ok enough with small talk, heres pics










DAY TWO

wrapping up brake, fuel lines for engine bay paint



heres the z you can see in the first pic-

 

If you're baller enough to go motec, go buy 1 decent turbo and save yourself the headaches.

Are you using the B18B head or a B16/B18C head?

 

Everything sounds good except for the twin turbo's.

 

twin turbos are for v6 and bigger engines imo. there are a few hmt twin turbo cars that have romped the streets, but thats with t25's.

 

Twin tubo is cool sounding, but piontless on a four cylinder motor, the exhaust gas pulses are not enough for twins to spool up any time soon before 6k or so....... Even if the sizes of the turbos is staggered, it will still be too much for a small motor.

 

just couldn't agree more with SIred91

 

i couldnt agree more about just buying one single turbo.

we also want it to be a wow factor when opening the hood.

we will see boost before 4k.

we got the motor back from getting cleaned- looks good

 

good luck man but im going with everyone else just go with a single turbo itll save you a headache.

 

If you like attention then go for it, But Im curious to see the outcome of this.

 

looks good but im with the rest of them i would go single turbo instead of two.

I park as hard as diamonds y0!........

 

not bashing here but, anyone who knows hondas will think the twin turbo idea lame, and those that think its cool GENERALLY are not the ones i would want complimenting my car. my 2cents. but yeah im in for the build

 

those pics make me miss my rusted ole crx that I was robbed of

keep up the good work

 

In for progress!

That pretty muched summed up my thoughts.
Actually have some more thoughts...it's just too early in the morning

 

if you're truly trying to make a legitmate drag car, stay away from the twin turbo idea. I've seen it on inline fours and its stupid. Ridiculous amount of plumbing, even more heat and even less power. play it safe, go with what works and get the real issue that all drag hondas have sorted out.... HOLESHOTS.

this reminds of that one show car ..years and years ago..it was black..had a twin turbo setup on a b18 i believe. I'm gonna find the picture now...

 

im in for this

It's gonna be more like an "ummm... Ok..." factor.

People are going to be more wowed by the fact a 12 second CRX with a one piece front end has a turbocharged B-series in it.

The only wow factor there is of a TT Civic is held in the welds of the manifold. It's either "Wow, someone is a damn good fabricator/welder" or "Wow, someone shitted those pieces together". There isn't a real "wow" to having 2 turbos hanging off the front, more like "Y".
You'll make more power with one sufficient turbo. I always go "wow" when the turbo is bigger than the valve cover personally, but anyway.
It makes me ask the question, are you building a hardparker drag car?

You could see boost before 4k on may turbo setups. On a drag car I really wouldn't be too worried about seeing boost at 4k...I'd be more concerned about what's really going on after 4k.

not knockig the build, just trying to understand the reasoning

 

word, i have visions of $300 tow hooks and scented gas fumes when i read this thread
