Damn! That looks really good! Good job, man! I should be done shortly. Hope mine turns out looking as good as yours!

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

that's a pretty friggin clever way of mounting the IC! Good idea!

btw.. got more pics of that car??? bust em out!

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

wow man, that does look really good/clean. i love the i.c. idea and nice charge pipes too. good job!

Re:sohc turbo pic

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

I'm loving it, the intercooler and the easy, or easier charge pipes, looks great. Paint the charge pipes a stealthy flat plat, and I think it would look even better.

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

yea, i still need to paint them, and wrap them. the one kinda rests on the upper rad hose, so i want to wrap that ----.

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

Lookin good. I'm going to run with everyone else to say that ic idea looks great. Your car looks good as is in my opion. Keep up the good work. :)

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

Real nice...
How much mu-la do you have in the turbo set-up

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

yeh
looks real good for a home made setup
doesn't that pipe over th mani get real hot thou?

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

damn you got me thinking of way to improve on that Intercooler mounting place thing. Like opening holes on the bumper to get more air into it, or creating some type of scoop from that will direct air from the opening in the bumper to right in front of the intercooler. I can't work now, Got to think. Might be easier for my next HMT project, a total sleeper.

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

its not too bad, but summit has that reflective pipe sleeve ----, thats good for 2000 deg, i will be wraping all the pipes in that after they get painted.

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

nice clean setup

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

Holy ---- that looks nice. At first I thought you were running no intercooler, but then I saw that nice custom mount job. Looks good. :) ::thumbs up::

How do you like your 4.9 Final?

btw, you jacked my rims! ;)

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

The mounting of the intercooler is not practical. The exhaust hsg. is close enough to it that it may heat up the intake charge. it's a smooth sleeper tho......

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

damn you guys and your 1/2 radiator!!!!! my 91 si, my IC is where my battery used to go and that ---- is a mutha ------ heat sink beeaaatttcchh!!!!! i touched that ---- after 15 mins of driving and it was pretty damn warm... i need my FMIC in bad!!!

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

1 more thing, get a filter instead of a screen!!!!!!

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

damn thats fuckein clean. love the way u mounted the ic. and the ic piping is fucken beautiful dude. good ----. much props

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

Looks really good.Nice job on the charge pipes.

Id be woried of the intercooler soaking up all the heat in traffic though :-\

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

clean as ---- and P.I.M.P

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

thats a creative way to run your piping, good job

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

I didn't even notice the jeff rims, they look alot different on a 5th gen hatch then they do on a crx.

that ic might be doing more harm than good, it's creative as ---- as far as the mounting, but it's probably just soaking up heat and giving it to your intake air.

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

That is very impressive. Did you tig weld your cahrge pipes?

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

ok, lets answer questions and gripes (sp)

the ic stays really cool, it is sitting right infront of the bumper grill. i have been ---- about it, checking after making some pulls and after driving in traffic.

the upper ic pipe does get warm, not hot, but warm... i dont like that. so when it gets painted this weekend i will be wraping it with this:

http://sohchonda.com/ipw-web/gallery...-Bish/wrap.jpg

and at some point i am sure i will get off my lazy ass and make a heat shield.

yes, everything is tig welded.

and yes, i :heart: my 4.9 fd

and as for what its cost me and whats put into it, i will copy and paste what i posted on sohchonda.com

the manifold is schedule 40 i think 1.5". its 6 90deg bends, and the flanges came from a guy on homemadeturbo.com. total cost was like 60 dollars, and my friend welded it up for 30 beans and a case of beer (that i drank most of) :)

the turbo is a t25 off a 2nd gen dsm (only had 30k on it), i picked it up for 100 dollars from a guy on a local forum that i auto-x with.
i picked up a turbo gasket kit from napa for 25 dollars.

the downpipe is 2.5" and the flanges and gaskets are from:
http://www.roadraceengineering.com/f...andgaskets.htm
i think i paid 25 dollars for all of them. again, my friend welded it up, he had the mandrel bends laying around. i gave him 60 dollars.

ok, that brings us to the charge pipe, ic and bov.

the charge pipe is 2 90's, 1 180, and 1 45. i actually bought a lot more than that, including some straight pipe (incase i need more later).
total cost for the pieces used, was 60 dollars (if not less) that can be picked up at summitracing.com
the ic was off a 1st gen DSM, i paid 40 dollars shipped for it. i picked it up off dsmtrader.com.
and then the shitty BOV is a Monza, i got it off eghey, and i paid like 45 dollars for it.

the couplers are from the same plumbing supply place and the pipes for the manifold (my friend is the warehouse manager) so they only cost me 5 bucks.

the oil lines and adaptor are from stealthmode and tunertoys (homemadeturbo.com). i think he is charging about 90 shipped for the kit now.

then the 450 blue tops were 50 shipped, and the rat shack 10ohm 10W resistors were 5 beans.

chipping the ecu.. free :)

misc fittings, vacuum t's and ---- was like 20 dollars.

i paid 35 for the boost gauge, and 20 for the gauge pod

then i tossed my friend 75 dollars for letting me use his shop, and tig welder.

so, lets do the math
total cost to me was 745 dollars

anywho, thanks for the comments, and :thumbs up: to this site, the admins, the sponcers, and everyone on it. i would still be slow if it wasnt for this place. :)

homemadeturbo.com... it changed my life
i was a geek, a loser, a nobody. but then i found HMT.com
my life was transformed, my face cleared up, my dick got huge, and my car got fast.

if it helped me, i am sure it can help you.

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

hahahaha ;D Hotrex had a similar story but his dick got small :(

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

actually my car got fast, i got a hot girlfriend , my muscles are huge, and my nuts got small

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

looks real clean man. nice set-up with the ic ;)
diggin it. got any numbers with the new setup?

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

Rip that pulley off right now! I hope it's not too late. It'll ---- your ---- up.

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

thats the best looking sohc "hmt" setup I saw in a while, good work!

Re:sohc turbo pic
 

its way too late. when i bought the car 2 years ago, it was already on there. the new motor that is going in this summer wont have that pulley on it.
