Completed install... (I don't only play with my civic


Oil pan came off... you piece of ----. Needed a little 'persuasion' with the rubber minisledge...


...The OH SO STRONG D series bottom end! Gotta love it :P Also note the oil return line: That is a piece of my funnel (beer funnel) that I cut off (after hitting it) to use temporarily...


...wow the beer is getting to me... but i still progress! (it's almost 4am)


This is the downpipe I (we) came up with... Can you beleive I've never done this before!?

what are you using for fuel management? I think that return line is too small, and also too easy to break, wont last. what intercooler, are you using a bov, what size charge pipes, how is it running?

Fuel management: DSM 2nd gen 450's + AFC @ -35

Boost: .45 bar (7.35 psi)

Running: Awesome

Return line: Has been changed

------- turbo: Burning oil!

A/C: Works beautifully

The external wastegate is vented to the atmosphere and REEKS.

My intercooler is black and so stealth. I LOVE it.

It sounds like a lawn mower with no exhaust pipe. It's really annoying and it smells like ----. I hate it. I want to pipe it into the exhaust but that is going to take WAY too much effort :P

Why am I banned from the chat room?

I didn't think I was that hated..

...well, anymore questions and I'll be happy to answer them. As far as pinging, i'm running 93 octane, and I haven't heard a single one. I hope i'm not missing them..? Either way, keep the questions coming, I'll keep the answers flowing. I'll get you guys some pics of the intercooler too... I know I took a few, as to where they are, I don't know...? I'll check when I get home.
