looks good bro!! ;) clean setup. what bov are you using, i cant see one in pics? also what turbo is that, T3? Let us know if the manifold starts to crack and ---- since it looks just like an OBX :-X

Re:pics of my setup :)
 
im just wondering which BOV to buy, i can't decide between the blitz dual drive one and the hks ssqv?

I got the manifold before i read about all the ---- reviews about them, it is a stone racing one from ssautochrome on ebay, im hoping that it doesnt crack, but if it does ill have to get another one! :'( i saw it and thought it looked good so bought one!

The Turbo is a oil cooled Volvo unit, i was lucky wen i picked it cos its got a tag on it that says it has been reconditioned in 2002! i only paid £40 ($65)!

Wow!Are my eyes fucked up or is that a 3 inch charge pipe?Nice looking setup though.

you know you can get that manifold braced and supported really good from lovefab.com he charges like 75 bucks to weld supports all over it :)

civicvtecb16a 10-21-2003 11:50 AM

Re:pics of my setup :)
 
yes that is a 3" charge pipe, im hoping that i don't get too much of a pressre drop from the intercooler because that piping looks soo cool in the engine bay!

---- me good progress dude!! :o. You have really got the whole project movin along now!!!

Just one thing though that Volvo turbo you are running, Isnt that gona be a bit small for a B16? Dont get me wrong here its gona spool ------ quick and lay the power down hard and fast, but the net result of that will be:-

---- loads of tyre smoke!!! And almost zero traction In any of the lower gears!! :o

Im just thinking that maybe your gona have far too much power low down in the rev range and then be running out of puff, just when the B16 is just getting into the upper part of its power band!!

Just a thought!! No doubt its gona be fun trying it out though!!

civicvtecb16a 10-22-2003 03:12 PM

Re:pics of my setup :)
 
the volvo turbo is from a 2.3l so i was thinking that the turbo would be fine to spool all the way through the revs range.

Johnyquest 10-22-2003 08:03 PM

Re:pics of my setup :)
 
it will spool and all but you better do somthing about the way that turbo's flange is. I had teh same turbo as you and it definatley does not bolt right up to a normal t3 flange. that circular counter-sunk hole must be ground down (take a mm or 2mm of material off) of the flange on the turbo or else all your boost is going to leak!!!

It is. :-X Maybe he will brace it and avoid the usual cracks and ----. :-\

Nice setup. Everything looks damn good. That front view looks killer. Have you posted this before? I remember that building in the background. I know I have seen that on this board before. ???
