Well i actually finished my setup 2 weeks ago but wtdr wouldn't let me upload pics. What a damn weekend that was. We started at 11:30am friday and finished at 4:30 am on that same saturday. Yes that's 17 straight hours of work. The only break we took was to go buy another air rachet, grinder, cutter from harbor frieght and that's it. But it was well worth it. There was a total of about 8 guys that worked on it through out the course of the day/nite. It would have taken a shorter time but we had to measure/cut/ and weld the pipes. The only problem we ran into was the stock header didn't wanna detatch itself from the rest of the exhuast so we had to cut the damn thing off.

Now time for the pics:

Here's what we started out with


My friend brian who was doin all the weldin for us. (He don't need no stinking gloves )

What u guys think???

 

sweet... u just saved a ton on labor!!

does the s200 have a boost controlller? or u planning on getting one soon?

 

awesome that another h23 turbo project has been completed! I can't wait to get mine done. I just need that damn manifold But anyway, you've got a very similar setup to what I have planned. Install looks great. Have you done this before or was it your first turbo install? What kind of welder did you get and how much did you pay? Again, great job. It looks clean. Can't wait to see how you dyno

 

Looks good man. Congrats to you!

 

Looks good ......you sure got alot of willing friends to help you, which is always nice.

 

kewl

 

sweet man. how much did everything cost? just so i could get a ruff amount to start saving.

 

no the hondata s200 doesn't come with a boost controller. I don't really plan on gettin one until i put in my new motor. that way i wont be tempted to up the boost and blow my motor.

The welder is a lil cheap mig 100 from harbor frieght that cost about 150. Well i guess you could say this is my second install. My first car was a civic that i paid a shop 1k to install it. But emissions came around and i had to take everything back to stock, then put it back to turbo to sell it

Everything cost me about 27-2800. The key is to buy the stuff when its in a group buy
