Default my boosted coupe

just got done with the install, everything is still pretty much in test/tune mode but that is pretty much how everything always is.

setup is...

95 dx coupe 5spd
d15b7, d16z6 im
garret .42 .48 t3
std manifold, custom adapter plate
2.5" dp, straight pipe to thrush turbo muffler
2" charge pipes
Volvo BOV
Autometer Boost Gauge

Awaiting installation:
Accel 550s
nissan silvia intercooler

right now im just running 2psi on a richened setup, will be tuned after injectors and IC are installed.


Random Parts, IC, turbo, oil feed, etc.


oil feed, 3/8", also using 3/8" hose... i heard this is to big but i haven't experienced any problems yet.


install day


this unsuspecting d15 had no idea what was coming


the adapter plate and turbo both ported to the width of the std manifold, note the sloppy gasket cutout


ready for install


using custom "hmt" radiator fasteners




not really any room for a WG actuator so im using a spring for now (pics below)






oil feed installed, jb welded just in case


oil return








first thing i ever welded, arc welded and it sucked... got a new wire-fed mig so a new dp will come soon


field sfc, pretty much only used as a tach


how my boost gauge will remain until i can find my dremel bits and cut the hole in the dash a little bigger


heres how version 1 looks for now


notice the spring MBC


MBC!!!!!




rollin on some new fat fives

Looking good, what EMS are you going to be using? That oil pan has seen better days and that downpipe is the ugliest thing i've ever seen. Good job.

HT would rip your setup apart, no FullRice or JDM on your ride.

i would have thought that thick *** adapter plate would have had your oil drain super low... Your ---- looks awesome though. Get that ic in there and boost the ---- out of it. Definatly homemade, HT would ban your ***.

i like the rtv oil pan instead of buying a $15 gasket. Ha! you definatly dont belong on honda tech.

Good job.That is a solid low buck kit and once you get a front mount and your engine management going it will be even better.That stick welded downpipe is hot too.

Thats a true example of HMT, btw, your charge pipe coupler from the compressor might melt/catch fire being on the manifold like that.
