turbo problems!!! And my new seats :)

Ok well i've been in the process of turboing my CR-X and it's almost finished. What a mission it's been, everything is custom and if I was to do this again I would definitely be buying an off the shelf kit!

Things that have gone wrong:

Oil feed connections were wrong size - I have a T28 Garrett turbo and they don't use a standard thread so had to get one custom made. Same for fitting to the oil pressure sensor location, needed to be remade

I have a Link ECU which hasn't worked properly and had to be sent back to the manufacturer for replacement therefore no time for tuning YET!

Oil drain hole was tapped into the block by the guy that did my piping....and well for some weird reason he made the hole a non standard size! Needed a custom bung to fit!

And well there are lots of other little things too, which has meant a simple turbo kit has turned into a major mission! I just hope it's worth it!!

Oh yeah here are my seats :)

You should post some pics of your set-up. I remember like a year ago you had posted you bought a bunch of turbo stuff, but diddent mentain anything else.

How many PSI are your going to run?

Seats look good toO!

Yeah it was about a year! I've been slack and hadn't done anything to it, until my clutch blew so I decided what the hell and dug myself in deep with a turbo conversion.

The kit I bought originally was crap...I think i used 2 gaskets, sold the manifold and used the extra injector and that's about it! The cooler I lent to a friend who subsequently sold it with his EF9, and well it's all been custom ever since. Still hasn't run yet, so it's in the tuners getting.....tuned but ready by mid Jan.

So yeah my parts list so far is as follows:

 Jap spec ZC 1590cc DOHC 16 Valve PGM-Fi
 9.5:1 compression ratio
 T28 Nissan Pulsar GTi-R turbo running 7psi boost
 Custom exhaust manifold
 Custom piping including exhaust dump
 Samco hoses
 Custom bar and plate intercooler
 Walbro 225l/hr fuel pump
 Extra S4 RX7 turbo injector
 TurboLink fuel/boost/ignition controller
 HKS Super Sequential blow off valve
 Redline oil breather
 Eagle plug leads
 Battery in boot
 Power steering cooler
 One new clutch
 Mandrel bent 2.5” exhaust with twin 2” side exits
 Pod filter

The oil feed and drain were my biggest issues, but it's been a complete headache the whole build!

I've also booked in at the retrimmers for a custom leather and suede interior, but that's been put on hold until the turbo runs. Oh and I need more custom work on the front bumper to clear the 'cooler and piping cos it's so damn big!

Nice seats...i personally dont care for the color but thats just me, i like just black or w/ some red but they look sweet, so does that turbo setup. My friend just turbo'd his Eclipse and I wish i could be boosting.
