Finally boosted - D14 :)
 

Yay!

Finally boosting!!!

Setup:
D14A4 (Civic 6th gen)
Garrett T2
IC, BOV
FMU 10:1, inline fuel pump
Gagues - A/F, boost, oil temp

Car puls very smooth, and harder than before (imagine that :D).
No bluish smokes, no leaks, no signs of detonation (ignition is set to stock! - will retard it for 1 degree just in case... - need timing light 1st tho). However I do get a boost creep (sigh).

At 2000rpm it starts building pressure, at 3000rpm it's arround 5-6psi, at 6500rpm it's 8psi.

Hopefully next week will go to dyno to double-check A/F ratio, and get some numbers.

What can I say... happy as a puppy! Feels sooo great to drive turboed honda, even at light throttle it just starts pulling :) .. and not to mention awsum sound of BOV when releasing throttle.. yay!

congratulations, but ummmmmmmm........ i think you forgot something............ PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re:Finally boosted - D14 :)
 

get some pics up...on a second note, what bov and IC are you using?

Re:Finally boosted - D14 :)
 

BOV is Forge VTA - http://www.hr-a.com/impreza/ceedee/pics/engine/013.jpg - sound is awesome!
Intercooler comes of Opel Astra 1.9TDI (european model).
Pics will be soon :)

Sheesh... just came back home.. was driving some 100miles arround city.. wow! Feels soooo good!
Before going home saw a friend.. he got Del Sol 1.6 with 125HP engine... hehe.. beat him fairly easy -> which means I got over 125HP -> since I also shifted at 6000rpm (waiting to go to wideband to be shure for A/F ratio... altho A/F gauge shows rich).

Best thing is torque.. I lied in 1st post -> at 2000rpm I got almost 3psi already!!
Under 6000rpm it's arround 7psi, which is fairly good, no signs of detonations at all.. just smooth pull!
Now when I cruise, I can shift into higher gear at 3000-3500rpm, and still have enuff torque for acceleration in next gear! Awsum...

Hi,

Since I already have the 6th gen 1,4 Civic, I've also been looking for some extra hp, but couldn't find a thing ::)

So I'm very curieus what your setup is. Could you please mail me a part list

(goossensh@hotmail.com)

I can realy use some help on accomplishing this project cause I don't know sh*t about turbo's for now, but want to learn very very fast.

Thanks
