RE: t3
nope its been used and nothin is wrong with it and i wanted to try to keep the kit legal as possible i live in cali and i was lookin to get a used edelbrock mainifold but they run around for 300 bucks. so i was lookin on ebay and found some cheap black ones for 125 but dont want thpse cheapes to crack on me. im sending the money order next tuesday for the turbo because i bought a compression test today and gunna check it.
UPDATE
i check the compression and check it couting the spark plugs 1 throgh 4 witch i dont knows right but it look like this and thats how i labbeled them
HONDA
4 3 2 1
thats what the top of the block looked like
num 1 compression was at 180 2 was 175 3 was 175 and 4 was 180 and my motor has 160,000 miles on it. bad news is my freind dident know when he undid the compression tester the adapter feel off the 1 spark plug hole and at the end when i put the plug back in it broke the tip off so now i need a new spark plug and drovve a couple miles home on 3 cilinders, is that bad? and then this retard goes to close the hood and for some reason thoght it was a shock closing hood ya know and bent it where the stand holds the hood so now my hood sticks up right there and the paints chipped [:@] o well.
so is that compression alright to turbo and can someone tell me the corrrect order of the cylinders thanks.

now for the cylinders you have them in the right order 4 3 2 1, those number are good
did you leave the adapter in the hole??? cuse if you left it in the hole the piston could smack it and mess up your motor. i had to drive on 3 cylinders when my wire broke on me(i had no choice) it ran like dog sh8, but after i replaced my wire havent had any problems.

running on 3 cylinders won't hurt your car a bit. the loud noise you heard was that 180psi of air bursting out of that small freakinspark plug hole. As long as there was no debris that fell into the cylinder you'll be fine.just a littleunburnt gas exiting through the exhaust
