This pass weekend myself and snake01 installed a drag kit on a buddies 99 Si. Just thought I'd share some pics

BEFORE:


A variety of "special" tools were used on the job. This included a BFH, some lotion, and of course, the SAWZALL



Turbo secks:


Giant screaching bug (Kayteedid sp?) that attacked us and I caught with a retractable claw:


Some random drunk dude who passed out nearby:


FINISHED!



Now you get to answer some questions.

1) How the hell is the air filter supposed to fit in here? As you can see the only way we could do it was to relocated the coolant res. We ended up putting it in the corner in the stock airbox hole.


Even still, the BOV rubs against the filter

2) Has anyone had to shorten some of the IC pipes to keep them from hanging too low?

3) The oil return bung on the pan is NOT welded above the normal oil level. It's near the top but still when removed a good quart and a half drained out. Is this going to cause problem?


Thanks

Wow must be nice to have a turbo. Oh well maybe i'll get the one i payed for from IP. Just maybe

 

I wish i could get turbo secks

 

did you put the charge pipe on the wrong way? i thought the bov was supposed to sit higher and closer toward the intake manifold.

as for the air filter, you should be able to connect the pipes in a way where the filter goes over the radiator hose.

 

Well I'm told there are differences between the Integra and Civic drag kits. That was the only way the charge pipe would fit, and the airfilter as well

 

is that an r2d2 bov ????

 

there is suppose to be another piece of pipe to push the filter over near the stock box location...

1.6L + boost =

 

Was it the drunk guy who ziptied everything down in the engine compartment? Install looks good, try repositioning the filter so it doesnt hit the BOV, you can also loosen the clamp on the throttle body and try to move the piping so the filter doenst hit the BOV, its just a process of playing with it till it fits good... i can already hear the sexual jokes on that statement coming.

dude, zipties oW3nZ yOo!

 

He paid the extra money for the MSD 6A in the unpainted box that says SCI, he might as well buy some .05 cent sheet metal screws so it don't rattle around and crap out on him!!!

by the looks of ur turbo setup and the other one..ur charge pipe looks like its in backwards...turn it around so the bov is closer to the tb..

 

Dont forget to put the clamp back on the coolant line

Did you have to shave the block at all to get it in? Ive installed a few rev hard kits on Si's and the fitment was CRAP, wondering how drags is.

 

Haha actually yea we put that clamp back on but forgot the TB one on the intial test drive. Coolant leaking down all over the headgasket thought that it fried olo.

Fit shitty as well. I'm pretty sure the charge pipe fit in only that way but I'll screw around with it again. Either way, there doesn't appear to be a way to fit in the air filter without moving the coolant res with the pipes provided.

we had to shave.

 

woah. what part of the block are you shaving?

 

What BOV is that?

 

i think its an r2d2. can someone verify?

 

Blitz super seq i think? Don't remember but it is a blitz

 

you are what?

 

****** blitzed
