the red valve cover is gay but it was cheaper than the black one

I have extended the piping all the way to the TB and just need to weld it up. I will post more pics once im done with my setup.

My set up is going to be.
b16a in 88 rusted hatch civic
t3 60 trim turbo
shitbird short tubular manifold
CCA intercooler
Turboedit
DSM BOV
plan on boosting 8lbs

Re:Starting my HMT *pics*

"hi i have a car, and i want to get one of thoes things that spin and make a cool noise, can you come to my house and build it for me"


you might just be the coolest newbie ever. ;D

Re:Starting my HMT setup *pics*
 

Nice man...I need some mandrels like those

Re:Starting my HMT setup *pics*
 

I got those mandrels from "UBENDMAN" on ebay. I got 5 180 u's for $100 shipped. He charges $13 for each bend. He also will bend piping to you custom specs.

Im still gathering parts. So, The project wont be completly done for another 3-4 weeks.

Im going to do a write up when im done though. Maybe make my own site about it.

Re:Starting my HMT setup *pics*
 

holy crap, I didn't even notice that it was your first post. Well nonetheless welcome to the site ;D

I still think you should give me the stuff I mentioned :P

Re:Starting my HMT setup *pics*
 

i'm diggin the duct tape mockups, I'll have to try that versus throwing tack welds everywhere. ;)

welcome to the site, thanks for keeping us posted.. we need more writeups by detailed people.
