yes get a boost controller


DITCH THE ARP STUDS ASAP

 

It has been some time since I've actively searched the ARP Head Studs with the Inline Pro 3mm Gasket, however if my memory serves me correctly you're better off scrapping them. I'd talk to Ya@InlinePro to verify before finalizing that though.

Definitely pick up the boost controller. In my S2000 I ended up going with the GM Boost Solenoid and absolutely hated it. Not sure if it was tuner error, however boost readings were continuously an issue. Inline Pro does offer a single stage manual boost controller that has shown excellent reliability!

Other than that, pick up an AEM 3.5 Bar Map Sensor.

 

Just from researching...

 

I've been running ARP studs and inline gasket without a hitch.

 

Yes use new stock studs.
And my gm map sensor never gave me any problems so it might have been your tuner

The one thing your forgetting is setting an appt with Jeff Evans =)
Good luck bro let me know what numbers you get
My car is at Evans waiting to get tuned anyday now

I've talked to Ya and he will tell you that there is nothing wrong with the OEM bolts. I had ARP studs in my car and I think the tech over torqued them and now I am paying for it with a blown HG. I am going back to the OEM bolts. The only reason to use the studs would be if you plan on removing your head often.

 

I guess im gonna use stock bolts instead, is it cool to use the ones currently in the motor or u think i should get new honda ones? i think im gonna get the aem map sensor too, any sugestions on boost controllers? i have an apexi avc-r still in the box from a while ago that was gonna go in my previous car but im not sure i wanna run it, i was thinking about a manual one instead

reborn- i was planning on going to evans, i heard hes the best, now to trailer my car there which isnt exactly close, im in long island

thanks guys for the help

Hey Matt yes get new studs its not worth using your used ones no matter how many miles are on it
Ask Minitoyota he rented a Uhaul i think he paid like 120 or something
Thats with the truck and the trailer
Unless you have a truck of your own

Have you replaced your stock fuel pmp with something beefier? A Walbro 255lph pump wouldn't be a bad idea.
