Well..I've been piecing a turbo kit for my civic for about a year now. The kit initially was going to consist of a td05 DSM 16g turbo. Its funny though, I haven't even felt boost yet, and I am already upgrading. I ended up selling my Tyrus intercooler and td05 16g kit in favor of a bigger and badder setup. Here are pics of me starting over




Looks to be a Garrett T3/T04e 57trim/.63ar stage3 turbine wheel

[
This is what I have pieced so far


Me getting better acquainted with my new setup


After I was done making love to my turbo, I let my dirty engine get better acquainted with its new bestfriend with benefits aww..how cute!!

Finally here are pics of my roomate finishing off his redtop Sr20 swap




Hope you guys enjoyed the pics ,

See how the exhaust wheel bolt looks kinda stripped, is this normal??? Mine is just like this, never used and am wondering if this is how they do it. Oh yeah, LS TURBO BABY

 

He he he he... I think we bought our turbo from the same place. Yes, that is normal. They did those cuts to balance it......

thats done to balance the chra. when these things spin 100k+ rpm they need to balance it or else it will wear out prematurely

Thanks..but the wait is killing me...gonna finish off the semester..and work during the summer to make extra dough to finish off the kit.

i believe the SFP is actually a copy of the drag manifold, if you can confirm that then yes i can make you a downpipe for it.

 

Any LS guys have experience with this particular turbo?

Yes it is. I bought it from Peter K on the board. Well..I tried pulling a search on this turbo, but i couldn't find much input from the LS guys. I am very interested in when this turbo spools, when full boost is met, and hp numbers. My plans are to run 7lbs daily and 10lbs high boost running 550s and hondata.

If you bought my precision, i could have helped you . Kept me up 3 extra hours....

 

one of my customer is using a 60 trim with .63 turbine housing 7 psi by 4500
