Steel is easier to work with than aluminum. At least that's what the guy who was going to do my welding said.

 

o ya the oil lines. forgot about that...

 

thats a good project bro I like that deal nice reminds me of my first turbo D. I made like 267 on a good day.

 

^^huh???

I am now in the process of selling all the turbo parts.

 

Well, I started leaking fuel from somewhere yesterday and it got worse overnight. I went outside today, found out the leak was coming from my injector's/fuel rail. The injector for cylinder 2 was the problem. The o-ring on the top was mangled. How? I have no clue.

So I went to the honda dealership, got new o-rings and cushion rings, and reinstalled the injectors. However, I guess i over-tightened the nuts which hold the fuel rail onto the IM, and the bolts snapped. Now I have to wait until tomorrow for the Honda dealership to get two new ones in. Ugh... this is tiring.

I'll post up some pics of everything tomorrow when everything is fixed... hopefully... as I need my car for Thursday morning to get to the Philadelphia Airport.

 

Well, Honda didn't screw up and give me the wrong part. yay!!!! They are known to order the incorrect part at times.

Within an hour, I disassembled the fuel rail, and reinstalled everything using the new bolts which hold the fuel rail to the IM. Everything seems to be working fine again. woo hoo! I let the car idle and warm up completely and no signs of leaking gas whatsoever. I'm going to go road test it soon. I took a couple pics of the broken bolts etc etc. I'll post them up by the end of the night.

 

Well, I can happily say, over 100 miles and no fuel problems/leaks. Here's a pic of the broken bolts/studs (left), and the new ones (right).


Installed!


Now, back to my attempts to fix the exterior of the Civic.
