Re: 1991civicsi build thread
The flange for the turbo had to be rotated.
And the wastegate needed a flange and an elbow.
Then we started on the downpipe.
Today we are going to work on the intercooler outlets, and if time permits, mock up the charge pipes.

Re: 1991civicsi build thread "now with more damaged parts"
Ok, so, after driving around for about a mile or two, the car turns off. Immediatly we look at the timing belt. The cam gear looks like this.
So, I pull the stock cam out and it looks as if it seized on the head.
The wierd thing is that there was oil in the head. I dont know how much psi b/c the gauge was not hooked up.
The bottom end looks ok. Im gonna inspect it more tomorrow.
I reason that this is a good reason for me to upgrade to a built head.
This really sucks, I was planning on getting tuned next week. Oh well.
