[civic hatch]

ok ive been reading up on turbo and how they work form the last 6 months now and i have gotten some great info, so now to the question.

i building my own kit and i real syked about this, my list is
things i have
garrett t25 (new)
HF mani with adaptor plate
down pipe that i welded my self (no leaks)
oil lines
turbo XS blow off valve.
greddy E-manage

things i need
intercooler and piping


what else am i missing

also would i be safe for now only to run 6lbs on stock injectors with the E-manage.

i have more e-manage question but i need to do more reading on that first

thanks in advance

for the intercooler go to johnnyracecar.com for a nice intercooler.

for piping, i used some radiator hoses (from junkyard) pieced together with 2" exhaust piping along with a cold air intake from ebay. my not be pretty, but is cheap and gets the job done.

I say you might want to get a boost gauge and maybe an oil pressure gauge, well that's what I have at least.
I say get some bigger injectors, I'm using toyota 310's myself @ 8lbs. A friend of mine kept his stock injectors and it ran like crap on 6-8lbs. I just had my piping made for me and I'm using a dsm side mount ic. I actually needed only 1 pipe made, the charge pie that goes into my intake mani. the other pipe that goes over the turbo is off the same dsm

this is a pic of my set up right after I got it. I've had a new bigger charge pipe made for me since then and different wires.

I'm not sure if I have a dsm, supra or a nissan side mount intercooler. I originally had a dsm side mount ic but my boy threw this one in because it fit better.

so my new list will be

intercooler
piping
bigger injectors
guages (oil, boost)

now the question is can i hold off on the injectors for now untill more $$$ roll in. and will the E-manage control them (injector cycle wise) for me

 

[bizoneoeh]

I say yeah, run low boost around 4lbs but make sure you get your car tuned. If you don't get your s**t tuned then you won't have to worry about getting bigger injectors later, you'll be worrying about finding a new motor

 

[CiVIcCFAsST]

yeah thats right get it tuned
dont be a lzy azz
J/K, but g/l with the install

 

[rickles8099]

just buy some dsm 450s off of ebay. you can usually get them for around $70 - $80 shipped. also if you run low boost now with stock injectors, you will pay now to get it tuned and then pay again to retune it when you get bigger injectors.

haha i saw this same post on turbod16 but anyway yeah i'm in the same boat as you

you need vaccuum and oil lines as well as couplers and t-bars (12). also need oil fittings.
