Re: first turbo project
 

i boost 9 pounds. the piping is approved for 100 psi of water. i have the intercooler mounted with mounts i made. its just siiting there in that pic. i ran the piping behind the resivoir and up through the whole by the resovoir fill spout. the piping fits perfectly. i had to move the radiator overflow up and zip tie it. but no biggy. i traded a vtec head i had laying around for the intercooler. the turbo was 100$ and it came with a dsm side mount that was ugly and dint fit very well. the manny was free and i made the adapter plate to the turbo. the hose was $40 and i spent like $40 more on fittings and connectors. the oil line kit i bought from tunertoys was $90. so all in all about $300. i still need fuel management and i have a msd 6al ignition to put on and a blaster 2 coil.

o and the piping will kink in sharp bends so use the hard plastic elbows from kabellins

450s run too rich because you need soemthign to control them.

Re: first turbo project
 

i know im mailing my ecu to get it chipped with some d16 vtec injectors so no worries

Re: first turbo project
 

As I said, love those IC pipes made of hose.

What is that and were did you get it, (pool filter hose?...) I'd like to get some like this.

Re: first turbo project
 

dude you really need some bigger injectors. your VTEC once arnt gonna work. you also need to get it tuned, well at least get a base map.

but other then that, it looks good for your first time.

OMG, that shits homemade at its finest...never seen the charge pipes youve done. If you throw some duck tape on there the duck will stay on 4evr.

Re: first turbo project
 

that duckcall fits perfectly in the blow-off valve and doesnt come off. its sweet. thnx

Re: first turbo project
 

Hahaha...

That intercooler is a huge bitch.

I wonder how long that intercooler piping is going to last.
