seriously?!?!? Please read the faq thread.https://honda-tech.com/forums/forced-induction-16/%2A%2A%2Aforced-induction-forum-faq%2A%2A%2A-1024174/
Where is your charge piping?
Do you have an intercooler?
I cant tell if u have an oil to ur turbo or not!

egvtec

If I go to the hardware store and get flex exhaust piping for boost lines will it work then? I thought you didnt need them if you ran a no intercooler system? I need it to boost. I'm supposed to race this dumb *** guy with a stupid super charged cobra mustang guy for pinks. haha new mustang here I come!

man way to start out a new year

sure doesnt look like any IC piping or any oil line to the turbo. Look at the FAQS that (jdm inc) posted for you and figure out everything you need to turbo your car. It looks to me like all you have is a short ram,manifold, turbo and fittings for the turbo.

someone said somthing about the turbo needing oil? the turbo started making a noise so i popped the hood and the turbo was glowing red, i dunno why? so will i just add oil and it will work? I wills have boost then? i am new to turbo.

Bonestock98GS

your going to mess you turbo and possibly your engine up. you need feed and return lines. Intercooler piping and an Intercooler. Your turbo ran hot because there isnt any oil running through it to keep it cool. You definitely need a TUNE. Keep like it is now and the only thing you'll be boosting is your car on the back of the tow truck because of lack of parts

i'm pretty sure it's a bad muffler bearing causing the turbo not to spool

how can some of you morons think he is serious?

boostedEF91

WOW x2... This is a good laughing thread. i mean the guy has no charge pipe. a intake on the throttle body. no oil lines. i think this guy is a joke. or this is a april fools joke in the middle of January

Bonestock98GS

cuz morons like you actually dont post tech help. If you arent going to post anything smart then GTFO the thread

boostedEF91

how do you have 2000+ posts and know nothing about a turbo. or even a civic..
i mean come on people!!!

Bonestock98GS

yea ur right, but how do you know the man just isnt learning about turbocharging? And dont criticize anyone that was trying to help. If anything the OP should get flamed but this is what a technical forum is for right? help right?

egvtec

So you guys are telling me that without charge piping from the turbo to an intercooler to the intake manifold that there will be no boost built?
Why? then there is no intake for the throttlebody to take in air?Im confused

boostedEF91

i'm glad to help. but it doesn't seem like this guy is for real.!

egvtec

Yeah rite what do you know about turbos ne ways.... you only have 665 posts.

boostedEF91

the turbo gives the throttle body air when it spools and blows the air from the turbo through the charge pipe through the intercooler then out the intercooler up to the throttle body into the intake down through the intake into the head. BANG.. Instant POWER. you need a oil line hooked up to the turbo. without oil going into the top of the turbo and draining back into the pain out the bottom of the turbo you got nothing

boostedEF91

Also you need a vacum line hooked up to the wastegate once you have all your other problems fixed for the wastegate to even open. !!!!

icucnme

Hahahahahah! are u serious man? Well first you should put rocks into your valvecover that will help with oil flow

boostedEF91

honestly i cant believe you bolted the turbo, manifold and wastegate up and actually thought it would be fast. theres more to it. if you knew anything. Just anything About a car/turbo you would know how to hook it up.

boostedEF91

no to mention you need some kind of engine management.. Bigger injectors.. and ALOT of other things. you my as well go buy that mustang your racing or just give him your car.

egvtec

Im glad you guys think this is a joke. I thought h-t was a forum to help you out. But i guess people rather bash me then help me. I think im gonna just swap in a d16y8 it will be as faster then the turbo y7 motor
For those that did help thanks alot. I just got the kit the other day and am new to boost so i didnt know exactly how to do it properly.
