It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood...a beautiful day for a turbo. ::)
Firstly, I'm giving a big shout and thank you to 89sipimpin for basically dropping his big knowledge and skill into my little sohc. I also must thank the incredible Justin for wiring my Safc II, Tony for helping mock up the pipes, Mel for snapping some great pics, and Juice! for coming through with the twinkies. Last but certainly not least I gotta thank Miracle Marty for all the random miracles he pulled off during the install and Marty's dad for the custom baller "Turtle Power" charge pipe, I love that thing! :y Ok, now, the moment you've been waiting for...Pictures! This is stock minus a heat sheild Attachment 32246 That AC has got to be brutally murdered Attachment 32247 The AC won't go without a fight Attachment 32248 Got It! Attachment 32249 Where's my bumper? Attachment 32250 There it is! Attachment 32251 More space to work in Attachment 32252 Gettin my turbo on Attachment 32253 Nonvtec sent me his buggy intercooler :P Attachment 32254 A "clean sweep" ::) Attachment 32255 Now the intercooler is clean enough to make love to...doggystyle! Attachment 32256 Trying to figure out how the ---- we're gonna run those pipes Attachment 32257 At around 2am we realized that the best way to go would be to run a straight pipe from the throttle to the dsm bov connector. Pep boys isn't open at 2am so we had to throw all the stock ---- back on so I could go home and come back the next day to finish. :'( ____________________ Day2 Tapping the oil pan Attachment 32258 Prepping for the JB weld ;D Attachment 32259 Preheating the oven for the oil pan Attachment 32260 Using tinfoil on a baking sheet because we all know, a clean oven is a happy oven. Attachment 32261 Attachment 32262 Remember kids...use those mother ------' oven mits! Attachment 32263 Let bake until golden brown Attachment 32264 Whats this? Attachment 32265 Oh, wiring the 10watt10ohm resistors Attachment 32266 Wiring the SafcII inside the car Attachment 32267 The "Miracle Marty" welds Attachment 32268 Brandon is under the car welding, notice the intense light coming out of the engine bay Attachment 32269 Apparantly Justing is usually lazy, but not tonight as he runs the boost gauge hose Attachment 32270 Forget mugen, forget spoon, and forget garrett....we got TWINKIE POWER BABY!!! Attachment 32271 Twinkie baller shot! Attachment 32272 There you have it. Attachment 32273 The custom designed "Turtle Power" logo, complements of Marty's dad Attachment 32274 Attachment 32275 Attachment 32276 It didn't run right away because the o2 sensors weren't plugged in and the car was throwing a CEL, so it was limp mode until the next day when we plugged them in. She's running at 3psi right now because I still need help tuning the Safc to 8psi, the problem is when I hit the gas running 8psi at around 4k rpms the needle jumps to 6k then will go up to 8k if I keep on the gas so we had to unplug the boost controller to get it to run normal, anyone in the chicago area willing to help me tune my safc? or if you might have a solution please post it up! |

Re: Dan (TurtlePowerCivic) gets a turbo kit...*lots o' pics not56k safe*
Yep, it's the whole body kit, you can see the side skirt in the bigger pic with the three cars. Its a Kaminari kit, ---- was expensive when I got it four years ago.
Turtle Power means alotta things. First Turtle is my nickname. Second "Turtle Power" is kind of a catch phrase derived from the ninja turtles cartoon. Third Turtle Power is the way I describe the power my car puts out, sinisterCRX called that one, Auto 4 door what!?!? and Fourth, when I'm making love to a fine fine pretty lady I do it like a turtle, slow and steady. ;) :y |
