thanks for all the compliments

very very very nice
i want

what kind of engine due you have then exactly

what did it cost you

i currently have the d16y7.

everything that was in those pictures ran me just about a 1000. but thats including the complete y8 IM and the full y8 longblock even tho i'm only using the head.

when the kits all said and done i'll have new figures for ya.

sexy sexy looks good

thnks for the compliments :)

screw the compliments, install that shit already!!!

yeah!!!
put it on

so youeven got that turbo with that price.
i can only find kits that cost lit $2000
i would probably want to get the kit so it would be eassy to put on

would it be a lot harder to instal a turbo with out a kit,

no it isn't if you know what to buy and where to get it from.

Cool. You'll like it for a few weeks, then you'll want faster..

haha yes i hear the bewst bug is notorious for that.

it is MUCH cheaper to put together your own setup than buying a kit but a kit is obviously easy.
if your interested in doing your own setup check out www.homemadeturbo.com and www.turboD16.com

great sites, with very friendly ppl

unfortunatley because this is my daily driver, i'm gonna put it off until the spring. i'm lapping the valves and prepping the head etc. and getting all the turbo piping and stuff ready over the winter so first thing come spring will be mini-me
then turbo and exhaust and tuning.
then clutch and fly.

How would a turbo react to an auto civic? I mean a turbo set at low boost to not hurt anything.

low boost would be fine. I'd say, depending on the turbo you could run up to about 10 psi before having your tranny poop out on you. Then it's time to send it to level 10 and have them rebuild it and throw in a quick shift kit with like a 4000 rpm stall speed torque converter. I bet that would annihilate anything that is a manual with the same engine/turbo setup.

yah low boost would be ok on the auto tranny but. depending on how much you go into boost and stuff.. it could wear fast.

guys i got another package today. added it to the bottom of the page of pics

Clutchmasters? Stage 3 niceeee. Driving that is so fun, and hard in traffic!

coming together slowly but surely. The turtle always wins the race remember that. Good to see you're doing things the right way.

:) yeah the kit should be very nice and clean and all kinks worked out so come spring i can slap it all on :) i'm so pumped.

yah im still very unsure about which clutch to go with. this is daily driven so i don't want somethin thats gonna be a pain to drive in traffic every day.

turbo d16 is a ggreat site for some good info but the people on thier are real dickheads often times

wow thts weird. i've been on turboD for a few months and found the members to be EXTREMELY helpful. way more than any other forum i've been on(and thats alot of forums ;) )

who's a dickhead, im not a dickhead

imma a dickhead :evillol:

What size are the rims on your car lkailburn. They look good.

Looking good, lkailburn!!! And I can see you still have those tail lights! :) Keep it up!

rims are 17's. thnx for the compliment

HEY Ikailburn, where did you get the wheel and seats? And how much?

I have been wanting to put SI seats and Wheel in for a while now. RSX seats where a grand each from factory ahhhhhh!!

HEY Ikailburn, where did you get the wheel and seats? And how much?

I have been wanting to put SI seats and Wheel in for a while now. RSX seats where a grand each from factory ahhhhhh!!

which wheel are you talking about?

i got the rsx seats from a local guy. i got the full set of front and rears for 260!!!! :naughty: and they had been fabric treated from the dealer and are garunteed not to stain or fade for 6 yrs :iceslolan :iceslolan

i love the seats, they are soo comfortable, sporty looking and oem quality. i just hope that sometime i will get my lazy ass up and have the brackets that i made welded onto the rails instead of simply bolted on. i would feel a bit safer when its all welded up

Wow that is cheap I cant beleive that
The steering wheel the s2000 one?
Was that expensive? did it come with an airbag?

mines just an oem civic steering wheel. i WISH i had an s2000 wheel

but for your info yes you can hook up the airbag and horn and even cruise control in the steering wheel.

How much do you want for the Y8 Block?

Looking good Luke!!! Keep us posted on the install progress.

well to be honest one of the cylinders had a ring failure, and on the sleeve of that cylinder there is a raised bump. like not a scratch or gouge, a bump. so i think it could be honed out but i don't know if you'd have to resleave it or not. in that case its prolly not worth it to you to have me ship out a not so good block lol.
but if your doing a complete rebuild it wouldn't affect thta at all.

hehe i'll sneak in another update:
two more boxes came today!!
i need your opinions on them.
picture is up on the site at the bottom:
http://www.rit.edu/~ltk6260/my-bewst.html

so you have an Apex'i, HKS and Greddy turbo timer now?!?!

haha no.. well ya. i just sold the apexi to my friend for the same price i paid for it. and i found both the hks and greddy at the same time for REALLY good prices so i had to buy em both lol.

any opinion on which of the two has more features?

haha no.. well ya. i just sold the apexi to my friend for the same price i paid for it. and i found both the hks and greddy at the same time for REALLY good prices so i had to buy em both lol.

any opinion on which of the two has more features?

Look @ the bright side, you'll always have a back-up turbo timer, lol.

any opinion on which of the two has more features?
I like the Greddy unit, just because I like Greddy lol.

ya i think im leanin towards the greddy.

can i get a mod to move this over to the 96-00 board now that the site's changed?

where's a mod when you need one???

check out the sig

cool, i voted. hope that helps em establish some more/new mods

that thread's about to come to life now :smokin:

when do we get new mods :(

soon

yay

no mods > me

NICE car, keep it clean like THAT.
very good complation of Pics.
IMO, Valve Covers are easier to paint when they are taken off the head. Thata way you don't have to worry about droping shit. Also when I repainted mine, I took it to a Machine shop, and they sandblasted it for like $10. Then you wont have to sand or prime. :)

thnx man i appreciate the complements..

yah im putting all new seals and lapping the valves and junk so that valve cover is off. i started sanding it down but it was just taking way to long. so i'll have my dad blast it for me like you suggest.

thanx again!

kool kool. Keep us posted.
Peace.

good looking car. nice and clean..put that stuff in, and under the hood will be just as nice

can i get a mod to move this over to the 96-00 board now that the site's changed?

Done:)

Also, any updates with the homemade turbo kit project?

yay you the man!! haha thnx

as for updates.. none really. since school started money has been slow and i've been busy with school work and junk so haven't had a lot of free time.

things im buying in the very near future will be the arp head studs and new head gasket. :)

im still lookin for someone who can hook me up cheap on piping for the charge pipes. anyone know of some good cheap places?


thnx guys i lub the d-series powa!!! haha

-Luke
