A couple of shots of my civic. I know the pics
are gay, but fuck it.

anyways...
I just got done installing a homemade turbo in my fodo'.
Its a b18b engine (stock) with a 57 trim
t3t4 turbonetics turbo.
Most of the turbo parts were bought at local shop and forums.
It took me 4 days to get this thing rolling.
I spent about $1100-1200 for this project including
a couple used gauges (boost and oil press). Thanks Ripperbone.
Not too shaby compared to almost 3 grand i spent 2 years
ago for the drag3 kit. This is pretty much the same shit
for half the price.

I'll be tuning it with crome.

Here she is. My sleeper 4 door. WHat do you think? Do i look gay
in the last pic? lol

edit: The intercooler is now painted black. ALso bought a Tial BOV and mounted it 6" from the turbo.

reckedracing · 09-26-2006, 01:28 PM

can't really see your setup in those pics but the car looks nice

why did you put the BOV so close to the turbo?

Seany-izzle · 09-26-2006, 01:49 PM

what did you use that rubber hammer on? lol

SlushboxTeggy · 09-26-2006, 02:38 PM

Nice setup. I still can't believe how much you look like my friend.

lil_red_rex · 09-26-2006, 03:32 PM

Seany-izzle · 09-26-2006, 05:57 PM

nahhh... Thats an old pic. That BOV you see is a bullshit ebay one. The one i have now is a Tial BOV and is closer to the turbo.
Pics up in a bit. Hang on.

Estorvito · 09-26-2006, 07:06 PM

A couple more pics.

notice the Tial BOV, about 6" from turbo and the dsm injectors
Also the FMU is gone. By the way its for sale. lol

Not really looking for much.
But im sure i can sweeze about 200whp outta this by tuning it right. @ 10psi with the stock internals. Maybe a little more.

I also have a gsr swap that im building for next year. im looking for at least 400whp outta that one.

vanillakilla · 09-27-2006, 01:19 AM

I think you can hit a least 250whp on a t3/t4 57 trim @ 10 psi

im working on it.

Andrew · 09-27-2006, 11:17 AM

I would do something about the oil line over the valve cover. SS braided line works as a great low speed file... your valve cover will look like garbage if you leave that line rubbing on it...

just a heads up. the build looks great! what a sleeper!

Oh, and why is the a/c compressor still bolted on?

i wanted to keep the ac, but after buying this other gsr motor, i decided to get rid of it...
Im taking it off today.

as for the ss braided line. well, it does look a little fucked up. Imma try to hide it.

I'll work on that today.
More pics coming tonight.

Andrew · 09-27-2006, 03:54 PM

I meant it will mess up you valve cover, but yeah, it also is kindof an eyesore.

ohh ok,,

Slammed89Integra · 09-28-2006, 12:37 AM

My friend got 264 WHP with a very very similar setup like yours on 93 octane. The engine had ultra low miles though.

d112crzy · 09-28-2006, 03:58 AM

looks good, what are the specs on the turbine? 57 trim compressor? whats the a/r on that? you can def hit 250whp with that.

hows spool up? whens full boost?

Calesta · 09-29-2006, 09:19 PM

Very very nice! If you want suspension and brakes for that thing, let me know. I love the fodo.

I might be interested.

2000Si · 10-01-2006, 10:11 PM

If I remember right, he has a used Fastbrakes brake kit.

Err... I forgot to comment on the point of the thread. lol

Nice setup, after it's all been installed and tuned, how much did it all set ya back? ( know 1200... but what kind of misc parts did you need, etc?)

Calesta · 10-02-2006, 12:34 AM

Tein FLEX coilover set with pillowball mounts, maybe 10k miles on them

FastBrakes 11 inch (all 4 corners) with 4 piston Wilwood calipers up front, 15/16 Integra master cylinder and booster

ripperbone · 10-02-2006, 01:11 PM

it still looks good, and I cant wait for you to rebuild the b18c1, it will be worth it!!!!! and thank God your getting rid of the FMU and using some real tuning. but damn time.

BIttchhhhh...

so ahh yeah i finally got time to start playing with CROME, and for some reason the ARF @ idle was 9.8 to 10.3 <--not good at all.

After playing with it for a little bit, and fouling my plugs twice, i finnally got it up to 13.1- 13.8 @ idle which is still a little off, but better than before.

Im working on idle first and then start tuning under boost. Hopefully i can get it tuned for 10psi with no problem.

Cant wait for better weather. The snow storm fucked everything up. :-(
