My Daily Driver Turbo Build, NEW PICS OF BUILD/INSTALL POSTED! Options

[boosted185]

First things First. This is about a Honda Civic....Don't hate...yet!

Haha, alright guys, SOME of you already know about this, most of you don't. I figured I might as well post a thread about my Civic Turbo build. Now I know most of you will stop reading at this point. Please don't be that close-minded. A Turbo build is a Turbo build, reguardless of make. As of right now my engine is done at the machine shop (got the call this morning) and is ready to be picked up, as soon as I sell one of my testicles I will pay for it and get my motor back! The block consists of YCP .020" over pistons with Forged I-beam rods. ACL Race bearings, APR head studs, and perfect circle rings. The block was bored, honed, line honed, and decked to accomodate the new guts. I have the oh-so-common eBay t3/T04E 57 trim with a 63 A/R. 3" downpipe mated to a stock cat, then 3" catback from there. Factory head for right now. I did order a custom thickness head gasket from commetic that too them 4 week to make...quite irritating if you ask me. Precision 550cc LI injectors with a 93 Accord resistor box. I am running Water/Meth injection (Devils Own)...Most of the Honda community doesnt really run the water/meth so I'm going to see what I can do to make my build better! ACT Stage III copper ceramic 6 puck with a Fidanza 7.5lb flywheel. Um...I'm sure I'm forgetting some tid-bits of information, but those of you who have done turbo setups before, please feel free to ask questions. I have been working on cars for the past 13 years and this is not my frist Rodeo....QUESTIONS and COMMENTS are greatly appreciated! Those of you who have NOT done turbo setups and whatnot on N/A engines, just sit back and enjoy the ride, and HOPEFULLY someone will say something that you can take and apply to your own car!

I will have some pics as soon as my engine gets home from the machine shop!

There's nothing wrong with Honda's I have a 94 civic dx as my dd and an 01 Acura Integra GSR as my wife's dd. What year is the Civic and is it a coupe or hatch, and what motor are you using, B16 B18 LS OR GSR OR TYPE R. We need to know these things lol..
