overall i spent 600 for the kit... and i think its time for a boost controller. a good tune and some radials...

it feels fast but when all your friends have crazy 400hp hatches it doesnt seem quite fast enough

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

J/W how do you control boost it looks to me like there is no wastegate internal or external??

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

see that thing that looks like a wastegate actuator near the compressor? ya thats a wastegate actuator :8

hah eyah you might want to check it out before you ask a question like that. anyways looks good. the car looks good to when it doesent have snow all over it.

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

I did look but i just must of missed it my bad. :-X Looks good though, much better then my first setup on my 91 hatch. Also how much boost are you running??

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

nice setup, so who ISNT boosted these days? :S

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

HMT approved.Car looks like a nice simple low buck setup.Crank the boost and make some vids :y

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

looks good. how does it run?

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

car is running great. pulls pretty good for what it is. im running a basemap from xenocron's bin directory. i think its time for a real clutch. when i bang 3rd the rpm's the clutch disagrees.

im currently running 8psi.

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

its slow

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch

elyria

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

we'll i guess im one person on here that dosent have a turbo car yet

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

Looks good, Im running 12psi on my dual stage boost controller, and Im thinking aout turning it up some more. ;D

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

Nice job..videos?

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

lol. i wa :ys thinking the same thing

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

good ---- :y Now get a clutch in it and make some ripper vids!!!

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

Must feel like an SC'd d16 with shitty exhaust. When does the turbo spool by, 2200?

BTW I like the sticker on the windshield. But where's the vtec you claim? ;)

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

sticker doesnt claim vtec. it says REVTEC motorsports.

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

and why do you say it should feel like a scd16 with shitty exhaust?

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

chlorophyll...more like boreaphyll.

well the tranny fell off the car today. haha
well not literally. but basically. the hole housing around the diff is on the ground. planitary gear is on the ground. and the speedo sensor rolled out under the car. along with 2quarts of fluid... haha i love burnouts. but they cost. i wil have pics tomoorow will i pull this sob out

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

where are you from in ohio?

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

What I meant by 'SC w/shitty exhaust' was: almost instant boost, but with a restrictive exhaust. SC'd cars are basicly NA setups past the head (low restriction), while a small turbo creates lots of restriction. Believe me, it was meant as a compliment :D

Too bad about the tranny. Si trannies are hard to come by around here, at least with the synchros intact. You could probably part it out to some of the tranny guys and help pay for a different tranny. I know I'd be up for 2nd and 3rd if they didn't grind ;)

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

i loved this tranny. it was mint. 118k. not a grind what so ever. i got a 5sp dx that will be going in today

this is the new setup... built z6 with eagle rods srp 8.8's and arp's 16g

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

i also had another thread about how i bought this built motor brand new everything for 400 bucks. new oem oil pump. new oem water pump. new timing belt/gasket kit and arp head studs with eagle rods and srp pistons and acl main and rod bearings.

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

this is also the first motor i have ever built. and i started it tonight and it was a great feelings. no cel's no knocking.

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

someone media-blasted that cyl head. Hope they cleaned it till they thought it was 100% clean and then cleaned it twice more. That stuff gets everywhere, and it's hard to remove.

Anyway, the new setup should be awesome. What turbo will you be using with that block?

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

im using a evo 16g... hopefully getting a t3 or something soon

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

Those 16g td05's aren't that bad at all , using one now on my ZC and it holds very solid.
But go hard on the t3 8)

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

how much power can i make with this turbo? i want 300.

man i want to drive this thing. this is my daily. and it has been apart for 2 weeks. i hate bumming rides to work and school

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

Regular plain jane 16g? I think even the small ones are good to 300.

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

if i can get 300 hp with this i would be so happy. i love the fact i am using my downpipe and same manifold i had on my t25.

im still working on makin my charge pipe from turbo to the ic. its ridiculous bends. i may have to throw in a pie cut.

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

Nice project!

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

Yeh pretty shure that 16g can make you reach 300hp , with a good tune off course 8)

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

yea. i know i need a good tune. but cant find anyone to really tune TE in NE ohio

Re: my HMT setup....1991 civic hatch
 

what part in Ohio you from again??? im in Cbus (im still learning to tune) but i know of a few people in Cinnci and Clevland that tune for good prices if your close to them... also Blunder is in Cinnci...
