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.

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

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.
