Is this setup enough ? - Pics Added

Hi,

I'm from Turkey.
My car is a DB1 Integra 1.8 LS - B18A2 (140hp version)

1.8 Non-Vtec
Garrett T3 Hybrid Turbo, CR Forged Pistons
ACL Main & Rod Set, 450cc Injectors
OBD1 ecu, Exedy Clutch, HKS Bov,
custom radiator, custom manifold, custom intercooler,
fuel pressure regulator ( and stock map sensor ),
70mm exhaust system

running on 1 bar (14.5 PSI)

The rest are stock parts.
Do you think it will cause any problems on the long term ?
Not having the "eagle rods" or "ARP studs" ?

How many miles were on the motor prior to all this?

Btw - we all like pix

You should get a better map sensor. Rods might be fine as long as you don't beat on it all the time and as long as they are forged. As for the ARP studs, without them you might just get head lift. Always good to spend the money once and the right way rather then trying to save a few bucks which would only end up costing you more in the long run.

This is just my opinion though.

thanx..
Motor is on about 4000 miles. so it can be considered as new I guess..

I checked the map sensorsfrom ebay, however, generally they say "you should get a 94-01 throttle body".
Does it have to be like this ? or AEM universal map sensor will be fine ?

I'll send the pics in a couple of days, I'll clean it first, tomorrow is also rainy..

well, the easier it breathes, the better it performs. It's not NEEDED though. A lot of people say get 3" piping all around. you'll probably be good with 2.5" though as I'm not expecting your goal is 350hp or anything up there
