Finally finished up my setup!! Tuning to come soon!
I just got done with this bitch this last week. It's running really good currently but I set up an appointment to dyno tune it next Saturday. Right now I am running on my old Uberdata map, which was tuned for my old setup (really similar). Anyways, it's nothing special, but here it is.
A little rundown on the setup.
- 90 Civic STD chassis
- d16z6 engine, rebuilt from the ground up with stock internals
- ARP headstuds
- OBD 1 conversion, chipped p28 ECU currently running Uberdata, will tune with Crome next weekend
- SFP mini-ram manifold, heat wrapped and silicone coated
- knock-off 38mm wastegate w/ 9 psi spring
- T3 .42/.48 turbo with a 50 trim comp wheel, completely rebuilt
- eBay intercooler
- 2nd gen DSM BOV
- custom piping made by myself using piping and flanges from Racing Solutions
- DSM 450cc injectors
- etc.
That's about it. Just your basic T3 turbo setup. It runs really well and as far as I can tell is going to be a great setup for me. I really like this turbo too, the spool characteristics are exactly what I wanted. My last setup had a T3 .48/.60 on it and was great for top end, but this T3 spools way sooner and has a really great mid range. It's going to be a lot of fun on the autocross course!!
Anyways, here are some pics. Any feedback is welcomed. Oh, and I know I should have used T-bolt clamps, but I got these for cheap and I made sure to tack weld the ends of all the piping so the couplers have something to grab on to.
So far I am very satisfied with this setup!

Very nice looking setup, just throw a larger wire loom over all the gauge wiring and it will be super clean.
