This is my thread on my civic and cheap ass turbo build

I have had this civic since i was 16 I am 22 now, started off an auto and slow. I blew the transmission the fuck up. So I swapped a 5 speed in.  I rear mounted a turbo on this and that was full of fail. So after a couple other turbo set ups I have ended up with this. I havent paid full price for any of this shit but the wideband.

My civic is being boosted up to 7psi I am using a vafc to control my dsm 450s I have an aem wideband to moniter my a/f ratios

Thanks for the comments, what are you looking for the y8 intake?

[Loki]

My friend has one of those, I've been trying to get him to turbo it forever

Nice clean set up. Love the afro-american engineered exhaust cut out.  :yes: You have any more pics of how you did it? Id like to do something like that. keep up the good work.

[clwtwizted]

for the exhaust cut out i just used one of thesehttp://www.jegs.com/i/Mr.+Gasket/720/5424/10002/-1 I ran  the cable threw the hole that the auto shifter cable was ran through and just have it coming out from under the center console. I just used hose clamps on the exhaust to keep it tight. Then I welded a down turn on it to try and keep the gas down and not in the engine bay. The only down fall to this is it has a slight rattle due to the fact that it was made by chinks, Its deffinatly fun to pull up to some one nice and quiet then open that bitch up and smoke there ass

[glustic]

Nice setup. I got an ej8 myself... Will post up pics and a thread later on.

another good man with a y7  ;D

[HiProfile]

Question - why did you pull your ac lines, but not the compressor? The crushbend probably says it all, but I never like see super tight exhaust turns unless aboslutely needed.

Besides that, looks great for the price.

[boosted 00 black si]

like that cut out
