Yeah that is true funds are a bitch I know what you mean, its pretty gay cause recently some guy backed up into cause he hauled ass out of his parking spot to show off and ran right into me and my airbags went off so i have a steering wheel that is taped closed, but I want to get some Underglow, headers, turbocharger, the works, but I also dont want to be driving around with a taped up steering wheel and a new steering wheel with hub is like 250-300 is im lucky and thats for a cheap one........

*edit* In reference to abmerop's IC sizing comment...

no no no.... his turbo is actually perfect sized for that IC, the pics might make it look small but it is not small by any means... hector what is the flow capacity of the IC again? and like he said he's not planning on boosting that much daily, no need for a huge as IC unless he's planning on pushing close to 20 PSI and only using the car as race use, it would have soo much pressure drop and lag... anywayz, props to you hec even though your not my fav person right now, lol, i'm over it though, i wanna see if when it's done here in orlando :rockon:

XTREME2K2CIVIC 09-30-2004 09:07 AM

No prop Derk you know I'm just fkn with you always, don't like to see ya or anyone giving up on 7thgen that easy and don't like fronts ether.

But you are right I'll be boosting about 10psi daily till I get all the buggs worked out then I'll move to 12- 14.
I'm getting a boost controler to dial boost up when need it.
I drive my car every day and I just wanted to be reliable and ballsy

GLi4dr 10-26-2004 08:02 AM

any updates??

exturbo6 10-26-2004 08:45 AM

what kind of pistons and rods did you install? looking to do the same to my car in the spring.also P&P.and sleeve.not worried about the money..now im curious to find out if i can get a place in nj to fab. a intake manifold for me.

supermex 10-26-2004 02:18 PM

We have a new beautifull stainless equal lenght mani that just fabricated but because I want to keep the A/C intact I couldn't use it.
I'll need to contact Dynamic Speedlab and see how much they want for it.
But know that you'll have to remove the A/C compresor.

For more info on the internals, perst numbers, prices ,contacts got to the Turbo FAQ on top of this forum.

My car should be ready to dyno by the first week on November.

supermex 11-11-2004 04:01 PM

Well is the second week of november and the fabrication is complete.
Now the painfull task of tunning.
Here is some updated pictures of the project.

lots and its easy to spend when you have sponsorship :)

supermex 11-11-2004 07:27 PM

Sponsors will only give you good prices, they will sacrifice profit.
You'll still have to pay for most of it, and have to work for the sponsor to sell and promote thier product.(nothing is free)
Its taking me 2 years to do my cars performance.
How much?...... well let's say I have to work lot's of overtime.

Take in account that no sponsor will do anything on a stock car, you'll have to do lot's of work on it and lot's of PR to deserve it.

So it's not that easy.

thiscrackerntam 11-11-2004 07:30 PM

I believe it

tfnaaf 11-11-2004 08:54 PM

looking good!!

abmerop18 11-11-2004 08:58 PM

looks great man. that manifold is beautifuly :tup:

just a couple thing though, you defeniatly need a filter for the turbo, dont wannt be suckin in anything bad into it and fcukin it up.

also, why is you BOV on the bend of your IC piping near the bumper and not on your charge pipe?

You can use your BOV in either location. Closest to the I/C or to the TB. Some people even use 2 BOVs (one in each location).

Not to sidetrack the thread...

btw Nice ass car mex.. looking CLEAN, and good! :tup: Hope it runs b-e-a-utiful! :sweet:

back to the question for dezod..

Why would you run 2 bovs? Does it make something more efficient or what?

Some heavy duty race applications use a BOV near or on the I/C for an "anti-lag" set-up. Kinda lengthy and hard to explain. There is info out there on it.
