Freshly Built Turbo D16Z6 Civic

[O 16581 72452 5]

Sorry, i don't browse these forums.

I would have less in the turbo set-up if i knew the turbo didn't simply need restricted more. I bought the turbo for $10, put it on, it spit oil, i spent $100 to rebuild it, it still spit oil, then my turbo exploded because i didn't balance it when rebuilding it, i spent another $300 for a remanufactured turbo, my biggest expense in the turbo set-up.

In the turbo set-up, i might have $1,000 at most, my engine i have $1,200 in. I'm buying all new charge piping soon, a much better intercooler and MAP soon, so $500-$700 for this.

I basically bought a turbo kit with free engine internals.

Here's a few pictures of the car, nothing special other than the wheels, and i wouldn't have those if my steelies weren't too bent up to hold air in 3.

That was the tires slipping.

It kind of sucks for now, it's basically like running 5psi on stock compression. The car won't start at the moment, i don't know what's wrong, it's pouring way too much fuel in at start up. I'm thinking it's my ECU.

uh....no it wasnt. You tires slipped a little, but hardly. That was mostly clutch. You can especially tell when you go to grab third gear. I'd put money down on your clutch being dead in two weeks.

Reporting an update, it was the clutch, i didn't see how, because Spec rated the clutch at 300ft/lbs, i didn't buy it though, it's what came in the car when i bought it. I ordered a Competition Clutch Stage 5.

New charge pipe and intercooler set-up.

That's a big ass intercooler Set up looks good man.

New clutch is in, recieved it Wednesday, began as soon as it arrived, didn't finish until Friday working all day and into the night, waking up and starting again. I tried cutting corners to try to get it done faster and it made it take alot longer than it should, it was also just me with a floor jack with basic hand tools. It was a b***h manhandling that transmission on!

Here's an updated video.

Pictures of the clutch install i took inbetween cussing, kicking, and bleeding.

Sweet dent i made, cant tell in the picture, but it creased the fender at the top of the flare.
