The official Honda Thread

In this picture it's my understanding the one on the right with the white head sends the temperature to the OEM computer (critical sensor) - and the one on the left with the brown head grounds out and turns on the fan at 210ish - but they sell an aftermarket sensor that will kick on the fan as 195 vs the OEM 210ish...but I'm not sure who sells it, just read it somewhere.

You're mostly correct.

This must be an earlier engine. The single wire sensor would be for the dash gauge. Is this connected with the harness you got from Nick? Or, what was left from the bone yard?.

The "brown head" sensor you mentioned is not in this pic, it's on the actual tstat cover. It is the one that turns the fans on, and is also the one noted a couple posts back.

Feel free to give me a call sometime tomorrow if you need to.

The picture I posted above was from @nzulmer's post...was trying to help him from info you told me before :). I'm still months away from getting my engine runnung.
 
If I want to get rid of the stock fuel pressure regulator, and NOT buy aftermarket fuel rails - converting this fuel line to a 6AN seems to be the best option. What have others done? I could just cut this line and have a push on to female or male 6AN? Or?

Yes, you can cut it off and use a AN fitting that has a crimp connector with ferrul inside.

But, why?

Think you're going to do it better than Honda?

Looks - the stock regulator is ugly...I plan to get it running with the OEM setup, then switch it out eventually. Plus, it's location it not ideal being it's a mid-engine. By moving the regulator, I can simplify and clean up the fuel lines.

I had a -8an fitting welded on the line that goes into the fuel rail. Used an aeromotive fuel pressure regulator instead of the oem one.
 
Needs some help picking a turbo. First time turbo-ing the car. It’s an 04 buggy works. With j32a2 in it. I’m going to leave the block stock, run e85 with p2r fuel rails, 1000cc Bosch injectors, and aemV2. I was going to run a precision PT5558, but it needs rebuild and precision wants $1350 for it. I was thinking just start new with something else. I was looking at precision PT6176-MFS.

The goal for engine is no more than 450whp. And hopefully under 1k for the turbo. Engine will be ran mostly with a 400hp tune, but want to be able to dial up to 450 when needed/wanted.

Any suggestions???? Thank fellow Honda crew!!!

Also want to be able to smoke so NA LS at the drags…

Reach out to ATP turbo in Hayward and they can make recommendations. I just bought a GT3582 but it was a ball bearing unit and was right about 2k. I think they do a journal bearing one for about 1200.

Stock block 450whp is gonna be a stretch. Definitely pick a hub dyno.
