Nope...not that I could see. Only smoke I saw during the entire day was from the MP3.

Yeah. That cat was on his 4th FS-DE. And that motor he rebuilt 600 miles ago...
I saw that, too.. I don't think I'd rebuild a motor with stock internals.. Or turbo an FS to start with, but whatever. It's all fun and games til you get the zoom zoom boom.
That's pretty bad we're all like "man, was I smoking?!"

Jeff, I think you and I got the goof
One goof I am happy to have! lol Although....I did notice some oil loss Friday.....added two qts of the dino before the meet. Last oil change was two months and just over 3k miles. After the cruise it's now about 3500 miles.
VC gasket area is clean, no puddles and no smoke (other than the white stuff until the car wams up now that the cooler weather has arrived)....going to keep my eyes on it.fishdonotbounce

Car is in the shop. I think when I put my new oil return line on, I routed it with too much restriction and cause the oil to simply go back to the turbo. Mechanic is checking everything out and hopefully I don't have to get a new turbo. Oh the joys of having a modified daily driver

Don't do a turbo build without a job. Period.

+1, especially if it's your DD. Even if you have a job, make sure you have some reserve funds before going turbo just in case... i'd do the coils first though

Haha! Gotta love Team Ohio...
Steve, go KL. I plan on documenting everything and will basically write up a How-To when I'm done in the spring. It's really not too expesnive since we already have FS-DE's and can swap a lot of parts over. Just give it some thought. But if you do go turbo, I agree with Chris. Rebuild, then turbo. Or buy my FS-DE as a spare.

They're more aggressive, but if you're going to put any kind of real money/effort into an NA build, I'd go with something higher comp than just the fsze pistons. They're 'only' like 10.4:1 I believe. That's stock for a lot of Hondas...
