The civic i traded off..

the teg when i got it.


previous owner 4 got to tighten the lug nuts and the wheel fell off.. lol

Jdm front end showed up today.. they pakaged it really nicely..






cut off the us upper support..deleted abs, and tucked the bay.. getting the bay prepped for new paint..

some very good progress.. bay looks clean.

 

nice ma g

 

What brand turbo manifold is that?

 

awesome progress. i wasnt expecting to see it this far progressed...keep it up!

 

ya thanks guys.. im kinda unemployed so all i do is work on this to get this thing ready to go for spring.. the manifold is a sls, it is awsome.... yesterday me and a friend bent up the brakelines, that was kind of a bitch..but turned out pretty good..

 

Nice job looking good...IdK if I missed it but are just using a stock ls bottom end? Still will be a fun ride

 

ya the bottom end it stock.. the head is built, stock ports, ctr cams.. im thinking at 12psi it should be pretty fun.. i had this same head, and turbo system on a stock b16 bottom end and it ran a 12.2 with gsr cams.. i just wanna run a mid to high 11 while still keeping it streetable.. it will be my daily driver.. its my only car other than a pos 80 f150..

 

ohh very interesting

 

got the brakes bled today, all 4 calipers repainted, and the axles in today.... its coming along.. hope full by friday ill be able to fire it up.. slowly but shurly getting the things to do list smaller and smaller..

 

hi..need some help,can i make my stock b16a2, turbo without changing anything,for example pistons?

 

ya if you wanted.. mine was stock other than head studs.... but if you arnt running over like 10 psi the stock head studs will work fine..m

 

so can i let the same head gasket also?

 

because i'm interested in 7 psi turbo kit, with walbro fuel pump and bigger injectors,i already have v-tec controler. will it work?

 

no need for vtec controller.. get crome and you can control vtec with that.. if your only planning 7 psi.. im taking it the turbo is fairly small.. so it get some 450s and tune it on crome and thats it.. so call up a local tuner and get it tuned..
