My turbo project after internals D17a1 LXmanual UPDATED PICS ON POST # 49 I'm documenting and taking pics of the project as I go along. I won't speculate on numbers till is all done. The job is being done at a shop in Brandon Fl Dynamic Speedlab Work the head P&P valves, ARP bolts etc http://www.kissimmeemotorsports.com/...tems%20004.jpg Got my own custom intake build with a 75mm TB http://kissimmeemotorsports.com/owne...akecloseup.jpg Done all internals Pistons Sleeves rods etc http://www.kissimmeemotorsports.com/.../enginetop.jpg Equal lengh manifold being done with Stainelss 3046 8 gauge This is the turbo that's going into my car sc 50 50 trim on the compresor side and 69 trim on the Turbine http://www.kissimmeemotorsports.com/...tems%20001.jpg My car at the shop http://www.kissimmeemotorsports.com/...ings%20006.jpg http://www.kissimmeemotorsports.com/...ings%20007.jpg I have a lot invested on this project and totaly taking all usefull information from this forum, hope is worth it. Not looking at having a 9 second car just a good realiable ballsy civic. Boosting 8-10psi and drive it daily. |
looks like a precision turbo, do u know which one? i.e. sc44, 61, 63 etc |
thats such a cute little intercooler. |
Nice job Mex. Lookin good. |
looks like your doing everything the right way. why only 8 - 10 psi though? with that much invested in new guts you could probably run 15 psi easily with a good headgasket. |

I take good care of my car so I'll go with that psi for awhile till the turbo brakes in and work out all the bugs, than I'll see with a good boost controller and some new axels. Toda: Ibelive is a sc 69 as recomended by the shop. Sp3: Cute it is :) I was told that will help spool up quicker. Dezod: Thanks for all you good information,reseach and development,it realy help me in the final decition making, the same goes for Opto and others that braked the ground for turboing our cars. I recal back on the days 2001 or so when no one made nothing for our cars and ppl was to afraid to do anything to our engines. I just hope this works cause I'm going broke. |

So Hec, when I go down there to let them handle my business, they are gonna use an e-manage? Oh and btw I can't remember but did you say they will powdercoat for me? |

Ohhh you sexy man you, lol. I'm gonna handl my exterior stuff first (since I'm almost done lol) then I'll be rolling down there to let them figure out my car lol. stupid auto.. lololol |
looks great. i cant wait to see the dyno results. i personally would have got a bigger intercooler for a turbo that size though |

Very nice progress :tup: |
when is the expected complation date and what whp are you shooting for? |

Wow, you're gonna have fun once everything is finished! |
That looks awesome and yeah you are right you should let the engine adjust to it first then boost of the psi, wouldnt be a bad idea to look into a new E.C.U. (what kind of ECU are u on right now?) it might not be necessary but it could help a lot. |

gluck with everything....looks real nice so far |
Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement :tup: Abmerop18 This project is supposed to be done by the first week of next month but I'm sure it'll take longer :_doh: Some twicking involbed after a dyno session. I'm not going to rush it till it get's done right. Is killing me though. I'm use to drive my car every day and I realy miss it :cry: FRseeks: A stand along computer will be great addition although it will also be more difficult to tune for now. I'll be running the stock computer and e-manage and run it for awhile till all the bugs are taking care off on the basic set up. I'm watting for the AEM computer to became available and will aloud me some time to save some money. I put so much into this project that is draining my funds. I need a good kind sponsor to help out with the rest of the set up hint ;) hint ;) |
owen your POS |
Hec.... you need to share the love lol. When it's done I'm going with ya to pick it up! =) |
