Title: Turbo 91' civic 4door build.
Post by: turbob16hatch on December 11, 2009, 05:47:57 AM: Well it is time to post up my build. I have had this civic for about a year and had a ghetto turbo kit on it last summer and it has served as a good DD. Well the engine finally had enough of the no radiator fan and hot summer days and overheated/cracked the radiator. So i pulled the stock d15 and thats where it sat as of 3 months ago.

Well it is a 91' civic lx 4 door that has been mpfi swaped and obd1 converted using a boomslang harness ( pretty badass). The goal with this build was to have a DD sleeper civic that looks and drives about a close to stock as i can get with 250 whp. I don't like gauges everywhere, slammed cars, and engine bays that have parts that look out of place. Thsi is pretty much a test bed for my own idea's towards turbo honda's. I like oem looking turbo kits and installs so i try and make my turbo kits make sense so there will be no 3" charge piping and T67 turbo's running 3 psi AKA no honda-tech builds for me.

The desision to build the engine that way i am has all to do with me being a cheap ass and loving to build oddball stuff. The compression is not to much of a concern.There can't be any worse low end performance then the stock dpfi d15. :?: Pictures to come of the enigne.

engine D16a6:
- 75.5 ycp vitara pistons
- modded LS rods w/ arp bolts
- polished crank journals
- oem oil pump
- stock head decked and valve job
- Delta 272 cam
- 7.1:1 comp

stock D16a6 head, cleaned, valve job.

So for this winter turbo kit i will be running the following

- Garrett T25
- 1.25" sch10 "quick spool" manifold
- 2.5" turbo back exhaust
- modified srt 4 intercooler
- 1.75" hot side charge piping
- 2" cold side charge piping
- 1g dsm bov recurculated
- 680cc injectors
- walbro 255 fuel pump

The point of me building this kit is to have a very responsive street car that will have great power at almost any cruising rpm. Turbo responce being the key here i went with a small diamiter short runner manifold with a 2" collector. This should still flow well up top but give me some nice spool up. The T25 turbo i had from my old turbo kit and should work great on 10lbs. I personally don't like loud bov's so i plan on recurculating the dsm bov back into the intake to quit it down some, and also help a small amount with keeping the turbo spooled.

Turbo manifold:

Well thats it for now, i will try to update as i finish up more things on the car.

Title: Re: Turbo 91' civic 4door build.
Post by: HiProfile on December 11, 2009, 06:35:04 PM: ME LIEK.

The 4dr's are fun cars for DD's, especially in MPFI form. I enjoyed both of mine, and they can hold LOTS of junk if you pull out a seat or three. I only wish I had used a smaller turbo on mine. That t25 should spool up very quick.

Only thing I'd change is the psi you run. If you really want a non-Honda-tack kit, you'll use a 2.5bar+ MAP and do at least 15psi.

ive done it before too. if it doesn't go in with a few taps of the handle of a hammer, pull it out and check to make sure the compressor has the rings good. it should go in just a little with each tap, if it doesn't then be aware

Obd 0 d16a6 intake manifold that i clean up the ports on and polished the throttle plate. I cleaned it and assembled with my 680cc injectors.

Here is the turbo outlet that i welded up. I made the 3 bolt flange and used an outlet tube of a 1g dsm smic. (btw hardest thing i ever welded as it was 3/8 plate to 16g with no room to spare for the bolts)

Yes.

Pin offset is correct for Honduhs this way, and keeps them from souding like a diesel.

I read that on the internet somewhere....

I'm still unsure if i'm going to run the .48 a/r or the .63 a/r hot side. Goal here is for a nice fat powerband with a 7000-7200 rpm redline.

Before this goes on the car i will rebuild it and get it all cleaned up. Also i will get a wet center housing to add some longevity.

I'm building it a/c compatable. I removed my a/c as it had a leak and stopped working mid summer. I will get it back in this summer and get the p/s cooler replaced with a more conventional "radiator" style core that will replace the heat sink tube thing thats in the way.

might be a stupid question but are the arrows supposed to face the back of the engine with vitaras?
I did a right up on oHMT about the how the arrows on vitaras should face the flywheel because of the pin offset.
If you look up a vitara pdf the arrows should point to there crank pully which is on the left side of the engine.
vitata clockwise
d16 counter clock.

I like your build BTW, the mani got my pants all tight. ;)

I used to have one, i decided to go back to the old school a6 one. Has nothing to do with performance i just thought it fit the car better.

You know i had thought about painting it, but I'm unsure if it will just chip and look like shit it a week. Any experience with them painted?

Yes, there is a really laid back machine shop in town that builds all the dirt track car engines (just don't expect anything to be done a few months before racing starts). It was $140 out the door for them.

Post by: turbob16hatch on September 01, 2010, 12:51:59 AM: UPDATE:

Well i finished the top section of the downpipe. This is my "o2 housing' sort of minus the o2. the lower part still needs the flex section and 3 bolt flange welded on but i forgot to run to the exhaust place and get material so that will be finished tomorrow. I also have the 2.5" exhaust started but i need to get flanges. Sense I'm making this 2 pieces (i hate one piece exhausts) i had to hold off till tomorrow, plus building exhaust with no lift is BS.

Do not insult my pie cut welds, there less then stellar. :'(

top section:

I still need to fabricate a heat shield for the turbo, but maybe i can fit that in tomorrow.
