first off my setup: 91 civic hatch std
1st gen b16a,hcp mounts and shift linkage
revhard cast mani & downpipe 2.5"
custom oil and coolent lines,oil return is steel braided
tial 38mm wastegate 4.xx psi spring (like .3 bar)
cca frontmount ic w/ 2.5" charge pipes
t3 48/60 turbo,0 miles/bmc dp falange
vortec fmu 12:1 disk
1st gen dsm bov
walbo 255 in the tank

now for the suspension: new energy suspenion bushings in front
new upper and lower balljoints
ingalls camber kit
dropped 1.75" on neuspeed springs(part causing my problem)

ok the car is so stinking low with 13" wheels and the springs.my dp is like 2" from the ground(not good i already put i nice ding in it). the downpipe is tucked about as close to the block as i can get it (hitting oil return). so im thinking anout my only options are to get a spring with less of a drop, along with some 14"wheels.
so my question would be: how close is ur dp to the ground and do u have any kind of a drop goin on.

...all in all everything whent pritty good just took for ever to do everything .i still need to turn down the pressure going to the turbo(turbo smoking a little),and get my o2 sensors hooked up(need o2 bungs). i had to move the car today to wield my dp and it has hardly no power.. hoping it is from the o2 sensors not being hooked up(and no i didnt run it hard).now that ur mad this was so long give my some input please thanks!!

Mine sits pretty low too.I made shure I welded it as far away from the oil pan as the stok one.I have a 1.75" drop and I havent nailed it yet.

maybe those springs are more than a 1.75 drop.they where on the car when i got it. and i was told that they where like 1.75. im just hoping if i get 14"wheels along with like a 1"drop it will give me more room. man i wish i could post a pick my dp is low!!

well how close is it to the oil pan?It should be like an inch and a 1/2 or so away.

i wish it was only about a 1/2" away....its more like it sticks down below it a 1/2". ive got it up about as high is a can get it,b/c of the oil return.the oil return has to like run along the oil pan b/c the compresor is on the pass. side.everything is really tight with a b series turbo in an ef. maybe i sohould just get stock springs.the wieght of the motor and turbo should give me a little drop. i just dont want that wishy wash feeling,but i would rather have that than smothing inpotant cracked or broke.

well i took about 3/4" out of my dp so now it tucks up higher(had room to move it that i thought i didnt).so that problem is fixed. now the next thing,i put both my o2 sensors in & on jack stands the car runs really good. but once i put it down and try to drive it the car feels like im towing a boat when i try to move.i know about turbo lag but it cant be this bad can it?its just really sluggish like it dosent want to move. any help any would be apriciated. thanks

ok after driving it today i am under the impression that iam running really rich. so rich i dont think the car is making power(is this possible?).and my wg is set at 4 psi but im only seeing almost 3 on the gauge.i re-tightened everything so i dont think i have a boost leak.oh btw i used like a half a tank of gas running it hard like for 20 mi(this was about 7 2-3 mi trips from my house).any input is apreciated. i forgot to mintion that i pulled out the dipstick and it smelled like gas really bad
