4's in my PT already, and I've still got a list of things left to do.
Yeah don't worry about it.That's pretty cool, dude!
And as for the part I put in bold, if that's true, you may be a cool guy to have on here. We like to poke fun at each other a bit more than most would be comfortable with :thumbs up
Ok i dont want to argue, just asking questions.. lol Havent boosted yet but I plan on it hopefully when i get back from basic and AIT.Im glad you understand now. Any motor built or not is eventually going to wear. But there isnt any sort of magical PSI or number in which components will fail. There isnt any sort of "balance" you need to turbo your car, and pressure from the turbo sure as s*** isnt going to kill your car. Its the resulting power.
