Good read: Acura K23A1 Turbo

DANG GUY chill out. Your right I’m wrong ok.

I think he’s legitimately wondering why you praise low compression.

I never said I prasied low compression. But we all know lower compression = more boost in most situations. Hey Darkkstar I didn’t know you DJ chamus now.

I guess there aren’t opinions allowed on the Internet anymore damn.

dude relax I’m just sayin, i don’t think you have to get upset over it, he’s just sayin it’s overrated to rock low low compression.

on the off topic note, yeah, I work with Chae on the live shows and I’m planning on doing a mixtape with him. he’s an awesome dude to work with and an awesome friend too.

That’s cool man I wasn’t getting upset about it.

Yea he’s one of my best friends, He just told me he was working with you yesterday. I was like damn thats cool as hell.

Maybe I just give people that impression that i’m a dick, not trying to be intentionally. Sorry guys.

haha yeah that’s tight. small world. we were downtown handing out fliers and just doing the damn thing.

Gea. I’ll be at the Icon supporting in full effect.

:tup: thanks dude.

yes, you do

you are extremely high strung and need to chill.

now, answer my q.
why do you think low compression and high boost is better than higher compression and lower boost?

and instead of getting all pissy with me, answer me, and maybe learn something from someone that knows more about it than you. opinions arent worth shit to me, facts are.
you dont buy parts. or take tuning advice from someone that says “yeah, i like this”, and cant say “this is why i like this, and let me show you why” do you?

Dude you need to chill, your the one getting all pissy with me. I didn’t even say anything to you to start Ok. Sorry mr. perfect.

You don’t even know me so who are you to make assessments on what kind of person I am. It’s not like I go around calling you a dick.

Don’t be mad. :mad: Be happy. :slight_smile:

Whatever bro, think what you want I don’t really care. I thought I answered your question already. Maybe you didn’t read it, that’s ok I’ll re-verse it for ya. Low compression = more boost buddy. I appreciate any help you give me, I just don’t appreciate the attitude that’s all.

maybe they would have wanted it to run lower octane gas, as a selling point, so you didn’t have to spend that extra 20 cents a gallon since everyone is soo bent out of shape with the gas prices already… 9.5-10:1 depending on amount of boost you would have to run a higher octane? (note the question mark, i’m kind of curious about this)

bah, honda is mad reliable… this engine will be bonkers to throw in a civic… i bet within weeks the mount kit is out to drop it into an EG hatch.

gauranteed half the asians in the whole of the US are already applying for lines of credit to snag the first motors ripped out of MDX’s stolen of lots across the country in the first few weeks…

first dude with a EG-K23 wins…

more boost doesnt always equate to more power, or a broader (is that a word?) power band.
a prime example would be the sky redline with its compression being down in the low 9’s.

as for the attitude. it makes no difference if i know you or not. the posts with my opinions are fact and experience backed, and yours are not.
this car is a production car with compression that is too low for the low (in relative terms) boost pressure i am sure it will be running.

ILCisDEAD, my saab can run 87 all day long. a knock sensor pulling boost and timing, thats not rocket surgery.

it makes me sad that GM appears to have done a better job with their turbo engine than Honda did. oh wells

Yes. One syllable words + er. More than one you would use more ______.
