Hey, Gunna post some pics of my car and also ive almost got all the pieces for my turbo build!!

This is how it all started, completely standard. This is the earliest pic i can find, it didnt have them wheels on!



Then it went through a series of changes, swappin and changin' things, until it now stands like this...








And then i get it into my head that it needs to be boosted! So i started researchin and then i started ordering! Im not gunna post everything i have unless someone requests, but all is im waiting for really is the oil feed and return kit.

T3 Turbo


RC 440cc Injectors


ARP Head Studs


OBX Cam Gear


Oil Catch Can


Wastegate


Wastegate Dump Tube


3" SS Downpipe


Cast Log Manifold


Crower Stage 2 Camshaft, springs and retainers


Intercooler


Blow off valve (BOV)


Will be updating soon with videos!! If (fingers crossed) it all goes to plan!!



Got a couple of gauges in there now

Not really feeling the styling but the turbo compents look very good indeed.

Fair play for upgrading the camshaft, springs & retainers

Keep us updated.

Your from the UK? Im worried about my emmisions after the turbo install, wondering if it will pass the MOT. How did you get on with yours?

UK Accord

My emissions were fine.

Get a P28 with Crome or Hondata and you will be fine. Remember it is only done at idle.

I'm from Bristol, UK

DreXeL_UK

I'm from Bristol UK too, about to start my turbo install on my ITR soon. Basics are a Darton sleeved built B18C6 bottom end, and a T3/T04E 56t .63 turbo.

I'll be starting a new thread soon with all the details

UK Accord

Drexel_UK pm me some more details of your car and wherebouts in Brizz you are.

JoePSI

This Drag turbo manifold will have boostcreep issues (notice that it only relieves one runner of exhaust gases, the other three are free to still flow to the turbo) if you decide to upgrade. With your current t3 setup I don't think you will have any issue.. BUT keep this in mind.

lol this guy is going to steal your ***** when you finish it....

i like it but trash the hood and headlights....

DreXeL_UK

I can't PM yet dude, I'm still on my n00b trial period

JoePSI

haha, is the trial period still 20 days? If so that sucks.

katoeh2o

do you plan to have a/c with your setup. I have been considering this manifold but I would like to see how it fits with a/c.

DreXeL_UK

3 days IIRC.

You've been watching too many episodes of NYPD

Thanks for the advise on the manifold, ive heard the term boost creep alot... and i dont even know what it means!? ha. So im not bothered about it... i just wanna get boosted!

Dr. D-Series

Im running 23 psi on this manifold through a Holset h1c and dont have ANY creep issues at all all the way to 8400 rpm.

Datalogging showed extremely steady boost after full boost was reached.

This is just my experience, not trying to be an ***.

civic_turbo_wannabe

What catch can system are you running? please give details
Theres so many options i dont know which to choose.
I think im gunna gut the PCV valve and run that to the tank and then from the tank to the pre turbo pipe for a bit of suction. Then just put a breather on the valve cover.

Also are you running 11psi on stock pistons and rods?
Are you using a stock map sensor? cheers

civic_turbo_wannabe

Theres no air con in my car mate. At a guess i would think that type of mani is your best option to keep the ac

95jeremie

that or a log

and just so you know
boost creep- the waste gate (WG) relieves un needed pressure to maintain a certain boost pressure (psi). if the WG can't release the needed pressure to hold steady psi at X than you will have boost creep. basically pressure is still building on the hot side of the turbo thus creating additional boost. so you might have a 10psi spring in you WG but creep to 12 or 13 psi. with that manifold design it's more likely to have boost creep issues because it's only relieving pressure off one runner/cylinder not all 4. so the other 3 will still produce "pressure".

hope you understand i tried to simplify

as for your build... it should be **** once it's done

RuS-uk

nice to see some sohc boost!

I'll also be using the same manifold. How do you guys keep a/c with this thing? Do you guys have a downpipe already made?

4potnick

no a/c

RIGHT! because your setup is the only setup running this manifold.

FYI,
My friend had this manifold on a mildly built B16 running running a 57trim .63 a/r @14lbs and it would boost creep to over 17lbs. I also had this manifold and got rid of it, <u>boostcreep does occur with this manifold.</u>

Dr. D-Series

Im not saying this manifold will not boost creep.

But mine is totally steady at 23 psi on a d16.
