im using mobile1 10 w 40.. the tubing i am going to be getting from checkers auto parts.. i might go today if not i know napa carries it.

aen

just to let you guys know, in case you don't already. those fittings for the t-block are the generic 1/8 npt fittings that you find at hte local home depot and lowes and hardware stores, don't go to the autostores...they jack the price up like crazy..

java09

thanks aen! will do!

t_urbo_C_harged

so is everyone that is boosted running 10-40?? Why so? just curious? I know what changing the viscosity will do but just wondering why you are doing it?

java09

typo, haha im running 10 w 30 mobile1 synthetic.

t_urbo_C_harged

even then toyota recommends 5w30, do you just want a little thicker film for cold starts??

I am not boosted yet but currently run royal purple 5w30 and was going to continue using it when I boost, just curious to see why you are using it.

java09

yes and as i am led to believe it doesnt break down as fast and wont clog the lines and build inside the turbine.

t_urbo_C_harged

why would 5w30 break down as fast? not doubting you just asking... they are both 30 when hot so they would carry the same viscosity hot... doesn't it also depend on the quality of oil put in that determines the rate of deterioration?? Okay no more off subjectness.... hows the weather in LV?

The kits look hot like always, I am now kinda wanting the polished mani... hope Todd gets back to me soon about a few things...

I will be running 10w30 also.

My reasoning is just because synthetic seems a lot thinner by itself compared to reg oil and with 5w30 you seem to get a lot more blow by when boosted.

My rex used to waste a whole quart in between oil changes, than i switched to a 10w and i didnt burn anymore oil.

<--- I too hope Todd gets back to me =)

java09

his answer makes sense more than my tired one does.. haha but it does come down to braking down and not getting blow by.

Question for phil, aen, or matt:

ok so i have my 5 quarts of 10 w 30, oil filter, teflon tape and copper rtv sealant. i still need to but one of those "t" fittings for the oil feed/oil press gauge. Also i need those hoses for the waste gate and for my bov. first question what sizes and how many do i need?? thanks

my next question is i bought the copper rtv sealant. Can i use that for sealing the oil feed lines and what not since teflon breaks down or do i need the "red" high temp rtv sealant as well. the copper one should do it for everything correct? thanks!

HondaCRX

Yes, thank you... much much better!
methinks this turbo kit may not be something in my future...

aen

take the fitting to home depot and ask for air lines or something like that. explain it to htem and get a couple feet......it barely costs anything

Enrique9876

why wouldnt you want numbers like that.......... that was on a MUSTANG CHASSIS DYNO.... do you realize how fast that car must be

java09

thanks aen, your an infinite source of knowledge!

aen

no problem man, it's only because i had to go through that though lol

aen

ooops i realized you asked a bunch of other questions too.

T fitting can be found at local home depot lowes store, look in air tools section...not hardware. or plumbing, which is where htye most likely will push you.

as for hte copper rtv sealant, don't use copper, use the red rtv sealant or white permatec sealant

the copper sealant has little flakes of copper in it and if for some reaason that were to break down for any reason at all then you'd have sealant in the oil.

ive been told (dont blame me Phil!) that Mr Meatys tune is sorta ____ty. but its still making 250 whp at 5 psi.
and the reason it cost so much is because he paid to have literally everything done.

I personally have the same kit on 8 psi, no problems taking out any hondas
I spent about 4200 and installed and tuned myself (if you can call stealing maps and adjusting them a tune lol)
no i dont have the crappy greddy map
ya i dont get why you have a negative outlook on the kit. Bretts car must be of the fastest out there

brett561tc

thats cool. any reason as to why?

paul_dezod

So Brett, still need that EMS?

brett561tc

yes i do. should be soon.
