Hi guys. i am a newbie to this site, so dont flame on me if i am posting in the wrong section. i read the posting rule already.

i pick up my 94 integra ls from fresno cali in jan 2009. its complete stock with no mods at all. i dd it for 6 months and didnt like the power at wot. so i have my spare 96 gsr motor that i swap into it to make a fun for the weekend. motor was bolt on with spray. i had fun with it for about a week and decide that i wanted more power. so now i am where i am going turbo.

some stuff i change was put on the lips, rear spoiler, rota slips, lower on kyb shock and no name adjustable coil, front and rear camber kit, complete sturt bar from top to bottem at front and rear. amber corner lights and just other little stuff.

Still need some more parts then i should be taking the motor apart and putting everything in.

next on my list is.
AEM wideband
Built the Head
Maybe sleeve my block
Upgrade Axles
Put motor together.

 

anyone think the head can hold 18psi plus

 

very nice goodluck

 

The head wont be an issue. Also, are you sure that T4 turbo is going to bolt up to that manifold?

 

thanks. i hope luck is on my side on this built.

 

so the valve and spring wont flow? yes the t4 turbo will bolt up with this manifold because the manifold is already custom cut and welded with a t4 plate. i already try bolting it up also and it fits without rubbing on the block or front frame.

 

bump

 

Interesting that it doesnt rub with that manifold. Anyway, you should have no issue with valve float unless you plan on revving past redline or push some extreme amount of boost. Most likely the sleeves will give out before you float a valve.

 

u should hot tank ur motor and clean up the engine bay a bit before u put the motor back in

 

yeah took a while to weld up the manifold to fit. you want to i can take some photo and show you how its welded up. the car will be only going to 8200 rpm. trying for 20psi if it can hold on a good tune.

 

yup. my motor is kinda trashy with wire everywhere and stuff like that. i will be cleaning it up and doing little wire tuck before everything goes back in.

 

BUMP+++++++++

 

WTF? Bump?

 

I think that means he likes it. LoL

 

^lol

anyone seen obx bb turbo in use before?

 

here goes a closer look at the custom mani and turbo together.



some more picture of other things

 

havent heard of anyone putting an obx turbo in their car yet. let us know how it goes.

 

Interesting, everything looks good though. You might hit a limiting factor with that manifold, but you should still be able to get 300-350whp out of it. Seems like my cast manifold like that ran out of gas around 330whp. Given I could've leaned it out and gotten 350-375 out of it, but I didnt care to do that. Good to see you have the S300 though.

Have a pic of the turbine (exhaust side) wheel?

 

Im not bashing, but it seems like you put a lot of money into your turbo and just used whatever manifold you could find. I had a log on my first car and very quickly wished i had gone with a nicer manifold. A good manifold will help a shitty turbo work better, but a bad manifold will hinder everything

 

i will once everything is up and running. hoping for the best of it since it cost so much.

 

so this manifold will be max out at that power? hmm. maybe a new manifold should be put on then. yeah the s300 is like a must because i dont want all my money running down the drain. i can take some picture of it later of the exhaust side .

 

can you tell me what manifold would be a good choice? i dont know what the bad side affect can be on this manifold since this is my first turbo car. but i would a lot of motor. just my first turbo built.

 

You should read through the Forced Induction forum, namely the FAQ (at the top of the forum page) and make sure you're not making any of the cardinal "nOOb" errors in your build. Good luck! If you need any help, you can feel free to PM me any questions. I have built several turbo setups for myself and others and would be able to guide you in the right direction.

 

i read a couple of those FAQ and they do help alot. thanks for the right guide line. i see that you use e85 on your car. there one close to where i live. do you think i am better off using that on my car once turbo?

 

haha yea i looks pretty messy, i think u should also get a new valve cover or repaint that one
