Finished today - car runs pretty good and MUCH faster On way back home from test drive, the oil presure gauge line "fell off" some how and we proceeded to dump about 3 qts of oil on the road - caught it in time. went home to get tools and fixed it. All seems to be well. Exhaust leaks here and there, but they'll be fixed.

D16Z6? did you do a full swap or retain stock (VX/CX?) tranny?

looks like a really cool setup but i dont see a BOV? (maybe im like blind as ---- though)

 

Thats a nice set up

 

Nice setup i got a question were did you get that fitting for the coolant on the turbo what size is it?

 

Yeah, it's a Z6 - it had the stock transmission. Can't remember if it was the cx or vx - whichever one has the stupid long gears. We just swapped that out though and put in the ex one I believe. Not sure, but it's much quicker and winds up quicker too

It's not on there yet. You'll see the circle on one of the pipes wehre we're going to mount it. It's a stock mitsubishi bov.

The coolant fitting is something he snagged from work. I'll have to remember to ask him. He works at Toyota, so they have a lot of odds and ends laying around.

 

ok cool when you find out hit me up thanks

 

i think they have the same ratios..yeah long gearing is no fun... (i have a CX)

cool stuff man

 

Looks pretty good man, but why put the intercooler there? you have tons of room to work with up front.

 

I'm sure we could have put the IC up front, but the way the end tanks are it would have made it pretty awkward. He wanted a completely stealth look as well.

 

you could have both stealth and performance, if you had a starion /tyrus/customcoach FMIC, by just painting it black....

it looks alot harder to build those pipes you have, and cutting the civic's body is a thing i wouldn't want to do to my car, overall i still very much like your setup...BOOST IT HOW EVER WAY YOU CAN !!!!!! .

but i would of choosen the black FMIC, than the SMIC.
