got some led put into my center console and installed my new db lc1 gauge and pillar pod, nothing is hooked up right now as i have to wait to boost my car since i now owe 1200$ in taxes

installed my clear timing cover and valve cover with catch can

Looks good man!

That thing will be awesome once it's boosted.

boost should be fun. that size turbo will be a fun daily drive.
better than a homemade intercooler piping, this kit is a direct install, just have to cut one piping and it'll fit perfect, and it looks way better than the ones made for the civic too (civic piping uses the intake hole on the chassis)

that is the exact same kind of piping I had on my old car except I had the type s flange.

yes it will, hoping for 200-220whp reliably. on my old hx i was making 166whp 149tq and it was only so low because i had like 5.5psi after intercooler pressure drop and i didnt have a boost controller to turn it up

i will have to look at your car again and check out the piping, all these parts i already have except for the manifold, downpipe and oil feed. my ramhorn was non ac compatible so i sold that and my downpipe was passenger exit so i will have to get a new ac compatible downpipe also, the oil feed and sandwich adapter i had i left on the car when insurance came and took it.

my piping looks like crap but it works so i will probably use it for a while because im short on cash right now, while its off i might grind off my old harbor freight flux core bird poo welds and take it to work and weld it right with the arc machine to make sure there are no boost leaks.

this was on my old hx notice no ac and 96 front end

I'm selling my Civic now but I will definitely stick around on this forum to see your progress, I'm not only subscribing, i'm bookmarking this. I'm hyped up to see what you got in store for it mc! Black, 4dr, EX, clean. I'd be so happy to start off with that. Best of luck man!

why you selling out haha? ya i never really cared for sunroofs but since i bought this car i love it, the sunroof is awesome and its so nice having cruise control again. this is also the first car that i have ever owned with ac installed that actually works so i had to keep it.

im hoping to have it boosted in a few months but we will see, i have 400$ from selling a few of my old parts so that should get me a manifold, dumptube and hopefully oil feed line which leaves me with only needing a downpipe.

Lol selling out? Whaaaaa or selling yours? I got my dream car so my Civic needs to get out of the way.
Is there any actual problems with it? It looks incredibly clean like it rolled off the lot recently.

 

[mc360]

haha jk im a huge honda person so i dont see myself dd any other car besides a honda, nope no problems with it yet. the cel did come on for cat converter but i put a spacer on the o2 and the cel hasnt come back, also has some abs codes but for some reason the light doesnt stay on so i dont care about the codes. the guy had it detailed right before he sold it to me and said his wife would only take it to honda for repairs.

 

[mc360]

Got my manifold and oil feed / return from goautoworks, he made me a special kit because I wanted an all black feed firewall kit and return. All I need now is downpipe and a tune, thinking I will use my y5 tune as my basemap for my y8.

Looking good

 

[mc360]

Looking good

Thanks, I thought I loved my coupe but this sedan is so much nicer. Cant wait till its boosted

 

[2slo4u]

Nice Nice. Hopefully that wastegate isn't too high because my cousin had a cast iron manifold on his car with a Tial and it hit the hood a bit.

I sure hope its not, im hoping that the goautoworks manifold was designed around crap like that.

Do you have a 4 or 5 bolt discharge?

 

[mc360]

It is a garrett 5 bolt t3 60trim .42 .48ar

 

[xxBLOOD88SHOTxx]

how big is the compressor

 

[mc360]

What do you mean? The exhaust is a .42ar I think, this is the turbo http://www.treadstoneperformance.com/product.phtml?p=924&cat_key=290&prodname=Garrett+T-Series+60+Trim+Turbo++

 

[xxBLOOD88SHOTxx]

Trim and AR aren't measurements of the size of the turbo, they are characteristics of that specific turbo.

There are two measurements of the compressor, the inducer and the exducer. The measurement of the width of the inducer (from tip of one blade to the exact opposite side) is the number when you here someone say I have a XXmm turbo.

So you can have two turbos with a trim of 60 but one could have a 70mm inducer and the other a 50mm inducer.

The a/r is something about the radius of the discharge divided by the inlet area centerline or some dumb rocket science mumbo jumo that I really don't care about. The exhaust a/r is all that really matters when it comes to street cars.

Make sense?

 

[mc360]

Ya that makes sense but I never really cared about that stuff I just know my turbo spools pretty quick and its ac compatible. Anyways what were you asking for, were you trying to see if its ac compatible or something?
