I have a 99 GSR and next weekend i'm putting all my turbo stuff on it.....i have the IC mounted and the piping is pretty close to perfect for it, but not mounted. I have the boost gauge in the car and this weekend i'm doing the fuel pump and routing a catchcan. I have to basically bolt the manifold on, put the wastegate and dumptube on the manifold, put the turbo on, hook up the exhaust i built, fit and attach the charge piping, rewire for the resistor pack, install the new OBD1 injector clips, stuff in the new RC550s, tap the pan, run the oil feed line, do an oil change after dropping the pan, and run vaccuum for everything......

How long would you guys expect this all to take if you had a good shop for about half of the time and your garage for the rest?? I have from Thursday at 5pm until Tuesday at around 5pm to work on it......i am almost postitive that i'll have way more than enough time, but i have to allow some time to spend w/ my girlfriend....

 

by the way, this is my first install, but i've been working on cars for a few years.....

 

your fuel pump will only take about 20 mins to put in , there is a acsess door under your rear seat

 

good that means this weekend will be a cinch, but what about the rest of the install.....im just wondering what's normal.....

 

only crappy part is droping the pan, I hate oil , lol but if you got a friend helping you should beable to bang it out in a few hours , also get a bspt adapter for the oil feedline ,

 

i hope this is not your daily driver. You could do it in one day, just don't rush and don't overtighten the oilfeed fitting, that will ruin your weekend . Take it slow and put plenty of sealent tape on the threads of anything that has to do with oil. Good luck

 

try to do everything you can ahead of time; run boost gauge vacuum line/mount gauge, spray pb blaster on bolts, ect. Its a lot of small stuff that can make/break an install

 

i have all the small stuff done.....by the way it is my daily driver, but i have another car to drive so i dont have to finish it in one day....i'm giving myself 4-5 days to do it....

 

Took us about 10 hours, beer/green breaks included (granted, we had a shop, all the pimp tools, and a lift )

99si.

 

for about 75% of the time, i'll be in a good shop w/ access to a lift too...the weekend i have to move across town to a different shop or go a block away and work at my house.....

 

took me 9 hours, with 3 trips to pep boys to pick up **** i needed my 1st installed
2ed install 4 hours
3ed install 3 hours,
it all just depends, if u have everything it make it's a whole lot easier.
GET HIGH TEMP HONDA BOND and make sure u have all your clips and if ur going to run hondata or crome, have the basemap burned and already in when u go to start the car.

 

yea I'd say 1/2 to a full day should be more than enough (if you know what you're doing)

 

^^we'll find out .....lol
