HomemadeTurbo - DIY Turbo Forum - My civic finally turboed :UPDATED:

i put this here just to get some feed back and show an hf manifold used with ac and power steering. i hope this is the right section to put this in

My setup:
D15B
TDO4 turbo from a VR4
HF manifold
HMT adaptor plate made by me
oil and coolant lines taken off of an airplane
down pipe and charge pipes made by me using cheap pep boys exhaust tubing(for now)
no intercooler(for now)
no name ebay BOV
DSM 450's w/ resistor box
Walbro 255
uberdata on a p28

i plan to get an intercooler soon and use a lot nicer mandrel bent charge pipes. this was just to get boosting and learning

it pulls pretty good on 5psi but there is some missing under boost. i have been massing with my fuel maps some, but w/o a wideband its tough. i only change is very small amounts to keep it safe. later today i am putting one step colder plugs on, NGK ZFR7F11. hopefully that helps

here are the pics, dont flame me too bad, i live in FL its hot enough. lol

here are some updates a year after the turbo install. i figured instead of making a new post i would just update this one and i left the old pics to see the difference. the car has also had a full repaint(by me) since the 1st pics. its still black though
i added an intercooler and some nice mandrel bend tubing in place of the shitty wrinkle bent ---- from autozone. i have a nice t3 that will be going in as soon as i get a new manifold, i want something nicer than the HF
some pics are a little blurry and all of the tubing is just tack welded fopr now. tomorrow i will be taking it to work and tig welding it. hopefully there wont be any JB weld on this setup. everything fits behind the stock bumper with only very minor trimming. you cant even tell its there with the bumper on.
