Yes, you heard right. A t-25 turbo in an EF hatch with...get this....an HF manifold. Im really breaking some new ground here.

ok, so maybe its been done before, but its a super-low buget project. Work has been a ----- lately so I have had very little free time to work on it. So far, i've got the turbo clocked and mounted (had to make some home-made snap-ring pliers. Harbor freight shipping is slow as *****. It's got a fresh MPFI swap on it (havent even driven on it), cleaned and balanced 450's and Turboedit (Xenocron kicks ***!) I still gotta figure out my CAS problem (no big), do the oil return and then do the FMIC plumbing and exhaust. Just thought i'd share.

 

Looks nice mang

Nice work!

I almost bought one of those DSM T25s a few years ago to put on my d-series... but I never did.

Sounds like a nice fun budget setup.

 

the whole oil return is being a major pain in the ***. Almost got it going. Had all my power tools, welder and ---- outside and out of nowhere it starts pouring. blar!

Just realized the DP I had is meant for having the turbine on the driver side, so imma have to get one fabbed up.

 

nice..whered you get ur oil lines at?

 

TunerToys. Its good quality stuff. The only thing I'm a tad apprehensive about is the fit on the return fittings. Not very snug, but I guess thats what clamps are for. I prefer a nicer 'bite' on the barbed fittings.

 

nice, i likes!! that t-25 is so cute!!! Ahhhh

 

Ain't it tho!

It'll be my first experience with having a small turbo. Looking forwards to a fast spool. I got lucky. It seems to be in excellent shape. Kind of a bitch about the DP tho but I'll be ordering a flange today and gonna have it run 2 pipes (down pipe and separate dump tube).

Maybe I'll do something silly like have the dump tube come out the fender or something. LOL...or maybe not
