Cracking build so far.

 

My Honda Civic track car build thread if anyone is interested:
Pistonheads Honda Civic VTI Turbo

 

Nice!

 

Cracking build fella,

 

Nice build! This looks like it'll be a real beast!

I love threads like this.

What happened to those sexy purple wheels

 

 

Progress made over the Christmas/New Years break from
work:

- Fuel pumps and Aquamist kit installed and wired up in the boot.
- All lines and wires ran from the boot to the front of the car.
- Engine bay wiring loom modified for JDM big port heads and installed.
- Front end stripped in preparation for a custom front mount exhaust manifold, custom Garrett cored intercooler and a custom water radiator. All measured up and materials have been ordered.

The plan is to make everything fit in front of the engine without space framing the front end. It’s going to be tight but I’m going to give it a go.

 

Coming on nicely mate, maybe a fancy new strut brace will be a good celebration once it’s complete

Quick question, what’s the logic behind the front mounted turbo? Shorter manifold for faster spool?

 

Nice projectComing along nicely....Kaosone the main differences are faster spool up shorter pipe work neat angle for radiator and intercooler,doing things differently to the usual builds etc etc etc.....SJ.

 

👍🏻 A strut brace is on the list. The shorter exhaust manifold should spool up a bigger turbo faster

 

👍🏻 Looking forward to getting it running, hope to have it ready for mapping within the next 4 weeks

 

Picking the car up tomorrow after having the front mount exhaust manifold fabricated by Walton Motorsport.

 

Where's the rest of it?

 

All in good time lol

 

 

Walton really do make some impressive pieces don't they? Lovely work. Coming together really nicely now.

 

👍 Their work is awesome, very fast turn around too.

Wired in the toucan, CarPlay headunit and power for the Aquamist water/meth controller today.

 

Progress is being made slowly;

The Garrett 600x300x76mm Intercooler core I had ordered has arrived along with a Mishimoto triple row radiator (MMRAD-UNI-25); they both should fit in front of the slam panel. Two SPAL cooling fans will be ordered shortly.

A replacement bumper bar will be fabricated along with the mounting brackets and intercooler end tanks.

I fitted the turbo oil feed line along with oil pressure and temperature sensors, in preparation for priming the oiling system next weekend. My personal neo grinta steering wheel has also been fitted.

 

Moving forwards

I stumbled across this thread recently, another “front mount” () turbo build: https://www.scoobynet.com/projects-4...o-project.html

the steering wheel’s nice & clean too (floormats are a bit suspect ).

 

Floormats will be binned shortly along with the front seats

 

Cracking build Harry, nice to see a proper big build under way! Looking forward to seeing the results

 

Thanks Iain, hopefully it’ll be ready to make some power soon

 

Very nice build, grewat work,
Will be nice to see what numbers it will do and how the turbo will spool on the road

 

It's looking great Harry.
Quick question, are you putting some heat sleeve around those dry sump lines?

 

Thanks Daz 👍🏻

Yes, I plan to sleeve all of the oil/fuel lines, currently waiting for a Turbowerx exa scavenge pump to arrive from the states before i finish all of the oil lines.

The manifold, down pipe and turbo exhaust housing will be sent off to to be coated by zircotec.

 

hopefully it’ll be worth the effort

 

 

Yeah... It’s alright I suppose



How much is left to do?
