the wifes EK civic - d16y8 turbo

[lucas]

Another package this morning



Glue still on the oil cap from where I took the 'mugen' badge off.

[lucas]

Got a gear knob retainer for the gap in-between the gear gaitor and the knob



Took the original one off



And fitted the new one as low as I could.
Right where the shaft gets thicker (haha).




I know, I need to get a mega valet.. Once it's not being used to store all the tools lol!

Anyway, because the retainer is so low the knob (haha) won't meet up with the retainer :/




Any excuse to get the grinder out haha!
put up stuff to protect the seats .







Perfect

so have you driven it with the turbo yet????

[lucas]

Yeah last year before all the engine bay was done.
Went pretty well but after the remap it will be awesome!

Shouldn't be long now, need to sort out some wiring issues and get the arches, breaks and tyres done

[mercutio]

so have you gotten a different turbo?

[lucas]

Not yet, still trying to sell this one to fund a smaller turbo for quicker spool.
Got my eyes on a garret t28

[mercutio]

cant be that hard to sell a turbo can it how much is it

[lucas]

Haha that's what I thought !
It's coz nobody wants an unbranded turbo, even though it works perfect. only asking £200 with the downpipe and wastegate etc

[mercutio]

i see what you mean

[mercutio]

is it a t3??
