pics of my new turbo project!
well as some of you know i purchased a 88 Civic LX 4dr...its slow as ---- even with the MPFI swap (Z6 intake manifold and LS throttle body, 450cc injectors...turboedit2.0 ). so this [and every?] car needs a turbo bad.
i also happened to pick up a D16Z6 SOHC VTEC motor for great deal so i will be throwing that in too along with a ACT XTSS i scored 'slightly' used (also a good deal) a 91 tranny and flywheel so match the clutch (88 trannies are different, and grinds 3rd slightly)...
and the other day i picked up a new welder so this project is on a roll!
the victom...
my manifold...i stole this from my buddy that put his header (that we took off his car when we turboed it, he has 2 EF's and a CRX) on his wifes Std. HB
whats an adapter plate? :P me + welder = maybe not such a good idea
nice pic of the D16Z6 with the turbo/manifold mounted into position
yes as you may have noticed the turbo is not sitting parellel with the block...why you ask? the big *** comressor and the wastegate wont clear the block unless i did this and i still fucked up, notice the WG isnt mounted but i will be modifing the WG mounting so it slides in towards the turbo a hair more and it will clear, i hope
oh and my ACT clutch too...they always seem to take the punishment i give them
anyway as you can see im not completely finished, but i will be keeping you updated...
oh and here is the setup as it sits at the moment:
88 Civic 4dr
94 D16Z6
custom HF manifold
Garrett T3 turbo 60/63
2.5inch downpipe (kinda)
1st gen DSM BOV
450cc injectors
TURBOEDIT 2.0 (engine management, PS9 ECU)
ACT XTSS clutch
91 LX/DX tranny and flywheel
LS throttle body

Re:pics of my new turbo project!
well i have all the hard parts i think, all i really need to do is finish the downpipe and get a big *** resinator for the exhaust (not really going to run an exhaust), oh i need to do the timing belt and water pump and get an engine hoist... oh some TE2 VTEC/boost code would be nice, dont think they are finished with that...also fighting back the idea of just putting the turbo on the D15 first...

Nice project. I recently aquired a new sedan myself. It's an Accord though. It WILL NOT be getting a turbo or any special treatment. I'm fixing it and it's gone.
I would have rather had the Civic sedan.
