Finally boosted! yay
Finally threw in all the parts I have in my room over the spring break. It's taken me awhile to gather all the parts and I've been soooo feenin to feel this boost thing that everyone talks about. Here are the shitty pics:
It feels really great to have a boosted Honda. The car runs well at 6psi and I hope I will be satisfied with that for awhile.
I would like to thank everyone who contributes to this forum to make it what it is; without it I would have never made it to the darkside.
Special thanks to Stan (Flamenco-T) for the oil feed/return setup, Phil (project dc2) for fabbing the dp, elbow, dumptube, and i/c piping, Jay (JV) for the turbo, and Mike (Kteller8) for the exhaust piping kit and muffler.
Comments and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

i really don't doubt that. my solution is to not get a boost controller until i get some proper fuel management.

that's what i like to think. there are several turbo parts that i purchased that did not end up getting used in this setup. my best advice from this experience is to do your homework, know what your goals are, and k.i.s.s.

don't really know. but to me it makes no difference whether the turbo is sucking air from a straight filter or a filter on a stick. plus the space there is tight so my options were limited. big thanks to importparts.com for the mushroom filter, it was their last one i was told.

Re: (CharlesInTurbocharge)
Looks good, wonder why did you run your exhaust side out to the left , and the intake side to the right.. Easier Downpipe made? Or was it space issue... Nice though...
Makes me anxious to get my Turbo in ~!
Oh yea, CMON MAN! Wheres the Intercooler shot???!!!

didn't want to shave my block. plus having no a/c and no p/s allows me to do so.

Re: Finally boosted! yay (5thgenh4tch)
so is there anything that anyone would change on my setup? i'm not talking about the actual parts but the way everything is put together. i know for sure i'm going to change out some of the home depot rubber connectors that are on there for some silicone ones, especially the one coming right off the turbo. i also need to re-position my i/c which is not pictured. and i'd like to put my a/c mount back on and mount the vacuum block which is actually just hanging, lol. anything else? TIA.
