It looks like you will have problems with the oil return line with the turbo in that position. You should clock the turbo so the feed line it vertical and the return is facing down.

listen to bruno. if you don't, i see oil starvation in your future. i like seeing how creative people get with their boost setups when they're on a tight budget.

ya but with the manifold sitting the way it is what can i do without buying a new header or extremely moding that one

You dont have to buy a new manifold. The intake side of the turbo can be turned. When looking at the middle of the turbo next to the oil lines you will see about 4 or 5 bolts holding the turbo together, Remove the bolts and turn the compressor to where the return line is facing straight down and then tighten back the bolts.

i think your charge piping isnt going to hold. i think it will blow apart. doesnt look strong enough imo. good luck with the build though.

Looks good so far

do you remember the sellers name on ebay you got the manifold from? was it a store?

Yeah, remove the bolts on the exhaust housing, clock it to where the oil drain will be vertical, then loosen the bolts that hold the compressor and rotate it to where you need it.

Is that a flexible charge piping? I'm curious to see how well that works once you get the car going... I've always wondered about that!

[93_f22aky]

ok i will have to turn it then it wont mess up the seels in the turbo or anything (i dont know alot about the internal stuff in a turbo) umm the header i dont rember off the top of my head up it fit well and seems like it is of good quaility

thankx for the support and help keep it coming


o and the felx pipe is woorking well as of now my boss said its what they use for charge pipinging on mililary hummers and he said they but like 15 psi threw a hummer for shits and giggels and it feld up fine... but if i have any problems ill replace it

[deevergote]

Cool. When I boost my hatchback, I'll have to consider that.

cool project dood. Can't wait to hear how it runs!

[93_f22aky]

fuel injectors are here

ok so the guy shipped them on saterday and they where here today awsome.
so i put them in and the the new ob1 chiped ecu in . had al lil truble starting it at first but thats cuz there is no fuel in them. seconed time i tried to start her she started right up the ecu seemed to be running good along with the injectors no leeks or anything. so i let her run like 2 or 3 min and i whent for a drive. all i can say is wow finaly got to see what she can do. the boost control isnt working right so i will have to mess with it right now it made like 13 or 14 psi with was bad ass but i didnt want to run that all the time i will make a vid tonight and try to get it on here later tonight.



i still need to get her tuned and the exaust work done its like a 4 or 5 inch down pipe write now so its a lil loud but its nice to see all my hard work finally pay off now i am going to go race my buddys 2000 accord auto. he almost took me last time i raced him but this time ill leave him in the dust
