My junkyard kit is on its way, questions inside
 

Well I'm back after a short hiatus (almost went with a greddy kit, but I'm back). Here's my setup, which is going on a 97 civic ex coupe:

T25 from 2G eclipse
HF manifold
adapter plate
2.25" charge pipes
2G DSM SMIC
custom downpipe -> question on this below
1G DSM BOV
greddy SOHC blue box
Walbro 255lph HP fuel pump
stock injectors
NGK BKR6E's, gapped at .030"
No a/c (DAMN I'm gonna miss it)
Mobil 1 5W-30 SuperSyn oil
Boost and a/f gauges

Now the junkyard kit I bought was originally on a CRX. The guy told me that he had to make the downpipe so it didn't hit his crossmember. Now can I just bolt this downpipe to my car? Will it bolt up properly, or does it need to be extended/redone? Once again, this downpipe was made for a CRX, will it bolt up to a 97 EX without problems?

Another question, is the stock wastegate setting on a T25 8 psi? I thought it was, just needed clarification.

Finally, what are some things I should look out for or expect when installing the turbo kit? What tools do I need? What's the hardest part? etc.

TIA

You might want to invest in some injectors. 310cc or bigger

actually, I believe the wastegate on that one is set at 12psi, or at least that's what I read in HondaTuning....somebody correct me if I'm wrong...peaace

thats bad info.

If he is using a SOHC blue box. They use the original injectors. Change them would mean the blue box might not work as well. Thats if you want to stick with that fuel management. If you decided to do the afc hack then go for the 310's cause thats what I'm using and they seem to do the trick.

Well I've heard that the t-25 is aculated for 8 (or around that area) but the computer kicks in some more...some how. But hopfully I'm not ------ing bad info. As for the downpipe I'm thinking it might work, the cross member on 4Gs are huge so if it clears that it'll clear yours but I'd be more concerned about it bolting up to your exhaust system.

Just have a welder on hand and some spare pipe and you could add/remove any if needed.
