Just need a tune! 56k die!
Figured id post some pictures of the setup ive been putting together. Stock d16y7 in a 97 civic dx vsm hb, 48/60 t3, old school fmic, dsm 1g bov, 450cc, safc2, vortech btm, and tried to meet my weight goal of under 1900lbs. Ive just been taking my time, using my girlfriends car in the snow instead of mine. Should be done by spring 08 goal of 180-190whp in a 1900-1800lb car. :6

Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
---- those pictures are small... WTF, try clicking on these ones.
Im gunna find a k&n that will fit onto this. :6 http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/6...e020mm9.th.jpg http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/9...e023ls6.th.jpg |

Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
the only problem with PVC is the toxic fumes it releases when it gets to hot try to use the black abs piping. There are other Capri guys running 19 pounds through PVC FMIC setups just fine
|
Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
toxic fumes? everything gives off toxic fumes when heated, only your engine eats these ones
|
Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
Im only using the pvc for a charge pipe basically from the bov at behind the headlight to the throttle body. Im more worried about the rubber joints smoking and giving off more fumes than the pvc. Why would using pvc create more of a chance for a boost leak than normal piping.?

Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
it will be fine. people just love to hate

So here I am...not speaking out of my ass. |
Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
looks like a start only thing i would do is get ride of that intake manifold you can find a y8 for cheap and it will help that motor A TON!!

Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
I would ditch the rubber home deopt couplers, I tried them on my first setup too, but they melt and expand really quickly, also if you wrap your resistors in electral tape or heat shrink them it gives a much cleaner look or you could wire in a resistor box. Also on the weight reduction I'm not trying to be a dick but are you overweight? if so you can save a few extra pounds on your car by loosing weight and you'll feel better too.

Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
hahah, I love the hate. Again I am running 10psi for a total goal of 180whp. I am using one 2 foot section of pvc. The previous owner used rubber elbows with no evidence of expanding or dis satisfaction. I appreciate all the info but I have seen to many setups with rubber elbows and pvc piping to change mine to complete aluminum. Also my setup is a stock d16y7 i dont want a y8 im, anways I would go z6 im not y8. Also skinnye what was your the motor you used them on, what psi, and what hp. I almost guarantee one of those exceed the rubber elbows capacity to sustain a solid state. ie too much pressure and heat. As sea level has a lot to do with this.
I live very close to sea level on the east coast.

http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/7...0233dk5fr0.jpg Why does this person use rubber elbows if they melt llike crazy? You used a pvc elbow, my guess is it got a hair line crack from expanding and progressed. Also wrapping reistors in tape can make them explode due to the heat. Never heard of heat wrapping them. Most of the replys are about changing things that are already done, ie im, elbows, piping, resistors. Im not going to change something thats already done and will work fine for what I want. As confucious sae would say theres more than one way to skin a cat. :6 This is HMT I love my y7 im, my resistors, my pvc, and my rubber elbows, I will not change it until my own expierence proves me wrong. |

Im sure you can do some cool things with Miatas but I have a Honda, PLEASE SHUT UP! :8 I wont bother posting all the pictures of y7's with that fuckn rubber ebow. |

Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
Actually I didnt do it on the cheap, I did what I felt was appropriate for my goals. If you want to get into continuous service temperature of pvc, my dad is a chemical engineer with a masters in chemistry, he helped the 1990 nobel prize winner with his nmr, I will ask him to take pieces of the pvc and the rubber and find the actual continuous service temperature. :1 I just dont understand how you one person with your 53 post expierence can change the facts that more than one person has used pvc and rubber elbows on their turbo setups with no problems.

I don't think people are "hating", I think some are offering actual suggestions. Hey man, you can do all you want with PVC, and learn from mistakes, but what does the difference in make (mazda/honda) have to do with anything? Your dad would be so proud, as I give you the KNOBel prize for 2007 :) |

dude, you don't get it. I, myself, have used pcv and home depot rubber in my setup before. My experience was unsuccessful. the end. My post count and the make/model of my car does not factor into the equation. So while you have a valid argument, it does not guarantee the truth of its conclusion, since a valid argument may have false logic/proof. In other words, lighten up nuggah. |

Aquafina bottle? huh. I have a castrol syntec quart for a catch can. If thats what you meant. |
Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
The picture you posted has a water bottle as a rad overflow...dunno what the other guy was talking about

Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
Imageshack sucks real bad. First pics dont open and of course all of them launch like 247 pop ups. Photobucket FTW.
Other than that sweet setup lol i guess |
Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
Polyvynilchloride is an expectable means of charge pipe on HMT. The carcinogenic chlorine based molecules that are released when energy is introduced into the compound are of no concern to us..

Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
I was running around 10psi on an f22a1 power level i'm unsure, I had another buddy run one on his det swapped nx2000 the thing tore pretty quickly but the boost was kind of on the high side, if you want to go for cheap elbows that will hold up get some radiator hose. I've seen silcone couplers on ebay for around the same price as the rubber ones at the hardware store, also if you do decide to change the pvc pipe which I don't know why you would unless if it melts or breaks( I've never un it before) don't waste money on aluminum just get some cheapo mild steel.

Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
I dunno about you but a lot of people have told me that if i wanna learn some stuff stick around here for awhile read some threads and make some posts. I guess I would call that HMT expierence.

is this your first turbo set up ? |
Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
i used ABS on my first setup, and homeboy depot couplers without a prob. except when my homemade boost controller fucked up, and blew the whole pipe from ic out to im off, and part of it landed on my exhaust housing and melted, but not all the way through. i pulled over and put it all back together and it worked great.

Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
Yeah if my sign didnt give it away, I just turned 18 and this is my first turbo setup. confucious sae is helping me generously :6

then how come the other day you argued that the turbo you are running is the best sohc turbo on earth when it the only one you've ever used ? |
Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
Read what I said, Im a new and found a t3 with a drag manifold, easy and done. 14b would be a bitch to find the flange and play around with that. I was only kidding, just stating my t3 so far has not done me wrong.

Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
how could it have done you wrong yet if you hvant run it yet?

hahah. i said SO FUCKN FAR.... SO FAR... aka up to this mother ------- point. I didnt say yeah my t3 works just fine im gunna have no problems. I said so far my t3 has not done me wrong. WTF. READ.
