doesnt look too bad, except for the placement of the IC

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

I like the ghettoness of it but that intercooler isn't doing ---- unless air is getting to it.

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

yea... i know... i was gonna put a fan over it, but then i was like... who gives a ----? someone's coming to buy the car this weekend...

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

True most cars have radiators under there somewhere.

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)

RENR... ur avatar is hillarious

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

Don't know what that was all about. ??? :P


That's not all that ghetto. Yeah, the parts are cheap, but it looks like you spent good quality workmanship in putting it together. Still the most ghetto of all setups was Danny's (jbwelder). He was hacking up is cross member with a grinder and had his oil pan off, shooting the sparks right into his rods/crank/girdle. We got there to help with the install and he was puzzled when we asked what he was using for "fuel management". lol. He said, "I didn't know I needed that" lol.

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

what ever happened to him? does he still post on this forum? The last (and first) time I saw him was the night before his car got stolen...

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

sorry man... 909 language... Translation: "You are cool. Your avatars are very funny."

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

You converted a 89 Si to MPFI? ??? I always thought they came with it. :P

Any pics of the car itself?

Ghetto fantabulous.

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

What, no hood scoop?

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

i was thinking the same thing
slap a roof scope on there ;)

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

Don't wanna post pics of the car... Last tuesday I came home and found it on the next street over with two guys chaining it up to a ford ranger... me and my boy chased them around town while I was on the phone with the police... after 20mins of not seeing any kinda po's (when usually I can't get away from them), one finally emerged out the shadows and got them... Kinda reminded me of jbwelder, how as soon as his car got turbo'd they stold it...

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

holy red X batman. i cant get this pic to work, however it is a pic of where u could mount that sidemount like me :) maybe hyperlink will work.. http://www.newbieforces.com/pictures...ntercooler.jpg

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

yea... i've seen a few mounted down there, but I don't see how that gets any air either unless u have a mugen kit or something... also, this turbo kit was built strictly for the purpose of me selling this car as a "Turbo CRX"... It cost me about $200 and took a good 2 days to put together...

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

i think hes too busy with his new rsx to even bother visiting hmt.lol.

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

doesnt look too ghetto to me =)

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

well... i just got back from driving it :'( ... jbweld didn't hold too well... the bov blew off the intercooler... and the turbo smokes at idle... but not while going... o well... I will probably just run it with no intercooler and use a little gay mx6 blow off valve I have...

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

Well, you didn't exactly do a MPFI conversion, just picking on you. ;)

I give you mad props man, good job, most people wouldnt do anyting like that, but its origional, one of a kind, even the IC placement ;)

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

It is doing something.Its soaking up all the heat created by the turbo :P.I hate those things.
Otherwise nice setup.

NEW SETUP
 

well... i ditched that gay ass intercooler, and threw on a blow off valve I had sitting around from a turbo mazda...

http://www.hondaswap.com/gallery/ima...30b7e15fa5.jpg

I like the setup better this way... I clocked the turbo now I'm boosting at 10psi (on stock injectors :o), so tomorrow I'll head down and get a carb spring...

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

Nice... and much better, Your customer isnt goinna mind that the turbo is smoking?

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

now thats ghetto :D
but dosent look too bad

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

10psi on stock injectors is good for like 2 days before you blow it up due to running VERY lean.

::)

you dont even have an FMU to raise fuel pressure... stock fuel pressure with stock injectors running boost code for 240cc injectors with uberdata? i didnt know there was boost code for stock injectors...

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

thats not ghetto at all. it looks really clean. i like how it goes on top like that. thats how mine is. haha. it looks good though

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

Yeah, I'm waiting for the updated "I blew my motor" thread. :-\

haha... nah... it stopped smoking for some reason (maybe because the turbo hadn't been used in a couple of years???). I get uptight boosting 10-11psi on my intercooled civic w/ 345cc injectors, no way I would run my car like that. As soon as I saw it was boosting at 10pounds, I parked it... I'm going to get a carb spring today. Even if I were using bigger injectors, I wouldn't boost 10psi due to the fact that there's no intercooler.

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

Finished setup:

http://www.hondaswap.com/gallery/ima...46e1d13894.jpg

put my $.99 carb spring in (interesting to say the least). Gonna test it tommorrow... hopefully I'll have a solid 6psi.

Re:One of the most Ghetto, Homemade Turbo Setups Ever (56K Warning)
 

man your setup isnt ghetto look at that turbo s10. that think is the definition of HMT kit
