Clevite Bearings Modified oil holes
Notched block and Girdle to clear rods and rod bolts
Chase bays Brake line tuck
Chase bays Wilwood Master cylinder
Chase bays Flexible clutch line
Shaved and Painted engine bay and wire tuck
Relocated battery

Here's some pictures of the build process... Enjoy.. i missed a few pictures in the process so i don't have pictures of the modified bearings or notching of the block


75mm Wiseco Pistons and Eagle Rods

Marked lines for notching the rods(also oil holes in bearings reamed with taper edge)

Notched girdle to clear rod bolts

Clearance between rod bolts

Rods and Pistons installed and Rings Gaped

Bondo and Shock Tower Prep Welded up holes

Primed up

Painted Engine Bay


Engine on engine stand

Engine installed





More pictures to come when im finished

 

Well over looked a few things and found something loose and tried to start it again and the car started right up! its alive Woot woot! more pics to come

 

Nice! Looking forward to more pics.

 

Looking Good!

 

Looks good, except it looks like you shaved wayyy too much off the girdle

 

figured id update this alil its been running over 3k miles with no problems... here's some pic's of it finally finished .....

 

where did u get downpipe/elbow? kinda new to turbo build trying one out for the first time having trouble finding one for my t28

 

That came with my edelbrock turbo kit. the setup of the downpipe is a weakness on this turbo; it chokes the turbo out on high boost. id recommend making ur own 3" downpipe. i have a bolt on 3" v-band adapter for when i upgrade my manifold and downpipe. You can buy them from edelbrock but im sure that will be quiet pricey.

 

It looks likes it's A/C compatible. Any reasons why you're without it?

 

the edelbrock turbo kit is a/c compatible... my a/c was ripped out a long time ago and i dont plan to keep this turbo manifold or downpipe when i turn up the boost. then it wont be a/c compatible anymore anyway.... my type S has A/C if its really that hot out. being my cars a 4door with all the windows down its not bad without a/c. it doesn't bother me much , but for others it may be a bigger issue.

 

that is probably the cleanest coolest head design i've ever seen.

nice build.

 

Very nice job.

 

i shaved the honda letters under the vtec on the valve cover.... thanks for the compliments guys....

 

i thought about going with an 3" elbow/downpipe made for the 240 maybe i could cut it up and weld to fit without being too low to scrape? i also only have a 2.5" exaust wouldnt that choke the turbo also? as far as i know t28 is oil and water cooled? correct me if im wrong. could you post pics of where the oil and water lines connect to the motor?? id like to see how its done.. like i said noob barely learning all of this stuff about turbo. my goals for the car is close to 250hp daily driver

 

pretty simple to run the lines. two coolant lines will be on the sides and your oil feed will be on the top and the drain will b to the bottom. its best to have this vertical. Also make sure u have the correct oil restrictor for the turbo or it will only last u a month before the bearings fail. the coolant lines don't matter which goes to what but i have mine setup to go to the small side nipple off the big coolant line that goes behind the thermostat housing (far left side of the manifold.) The other one goes to the IACV. you just bypass that coolant line to your turbo.

 

sounds pretty simple thx for the help. btw clean setup looks great did you do the wire tuck by your self?

 

late response but yes i did do the wire tuck myself.... i did the best i could
