I did it the same way. And he can mount the ic before he knows where he is going to mount the turbo. All he has to do is route the pipes to it.

 

dude get off my back about it

 

looks good, when it gets warmer i'll make my own thread with the parts i have laying around here.

 

lol, I was thinking the same thing.

 

yeah its way to cold to start putting my car together

 

where did you end up buying the piping from?

 

+2

 

I removed the battery to relocate it in the trunk and I also cut off the battery tray and cut a 3 inch hole for the intercooler pipe to pass.





wastegate gaskets


downpipe gasket


turbo transition flange

 

 

Not too much progress since the last post, you cut a hole.
Are you going to continue to post little things like this or wait untill you get decent chunks done and update bit by bit?
Just curious.

 

alright enforcer calm down.

 

Hey good luck ! hope everything works out good, where is the turbo going to be mounted ? and what kind of IC is that ? so far looks nice and clean !

 

Those parts are purty!

 

Wow some people are impatient.

 

Also where did you get the downpipe gasket from. I need one bad.

 

the turbo is going to be mounted pretty much above the front area where the transmission is next to where the battery was. The intercooler is just off of ebay.

That was one of the first thing I put on too.(intercooler) You can get the pipes started where you can connect later! I see nothing wrong with that!

 

its getting there. I just work on it in my spare time, there is really no rush

 

thats looks kinda like a knockoff ebay garrett... is it?

 

LOL, who said i was enforcing anything and when did I get excited? I mearly asked a question.
I was just curious to know if you were planing on posting a pic of every little part you aquired vs. doing periodic updates with a couple of pics, and then a couple of more of them installed.

 

greddy type rs blow off valve

 

I have that same bov, it sounds like a turkey on boost from 6-10psi...no lie. Once you get past the 10psi it has a flutter to it. In all honesty I won't buy another one I really don't like it, kinda annoying.

 

LMAO lol

 

The good thing is I haven't had any issues with compressor surge, and when you buy a bov that's what you should be buying one for not the sound. If you can live with the sound your turbo will stay "happy".

 

Sweet i wish i had the dough to drop a turbo in my max. Ill let the airforce pay for it lol

 

I really dont know what you are talking about. I've heard it in person many times and it doesnt sound like that

 

I wish I had a video of it, it does. It could vary from turbo to turbo, but so far I have had a 60-1, gt35r, and now a t61, and they have all had the turkey sound to them(little variance). I know a guy with a civic who has the same bov and it does sound different.

Its not as bad in the video as it is in person, still sounds like a bird. That was 6psi

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/b...82000517d7.htm 15psi

Other people that have rode in my car have said the same thing.

 

yup both of those video's suck. and you don't have to hear it every day so I don't see why you care.

 

Your right this is your build with your car, just giving my opinion on the bov you selected. Though I do have to hear it when ever I choose to drive that car. Good luck with your build.

 

Those vids did suck as far a BOV sound goes, but as far as this being a build documentary IDK, this is what i call a build documentary,

dude I'm not going to tell you one more time GET OFF MY BACK ABOUT IT if you don't like how i'm doing my thread stay out. I don't care how you would like to see a thread I could care less what you think!

 

calm down. Im not trying to be an ****, I just thought a build thread would be more interesting if it actually was showing a build in stages or some detailed progress vs a parts pictorial.
doc2278 has a nice setup. I would have liked to have seen his build up.
Its a public forum, if you dont want me to post, then dont create the thread.

 

ya see the thing is I don't care what you think. yes it is a public forum and you are entitled to your opinion but once again I don't care what you have to say or think I'm not going to change anything. there is no set way that you have to follow to make a thread get used to it I'm gong to do things how I want to. and like I said before if you don't like it get out.

 

absoundlab if you don't want people giving their opinion on things, don't post. as long as people are being civil, there is no reason they cannot post in any thread they choose and express their opinion.

 

, no need to be giving everybody attitude when they dont seem to agree with the OP's train of thought

 

Haha this is the reason why I didn't start my build thread yet - because I didn't build yet!

 

well there is no reason for him to be b1tch1ng about what he is. I could understand is he is giving his opinion about the parts or something but not the lay out of the thread.

 

I take it your a 5 spd right.

 

yes
