[79Civic]

Not much of an update, been kinda busy. But i think im picking up my block tomorrow, so some work should be starting soon.

but for now, the next little project. Busting open the turbo..

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Turbo noob here, but why open up the turbo?

Are 79 civic's easy to find in your area.

 

[79Civic]

Because im going to powdercoat the housing haha. Then ill put it back together.


they are decently easy to find. not ever in great shape. but they are out there in needing help. Although i probably wont pick up a 79 this time, ill go a couple years older. its the same body style though.

When i opened my eagay turbo i stripped two of the hole out.....;.

 

[79Civic]

well you guys need to realise this isnt a cheap ebay turbo. its a cxracing turbo just purchased from ebay, would be like purchasing a garette off of ebay. This is usa made, not cheap ass china shit!!

I didnt strip any bolts holes!

 

[DESPAIN]

Mmmmmm...........strippa hoes.............

Been working on the motor this morning. So far, 2 busted knuckles, 3 busted sockets, 1 busted ratched before i gave up and figured it was time to go look for the breaker bar. and one pissed off guy over here lol. Never had so many god damn problems with a motor, and i havnt even started on the pistons/rods yet!! Gahhh.

that would be my choice!! ran those on my streetbike. and ill probably run them on this too. ive been using subaru OEM filters on my subys. but i think next oil change ill switch to k&n on it as well.
