    have you ever looked into any of the adhesives they use in autobody. 3m, lord fusor, evercoat and valvoline all make really good products. probly the best would be the evercoat since that one dont take a special gun, just a typical calking gun is all you need.

    Turbo intercooler wire, dude, I am going back to that shop with you, and asking the same mechanic who fucked u over what his deal is. and what they actually did to fix your car. it might have been you o2 sensor(only electrical wire that even goes near the turbo). other than that, Take that boost controller off til we find out if its closed or not. If its really high, you can damage your car badly. give me a call, and we'll get this shit taken care of

The Maintenace Required light is triggered by mileage, I believe, and it does not indicate a malfunction. Yes, this^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hondas use a maint req light to remind the user that it is time to change the oil. Dependant on the vehicle, it usually comes on every 7500 miles, which is hondas oil change service interval. On the integra, newer ones like yours, there is a small square button on the bottom of your dash that you need to hold down to reset it. just get upside down and use a flash light, itll be right in front of your face.

    alot of this is true. valvetrane is one of the key factors in determining redline, but when you start pushing high RPM's, you start running into other factors such as crankshaft harmonics, rod/stroke ratio, camshafts, valve sizes, head ports, intake manifold/runner design and also at some point, cast pistons become very bad. breaking ringlands and piston skirts and what not. Just because you CAN rev higher, does not always mean you should. I mean you theoretically could spin a QR25DE to 8 grand, but power will actually drop off because of the way it was designed. McAdam

    experience helps a lot, listen to others who are wise, and dont be afraid to ask questions, just dont act like you know what you are doing when you dont know jack shit.
