Here is a pic of before:




It went from a stock y7 motor, then I put on an ex intake manifold, and then an ex head. It was running a stub intake (lol) some no name header with a jg cam. I decided I wanted to stick to sohc since a lot of people are going dohc. Really wanted a k-series but couldnt afford it.

Here is the after picture:



I bought a greddy kit, using the emanage and probably gonna stick with it since its such a mild turbo kit. I have yet to put on my jrc intercooler. Its painted black, i just need one 2" 90 degree bend and then its on. Right now, its pinging around 5k and up. I think its the lack of fuel so i just bought 310cc injectors and buying a fuel pump. let me know what you guys think.

cool!!

so is it fast?

97spooncivic

before, i had 45 shot of nitrous on a wet system. But this is a lot faster then when i was running nitrous. Its very smooth, small turbo with not lag. sucks because i cant push it because its pinging up top, just need to put my intercooler, injectors, and fuel pump on. Then buying a zex cam and taking it to the dyno to get tuned

hell yea looks good

2slo2serious

damn yo.... lookin good.

i didnt have to clock the turbo, you shouldnt have to clock the turbo, the actuator arm will get messed up if you do.

thanks everybody for the comments. just bought some 310cc injectors and hopeing to get a 2 inch 90 degree bend so i can put on my intercooler.

sup gurl

A lot better

You can't just buy bigger injectors and have the problem solved. Isn't the e-manage tunable? Sean (Ricey McRicerton) had a similar setup and tuned the e-manage on his own with a wideband.

I'm running DSM 450's and an uberdata chipped P28 with a map made by John Kerr (93turbo16 on here). He had a greddy kit on a d16z6 and was running 450's. His map works perfectly on my car. Runs smooth as hell, no fuel problems.

You don't want pinging AT ALL. Detonation + boost = kablamo!

ain that the truth, detonation is no fun!!! id get rid of that emanage and get someone to chip an ecu for you, i prefer john but there are many other great tuners out there that are cheap

haha, yes. kablamo = no bueno. im going to take to shawn/shaun church to get it tuned. he has done great work on my friends car using emanage.

what turbo kit is that and what safe psi should i run with my mini-me? is there a small turbo that runs 5-6 psi?

97spooncivic

that is a greddy kit that runs 5.5 psi. its really fun to drive around but does fall on the top end

the intercooler should help him out too.

$10 bucks and shipping right here

http://store.racing-solutions.....html

They got aluminized, stainless, and aluminum as well.

97spooncivic

thanks for that link, unfortunately, shipping came out to 11 bucks. tomorrow, im just gonna go to a semi-local shop and buy it.

EK k kay

Ahh dang that sucks. The shipping isn't bad if you buy a bunch of bends though. I bought a bend kit with 7 bends and shipping was around $15.

lilvr6t

did you get the jrc anodized black intercooler one? i got that one it's big and very good quality

97spooncivic

its a classic jrc 6 inch painted black

ICEMAN707

nice setup. let us know more on your progress. post more pics. i just recently did a mini-me on mine. what greddy kit is that, like what part number and price? thanks in advance. keep us updated.

97spooncivic

the greddy kit is the td04 15g greddy kit. bought it brand new with a turbo XS rfl bov and smic for 1400 shipped.

i did the vtec conversion for free with a spare vtec head i had at the shop i go to.

ill post more pics when i put my intercooler on

ICEMAN707

i have an adjustable cam gear. it allowed me to set cam timing to 0. is it true the cam timing is off by 4.75 degrees on the mini-me? i bought the adj. cam gear cus i was afraid of getting bent valves since this engine is an interferance engine and all. also, you have to run 93 octane right? cus 7-11 gas stations carry 91 octane - one of 5 grades instead of the usual 3.

97spooncivic

i also have an adjustable cam gear. im not sure about the timing, dont really remeber. Greddy recomends running 92 or higher octane. But in ca we only got 91, so i fill it up with 91
