thanks Gene, anyone else? Anything?

do diy stif engine mounts...you'll need them:)

on the greddy turbo timer, i actually put one in a subaru wrx sti the other day and there are only 6 wires that need to be hooked up. a 12v, acc, ign, and ground,then e-brake, and speed sensor. the civic doesnt have a speed sensor wire, and the e-brake is optional but recommended. if you get the harness, it goes in line with the ignition harness so none of those wires have to be cut, soits reallyeasy.so i doesnt matter what computer you have, cuz the ignition harnesses are all the same

thanks sooo much sig racer

anyone else on teh charge piping? I'm thinking like one J-pipe (to loop around under the washer fluid reservoir), a few straight pipes, a 45 to bring hte piping up after the FMIC, then another straight one?

and again, oil line? Thats the one i have no idea about.....

so i need to weld my BOV flange to my charge piping, and also need to weld my oil pan tap to the pan itself. It's all aluminum and i cant find anyone to weld it for me. How did all you guys go about getting your aluminum stuff welded??

You have a y7 don't you? I thought the pan for your engine was steel.

Originally I was going to take my oil pan to spoolinperformance and get it welded, but I decided to get a d16y7 oil pan instead lol.

oh yea i think you're right.....my bad and thanks alot

but still, BOV plate onto charge piping?? Can you just use a MIG or TIG welder or do you need a special welder?

with aluminum, you can mig and tig, just turn the machine down so you dont blow a hole in the piping. TIG would be better, its more precise

^ thanks alot! my high school i went to last year has both so i think i'll go there sometime this week :)

got my turbo timer and harness today :)few problems. First is that the entire instruction manual is in Japanese [:@]second, i honestly used my manual and searched all over but cant find where my ignition harness is (that i use with my turbo timer). Can anyone tell/show me where its at?

lol, your turbo timer is mad jdm. Iginition wire is black with a yellow stripe and is under the dash behind thesteering wheel if that helps. I think it is hidden by being wrapped in that plastic stuff that keeps wires together and neat.

the harness or the wire? Becasue i got a turbo timer harness for 96-00 and it has two different harnesses it needs to clip into. I'll get a picture up ASAP, but it looks like i need to find two different harnesses.....

Find that wire and follow it to the harness, I think the harness is tucked a little bit and I couldn't really find it when I was installing my alarm so I just tapped the wire because that was all I really needed to find. IIRC it is a brown plug.

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i26/Fliphkd720/d5_1.jpg

theres the harness if that helps.

Thanks for the help BTW, i was looking behind the steering wheel and didnt really find any harnesses but maybe i'll look again next time i go.

well i cant make a payment on my credit card for anotehr 5 days [:@] but when i do i'm ordering my oil line kit. I'm getting a TunerToys one, 38mm drain flange with a 7/16-24 inlet thread. Charge piping (which will come a day or two after the oil lines), then gotta work a little more and get the ECU and i'm all set :D

I'm waiting for this thing to get on the road, good luck finishing up!

thanks :) you could get in on Gene's (Roto) betting pool about how quickly i'll blow my engine though haha

^ might have to jumpo on the bandwagon hahaha j/k

haha....

naws it cool you guys, i made a list today of everything i'm gonna need to do and what order i'm gonna do it in, goes something like:

- get BOV adapter plate welded to charge piping/oil drain tap attached and welded to pan (block both off if done beforehand)
- install vac mani/attach boost gauge line
- unbolt sensors/disassemble simulator
- remove header
- drain oil/remove filter
- install sandwich adapter/new filter
- bolt on assembled turbo (manifold/gasket/adapter plate/gasket/turbo/oil lines)
- attach oil feed line to sandwich/drain line to pan
- Attach downpipe flange to turbo/new gasket
- using sanp ring pliers attach BOV to flange/attach vac line to BOV from vac mani
- run vac line to wastegate
- cut stock clips off/attach resistor box
- run wires to resistor box, solder new clips on, attach wires from resistor box
- test fit DSM injectors, grind O-rings down to fit into intake mani
- install intercooler, run charge piping
- install new ECU/conversion harness
- mount turbo timer/plug into harness
- 5 quarts of new oil
- Install new spark plugs (one step colder of course)
- fill up on higher octane gas
- tow to muffler shop, get downpipe welded
- tow to CornBred, get 3 hours (or more) of street tuning
- destroy my clutch on the ride home :D then tow back from wherever this occurs ;)

btw just ordered my oil restrictor. Can deposit money into my account Saturday, so oil line kit will be ordered Saturday :)

EDIT: heres the oil line kit (http://tunertoys.zoovy.com/product/OLK38/Oil_Line_kit_for_Turbos_with_38mm_drain_flange_bol t_spacing.html) i will be ordering.

went to Menards today and test fit a buncha different nuts and 7/16-24 seems to fit really nice. The oil restrictor is made for the same size as well (7/16-24). Also used a caliper and figured out which mm drain flange i need. It seems to be about 40mm, but i guess if the drain flange i got is a bit too small they say you can open one of the holes up slightly to make it fit (they only carry 38mm or 44mm, although i did have a drain flange on there already, so if all else fails i can use that one.)

couple new questions:

- can i use the stock o2 sensor bung in the top of the HF manifold for my primary sensor?
- is it totally necesarry to remove the oil pan for the welding/installation of the oil pan drain tap?? Looking at thi picture of Tyler's setup, it doesnt look totally necesarry to me (alot easier, but not required)

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i26/Fliphkd720/n160900196_30118610_2884.jpg

Think about it... you have to drill a hole to the oil pan, metal shaving are going to be falling inside the oil pan. Now do you want metal shaving inside your oil pan? lol

thank you man, i think this deserves ANOTHER:

ORIGINAL: Roto
Added another $5 to the pool...

hey roto how much to get into the pool? I want in... sorry flip[8D]:D j/k

yea yea yea......now anybody know about using the o2 bung in the HF manifold for my primary sensor? Or if my install idea is good? Or any more input on the ignition harness location?

It won't matter where you put the sensor after you're tuned. The o2 sensor won't be relaying information anymore.

I suggest plugging the one on the manifold, and having a bung put into your downpipe so that you can use that for the wideband when tuning.

yeah i'm going to have an extra bung in the downpipe for a wideband (and then just be plugged all other times), but reading back i read that you and Sov both kinda said i needed my primary sensor but can discard the secondary one (since i'll be OBD1 anyway), and it seemed a bit more convenient to just use the HF's bung and then just have one bung welded in the downpipe, but w/e, i can do either one. Hopefully the sensor will reach.

If you want I think your tuner can just disable the o2 sensors alltogether.

Oil pan gasket and downpipe's flange/bung/pipe are on their way. Getting BOV and oil pan welded soon enough.

well i've always had an on-off problem of oil on hte outside of my pan, and after discussing it with quite a few people around the forum and in the chat the general consensus was that it was a bad gasket. So maybe it'll fix that, and i dont think a new gasket would hurt anyway

replace the damn gasket...don't reuse that crap ever...and when are we going to see the goddamn turbo go on? You're taking to long, now that Sov's project is complete I need some pics of progress...

ORIGINAL: FlipHKD720

haha me too Tim....it's gettin close though :)


god i remember saying that alot during my install

well before ANYTHIGN can happen, Didder's gotta send me my adpater plate! I told him i'd pay him but he says he's just gonna ship it to me, and he's been super busy lately so i cant do anything there.....charge piping will be here Friday, Oil Line and Restrictor should be here next Tuesday, gotta get some random sh*t from Auto Value/Menards, then comes to the ECU. I'm soooo close i can feel it, so it should be an interesting few weeks coming up here.....

and not many pictures on the update, i could take a picture of all my parts this weekend? haha Might mount the intercooler, turbo timer, vaci mani and resistor box this weekend if i get some self-tapping screws and figure out where this damn ignition harness :eek: then some pics will be up

and Gene, you can always check Mossy's thread, its lookin pretty sick over there for sure ;)

blah...I don't like red civics with interfoolers....that's the second one on the forum lately :D

haha whats why i havent installed mine, i'm not 100% sure how long it'll be on there and i'll be so ashamed of it [:'(]

so the master manipulator of molten metal is hooking me with my adapter plate :D oil lines are here! So that means i'm going to assemble the mani to the plate, then the plate to the turbo, then the beginning the downpipe, which i might as well update on what i did for my downpipe:

If you look here, (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=130150071383) you can see how the flange that has the bung closer to it has three sides, just like my turbo's exhuast outlet side. So, what i did was ordered this "high flow cat", then hack sawed it off right before the bulge, and bolted it to my turbo. Then on the other flange, that just happens to be the same flange that attaches to my midpipe. So i hack sawed off the other flange/little bit of pipe and when i remove my header, i'm gonna bolt the little flange/piece of pipe to my midpipe, then have a pipe welded in between the flange/pipe coming off of my turbo to the flange/pipe coming off of my midpipe. Get it? :D

ghetto fab ftw...you're smarter than a 5th grader...

oooh, forgot to also add that because of this i already have the wideband bung all set to go :)

My car has one of those crappy converters on it that I am replacing soon, ifI knew you were gonna need one of those you coulda had mine if you just paid shipping.

oh well man, Windcalmers got my adapter plate comin and i'm almost there :D

hurry up:D

yeah, no sh!t...

well i might as well let all of HCF know, i just got a $270 fine for an MIP, along with 6 months of probation, so there goes my ECU fund....

wtf is MIP?

MIP? was it open? In FLa minor from 18-20can "Transport" beer as long as its not open and has no BAL. I thought you were 18?

Edit: Its about dammed time that plate came in:D

^ 25 MIPs, 3 kids arrested, 2 kids chased by tazors, idk i could have refused the breathalizer if i would have known, here in Michigan since September 26th if you dont have alchohol on you you can refuse a breath test, which i didnt have anythign o nme, so i could have refused, and i only blew .0529 [:@] oh well thouhg, it happens, and this doesnt belong in my turbo thread anyway ;)

so i think Monday i'm gonna assemble everything, should be epic, expect pics everyone!

Edit: Its about dammed time that plate came in:D


Hey, I only got word about the plate over the weekend. I got in done in three days due to delays cause by students being stupid, and equipment breaking. LOL

hhaha ^ well Didder made me one but he's been super super busy and has had alot of stuff going on, so he couldnt get it out, which is just fine, but as long as i get htis one :)

windcalmer thanks alot, money hsould be on the way monday, and as soon as i get it, i'll grab some gasket material and bolts and assembled the mani/plate/turbo/dp/oil lines and post pics

Sweet. I just want to see it get all colored from the heat.

mounted resistor box and vacuum manifold today, looks great IMO :)was gonna moun the intercooler buti decided not to.

Also got oil line kit in the mail today!! Oil feed fit perfectly into the sandwich adapter, and oil drain line fit perfect onto the nipple that was already on my turbo when it came :)only problem is gonna be unscrewing the old feed line from the turbo, i'm gonna need lots of PB Blaster for it, and lets hope the new drain nipple screws right in

and my digi camera is f*cked up or else i'd have pics :(

Made a final list of things to get from the auto parts store: vac lines, vac nipples, small K&N filter, 20+ small clamps, high heat gasket material, nuts/bolts to attach mani/turbo/plate/dp, some heat shrink tubing for wiring the DSMs, DSM O-Rings (since mine didnt come with any), and i think thats it.....from what i can rememeber atleast

and my MIP is gonna cost me $260 and 6 months probation, so that slows things down a bit [&:]

make sure to get silicone vac lines...they hold up better than rubber...

^ thanks for the info :)i'll probably be going on Wednesday to get all that random stuff, then hopefully Friday or so ordering my charge piping, and then comes the last but CERTAINLY not least.....ECU :eek:

woowoooo!!! Adapater plate came! Thank you windcalmer!! I know its just a little thing, but this thing is absolutely beautiful!

i'm going tomorrow morning to my old high school and using the metal shop to drill the holes and assemble most evertyhing, just cant tighten it down cuz i dont have any gasket material yet

btw Matt i liked the Ben "Flip" Stewart address ;)and your $10 is on its way

Cool cool. I PMed you about the charge pipe.

Woohoo! Big update!! Spent about 6 hours in the metal shop at my old high school today and got both flanges cut for the down pipe, the adapter plate drilled, then found some gasket material the teacher had and assembled everything!

But, then there are oil line troubles. My drain line is perfect, i'm stoked on that, but for my feed line, i took the old adapter that hooked up to the old oil feed line (becasue it didnt fit my new lines), but now none of the new adapters i have fit the hole on the turbo. One looks to be the same size, but the threads are really tight and it doesnt screw into the turbo :( you can see in that one picture the turbo feed hole. So what should i do? Another problem is that the line that looks into the sandwich adapter is also the one that has those fine threads, so i'm at a loss. I have 4 adapters, one from the old lines, one restrictor i ordered, then the oil line kit came with two, one of which fits the sandwich adatper. So, ideas??

oh and that last picture is for Gene who said he wanted more pics of my project, if i can get another digi camera i'll take pics of the resistor box and vac mani mounted, but in that picture you can see the turbo timer, intercooler, harnesses, vac lines, oil pan gasket, and then in those boxes are my oil line kit, injectors, and BOV

So youre oil line adapter wont fit into the turbo?

can i have the jason mask in the last picture?

added another $3 just for ****s and giggles...

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

went to AutoValue today, bought:

- vacuum lines
- vacuum nipples
- various vacuum adapters
- spark plugs one step colder (and gapper)
- all clamps for vacuum lines

and looked into fixing my oil line problem, i just need an adapter for a few of those oil inlet/restrictors and then i think they'll fit up....just takes time

also ordered my little K&N filter, it should be in in like a week, will bolt right onto the turbo, should be siiiiick

flip, this is taking to long. you suck... at life. J/k, sorta, but seriously, hurry up

out of a job, paying fines, and car payment/insurance, it sucks for sure, you're not the one looking at this aseembled turbo just sitting in your garage [:@] actaully should be some updates tomorrwo night, i'll let you know

got my oil sanwich all figured out, getting DSM rings from tony, and now i just need to figure out this oil inet thing.....worked with my vac lines a bit today and the BOV one is all good, so is the wastegate one and so is the boost gauge (just need to hook up the brake booster and then once everything is install, hook the lines to the actual components). I'm waiting on the brake booster because the vac mani nipples i got are just a little bit too big and idk if the vac source would be as good as i need it, so i need to look around just a bit more.

ben, the projects came a long way....good luck man, sorry about the bust...although i agree with gene, your gay for getting cought, and slightly more gay for rocking the 80's....even though half the time i wear the same stuff...lol

later man.

project is looking good:) hopefully you will be able to finish soon and not have to look at the turbo set up for too much longer before you are done

im trying guys im trying....just need $$, i think i found a local guy that can tune for me too, which REALLY stokes me up

I just found this and read it all. Can I get in on the pool? $5 bucks from me. :D j/k Flip


Check out ... www.phearable.net for ecus. Actually... they're pretty damn expensive, I had a cheaper site but I lost the link. Anybody got one?

I'll be starting my turbo project after winter... right now it's just boring progress like painting the charge piping and ordering little things.

dam........... going on 5moths now.... OUCH... i thought you woulda had this done by now....
so how much money you got in this thing so far?


i thought i was geting nickel and dimed for my 94 parts.... so i know how money can be!

so my intake pipe and BOV plate are in the mail on their way to Windcalmer, and i sent them last Monday nd he sitll deosnt have them? I REALLY hope my stuff isnt lost in the mail, i have a horrible ghetto intake rigged up right now and just want my normal intake back

I told you not to worry. I got them in the mail this morning. I just got back from class opened it snapped a pic and uploaded it so you could see your baby. LOL I will get her all welded up tomorrow morning and might just have it in the mail to you by this time tomorrow.

Here is a pic of her just so you know she is safe. (http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h284/windcalmer/pipe.jpg)

siiiiiiiiiiick :D yea just weld the plate where it is taped, then cut out the middle hole, and you got the money too?

Yeah I know what too do. and I got the green. I will post up some pics of it tomorrow.

I'll give credit to Flip for not using chewing gum to hold the flange in place...

No we got it all welded up today. I even had time to pressure test and smoke test it. Not a single tiny leak. Its not really pretty, but the BOV plate was a casting and those things never weld right. I have been waiting to hear from Ben before I ship it to him though.

PMed, looks great, i can clean the little stuff up a bit myself, but looks fine man, ship away :)

well for looks you can always slap some bondo around it and sand smooth ;)

damn, that would have been nice to have haha. flip, dont worry too much about the install. its by no means a breeze, but its probably much easier than you'd expect

AND I HAVE AN INTERVIEW AT THE CARWASH ON MONDAY! THE GUYS HAVE BEEN SUPER POSITIVE ABOUT ME GETTING A JOB AND ALL I NEED IS LIKE 2 PAYCHECKS WORTH AND I'LL HAVE ENOUGH FOR THIS THING! WISH ME LUCK!

Good luck with the interview.

Good luck. And you should have a big box at your door tomorrow I would think. They told me it would take two days to get there. So cross your fingers!!!

woot woot, i'll be happy to have the dryflow on rafther than the screen and cloth [:'(] haha anway, if i get this job i'll be boosted so quikc, im stoked [8D]

So now we are just waiting for Ben to get off his butt and post up some pics of the ((UGLY)) welding job I did. ROFL

((Side note for everyone thinking of having an aluminum BOV plate welded to an aluminum pipe::: Get a BOV plate the is not cast. Aluminum casting dont weld well at all!!! So save up and get one the is milled, not cast. PLEASE!))

yup got my intake back, installed it with the plate welded on, its all brushed up thanks to Matt up there ^ that was nice for sure. Right now its ugly cuz i hvae a mini-filter ziptied over the plate, but as soon as i can get ahold of some snap ring pliers for like 2 minutes the BOV will be installed, and all will be pretty again :)

and Tony i got the rings, so my injectors are 100% ready for installation

and interview is tomorrow, nervous nervous nervous [>:]

wow, thts probably the best turbo install DIY i've ever seen, thanks alot :)



Yup, apparently there actually is some "Tech" on Honda-Tech.

interview went great, it was basically "Hey, we're hiring you, im going to tell you what the job entitles and get a background check and drug screening done on you". For the background check i'll be all set (talked to him about my MIP), and drug test i SHOULD be totally good, so i'll le you guys know cuz a job is about all i need for this thing now....

"SHOULD" :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

ROFLMAO

lol ive been pounding cranberry and apple juice like a fiend....

"I swear, I need it for my glaucoma!"

lol no i really dont do it alot, lets just keep it at that, and i should pass. Moving on.....i still havent found a fix for my oil feed line situation, but other than that i'll be able to install this whole thing as soon as i buy the charge piping

Wait what is going on with the oil lines?

the oil feed adapter that fits into the oil line wont screw into the oil feed threads on the turbo. The Turbo came with an oil feed adapter that fits perfectly into the turbo, but then my oil line wont fit into that. So if i could find a double sided bolt with different threads on eitehr side (one side that fits onto the oil feed on the turbo, and one side that fits onto the oil feed that fits my line), then it will work out. But other than that, i'm lost for ideas

Can you find out what the thread count and pitch for each side are? If you can get all that info then I can see if I can machine you one. Just a thought. LOL

HINT: home depot has gauges in the fasteners isle.

^ yea Pete recommended that too, i went to Menard (the closest thing we've got) and they had nothing. This one auto shop had something really close to what i need, but not quite [&:] there is a fasteners shop around here that i think im gonna try soon

and Matt i'll get back to you ASAP about the measuremnts, that'd be incredible if you could get me an adapter that works. I'd owe you even more than i already do ;)

If he can't do it, send me the dimensions as well, I might be able to whip something up on the lathe.

I was thinking that if we could always just get the two sizes of adapters and I could cut them in half and weld them together. If that makes sense. LOL

^ no that makes total sense and i dont know much about welding so just didnt know if it was really possible lol i'll get measurements for you guys ASAP

well just a little update.....found my ignitin harnesses and the turbo timer harness i got absolutely WILL NOT fit, the harnesses are like just too big and they dont line up right. I'm like totally sure its the right harnesses, its just a ****ty turbo timer harness.....so now gonna havta wire that up by splicing [&:] not desirable but w/e....

and starting my job next week at the car wash :) money will be coming soon, then the REAL project starts......

so I take it you passed the pee test... now let's just not get fired the first week :D

As soon as the adapter gets here I am gonna get them fitted up and welded together. So yeah. Thats the plan. Yup. Just a.....waiting for them to get here. Not really doing much other than .......a.........waiting.

LOL Sorry, been watching too much Family Guy. LOL

they're going on tmrw. I'll give ya a holla in the thread title, hope ya like it ;)

Thats funny. LOL Thanks for the shout out.

so, why no progress? Got kicked out of the new job yet?

got other sh*t going on, havent had any time to work. It's coming though. It sucks, but i'm the one paying for it in the end. No boost for me yet

Well when the adpater gets here that will, in theory anyway, put you one short step closer.:D Just take a deep breath and focus on the prize.

haha i am....personally im sick of having people ask me how close i am to getting this project done and asking me why i have a boost gauge in my car haha idk, just gotta give it time.....

a boost gauge with no boost? ricer! jk man. get to steppin already, i want to see you finish this project. then you can join the boosted elite[sm=gears.gif]

oh jesus i know.........gaaaaaah......alright. No more wahbulance updates. I'll let you know when the piping and ECU get here, then the install, welding of the DP, and then the farewell post of me leaving to go get it tuned :)

haha no no no, i'm having a local shop do it for like $25, i'd have you do it for sure but it'll be after the turbo is installed and it'll be welded using a flexpipe i think becasue idk how its going to line up with the rest of my exhaust, so dont worry about it Matt ;)

^^^ LOL Cool. I just couldn't remember if you had or hadn't.:D

open down pipe NIIIIIICE!

well its internally gated, and im just routing that to the back of my exhaust man

hurry up.LOL

ill be dead before this is done[&:]

O.K. The adapters got here today, so tomorrow I will get them fitted up and shipped back to Ben. :D

yeah man :D understand hwo it needs to be attached?

and GReddy its all about the $$$....no funds, no boost.

Yup. It was still taped up when it got here.

And they just need to be in a straight line right. No angle or anything right?

haha, fantastic. sell some plasma and seman flip!

Matt yeah just in a straght line should do it

I've heavily considered plasma, but it's less money than that here. it's like 20 bucks a visit

No, you don't sell plasma. Sell guns to small countries. Much better money, and you get to visit new places each week. Come on you guys. Use your heads here!:D

I just heard on the radio a plasma place was offering $250/month. I am seriously thinking about it. thatss like.... 250 jr. bacon cheesburgers! in a month!

You can whore yourself out to fat chicks at $100 a piece, or really fat chicks for $1000 a piece. What? Fat girls need love too, but they gotta pay...

We're talking about flip here mossy...not sure thats the best idea:D Dammit flip! hurry up!

O.K. Well, the reason you could not find an adapter for the silver one is because they doen't sell taht thread pitch in ((from what I can tell)) the freaking U.S. LOL

I am not giving up on it though. I will post more when I get a call back form a guy I know that can work magic. Seriously, he touches things and they just work.

Thats whatshe said.

so im thinking i'm getting my ECU for Christmas, my charge piping sometime before then, and over Christmas break removing my A/C, and sometime REALLY soon after the new year doiung the whole install. Just bolting everything on, pinching my BOV onto my piping, the spending like an entire day soldering/connecting my injectors. Renting a U-Haul, towing the Civ to Cornbred tuning, tuning it down there for a day, and then updating you guys. Lets put that as a realistic timeline k? I know its taking a while, but w/e, it is what it is.

this has to be the longest thread on just putting a turbo kit on:D lol. agreed with the being dead comment

minimum wage, hopping from job to job, college student, funds are hard to come by

You still using the probe turbo?

yep, pretty sures its the same one you have man.

I know it is, I have just started to stretch the legs on mine so to speak. I added a MBC and a stewart warner boost gauge last week. I jumped it to 15psi but my ecu cuts fuel/spark at 12psi. It's didn't for about 3 minutes though and I could break traction on a 2nd gear roll at about 3000rpm. I moved it back down to 11psi but it spikes a little if i'm in say 4th and roll into the throttle to full boost but if I hammer it from second gear on it doesn't. Seems like a ok turbo really. When I get the fuel/timing cut removed from my ecu I plan on running 17psi with a water meth kit. I was going to get another front mount but temps are bound to be good plus I have a crazy ass low 7.6 to 1 compression ratio

If you would like I could take a short vid of the speed-o on a 2nd and 3rd gear pull and post it up in here for you to see.

Anyone got a clues as to where I could find a 7/16 X 24 nut? LOL Hell, I would take a tap of that size and pitch if I could find it.

egay?

I found out why Ben had such a hard time finding that right nut for this adapter.

ITS A FREAKING PLUMBING FITTING!!! I just got back from an hour long "walk about" through HomeDepot, Tractor Supply, and Fastenal. LOL But i found it, so monday I will get it all welded up adn ship it out.

And Ben sweetheart, you owe me for this one. ROFL:D:D:D

stupid double post.. sorry

LMFAO with plasma........

hahahhahahaha i used to do that about 5years ago WHEN I REALY NEEDED MONEY for groceries.LOL

i did it for quite some time until i got this one stupid person that had such a hard time puting the needle in right.... and OF COURSE..... i still have a scar from them puting in that needle in my freaken arm! small dot but STILL.... enough for me not to wanna go back! stupid interns!!!!!!!

funny part was while going thier i say the old drunk worker up thier donating plasma for BEER MONEY. LMFAO

haha k cool, i dont feel so dumb for not being able to find a fitting that would fit onto both of them.....

and i know i already owe you $7 for the charge piping, so i'll just add it to this things cost :eek:

We can settle up at the end when you are all settled into your new job and have your cash flow sorted out better. I might go in tomorrow and work on it some. I will post a pic when I get it done.

k whenver oyu get around to it, sometime before the new year ;)

you dont need a uhaul to tow it, just leave the bov section of piping off until you get to the tuner. then its just blowing air into your engine bay. if you have a good basemap on the ecu you will run like that just fine, even with the new injectors.

well the basemap would be telling my car thats its getting 8 PSI of boost, and then unhooking my charge piping would basically make it as if there was no turbo on there at all, except the ECU would still be telling it to pump out more gas (along with the 450cc injectors installed)....but i could be totally wrong lol idk, would you other guys think it would be safe to drive with the basemap for once i'm boosted with my charge piping unattached?

Thanks for the idea Mossy :)

the ecu will see no boost since your map sensor won't read any boost cause there will be no boosttherefore it should run just fine...

btw....$5 more to the pool :D

^^^ Huh? BTW Ben, I got all the stuff I needed today. So welded up Monday, and shipped. That way if it doesn't work you can send it back and I can fix it before time to install it all.

Oh and the fittings only cost $2 for both of them. So you got out cheap!

haha but thanks Matt, i'll post pics once its all fitted onto the turbo :)

lol, i have had this done for you forever, but im to embarrased to mail it, im old school so it looks like crap cuz it was torched, and the 3/8 had a bow to it that i didnt see...

hopefully wind hooks you up way phatter than i ever could lol... im sure his wil be much better quality anyway :D

hope everythings going good for you, my turbo install just went serious so you will probalby beat me, i got a motor to swap and a turbo to install now :(

^^^ Which part did you mess up?

The ECU will not tell it to pump more fuel until you get into boost. As boost increases, so does the fuel. So, just drive on the basemap, short shifting and avoiding boost. You will be going very slow, and probably feel like a moron, but its the only way to do it.

now i know why the forum has been running slow

hurry up and get done flip so that the forum can run quickly again!

iBored with the lack of progress on this project[sm=boosign.gif]

ditto

lol do you guys think i'm happy with having almost an entire turbo kit sitting in my garage?? It sucks the worst for me, but again, i think Jan 3rd or 4th will be the big install with the trip to CornBred to tune shortly thereafter

[sm=violin.gif]Dont care flip, i just want it done!
Santa: "What do you want for Christmas little boy?"
Boy: "I want Flip to finish his project"
Santa: "Fat chance in hell of that happening"

[sm=bling.gif] i see, I'll updatw when I/ sober

flip, youre a die hard alcoholic. It's finals week and youre still gettin sh*t faced.[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

the project section is used to navigate through a project easily and not have off topic conversations on. Also this thread was suppose to help people so they can navigate through it easily to find out about your project. It is out of hand so, Flip PM me when you have made progress and i will unlock.

so, one thing to say to everybody:

K, IVE GOT 11 PARKING TICKETS, A BROKEN WINDSHIELD, A $260 MIP AND I LIVE AWAY FROM HOME WORKING A MINIMUM WAGE JOB 3 NIGHTS A WEEK. THIS ISNT A "FAKE" TURBO PROJECT, IM GOING TO COLLEGE AND DOING THE BEST I CAN. SLOWLY BUT SURELY ITS COMING TOGETHER, SO STOP GIVING ME **** AND IT'LL BE DONE WHEN IT'S DONE :-) ITS NOT A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OR SKILL AND I HAVEN'T GIVEN UP, I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN WITH THE MONEY I CAN GET TOGETHER, KTHXBAI

and i guess while i'm here, i got my turbo filter, exhaust mani gasket, oil/filter, and vac mani nipples, so all my random tings are taken care of. ECU and piping left....wish me luck!

EDIT: and removed my A/C a few weeks ago

if you would onlystop parking illegally... that could have been your piping right there. I would say replace hte windshield yourself, but it isn't a fun project. I did it twice and although it's saving money it still sucks to do.

11 parking tickets..... WTF where you doing....

or are the cops not believing your fake handicap sticker.LOL



so what all do you need to finish up the project?
