random-strike's Integra
random-strike's 1991 Acura Integra LS. Car started with a worn out B18a1. Then kept going with a B20b head and intake manifold. Then finally stopped with a spun bearing... a new motor was in order.

I was able to run in high 15s @ around 90mph. NOT QUITE FAST ENOUGH.
I started out by purchasing a JAP B18b for $845. I needed to convert the engine to ODB0 so i reused the old injectors and dist.
New 250ft-lbs clutch from 88 Turbo CRX. Thanks man...
The motor installed, and ready to break the clutch in a little bit...
The turbo, $420 rebuilt off ebay. its a T3 Super 60, .60/.48

Works great on this engine.
When I first met johnny, he had plans on turbocharing his 1g crx. Well, things didnt go through and he never ended up doing it. Then came along his Integra and last summer he was almost about done with it, and then bailed again. So Finally Johnny has gathered enough shit to get his car running and all the stuff for his turbo setup. Plan was "lets meet at your work at 11:30am".... 12:00 still no johnny, Finally Dave lee shows up (doing some OBD0 love to johnnys pr4) .... still waiting for johnny 1:00, then 1:30 he finally rolls in.
Nothing like removing a nice hot manifold after the car was just driven for 2 1/2 hours, haha. While me and johnny were working on putting the turbo setup on. Dave was chipping the ecu and putting a turbo pr4 map on.

Johnny clocking the turbo.
Oil pan Nipple for the return
450cc DSM injectors installed
Sporting our very own RAMHORN manifold mated up to a brand new 60/48 T3.
Tuner Toyz oil return fitting makes things very easy, Thanks craig :)
Since johnny forgot to bring a flange for his downpipe, and any mandrel bends. Beau came buy to give us a hand. Beau had 3 extra mandrels, and he took over on the downpipe project. Here is beau making the custom flange.
Johnny fitting the manifold/turbo
I was busy working on the Charge pipes, I found a nice AEM cold air intake (2.5 aluminum) in the dumpster at a local performance shop. Had some really nice bends in it, so I used it on Johnnys IC piping.
Home Depot Connectors for IC piping
Jesus christ, talk about a tranny leak hahah, There was fucking fluid all over underneith johnnys car, He had previously tried fixing it with some JB weld on the case halfs of the tranny.
lol, My guess would still be that axle seal.

wasn't it :P - random-strike
The oil return,

Note shown, but you can see that it would be almost impossible to put a wastegate actuator inbetween the comressor housing and block. There was just no way it would fit with the internal setup, or how the manifold was designed. So, I made a little bracket and mounted the wastegate actuator to the block, Then we used a drum brake spring to attach to the flapper (josh ross style) lol
Piecing the DP together
lil chop saw action
Downpipe all done, came out really good, driving open DP for now, he needs all new exhaust.

Wait a min.... I think we forgot something,
This momment was brought to you by Rockstar energy drink
The Patent Beau Garrison DP Cock Shot rofl, since the DP was already in the car we didnt want to take it back out. Beau hanging from the lower control arms upside down while the car was on the rack to get this picture.. LOL, Johnny was holding him up, I should of got the picture of johnnys nose in beaus ass, classic hahahah
Things came together pretty quick. Johnny showed me and beau what a flat rate boost gauge install ment. (under the hood, through the fender to the dash, haha. Nice john
Alot of people ask this, Why is my shit steaming when I first start it up! this is very common, all the greese from your hands touching the manifold is all burning off. So dont freak out and think its exhaust, it just needs a couple heating cycles and your fine.


I forgot to take pictures of the engine bay, but I'm sure johnny will take some today. Johnny and Beau went out and test drove it first.. They come back and the car is running like complete shit. So then I take it for a spin, It seemed to me it was something in the ignition system, Pulled the cap and rotor, looked like shit, just cleaned the terminals. Popped a new set of plugs in and a another set of plug wires and she ran smooth as ever. Next problem was our home depot 90 degree bend we used off the compressor housing that melted a hole in it. We stopped by beaus work and fixed that real quick with some radiator hose. WG seems to be opening way early (and possibly due to my external mount job) right at 3-4psi. We upped the boost with a HMT Vac T stage 1 boost controller and got it sitting good at 7-9psi.
Yet another classic HMT meal @ Dennys.

Thanks Beau for helping with the DP & thanks Dave for doing the ECU.

got exhaust put on... 2.5 piping 2.5 in/out turbo muffler. same mufflers that are on the camaro . hard to tell the difference in acceleration between open DP and this exhaust. except its super quiet and doesn't make me look like a ricer.
boost gauge, got it for 55 dollars from a ricer shop... there was no price on it so he said 55 so i said heck yah. its autometer and one of the bigger ones, and its gel filled...
my jeff frank style flat rate fan switch installed
got my o2 sensor in... yay...
Car runs pretty good, even with the boost falling off to about 5psi in the upper rpms, and it being pig rich as much so i can't floor it with the rpms below 5000 :)

Final setup includes:

JAP B18b
johnnyracecar intercooler (thanks Tyrus)
RAMHORN! manifold (thanks Beau)
Ford Probe BOV
T3 Super 60 Turbo .60/.48
Autometer Boost Gauge
2.5' charge piping
