the wifes EK civic - d16y8 turbo

[Rudelude]

You have some perseverance mate..will be very unique when finished... Like building a new car !

[lucas]

Perseverance ... Or just too poor to get it finished quickly haha.


Yeah its already quite unique due to the design I've went for, not only thinking about a neat set up but making sure the flow is going to be smooth and short from the turbo

Hopefully the new colour will set the car off and give it a completely new look

Got some more fittings and a 3" gasket for th v-band

Took a while to figure out the thread sizes etc for everything but hopefully i got it all right.

Going out just now to for everything

God damn !
Wrong threads, and i wouldnt have fit on thanks to the compressor housing.. And im not taking it off just to fit it lol



Honestly, ive spent more money than what the turbo cost just to get all the fittings.. And now ive just had to order an m14 to an6 straight and an an-6 to an-6 adapter to bring it out past the housing and to give it more clearance as its going to be too tight if it was to screw right in




But it does look like the water lines I got fit perfectly, good job i bought the longer banjo eye for the bottom of the rad





Also made an attempt of temporally holding the ic in place by hanging it on rope untill i can get someone out to weld brackets up, which helped me get the pipes on etc.. Sitting squity just now but nothing i can do untill i get it mounted solid





Started to rain so had to call it day at this point, once the other bits come i can hopfully get it fired up !

Figuring out fiddly bits like that is a total pita. Trying to suss out the drain arrangement for my wash tank is being incredibly difficult!

[lucas]

Yep ! Total pita indeed lol.
Its anoying tring to figure out the thread pitches etc, ive had to do some backward research and then a lucky guess on the radiator banjo.

Hopfully the bits i bought for the water return on the turbo will extend enough to get a tight fit without being to close to anything

What trouble are you having with yours ?
