dump pipes and hoses to the ground ftmfw Anyway, whats the reasoning behind that enormous oil pressure sending unit at the turbo? was it just easier to put there? instead of it hangin there I would run some ss hose to it and just zip tie it up somewhere so the weight wasn't vibrating on it. Love the car though...13.4@106 thats movin for 5 lbs..I want an ef

What i noticed on my LS is when you take that check valve out and look inside, max diameter that vacuum can go through is only about 1/8 of an inch. You should try to get a 1/2" 90* hose fitting and run a 1/2" hose to the ground. or some big *** fittings and hoses and tap them into the valve cover.

BTW i have never seen an overflow bottle on a civic mounted to the firewall.

Yea I fogot to mention I took the sending unit off before I ever ran it like that. I just capped off the tee and ran it from the back of the block. For the valve cover i am just going to put a b18a valve cover on so I dont have to worry about the pcv valve hole. I had all the redneck V8 guys at the track saying WTF lol. They were like that shitbox honda sedan is running what time?.? Gotta love it when your $2000 POS out runs someones 20,000 car. Old body's FTW

anyone else on here running a turbo on a stock b20 bottom end.. besides me and ///bangodango/// the only reason i did my b20 setup was to actually see how long it would last being stock and turbo and because of all the horror story's their are about stock b20's.(also because i got the b20 motor for $200 and needed something because i blew my gsr ).but for me its been over a year now and so far its all good...

nice setup, but dont see why you didnt flip the turbo the other way since you have no AC

overall sick car man

I only ran it that way becuause I already had a downpipe made for it. All my bolt holes are stripped out for the traction bar mounting. Somone shoot me....time to break out the welder for homemade mounting
