progress so far on the turbo d15 project
 

ok, so ive got my car up on the racks this week as i drive the beater honda crv around trying to gather parts to finish up the turbo project. i've gotten most of it taken care of, what i have left to do is finish the charge piping, run oil and coolant lines, and wire up the new injectors. damn, makes it sound so easy when i put just those three things, but i've spent like $100 in couplers/adapters/connectors/etc. just little stuff u have to have to make it work. this thing is a bitch, but i think it'll totally be with it in the end. remains to be seen. anyway i know u guys love pictures so here ya go, my work so far:

haha, it won't be for long, i used 1400 degree paint on it, but i doubt it'll hold up with the heat the turbo puts out. i give it about 2-3 weeks b4 it's rust colored again.

got a lil bit finished today, mounted up the intercooler. check out the frontal view:

pretty bad ass i think, being able to see the compressor side of the turbo and the wastegate from the front. also- i know somebody's gonna jump on me for putting the intercooler there, since it's gonna get radiant heat off the hot side of the turbo, that's why i fabricated a heatshield to go over the exhaust housing.
