Freshly Built Turbo D16Z6 Civic

[boosted_cd5]

Me and several other people have been helping my friend Chris out with his Civic, 11 months working on it, (11 months due to slow process of getting money) but we just now got it fully running and mostly tuned for 8-11 PSI, goal is 18-20 PSI.

Here's what it has so far...
T3 Super 60 Turbo
Junkyard Mitsubishi Side Mount Intercooler
Home-Made Charge Piping
OBX Exhaust Manifold
MX-6 Bypass/Blowoff
Spec Stage 2 Clutch
ARP Head Studs
Eagle H-Beam Rods
YCP 8.5:1 Compression Pistons
RC 550cc Injectors
King Bearings
Chipped ECU w/ Uberdata EMS
PLX Wideband

Coming Soon:
Bigger and better Intercooler
Better metal charge piping
TurboXS Boost Controller
Higher flow fuel pump

The car won't get traction worth a s**t either.

Here's two videos of our progress, sorry if they download slow, my server sucks.

Nice, got any engine shots?

^^^ lets see under the hood
maybe its running a bit rich because your injectors are too big,(for low boost, 550cc should be good for your 18-20lbs of boost) but good work on the civic

I agree

 

[Team_Project_D]

nice set up but i also agree injectors might be too big 550cc is more then enough

 

[Destroy]

looks like you need new tires

 

[Gwapz]

looking good, top marks for the work

 

[boosted_cd5]

Yeah, I am working on my server space allocations as we speak, I'll have some under the hood pictures on here. Everything is pretty much ghetto rigged for now but we are looking for some better stuff as soon as we can get the money.

Intercooler is from an MX-6 GT.

OBX manifold is already falling apart and rattling. I'm going to reweld it soon.

It's actually not running rich, my air/fuel is between 11.6 and 12.6 in boost, under boost is where it's rich. These pictures are pretty worthless, but it is under the hood.

Can posts not be edited on this forum?

Who said anything about a TurboXS boost controller? I'm going ACE Racing on that, and by ACE Racing, i mean a piece of metal with two nipples and a bolt through the middle to restrict flow.

[boosted_cd5]

Oops, I thought you were going with a TurboXS. My bad. I got everything else pretty well though.

That's pretty lame, i guess the logic is so moderators can edit new member's posts and they can't change it back.

Thanks for the positive feedback, i'm nowhere near impressed with it though, hopefully 20psi can do it for me.

s**t only plays like 3-4sec. on each vid???

 

[O 16581 72452 5]

They should both be around 15 seconds.

 

[t3t4h22]

they seemed about 15 seconds to me

nice work, but turbos are for pussies

obviously im kidding.

 

[a96710]

[Neoburge]

awsome .. thats just frigin sweet.... this just proves you dont have to drop your wallet on name brand crap to make power... and have fun!

[Neoburge]
