Its Alive!
OK well after my Horrible SF System that SF sent my buddy was able to get all the kinks out of that system. I bought a Holley Electric Fuel Pump today and he installed it and hooked all my piping back up and guess what. Open Turbo on jack stands under a load i made 4psi at 4000 RPM. Took it out on the road in front of his house and i could feel the pull. Its wayyy too late to get on it a little more. I have to get some octane booster and wait til tomorrow. I am BOOSTED! After 2 months of it being down. and not driving for 1 1/2 months

Rep Power: 0 Yeah it took a long time, it would have taken even longer if it wasnt for my friend/installer....on a side note, he mounted my Boost controller to a hot place so i would not touch it so I would think twice about cranking up the boost.

Rep Power: 0 Not much to see but here it is, the downpipe isnt in in these pictures, as it needs some reworking. He is also going to clean up some of the wiring and stuff.

Rep Power: 0 Sup everyone, I am actually the guy who did the installing, etc. Just thought Iw ould register over here cause it seems like alot of you have questions i can probably answer about stuff. I have been just answering them from ImportRacers name, but I dont want you guys thinkin he is a plethora of information. But I am glad you guys like the car, it iwll get better hear shortly, when I redo the piping on the passanger side, and get the piping powdercoated, etc. I will try to get some video of this beast online in the next week or so. by the way, I dont actually have a 7th Gen civic, but rather an 85 Corolla GT-S (AE86)

Rep Power: 0 I like how the intercooler piping is done. What did you have to do in order to make room for the driver side piping? This is the first 7thgen I have seen with it like this..and I think it looks like a normal intercooler should

Rep Power: 0 Removed the AC, and cut the bracket that held the AC compressor. The turbos compressor housing is is pointing down, there is a 90 degree bend off that, that then heads to the drivers side, before that 180 degree U bend brings it into the intercooler. If you dont have AC this will be a snap. Dont hope you can do it with AC Though.

Rep Power: 0 Yes everything was retained but the AC, I am sure if I wanted to spend a TON of more time I could have saved the AC, but I was stuck with a certain turbo and certain manifold. Soooo I was limited as to where things could go. I will look into it more as I am considering building turbo kits for these civics. Its a big maybe at this point

Rep Power: 0 He should seriously think about fabricating kits for our cars. There isnt much support for the D17's, and alot of people are looking into turbo kits for our cars. Dezod's kit is going to be released soon and I think it would be awesome if Shawn or someone like him made another kit for our cars.

Rep Power: 0 Took it out on the road right by Vinyl Playa04 house. I hit 7psi and it pulled even at open turbo no downpipe or any exhaust piping. I will post this video that they shot soon. My NX kit will be here at around 3. Vinyl playa is going to finish wiring my ALcohol Injection for me and melt the bottle a tad to make it fit.
congrats bro. im sure it's gonna run pretty nice once everything gets done. Too bad i don;t have the ***** to give up my ac. Down here in FL you have to either be hardcore to do that, or have another car as your daily driver.do you notice a diff. in spool up time from before when you had that 180 bend?
