Setup

Block:
B16A1 EDM
USDM GSR pistons (to lower compression)
stock rods

Head :
stock B16
GSR cams
stock valves
valve springs
victorX intake manifold

Turbo setup :
Innovative GTS61E custom .63 stage 4 turbine
Ebay 3" intercooler
self made top mount
3" downpipe

misc:
Crane cams Hi6 ignition (used for 2 step launch control)
MSD blaster HVC coil
RC450 injectors for now (till my PT1000cc's get here)
walbro 255LPH
Golden eagle fuel rail


This is where it all began
I bought carbed 93 civic EX with D15B2 engine. (Don't know where it came from)liked the challange of the carb to efi swap.
Just hate that rust proofing stuf in the enginebay.


Got a cheap deal on an EDM B16A1



rebuilt and Swapped the B16A into the civic


Self made top mount manifold.
sat in the rain a few days LOL.

Nice job

 

Yeah mad props bro, a real DIYer..........F**k yeah

 

took about a year to complete.
opinions and comments welcome.

 

id ditch the current radiator in favor of at least a dual core....and also get some worm clamps for those hoses....you dont want to be blwoin anything in the cooling system...otherwise things look dam good!

 

Great job.Is that a stock mani cut and modded into a top mount?What kinda numbers are you shooting for?None the less it looks pretty bad *** DIY style.

 

no the manifold is built of sc40 pipes.
shooting for something in the 360 range.

Many people use single cores with no problems at all. No need to waste money upgrading parts that may not be bad in the first place.

 

looks hot to me.

 

Looking good man.
Nice Welds on the aluminum piping

mmk....but dont complain to me when you blow a hg and have to tear it all apart once again....a simple $60 upgrade to a dual core will save tons of headaces....sell the used one for 30...and call it a day....

While this is true, I still think its a good idea. I mean ****, whats another $70 dollars (what I spent on mine, brand new).

 

I used the radiator just to start and brake in the engine....ordering a dual core next week. I'm surprised at how well the temps are holding.

 

so what was low budget? lol

 

agreed i think he was joking
this is a baller kit, you get a for claiming "budget"
for good work, good kit, good power

homemadeturbo.com in case youve never seen a budget setup

 

Good ish.

 

Low buget :

-Ob0 B16A swap cable tranny
- low compression OEM pistons.
- Selfmade turbo mani
- EF rear diskbrake conversion

Baller :

- VictorX
- ITS GTS61E turbo
- kevlar braided hoses and AN fittings

 

LOL

im not makin crazy power.. but i am making 322whp on my setup and i have no overheating issues whatsoever with this half rad....

its not the half radiator than concerns me...its the fact that it is a single core....not a dual core...notice the size of it....hell even stock b16's come w/ a dual core which work extremly well on 90% of boosted setups.....here he has a single core...w/ heavy boostin at approx 400whp i see some slight vary in ECT temps but w/ this rad...he has half the surface area therefor half the coolin capacity...

Again the single core is just a temporary solution.
