Default My first turbo project: 89 civic w/ an LS

Here are some pictures from my first turbo project im in the process of doing

Overview of the chaos

Look at that bling. Hopefully in wont break, it seems braced pretty well

14b!!!!!........sigh, yeah yeah. I know it is too small for the engine blah, blah, blah. If all goes well with this setup then I plan on switch on turbo/manifold/dp to something like a T3.

My intercooler piping from the turbo to the IC. Consists of AdvancedAuto Parts crush bent piping....woot woot.

Heres the DownPipe. Orignally it was made for a d series using an HF manifold. Lets just say it looked completly different when I got it. I hacked it up and rewelded it.

My boost gauge setup. I made the bracket from some sheet aluminum in the shop

Oil pan drain. Hopefully its high enough.....?? Is it?

My BOV

And here is the car with the interfooler. That was the first thing to get installed and I drove it around for a week with it on there.


So its coming along pretty well, taking a little longer than planned but oh well. Still need to mount the EG radiator, put exhuast on & o2 bungs, then gove over everything once agiain. Maybe by this weekend. sigh.....So what do you guys think

I think your turbo is to small bla bla bla. Im digging the crush bends. I hope you baced that mani with somthin because you gonna be pissed when you down pipe is scraping the road. Other then that it looks solid.

Looking pretty good.That charge piping and downpipe is gettho fabulous The 14b should be fine for now and later one just switch to something bigger when you get bored of the quick spool.The car itself looks nice and clean too

Looks good. What are the dimensions on that fmic? Your charge pipes looks great, for crush bends. Overall every thing looks good
