DA9 Turbo
hey guys im new to this new home made turbo website...but i thought id show u guys what iv been up tooo and see what u think so far, still work in progress and more is going to be done.
SO.........
After a long time I finally have something I can drive and ENJOY!!!!
I started with a 1993 Nissan sentra CLASIC
After driving that around for a year and the g/f leaving me and taking all my ---- including the car I decided I’m going to start a project...
What inspired me was my best friend Jon. he had a awesome and clean db1
We worked on his car for a wile, rims stereo upgrade rim, and finally, did a B16a1 swap with the s1 tranny and loved it YouTube - Integra b16
But sometimes fun comes to an end...were in this case, his fuel line bursted shorted the pump and lit his car on fire
My Project. 1992 Acura Integra GS
When I got it, the car was a mess...
so after 300 bucks and a weekend I made her look all shiny and new
EXTERIOR:
after driving it around for a wile and paying some stuff off, I started to save some for some little things to make it look a little more sexier something worked...others was just a waist of time and now it's off(like under glow)
And I think that looked to "rice" so I took them off" THE NEONS ARE OFFF!!!!!
Got some new rims, lowered my car with skunk 2 springs, some headlights and that's all I wanted to do when it comes to the outside.
ENGINE:
So I started off with a stock B18a1 with an YS1 tranny
First mod: a COOL AIR INTAKE!!!!! Not lots of power but it sounded cool and throttle response was better.
Then I painted my Valve cover.
Put in a DEL SOL SI dual core 1/2 rad and junked the a/c so my engine ended up looking like this.
Drove around for a while liking to but then I did some hmk on forced induction and it let me go TURBO
At first I thought this wasn’t going to be a hard task. run some pipes do some exhaust work this and that, more I got into it the more I realized I better take my time doing this. So after 6 months of working my car and making sure every time I installed a new part it would have to drive 6hr's b/c I always did it at my parent’s house. I ended up getting a turbo kit and installing it like SO.
Removed all the A/C stuff
Put in the intercooler ran all the piping, made a whole in the side of my car to run the piping. Installed a custom washer bottle, got my bov welded and some holes shut and ended up with my final product. I just have to clean up the engine bay, get a new battery, relocate it in the back, do some body work…
dont bash it up too much, it's still a work in progress, most of it was done at my dad's garage so most of it is home made, but w/e lol, but i think im doing allright for now considering iv had the car for one year. and no to much funds...
Inside.
I haven’t done too much, DEH 5900 poineer gauges boost and a/f LED swap and 2 10” subs type “S” with a Mono v12 alpine amp and a CAP
updated news, i have a new tranny going into it, a gsr ys1 and also a new t3/t4 turbo with a better tune.
