oh, and also... This thread is worthless without pics

Would that be on pump gas? I think you can make a bit more than 380 with that set-up

Yeah, I agree, I think I could make a little more, but we'll see! What she makes, she makes. Its still a daily driver, it will just be a pretty quick daily driver

Nice! One of my buddies has an EG hatch. He swapped a D16B into it. It's pretty quick- eats my GT up. Unfortunately....

As long as you don't turn into him, you're fine by me.

( We aren't THAT good of friends...)

GOING TO PICK UP MY MOTOR IN ABOUT 45 MINUTES!!!! Hopefully will have pics posted by the end of the day!!!!!

[boosted185]

alright, so a quick update. As you can see, I didn't get the pics posted like I had hoped. Brent's camera died. My ECU went to columbus today to get chipped and a base tune put on it. We gotta roll Brent's Celica out of the garage, get mine IN the garage and start the heart transplant. Both the Tangerine and my Civic should be done sometime this week...well...they BETTER be done this week, we have a show next weekend to attend! haha. I'll post pics as soon as I can.

Alright, here are some pics of the build and install. I didnt really take as many as I had hoped, but you'll get the gist!

Old Engine Out.



New Engine.
Devcon in block for a block guard and .020 YCP Pistons

Oil Sandwich adapter with Oil PSI switch

Head on the block with new Honda Oil and Water pumps

Precision 580cc Low Imp. Injectors

Fidanza 7.5 lb Flywheel

ACT Stage III Copper Ceramic 6 Puck

Quick mock-up of Turbo/manifold/wastegate

FMIC setup


Gauges (I need to get a pic of them lit up)


More to come. Once its tune and I can get it out of the garage, I'll get some better pics with the bumper on and everything!

That engine is clean!
Also that IC piping is very very nicely routed - killer job bro!

Sorry, I accidentally posted under Brent's sn. But yeah. It was cheaper for me to just turbo my d-series the right way to run more than 10psi than it would have been to swap in a B-series and then boost that motor. I will be able to run 20+ psi on the setup that I have which is plenty for a street Honda. Not to mention not a lot of people really do turbo D-series any more, well, that is if you ignore the turbod16.com forums

good stuff cam!
wish they made a manifold like that for the 5s crowd!

[Stambo]

Nice set up!

Oh, I know Manny. I was pretty pleased with it. The flange that mates to the head is a little thick, but I'm still able to use the factory bolts/nuts.

I think it's about time to get this thread back up and going! I havent been able to do to much to her, seeing as how I now work at Tweak'd Performance, and Doc has a strict "no honda" policy LOL just kidding, but seriously.
