you got raped on all accounts, financially, product wise and engine wise

Re: My setup. Turbo lasted 70kms. Lesson learned! (Lots of Pictures)
 

financially, yeah. I'll blame it on the learning curve, i would def do somethings differently now.

Whats wrong with the engine? I know you guys are all about the d's. but still it was $600!

The original b18a got hungry and ate a bearing. So that was no good.

This project have potential. Throw a better turbo and everything will be fine.

Integra for the win!

I was tempted to use one of those ching chongs a year or two ago untill i saw all the horror stories..cheaper to get a holset in the first place.

I think it would have just got stuck in the intercooler, but still it could have been worse.

It seems really hit or miss. If you are going to go cdm retorque everything.

Sucks about the turbo!

Your vac line on the BOV looks kinked.

i personally prefer JY turbos...especially from wrecked cars :)

i put a JY Volvo TD04HL-15G on my buddies tercel & it works great...he just can't keep transmissions in it now

Re: My setup. Turbo lasted 70kms. Lesson learned!
 

Yeah speaking of which, i'm trying to find a fitting for a boost line to the bottom of the BOV, but everywhere i go they all say its too small.

Any ideas?

It would be the lower nipple in this picture, i'm not sure what size the treads are.
