im trying to do this for my little brothers car....what the info on a cx manifold? just slap the turbo on? is that what the adapter plate is for?
what turbo are u using?

 

Very nice
I love to see custom setups.

 

 

how's the performance of the 14b? I got a T-25 for cheap ($85) but I was really lookig for a 14b or cheap 16g. Where from and how much did you get your starion i/c for?

 

 

nice show us a pice list

 

Do you happen to have a picture with the front bumper on? That's a starion FMIC I assume?

 

Yes, that is the Starion IC.

 

i dont have a pic with the bumper yet due to the bumper being damaged previously.

 

how come the starion ic is soo shiny? being its a 10 + old ic

 

ever heard of poslishing?

 

I had the stock locations capped and added new ones. I spent $75...some welders wanted 150-200.

 

I picked up my 14b for $125 off of dsmtrader.com and intercooler for $75 off of recycler.com.

The 14b pulls great

 

What did you do for the downpipe? Im currently building a kit and I was wondering how hard it was to make the downpipe, I've heard that it can be a pain. At first I wanted to use a t3 with a revhard/drag manifold so I can keep the a/c but I heard with that turbo the exaust downpipe configuration aims it toward the block or radiator. So now I'm thinking to just ditch my a/c and use the 14b/hf manifold setup, seems like it would be less of a headache this way. What(if any) difficulties did you have with building this kit and installing it?

Btw: can you list which pipes you ordered from jc whitney since I'll be ordering mine soon? I'd REALLY appreciate that

awesome kit, the design of the the endtanks arent the best and would flow better if you mounted the new openings near the stock one... but other than that, awesome setup.

 

what did you do for the fittings on the coolant?? brass fittin right htere you have hooekd up, did you just pick that up from home depot? is that fornt part coolant in or coolant out ? or does it not matter, because im helpin a friend do a DIY turbo kit for his 89 civic hatch also and i'd like some input, thanks

 

for a custom kit, it is really clean!!

how much are you boosting?

Constructive critisism: those are TERRIBLE end tank designs to use for a side fed cooler... I know you simply cut off the original piping and relocated it.. but to be honest, the flow with the current setup is far from efficient.

 

How much did it cost to modify the ls rods?

 

any computer management??

 

as i remember, there is no modification needed for ls rods
it fits tight, i think

corret me if i amwrong

 

YOU'RE WRONG!

j/k i think though the rods DO need to be modded to fit. I think the wrist pins don't fit on the rods... some crap i forget now
