Remember this is a real turbo kit (not an electric or any of that bullshit). Discuss...

what the ----?

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

I don't get it?

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

You can mount turbo's like that? since when?

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

Huh? Theres a pipe coming from the factory header to the Turblow I guess? And it's running what, 1 psi? 2 at most? Exhuast cooled? :1

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

ohh i get it...if u look in the first pic you can see where the exhaust comes up and enters the turbo so it is obviously exhaust driven and not some eclectronis bullshit....but now i have myseld asking why?

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

hmm where are the oil lines? is this thing functional? lol its using a fmu so i guess not! lol

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

The company makes kits for bikes so they are using an Aerocharger self-contained turbo. These are the ones you don't need to run oil to so you can mount them however you want. And the fuel management has nothing to do with how functional the turbo itself is.

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

thats pretty sweet! but i dont understand why they dont need oil? can you explain this to me?

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

That's probably one of those Aerodyne self-lubricating turbos.

weird.

-edit-
It is.

quote from the site: "Here is another 210 HP Turbo Charged Civic SI ready to go to its happy owner." ^-^

Damn chink ---- that will ---- up your car for half the cost of ------- it up like a real man.

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

Civic Si with a D? I thought that generation of Civic's, the only Si's were in 2000 and 2001 and they came with the b16's?

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

Damn! That's cool. The bearing must operate similar to a wheel bearing. Just a little grease duirng installation and that's all it need.

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

nope theres eg's that are si that come with d16z6's i no i have 2 of them

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

I know EG Si's came with D's, this isn't an EG.

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

woops.. didnt realy look at the car in the pic....

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

heh, i was thinking they had put it on a car with an EGR valve and routed the gasses into the turbo.

that is one tiny ass charge pipe, my cock is thicker :S

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

the silly canadian si comes with a d

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

I know that too, but I assumed this was a US car. It's probably just a typo.

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

wow.... so this works... crazy. That definitely makes turbo setups quite a bit easier.

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

theres problems with those turbos though, their designed more on the side of just being an oiless turbo than they are at doing their essencial job of being a turbo.

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

x2

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

That's definitly different. I'd like to know how it performs from someone who has experience with turbo's

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

those turbos are sweet, I was going to run one on my sled 8)

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

WTF is that? "Dr. Boost" hahaha, i wouldnt want that in my car. And by the way isn't there a guy on a forum whos name is Dr Boost? Maybe he makes them? lol :S

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

it says Dr. Turbo you illiterate fucknut.

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

those bearings are tits, where can i pick some up, i want some for custom projects

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

It reminds me of this manifold, they just moved the turbo enough to keep ac. Looks like there turbo placement makes piping for a sidemount really easy. They did have to route the lower radiator hose around the turbo. Idk, looks like a half ass kit to me :8

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

Uhm, ---- i messed up. But i'm not illiterate and dont get so offensive. Anyway Dr boost or Dr turbo it still sucks on a car. "210 hp civic SI" thats slow. But i did like the idea on a motorcycle.

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

99-00 were only EJ version of B16A2 Si fury. 96-98 were only up to Y8s.

EDIT: That manifold is PIIIIIMP! :y I want one!

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

Couldn't you still run a normal turbo like that? Have your oil pressure going in the same oil inlet, you'd just need a longer return line. It sits higher than my turbo does, so it seems like it would still be decent for gravity drain, unless the slope is too shallow. You may need to tilt the turbo on it's side but it doesn't seem like it'd be too huge of an issue.

What do you guys think?

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

no

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

Those turbos are very nice. Very versitile and compact. They also use VNT technology, which lowers the boost threshold significantly. I would sport one those anyday.

Foil bearings are awsome, just not proven yet on reliability when it comes to cycling the engine.

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

interesting ???

ROFFLE

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

wow. now it wont be long til you see soccer moms sporting boosted caravans and ventures; god help us

Re: Interesting Civic Turbo Kit
 

yea, ive heard about crazy remote mount turbo systems for camaro's. They use twin aerochargers mounted where the ------- mufflers are. Wouldnt you think there would be a massive amount of lag with that much piping? I think there is some kind of valve that keeps pressure in the pipes all the time. Pretty gay if you ask me, Dont try to reinvent the turbo system, its already perfected. Just the turbocharger itself...
