Why don't you like the Y8? Good potential.

lol, just a personal hate for the motor and timing maps

Re: HMT Pros Please Help.
 

why did they go and replace such a good thing with that motor, Timing chain instead of a belt, distributorless ignition, and what is all that EGR crap? it looks like some kind of freak motor built in the us.

The manifold/DP section looks like it'd be pretty easy to fab. Even the charge piping isn't that bad of a deal compared to some setups I've seen (hell, even an LS/vtec swapped ED hatch with a decent size turbo is tight). I honestly don't think it would be any worse than some of the setups I've done on my ED6 chassis with a b-series, and the only reason it looks cluttered up in the pic is because of the fmic. A battery relocation and a smic would probably make life easier, or a fmic with both the inlet/outlet on the same side of the endtanks. However like stated, tuning would def. be fun. Maybe a combo of an fmu and an afc with slightly larger injectors would work, that way you wouldn't have to scale back as much to the point where your ignition starts advancing like crazy. :-\

hmt pros is redundant. everyone on hmt is a pro

Re: HMT Pros Please Help.

Re: HMT Pros Please Help.
 

Wow this is the secound time tonight i will be saying this
but get on howstuffworks.com and you can atleast find out how
a turbo system works so you up to par

Re: HMT Pros Please Help.
 

Doesn't look that bad. If I had the time and I were closer I would take a shot at that. I wouldn't want to tune that though. Thats gotta be the simplest "manifold" I have ever seen. Go for it, dude.

adapter plate FTW!! Well you might have to make sacrifices, like you might have to dump accessories on the engine and or move things around to get the clearance you need to make this work. Not everything is straightforward but i would bet that the car would have to be down for a while to make all this fabbed up and installed and running. My greatest concern is managemant, as this is an obd2 car and i have no idea what works on new civics... I bet its probably wayyy expensive either way. It would be much less hassle getting an older civic (2000 or older) and tooling around with that.
