Ok guys
i am still awaiting my Drag 3 from Ben, its for a '00 Civic Si. anyways he says i am next on the list so i am hoping next week i get it. i am a bit nervous about the install, i am the first of my group of friends to "join the darkside" so none of us have much experience, but we are all VERY mechanically literate. i am worried mostly about plumbing and lines etc. so my question is, does it come with a thourough install instruction guide? i got two different install sheets from an Integra at Overboost and at Import parts, but ia m sure the Civic Install will differ a bit. can anyone put me at ease? also i got the two guages taht came with Bens group buy, what else would you recommend? EGT? Fuel Pressure? Oil Pressure???? thanks guys!

 

if you can wrech and know the basics of what and where everything is and you know how to read or follow instructions, then it will be cake. i did my turbo install and did my swap and have never done that before...i am just against spending a a$$ grip of money for any labor when that money should go into more hop-ups and tweaks like it does. and it's just better to d.i.y. egt&oil pressure would be good ones to go ahead and get.

 

Just so you know the Drag kit doesn't come with instructions. However if your mechanically inclined and have the right tools, the install shouldn't be that big of a hassle.

 

good luck... its not too hard of an install, just make sure you take your time and do a good install. hardest part is trying to get everything to fit where it should, you'll have to do some cutting here and there, and a bit of squeezing in tight spaces. also, its important to make sure you do a good job of running the oil send and return lines, definitely don't want those to leak.

 

i rather just pay someone $600 so in case it ***** up, they are liable for it. haha

 

I'm in the same situation you are in NYb16. I'm the first to turbocharged and was kinda worried the same as you Its so hard to have anyone help who hasn't gone turbo yet when you don't even know how to hook up those damn oil return line feed line and the mumbo jumbo I hope i can get some friends on this board that lives near me to help (if I have any:hammer me or so if not then I duno Good luck to you and to me heh
