Default My latest setup: d16z6 turbo

A halffastmotorsports.com production !

Sup guys, ive been a member on here for many years and so i thought id share my latest setup. Without ALOT of knowledge ive learned through this site it would probably still be n/a after all these years lol.

quick specs:

91 civic dx
rebuilt d16z6 - acl bearings, npr rings & arp head studs
mpfi, obd0-obd1 conversion, vtec wiring etc.
rebuilt 91 crx si trans

garrett .42/.48 t3
drag cast t3 manifold
jrc intercooler (damn things are hard to find now!!)
hfms custom 2.5" downpipe
2.5" mandrel intercooler piping
knockoff tial bov
dsm blacktop 450s reman'd
function7 oil line kit

i actually went through a lot more trouble with this than my last setup which used a hf mani & bmc plate and alot of corner cutting. I actually modified the stock core support and moved my rad forward about 3/4" to clear the turbo because i couldnt make a EG rad fit for ---- without changing my crossmember, hence why there is only 1 bracket up top, but it is secure. the turbo is a garrett ta0301 off a mb diesel, but its a GREAT turbo. the wastegate isnt a flapper style but actually a valve style just like an external and has 0 creep issues. its dead on 7psi every time. its by far the best internally gated turbo ive ever seen.

anyway i could write for pages so if you have any questions or wanna tell me im an idiot thats cool.

You can find the complete spec list at http://www.halffastmotorsports.com

nice. How do you like that manifold compared to the HF?

I have the same clearance problem with that manifold and my t3 .42/.48 from "upgrading" my HF in my g1teg. Instead of trying to make ---- fit, I decided to try to make my own manifold.

I think this manifold is a 5x improvement over the HF. The inside diameter of the runners is much larger, all the runners collect very well. Plus its cast so you know it wont break and the price was right! MY biggest problem with the HF manifold was that hte turbo was hung so low and i had oil return problems. But those problems are gone with this mani.
