Turbo project.....NOW with manifold pics
 

used to post on here alot last year when i was spraying but I sorta gave up on my car before winter and now decided to get back to it.
Just picked up some 15" black rota slips and some turbo parts and im going to see what I can run this year...hopefully better then last years 14.3@94

Just got started on the project last night...cut my aem intake apart to get the first charge pipe which fit really nice....now its going to be a pain to get threw the tiny hole behind the head light down to the wheel well......Im hopping to have this all done and tuned on next saturday so stay tuned.

keep up posted with process pics

good luck and have fun, keep us posted

is that the intake in the second pic???? lookin good i have a 05..... im gonna do alot durin the summer....

Its the first piece to the charge pipe and yes it was made from my aem sri

looking pretty good.

If you use 2.25" piping, you can get it through the hold behind the headlight pretty easily. Just use a coupler right in that spot, and run the pipe up to the hole on both sides. Then simply run the coupler through the hole.

Thats how i did it on my old setup, and it lasted. When i took the kit off 1.5 years later, the coupler wasnt even marked.

I ended up cutting the hole bigger and using a big 45 degree 2.5" coupler to get threw...I wanted to stay with the 2.5" charge pipes.

Do you have a pic of the LSD manifold.

subscribed...to see the out come....looks sweet so far!!

Werd, what he said!

I get it wed/thurs....ill be sure to get some pics up

it was 290 shipped for external gate log

i looked at your profile and did you ever end up getting that carbon fiber type r lip installed onto your car if you didnt were trying to get people so they could start production on one for use http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=254865

Do you have a link from the website you ordered from?

why are you going with 2.5" piping? Are you planning on a built motor?

or are you doing it just for looks?

I love the look of 2.5" piping. So either way, good job!

I had 2 front mount intakes i found locally for 10 bucks each so it was a hole bunch of cheap mandrel bent pipes....i know its a bit large...Should i be doing something alot smaller? I could do like crush bend pipes but Thats kind of boot leg.

and the funny thing is my first pipe in the pictures is a 2.75"...its so overkill but w/e it fit great.

Hmmm... sounds like someone I know. :rofl:

Times 2

www.lsdmotorsports.com..........just give them a call they have great cust service. he said he would advertise on here but he just is really busy and maybe at some point he will do it. Ill be sure to get pics of the mani when I get it.

dude, you did what i did.... sorta..

I went to the pomona auto swap meet (like 2 square miles of car parts!!!) and i bought 7 cold air intakes for $45. I made all my intercooler pipes out of that. All 2.5"

But no, dont worry about it. the 2.5" wont hurt you much. It will take a little longer to spool up, but i doubt you would even notice the difference.

lmao i bought 2 front mount intakes at 30 each...sold the couplers that came with them for 55 shipped because there were a mess of them, then got 2 more intakes for free from my buddies and I think ill have enough now.

so i got the slim line fan in today inplace of the stock ac fan and it came out pretty nice...ill get some pics up later

i wanted to do this to both my fans. I just never got around to doing it.

I ended up getting a 10" for like 45 shipped and its a 1450 cfm or something so it will be a little extra cooling when i need it...i can just turn on the ac and the fan will kick on. I mostly did it because I didnt liek how close the turbo was going to be and it was only 45 bucks.

thats exactly why i was going to do it. lol

how do you wire the fans so they come on by themselves like the stock ones do.

you wire them to the stock wire plugs so they work just like stock. They are smaller and flow more air, I've also replaced my fans with slimlines. Makes a world of difference when installing your turbo when dealing with space issues.

^^^ so tru, i installed som flexalight fans, they work great


did you get the log mani?

Hey SODJAZERO do you know what the part # was for the flexalite fans.

There are some pics of the fan in place and the one side of charge pipes with the 45 degree silicone piece i got today.

Nice piping set-up, I'm curious how your running the pipes on the passenger side.
