Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

So this car has had many engines and transformations, if u wanna see complete details on previous history feel free to head on over to my thread on my website.

http://www.sufi.cc/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=7

But the main progress updates are this.

I've had my B18 in for a while, now previously this year I had a boosted D16A6 although it was quite nice, it was not a good base and I wanted more. I purchsed my b18 swap for quite cheap, engine was out of a rear ender, with only 118,000kms on it. So now I decided to boost it.

Kit is as follows:

T3/T4 Turbonectics turbo
Tial wastegate @ 8psi
Spoolin performance log manifold
Big ebay IC
Custom AEM cold side charge piping
Caravan BOV
AEM wideband

Here are some pics :D

Nice rug, are you doing this in the living room of your trailer?

If so, props.

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

Yes, i cut a whole in the side of my trailer and drove it in, i find it a nicer enviroment

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

Awesome, good work.

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

Gotta get another 2 inch U bend and ill be set, threw in the halfrad and crap today, gotta redo the intercooler mounts, they are just half ass put on for now. went and got all the bolts and such for that.

Intercooler is sagging on the right as the mount isnt on all the way yet. Im gonna line it up striaght, then slap on my lip and it should be nice and covered.

PICS!

cool setup but this is HMT paint that VC and Charge pipes flat black and Post some porn ;)

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

Thats my spare VC, I have another one thats not on the car right now. Charge pipes will be done all black. I have to have SOME HMT to it.. although my last setup was much more HMT then this one is :(

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

Latest updates, grabbed all my couplers, solved my wg issue, ran most of the charge piping.

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

nice setup, what ic is that ?? whate are your power goals ??

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

Some ebay intercooler... friend bought one, they sent him one with a bar missing in it, so he got another for free and i got the new good one for cheapo :D

Power goals? Well its stock b18, so right now im aiming for 200-220ish to the wheels on about 8-10psi.

I have a spare block I am building as well.

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

Interesting approach with the dual inlet intecooler might work pretty slick.Gotta love boosting EF's with cramped engine bays O0

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

Yeah i wasnt going to at first, but this looks like it will work out very well... the charge pipes will be quite simple, my only issue is the ic is 3 inches thick.. bumper doesnt like it much.

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

thats all??

i have 2 friends running on bone stock LS motors that make atleast around 300whp daily driven. both have hmt setups running BRE. im in the process of doing the same setup on MY hatch too.

one of them dynoed 350whp/320tq on 20psi and runs a consistant 11.5 in 1/4.


btw......im diggin the zipties (i mean "safety straps") on the bov

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

LOL! there is a reason for those.... see.. I was too lazy to find a flange, and i had an aem intake, so i slapped in a caravan bov, and just for safety put on zip ties.

Anyway it runs, overheated due to a broken rad so ill fix it today. here is some finished pics.

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

y white O0?? just wondering. odd choice i think.

unique.....intercooler setup :y

just go get a 1g dsm bov and get the flange welded on. they're cheap

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

its actually more silver then anything. It was either silver, black, or rust. Black i dunno looks ok but meh i wanted something different. I have a 1gen dsm bov waiting on a flange. I have a huge exhaust leak at the head to manifold, so im waiting to get a gasket to fix that. its causing it to overheat. ( its basically a exhaust leak aimed at my rad. )

But it runs good now, tuned the idle well enough it hovers around 14's

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

Its runnig but im having overheating issues now... i had a normal half rad in, threw in a dual core and it still overheats when im going slow, or idling... albeit it is pretty damn hot here... anyone else have issues with b18 in this heat with a half rad?

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

Well it's obviously due to that huge silvery thingy blocking the radiator :1

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

the only two things i can think of is the radiator cap, or the mix isnt 50/50. ive been having the same issues with my car. the mix was too watery an building up too much pressure, overflowing the reservoir and then evaporating.

then again, i dont know much about cooling systems

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

Well when im cruising its fine, as soon as I slow down, or stop, it overheats. I made my fan run all the time as well. I'm going to try and fit my full rad in today. With everything as it is, it looks like it will fit.

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

im about to do my turbo setup i got a b18 but on a newer integra 96...hopefully i dont run into this overheating issue...have you figured yours out yet

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

why are you bringing up threads from the dead

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

Because he's a dumbass.

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

wonder who is the bigger dumbass cause it took me 3 posts from the top to figure out it was from over a year ago

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
 

dud i did the same ----

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo

Re: Project : 89 CX hatch B18A1 Turbo
