Just completed my 240 turbo install PICS included::
 

Hey guys, My install went fairly well over the weekend and yes, I do have pics through imagestation. Things were very slow and this damn car is quite tough to work on because everything is cramped. Battery relocated into the trunk. Custom top mount turbo manifold, a very large mitsubishi turbo (don't really know the specs of it but it is damn hugh!!), braided oil lines, custom 3" down pipe, 3" cat-back exhaust, CCA front mount intercooler (big props for an awesome product - thanks again to Rene and her team @ CCA).

Now here is the thing: Car turns over and starts fine. No problems with the idle. Have not completed the exhaust yet so there is nothing after the down pipe. My concern is that when the car is idling, the turbo will actually stop spinning. Now this is a very big turbo (comparable to a t4/t4) but does is stop spinning?? Everything is fine if you rev the engine the turbo spins up fine. The oil line has been checked and I'm using a -3 An braided line. The car runs fine, Idles great and no leaks which is awesome. But I was concenred about the turbo not spinning. I'm getting the exhaust done this week and then it has to be tuned. For the fuel side I'm using an SAFC 2 and a walbro in-tank 255 lph pump and I'm only going for about 7-8 psi. I know the KA motor can take a beating but I"m starting off slow and going from there.

So what do you guys think?? Also I would like some feedback about the turbo not spinning at Idle but it currently is an open downpipe.

Enjoy the pics and I would like to hear some feedback.

don't worry about it. I doubt my t3/t4 spins. The t3/t4 on my buddy's accord doesnt spin at idle. If you give it some gas it should definitly spin though.

I hope you're not expecting the stock injectors to support THAT turbo at 7-8psi ???

Don't worry about it not spinning at idle, that's normal.

But yea... get some bigger injectors.

crx2fast : thanks for the vid, it makes me feel a lot better about my setup. I'll post up more pics and vids soon.

It is all because of HMT and the beautiful things you guys do here that gave me the courage to try it myself. Thanks.

oh, and about the injectors, yes they are going to be upgraded to possibly the Venom 770cc units and use the SAFC to scale down. Thanks for the comments.

not possible. the safc can't scale to -69 and that's what u would have to do jus to get it to idle.
