whats fast/fun, four wheels, <5k and not a nissan? kgo

90s Prelude or Integra...

But if you don't mind old, one of the greatest / most fun cars I've ever driven, was a 1989 Prelude. Would buy one brand new if I could. So comfortable/functional, so much visibility over the bonnet (like a Porsche) and they handle ridiculously well (beat out Ferraris and Porsches in a slalom at the time).

Anyone who has driven one will tell you, the four wheel steer is awesome...none of this HICAS shit, it's actually useful. You can turn into a carpark on a 90 degree angle and going around round-a-bouts feels like you're in a boat (good way).

have driven both those hondas before and i agree with birds. haven't driven the mx5 or any kinda bmw so tossing up b/n those two atm.

this is just to tide me over till subaru decide to officially strap a turbo to the brz

Alvin, you still need old computer stuff? I've got 2 old printers, like some multifunction or something along with a hub and router. If not, do you know any recycle computer places in the west side? Forgot it was garage cafe tonight... :-/ So what's the verdict, emo or skyline???????

no printers, only agp/pci cards and cpus.

Whats the diff between 7 and 8 and 8mr turbos again?

What boost do they run at stock?

Drove Aarons last night, sure as fuark doesn't feel like a stock car, dat pull in low gears <3

7 turbo has a smaller rear housing than the 8MR turbo, thats all the difference is, but its cheaper to buy a second hand 8MR turb, than a new housing lol.

i think 16psi? nick will know.

Where's scotts? Might be on my way home as well ;)

hampton park.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
