Reply With Quoteinstalled 440cc injectors and painted lip / grill black again just for a bit of a clean up
So heres my civic.. ive whored it out across a few forums (mlga auslancer ozhonda) but i like the big range of cars on this forum so i thought i might make a half assed attempt to join this community.
i got this car with no mechanical knowledge at all with the hope of learning how to do the basics like oil changes clutches suspension brakes etc. with the hope of paying someone else to do the conversion i never saw myself doing all the work myself and doing engine mods / wiring / turbo conversion and attempting and failing at painting like i have.
i just installed the turbo kit and now working out the bugs, still on stock injectors untill my 440s arrive in the next week so rev limit has been dropped down to 6000 rpm and the fuels turned up rich as fk so i dont make it go bang byt the time i get onto the dyno.
but of cause powercruise is coming my tuner is booked out until then so wont be able to get a tune until the end of the month.
also should have my 15x8 6ULs coming this month as well once mx5centre ship them out.
so anyway here it is and some info about it, will update as more things start happening

looks so much nicer with grill and lip painted. I see you still haven't put the seals around your window.
Man, I have no hope keeping up with you know you have a turbo. So are you planning to upgrade those brakes!? wtf!? >_<
Let us know when you down this way again
I've always wondered why people focus on getting heaps of power out of these cars.
Surely the chassis on these cars respond well to good suspension and responsive engine mods?
Give me an honest answer to how it actually goes with the turbo kit, i've got visions of it being too powerful for it's own good.
Great work either way. Especially doing it all yourself
no idea how it goes because its not tuned yet. but with way to much fuel and hardly any ignition it is borderline traction in second on the shitty bob jane 185 wide tyres (feel the tyres startting to give way but is still revving smoothly not going straight to limiter).
I have my 6uls coming next month, with toyo r1rs wrapped around them i see it being perfect. of cause having to feather first and second but third and fourth should get up and boogie.
keep in mind its only a small turbo on about 9 psi on the stock engine, will not be a power house probably only about 220ish horsepower.
Brakes will come after tune / tyres, not sure what way to go because i just forked out for brand new rims so not keen on changing stud pattern. maybe eg6 all round with decent pad / rotors up front? at the moment its not under braked at all with the stock rotors and redstuff pads up front but after the tune i see me needing bigger brakes.
Lol I have the same rough setup, eg sedan, b18c, turbo kit, it makes just over 180kw atw, alot of fun but traction is a problem. The look on peoples faces is worth the money spentOriginally Posted by Serial Killa
money spent? lol got the conversion for 3k and turbo kit for 1.5k power fc for 500 and tune roughly 500.. ive spent alot less then i prepared myself for lol
but yeah will be good to stop losing to commodores at willowbank. but will be mostly focusing on sprints once it gets going
haha yeah fair enough
I used to have a turbo'd Charade back in my younger stupider days and that look you got when the SS commo tried to have a go was priceless
Hervey bay, i'll have to look out for you when im up there for christmas haha
nice civic too
yeah i wont need anything more performance wise. just decent brakes suspension sway bars etc. then i guess seats and harnesses and if i feel like taking it that extra bit further a cage. but at the moment im happy its my grocery getter and its good fun.
Bout bloody time roy!
Still love this car.
Keep it up mate!
nice car mate :]
love it
today while giving it a good thrashing im getting the same problem a member got on this forum with the tacho going nuts around 5000 rpm onwards.. hopefully its not causing any power problems and i can get it fixed pretty easy... not sure if its making me lose power because its already sluggish at the moment untuned... guess i gotta wait and find out
mad sleeper!
cheers luke
intake manifold and tb ready to go on when i can be fked... might aswell throw it on before tune
