my summer project (with pics)
 

after driving my friends buick grand national and another friends turbo crx, i decided that my civic was way too ------- slow. so, i set out to turbocharge it. here are some pics

...some of them are pretty shitty, but oh well.

here is the car after i removed all the a/c components and tried fitting up the turbo. looks like it should fit

i had to reweld the inlet so it faced a more friendly direction

here's a pic of my upper charge pipe, before painting it

and after painting (stupid ------- bright sun...)

a picture of my lower charge pipe. it was originally all one peice, but i got one of the peices a little off during welding, so i had to chop it to allow some flex.

the other part of lower chargepipe and my ghetto-rigged airfilter.

a somewhat vauge shot of the downpipe. im currently not running a cat, and i have a pretty long peice of flexpipe joining this to my 2.25" thermal. its a little loud, but it sounds nice.

here you can see the intercooler peeking through my bumper... i think i need to cut some stuff so it'll get more air

finally, here's a really crappy pic of the gauges.
http://netfiles.uiuc.edu/mdharris/www/gauges.jpg

the details are this:
d16z6 in a '93 si
T25 from a 2G dsm (using a 1G O2 housing)
SMIC, BOV, and 450s from a 1G dsm
BMC adaptor plate
stealthmode oil lines
p28 running uberdata


so thats what i did with my credit cards and time this past month. in a week or two ill hopefully be able to afford a wideband so i can start datalogging. for all the hardware ive spent about $7-800. not in that is the $200 i spent of my laptop, and a coming $300 for a PLX.

props obviously to hmt, stealthmode, and BMC. would have been pretty much impossible to do in a month if it werent for this site :-*

Digging the SMIC, good work man.

OMFG, what kind of image host are you using? I get a different security pop-up for every image on this page. >:( WTF?!

Re:my summer project (with pics)
 

I figure my computer is way smarter than me so I should let it tell me what to do and what not to do. ;)

Hey Doc. Do yourself a favor and check that little box that
says not to show that warning. All that warning indicates is that you're connecting to a secure webpage which will also be apparent by the little lock in the status bar. It's not a security risk since you're running IE, which is a giant security risk anyway ;)

That's a nice custom HMT setup you've got there. It's very close to what I'll have in a couple weeks as soon as I can get some stuff welded up.

Re:my summer project (with pics)
 

Yea i dont know!! I havent been in a t25 turbo car, i plan on using one, but im debating on selling it and getting a 14B?? :-\ I want to make around 180 hp so i hope it can take it?
