TURBOWHT
Well after parting out the talon, i realized how lonely i got. So since i had my civic i thought ill just put money into that. NOW before you guys start flaming me haha, this is just for fun and until i get out of college and get a job. then i will get an evo or something.





My new 60-1 turbo.





My clutch, hondata, fmic, i/c piping turbo oil lines

Its still running like Poo... I cant get it to hold boost. I dont know whats up. I set it to 25psi and it fades back to like 19 or 20
TURBOWHT
You get the boost leak tester out and check for boost leaks?

Whats with the turbo Hondue?

Im still waiting on mounts and im picking the motor up this weekend, and im also waiting for misc. other parts to show up too. like the ls/vtec kit, and shift linkage.

anyone know anything about the whip factory? i think thats where im going to have my car tuned.
TURBOWHT
well i finally started. FMIC is on and mount need to be unbolted to the old motor and it will be out.


turbohcar
Silly Handu. DSM wannabe.
TURBOWHT
Oh i had a dsm and i will get another after school. this is just a fun project for me until then.
turbohcar
Fun project? Looks like balls out to me. That thing oughta be quick with that huge hair dryer on it.
99Spyder
Yeah, I am waiting see how it holds together! We need some video when it is done.
TURBOWHT
Oh there will be plenty of pics and vids. its coming alone pretty fast. i wish winter would hurry up and get over. Ill prolly get it dyno tuned in late january. hopefully have this thing running pretty good.
Chicago_DSM
Have fun with all that wheelspin...

Whats the compression on the motor? Is it sleeved?

BTW, if this is just a "fun project", I can't wait to see what you got in store for your next dsm biggrin.gif
TURBOWHT
Idk if i said what the motor is or not but i bought the motor already built. No one around here sleeves blocks.

so i bought a ls motor (1.8L) with eagle rods and ross pistons. 8.9.1 blockgaurd. new bearings and what not. and im running a gsr vtec head.

act 6 puck clutchkit, with hondata s300. has all the options.
TURBOWHT
Well here is my motor. I just gotta get the new clutch on, get the trans on and wait for my mounts to show up in the thing is in. I decided to just go ls head for now. then just do turbo cams and build the head. not sure yet but here is some pics.





JBone
From a sport compact standpoint that thing looks like it might haul balls. I'm jealous. I want a turbo for the 2.2 s10. biggthumpup.gif

One thing you might want to consider, cut out a piece of that bumper so you can get more airflow to the intercooler. Quite a bit is covered up dude. That or trim off the underside and rivet a piece of plastic to direct air to it.

GOOD LUCK!! biggthumpup.gif
TURBOWHT
Here are some updated pics. Just waiting for motor mounts precision 780cc injectors and ngk spark plug wires.




The Iron Goat
Holy jeebus, that's a huge turbo! Looks good so far, hope it comes out awesome for you!!!
turbohcar
I spy some drag radials! I suppose in an effort to create a huge plume of tire smoke as opposed to a small one with street tires, the drag radials are must. J/K, hope you come back to DSMs soon!

Just how much positive manifold pressure are we going to run here, or rather how much is possible?

Looks like your radiator may be a bit worse for weather as well. You might want to consider a better cooling system before you go hitting the track hard.
TURBOWHT
yeah the radiator is about ready to fall to peices. haha

But the first start up will be at 8 psi. and then once i get a good tune then run 14 psi. the guy that had the motor and turbo setup before me ran 20 psi a couple times so who knows. idk ill just run 14 for a while.

And i am definitly getting an evo after school. ill sell this thing. prolly mid summer. after i get tired of burning out and leaving long blackmarks everywhere.
