I'm diggin' the copper, setup looks good.

Well you could always just run like 2 quarts of oil insted of fixing your pan.. that would probably solve the problem =)

I'd definatly just fix your oil pan. Cut off the fitting you have in there, then patch it with a small flat plate and weld over it. Then go to the highest point possible on the pan for your return.

Hmm I made that manifold to mount the turbo the other way but that fits nicely. Nice setup Justin. I would just get a new pan and start over.

Re: finally boosted civic! WITH PICS!
 

how is that upper pipe attached to the compressor housing? I dont see any bolts, I'm assuming its welded eh?

Re: finally boosted civic! WITH PICS!
 

I also noticed that you used a factory Saab exhaust housing as the compressor snout.

Is that what that is? Crazy. I woulda just bought the ford one off ebay (actually I did)

Re: finally boosted civic! WITH PICS!
 

it's actually a ford...

Re: finally boosted civic! WITH PICS!
 

Not the right one for that turbo

Re: finally boosted civic! WITH PICS!
 

actually... as a french Im not really sure what a ''snout'' is....
im assuming your talking about the 90degree pipe that I welded at the end of the turbo..... and it was a ford pipe....

was just the right size and fitted quite well actually :-\
