Well After Many hours yesterday I finally got my turbo on, Never had too many problems except for the stupid MX-6 Intercooler. I think it was the hardest thing to install without cutting parts off the car. I think I will look for something a little more user friendy now. Other than that I still have a problem with my wastegate, It is off of lebaron turbo (which is like 5.5 lbs I believe) and I am only getting 3 PSI boost which isn't much but better than nothing. I will start to Iron out that stuff soon.

My engine is stock Z6 with 200,000 Kms (120,000 Miles).

Here is some pics of it all.

Kit consists of:

IHI RHB52 Subaru Turbo with MX-6 Compressor inlet side
Civic CX/VX Manifold
2.5" Dump Pipe (props to legendboy for welding that up)
Lebaron 5.5 Psi Wastegate
Holley Adjustable FMU
NGK - ZFR7F-11 Plugs 2 ranges colder
Walbro In-Tank Fuel Pump
K&N air filter
MX-6 Intercooler and all the Intercooler pipes are MX-6
Except for Subaru Throttle body Boot
MX-6 BOV ( which is actually pretty loud)
And of course boost, A/F, EGT gauges











Thanks

Looks good.... just curiouse... does your stock O2 sensor fit the CX manifold becuase it looks like it does?

thats a pretty cool way to mount that mx-6/probe i/c. it seems pretty big! how much surface area is exposed in the front? (ie get a frontal shot)

all in all looks like a pretty cool setup. make sure to post times/dyno #'s

need to extend that intake off the turbo out a lil more im sure all that hot airs not doin it any justice... run a pipe out the front and put the filter on or somethin.. but anyhow it looks good cant wait till i get all the parts and put mine on!!! usin a stock dsm 2gen ic... waitin on fmu and vtec controller... got all the rest..

Turboman

you could cut the intercooler in two and reweld it to a FMIC like i did.......

check out my setup

Thanks for your feedback everbody.
Now to answer your questions.... yes, the stock o2 plug screws into the CX manifold,the plug is a little short though.


(Yes that is snow in the background)

There is only like half the IC exposed so I will have to change that to make it more efficient, it was 2am and i just wanted to go home so that mounting position was the quickest.
I am gonna run the filter to a better spot, and i am actually getting a bigger one tommorrow and hopefully I can get something welded up tommorrow to take car of that.

That IC is pretty crazy I might modify it like that cause it will fit alot better than current set up.
