Re: finally boosted civic! WITH PICS!

so does the BOV close to the turbo actually makes it louder... or is there another difference?

I don't know if it makes it louder... but that turbo XS BoV sure sounds real LOUD.... it's nice to hear hehe!

For the oil return.... me and my friend actually argued about that before installing it... I said it had to be higher possible and he said it didn't mather (he has built many turbo setups in the past)
With the gravity, I think that logically the oil will go down the oil return hose and it won't go back to the turbo... so what's wrong with it? :-\

Re: finally boosted civic! WITH PICS!

the oil line IS to low no matter what your friend says ..... needs to be higher up on the pan ..

Re: finally boosted civic! WITH PICS!

that's a nice ass set up. the oil return does look pretty low. love the DP.

Re: finally boosted civic! WITH PICS!

if the pa has oil in it above the hole where you have for the return, gravity ain't gonna force more oil in, the oil is gonna go in the tube. why stay at more dense area when there is a spot for less density.

if its to low, the oil already in the pan wont let gravity play its role. it basically sits in the return line like when u put a straw in a drink n it fills to the level the drinks at inside the straw.. same concept. put it higher so its above the line in the pan or else you get oil backed up no matter what ur friend does for a living

Re: finally boosted civic! WITH PICS!

Very clean in and out. Not really my style with the copper and all, but nice none the less. The bay is VERY clean/nice. Very nice set-up. There's no "horn" on the RFL? My does, and some eGay knock-offs have 2 (mine is a knock off, but still). Good job!!! ;) ;D

he never said his was an RFL he said it was a XS BoV

Re: finally boosted civic! WITH PICS!

so now what do I do with that oil return?

get a new oil pan and start it over? or should I just cover that hole and move it up?

or just leave it like that? ???

Re: finally boosted civic! WITH PICS!

looks clean and oh yeah your missing a rim ;)
