Aren't you going to be maxing out those injectors? Why not bump up to 830's?

**Gaberossi** · 11-21-2010 05:40 PM

I am letting USP make that decision so I wouldn't be able to give you an answer

**Gaberossi** · 12-13-2010 02:02 PM

**Gaberossi** · 12-13-2010 03:00 PM

I am probably going to wait on the custom tune to save money this year, so a base file will be the tune for now until then.
BTW the exhaust housing is a .64

**lowandslow4now** · 12-13-2010 04:43 PM

I am looking forward to seeing this done.

**Gaberossi** · 12-13-2010 07:00 PM

**Gaberossi** · 12-21-2010 04:14 PM

what what? did u say TT

**lowandslow4now** · 12-21-2010 04:25 PM

I will be getting one.I just don't know when.lol I know it will be a roadster with the baseball interior. I just have to finish up some work on the Honda. I am shooting to get it next summer before my 30th.

**Gaberossi** · 12-21-2010 04:28 PM

that's sick man, hows that honda coming along?

**lowandslow4now** · 12-21-2010 04:33 PM

Slow 4 now I haven't had much time in fixing it. I have to do a ton of maintenance and pick up a fender and door and then it goes to paint and I will surprise my sister with it. I was going to go all out on it but it will take a shitload of money just to get it to were I like.

**Gaberossi** · 12-21-2010 05:34 PM

true...thats going to be a nice gift though

**Gaberossi** · 01-03-2011 09:01 AM

alright...got the motor going in today, also I was told they need to make a hole in my valve cover and put a breather hose on it bc the AEB's do not have a breather hose on their valve cover which is essential for boosted applications. I also need to get some 034 density line trans mounts bc my new oem trans mounts are already broken from my last setup. I was told next week my car should be up and running =)

**Gaberossi** · 01-03-2011 09:35 AM

once i return from the shop ill post pics of what's going on

**damgrmn** · 01-03-2011 10:56 AM

Very nice build, looking forward to see how she runs.

**Gaberossi** · 01-03-2011 03:20 PM

**Dan[FN]6262** · 01-04-2011 06:44 AM

**lowandslow4now** · 01-04-2011 07:13 AM

Looks like it is really starting to come together. Congrats.

**Gaberossi** · 01-04-2011 06:22 PM

Dan...LMAO thats awesome thanks!

john...yea man motor is in finally, their fab'n up the I/C setup then tuning and its done...then oil changes at 100,500, and 1000 miles to make sure everything is seating properly and i will see no boost for 1500 miles which means im driving to a bunch of car meets to break her in especially towers shops bc i haven't been there in forever..

**Sales@RAI** · 01-04-2011 07:06 PM

lame. Get on the boost. I was doing 8000rpms and 17psi from day 1

**.Mad Hatter.** · 01-04-2011 07:08 PM

woah this car is a fronttrak? didnt see that before...

**Gaberossi** · 01-04-2011 08:04 PM

im breaking it in bc i need it reliable as well

X2

I broke mine in on 7.5k rpms and 18psi lol

**Gaberossi** · 01-05-2011 01:45 PM

I was told by someone who is more knowledgeable in the automotive field than I am, he builds these motors everyday. it makes sense of why you should break in a motor properly and check/change the oil a couple times for the first 1000miles..I honestly don't want to risk anything going wrong with this setup

**lowandslow4now** · 01-05-2011 02:19 PM

I have heard of couple of different ways to break in a new motor. One is to go easy on it and the other way is to hit it hard. IMO I think the important thing is to make sure the rings get seated properly Which is done by a engine braking. Either way I think you will be fine especially with USP building your motor.
