3rd vid was a street start 5-40 run with my vtec activated slight pause then a 40-60 run AGAIN sorry but I don't have a camera man. I just wanted to show that it hooks decently when its wet and I'm only doin bout 5lbs of boost

What components did you use to put together this setup?

 

heres a few more pics of the turbo & hf manifold
heres a shot of my flexible boost pipe

heres a shot inside, its a smooth bore wire supported, will not collapse heat resistant does not distort under boost

this is just an example of how ez this tubing to work with

 

i think thats the most rigged turbo setup ive ever seen!

I'm using a rhb5 turbo from a mazda mx-6


hf manifold

BMC raceplates rhb5 adapter (this adapter makes the install 100% easier!!!)



vortech 12:1 fmu

missing link with a homemade cheater, i got inventive @ 2am & I needed to stop the code 5 & code 3 I kept gettin from my ecu so I used some leftover vacuum tube, nuts, washers, clamp screws, some rtv to seal it & voila... it works

and yes I am using a block guard( I know this a touchy subject) been good for a while now

oh and a 1st gen dsm BOV(its pictured above in the 1st post)
I hope I didnt forget anything

actually this is the most rigged boosted wagon setup I've ever seen, I'm sure you'd agree
jus check the pics on the boost gauge ghetto fab-0-lous
btw he was my inspiration :tear in the corner of eye: (drip) (sniffle)

 

looks good, man.
Are you runnning an intercooler?

 

man that looks like a lot of fun...
and are you sure thats a 1st gen DSM BOV? I have never seen one like that before...

 

sick setup, must scare them other civics.

 

so how many psi of boost are you running? Also how do you like the 12:1 fmu? Any problems running rich or anything?

 

you are an inspiration to wagon owners everywhere

 

 

yes it looks ghetoo, but it's sweet nonetheless

 

heh, looks good man!

 

i love it

 

no not yet but it will be a 1st gen dsm side mount

yep, it came with a cover on it & I found it @ the junkyard & I had to have it, blends well with the other black piping I got

well, only when they keep fuggin with me
but otherwise no, it still looks very stock on the outside so most peeps drive by me and laugh but then its like PPPSSSSHHHTT vrrooooom

I am runnin 5-6 lbs so far not alot but its fun to hit on a roll, plus in the rain it OWNZ
12:1 is pig rich but no bad reactions so far, better rich than lean
if I look back out my rear view mirror I can see the fuel dump(btw,no cat either) after boost

thx, actually my inspirations have been H-T, Homemadeturbo, Turbowagonman & the Yahoo board

thx again

theres no other way 4 me maing... I'm broke as a joke

like I said homemadeturbo.com has been a MAJOR inspiration to me.
I've read alotta your posts AbaZ, I plan on postin my car there soon with props to the board. You guyz deserve it !!!
btw those lips on that avatar chub me out

thx

I still got a few more plans, luckily its beeen holdin up.
wow what a blast to drive, I shoulda did this 2yrs ago

 

forgot 2 mention that I'm doin a mbc soon,gonna strip some weight & its off to the track

 

very nice..

 

thanks I just got my downpipe welded up & its a friggin twizzler, omg.
I also have to figure out why I'm gettin this hesitation problem

 

What do you mean by hesitation Problem? And is it a certain RPM?

 

Hahahah sweet, now you have a base to work from. You can drive that around while saving for some new piping, better fuel management and a intercooler...

I likes though, dont see many boosted AWD wagons

 

yo...where's that vid?!

hope to have a few more soon, gotta get the peeps @ work to hold the digicam

yeah savin that money now, gotta go forged also. Need better fuel management, piping, and an IC . I agree.
I have an intercooler jus need 2 hook it up. I know of maybe 3-4 boosted wagons so far. I don't think any are automatics. I am also gettin some blow by, I may need to goto a thicker oil than 5w30 My compression & leakdown were real good last time I checked. I may have to go back & get em checked again, plus I need to hit the dyn to see what this bee-yacchh puts out.

yeah kinda like bout 3000 or 3500 rpms, doesn't happen all the time either(???) it feels like a bog then nothing no prob, never had that until a I had a good downpipe welded in, weird to me since I've never had a boosted car before.
Blacktop211 do you know what it could be?

Btw, what does everyone recommend for fuel management? I really want to do this right.
right now I'm using the FMU, missing link & my stock ecu.
