Re: my turbo b16 civic

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

nice shroom on the manifold :6 Try some cheap exhaust wrap, should help keep things a bit cooler..vids needed

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

love it (paint jobs sick O0)

+1 vids

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

yeah, i'll be trying that tomorrow. hopefully that solves it considering my radiator is practically resting on the downpipe

ill get some vids once i turn the boost up, its at 6lbs running off the wastegate spring. im trying to make a boost controller but cant find a ballbearing for it anywhere

What was your total cost?

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

Total cost is your moms donation of her overated and LAIBIA excessed lipes for dontaion to the nearest meat locker of SIGMA PI fraternity

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

what the ---- are you talking about?

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

Your moms cost for you being ALIVE noob ^-^

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

$2500ish

i over paid a little for the car itself which i bought for $1900 with the b16 and about $600 for boosting it... most everything on it is just parts i had laying around from other cars

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

1900 seems like a little much :-\

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

yeah, but it was also in better condition when i bought it and id been looking for a ef/ed hatch for awhile and jumped on it when i found one

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

well i think i hurt my rings tonight.
smoke pouring out of the valve cover breather and overheated a good 5 times in a row
wasnt even beating on it :-\

forged internals coming soon i geuss..

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

if i spent 2500 on that id kill my self

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

little update, i tore my engine down a few months ago and found all of my ring lands cracked so i bought some srp pistons and eagles rods. been running good for a few thousand miles so far

also cut my bumper a few months ago because i was over heating and was doing everything i could to get more air into the bay

my hood latch cable also stretched like crazy so i threw on some hood pins because it was cheaper

then redid my charge piping because i was using an old intake before and the clamps kept crushing it

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

I like that bodywork :y

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

ditto. Nice work newb

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

isn't there any better way to set up that radiator?? car loooks good otherwise. I love that little area you cut out for the radiator to see more air.
Good luck finishin up the rust patch. You're doing damn good if u ask me.....but im a :1

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

not uness you get a traction bar to fit it. it is too tall with factory crossmember

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

this is the second b16 halfrad setup ive seen overheat from airflow to rad situations. pop the hoodlatch and it went away sorta thing

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

thanks

all my overheating was before i rebuilt the motor so theres a good chance that it wouldnt be doing it in its current state

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

Hey, I noticed you have your the rear of your hood washered up. (or atleast it looks like it in the picture) This could be whats causing the over heating. This is actually a high pressure area, as air becomes detached from the hood and then goes over a small bubble hear before re attaching to the windshield. I would personally recomend sealing the area between the radiator and front of car, otherwise the air can (and will) just bypass the radiator.

Other than that, nice setup you got there. I've got to rebuild my spare B-16, and put the turbo back on, is lonely with out boost.

Re: my turbo b16 civic
 

aluminum radiator with a push fan... are you running a fan?

Re: my turbo b16 civic
