well after some dumb questions answered by you guys....... and a few ---- ups :1 nothing serious tho.... i finally got this biatch on 5 psi, my first impression on driving a turbo'ed car was :D ---- yes! :D it's much more diference than before torque was also improved on the low end a lil bit of course not much, but has some extra kick moving thru heavy traffic when cruising slowly at low rpms, once it gets to 4k feels much better even at part throttle, if i floor it the turbo starts screaming and well you know...lol >:D but anyways enough with the ---- talk and here's the ssautoshit setup wich surprisingly has been working with no problems at all. yup no cracks yet, i gotta make a trip to portland tomorrow morning and im taking it for some lil testing >:D


.........yup the infamous mani, you guys know all about these, so no comments here lol

****update in this mani****
for a post based on blaast (reputable turbo shop) in these forums and myself, we both agree that the main weak spot on this manifold is based on PROPER INSTALLATION, apparently ssauto is sending the wrong/misaligned downpipe for most d series applications mine's a 92-95 eg, the downpipe does not seem to align properly and even though you can still pull your exhaust forward and force it to make it fit THIS PUTS A LOT OF STRESS ON THE MANIFOLD the downpipe is not only a bit far from the stock exahust pipe but it's also horribly misaligned i had to bend mine to make it fit and still there's a bit of stress i would recommend to either get a flexpipe or just have a local muffler shop do it for you, if you have a welder get your lazy ass up and fabricate one :8

the t25 wich has survived all kinds of abuse including a kinked drain at idle after purging the line, in a few words oil started to come out of the inlet like a mofo, turbo still works great. ;), not to mention my wreckless wife not letting the turbo to cool down after a trip to the mall, now everybody wants to drive this car, they use to not get close to it...... :-* oh well, needs a turbo timer anyways badly.

50mm BOV not much to say about this, it's pretty audible for 5 psi, i would really like to have that ------- hks ssqv but the intercooler tops the list right now, running without it its ---- risky, like right now lol :1 , i aint planning in cranking the boost up until i get my hands on an intercooler and the 450's that im expecting to get tuned with it, anyways it's kinda cold here.. 50's at the most during the winter 30-40 average that kinda helps a bit. not to mention the car is not a daily driver.

yeah the welds are shitty looking but hey, a good old man and hell of a nice guy at a local shop thati didn't even know me hooked me up, i basically walked in with my old intake and told him that i needed that bend on a 2 inch pipe charged me 20 bucks to cut the pipe, bend it, make the hole in it and weld the flange, not bad at all, mainly when you dont have the tools to do it yourself, not to mention he did it the same day ;D

and finally the whole thing, did i mention i dont have an intercooler LOL :1 im using abs piping for the charge with home depo-performance silicon couplers and bends :8 they work well for 5psi who knows later at 8 lol. stock injectors, waiting on 450's wich should be here friday and picking up resistor box at local junkyard tomorrow. fuel and timing controlled by uberdata on a basemap by xenocron, i'm still looking for a cheap old laptop and a wideband sensor :-\

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

nice set up. good job on those homedepot couplers. those are HMT materila if ive ever seen any. :y :8

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

Looks like a solid start.I like the home depot racing couplers those are mint.Is that AC line or whatever i see going past the manifold not getting burnt?Boost is great welcome to the club and it will only get better from here as you have know completed the hard part.Oh put a filter on the turbo or atleast some screen.

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

Looks good man. Congrats now you're addicted. O0

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

hell yea, and dont baby that ---- pop your motor and buy mine. :6

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

im down for buying a decent d15b or d16z6 as soon as i found a good deal, i've been calling cali asking for prices and im looking to spend 550-600 for a jdm d15b shipped. unless i can snatch something cheaper elsewhere, and yeah the i left the ac line there cuz im a lazy ass the cables are still hanging in there lol :8 but who cares honestly i will take those out today as well wich is my only day off during the week, im also swaping the speedo for an ex/whatever one that has a tach in it at the local junkyard i really dont like the big-o rice tachs not to mention they cost well over 100 bx and also need a place to mount the bitch so more pics hopefully tonight.

replaced my spark plugs tonight with some denso platinums, the old plugs looked worn as hell they measured 2.0 mm wtf :3

perhaps it might even make a small diference after all not to mention fuel mileage

^^^whats that tube welded on the charge pipe?

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

You should NEVER run platinum spark plugs with boost, they can't handle the heat. Take them out and go get some copper plugs.

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

that charge piping will hold 10 PSI, i have the same ---- ;)

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

:1 here we go once again :1 i'll guess i'll just get the iridiums then, luckily made it flawlessly to portland and back, the suspected "fuel cut" i had at WOT it's gone with these plugs but i guess they wouldn't last very long :'( thanks for the heads up :P

oh and that small pipe on the metal intake pipe i told the guy to put it there and i dont know why :1 when i first saw it i was like wtf.....

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

Don't waste your money for iridiums, they are not worth it. Just get colder copper plugs.

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

Go to a local parts store or check our sponsors to see if anyone has the plugs. If they don't, try the link below. NGK shows $2.44 each but I'm not sure of the heat range.

www.ngk.com

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

today i walked into shcucks in hope to get those plugs and you should see the guy's face >>> ??? :S these guys didnt have a clue about cold plugs so i walked away without em :-\ even tho they mighta have them they didnt know what to do to help me, i couldn't go to napa i had a extremely busy day but those guys are usually pretty good at that, at least here lol, im expecting the same out of autozone so im not wasting my time on spark plugs for now.

today i got the 450's...... now i have to wait another week for another day off and get the resistor box >:( i cant do ---- without tuning them anyways, the laptop is on the way and im getting the usb cable off xenocron's tonight, i need to find out how to tune these boys to get them working decently until i can get my wideband, perhaps i can go with percentages...... ??? oh well research time again..

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

ok i believe that ZFR5F-11 is the stock NGK plug for your car. (i think it may be the same for all D's)
So if you want to change the heat, you have to change the number 5. The higher you go, the colder the plug gets (but that's for imports, i believe that plugs for domestics, the lower the number, the colder, but i'm not 100% sure).

So i'm running ZFR6F-11 plugs, hence, you should pick up a set ;)

Oh and make sure you gap them, they come set at .044 and you should gap them around .025-.030

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

looks like a boost leak to me

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

i dont know if you guys seen the old pics compared to the new ones, one of those pics has the rubber cap that i put in there i'm sure aint leaking boost, at least for now at only 5 psi i had a hard ass time getting that cap in there, shouldn't be any boost leak at all, gauge stays solid at 5psi at wot, im getting the plugs tonight thanks for the info :y, the laptop will arrive shortly before the 24th that seems like along ass wait >:(

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

NEVER? is that why almost every factory FI car runs Platinum plugs nowadays? ::)

I admit I dont run them either mainly because my motors dont even last as long as my plugs do. ha

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

I would never. My Integra had breakup at 12psi until I changed from platinum to copper.

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

run a BKR7E

thats the NGK part number for their copper plugs.

the stock number is #6097, i think

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

woot woot, i got the spark plugs online, shuck's and autozone officialy suck, none of the guys could help me so i had to order them online, thanks for the parts #'s :y i'm also working in transfering the pics over to putfile yahoo's traffic seems to be slammed for so many views ;D

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

just a thought......jan 2nd i got a ticket for speeding on I-5 like a total jerk, im a dumbass and deserve the 746 dlls ticket :1 issued by the lady cop, now i gotta face court and possible license suspension :'(

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

you say your going to portland to tune, where you from?

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

what size is your charge piping? 1 1/2 ???

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

damn, almost as bad as my ticket

i got one for $800 and some odd dollars and i was only goin like 80ish.. and a week or so before i got pulled at 140 by some older guy off of I-5 and he let me off with a warning..

how the ---- fast were you goin to possably loose your lisence??? most cops i met in portland are pretty cool... the one that bent me over on that ticket was goin towards tigard.. hate those pricks

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
 

I got the coolest cop in the world.
he pulled me over on the 404 doing 247
he was trying to catch up to me so i thought it was some one who wanted to race
so i slowed down, then noticed the roofline
he asked me for my ownership, insurance and pilots liscence
i had no id nothing
i told him i was on my way to my girlfriends house from this girls house and my girlfriend was calling non stop and it was like 4 in the morning.
he gave me one ticket for like 110 doller for no insurance card
hes awsome

Re: pics of my boosted poor little d15b7
