Greddy Gauges!

LOL...I already have a tach..stock y0!.lol

Arnell, you better hit me up bro!:yes:

Your young paduan(sp) needs to learn the ways of the dark side!!:cool:

Hopefully we'll be doing my install soon....I just need....well ****....pretty much everything...:banghead: Turbo STILL isn't here. I'm giving the dude one more week to have it here. Otherwise I'm getting my money back through paypal.:no:

those greddy gauges are sexy!! how much did you get 'em for?

Got this done today:



Still waiting for a black 60mm GReddy oil temp gauge, which will fill up that hole where the dimmer used to be. I ran all the wires through the firewall already. The boost gague is functional, but only readys vacuum of course until the turbo goes in. The fuel pressure gauge is functioning now as well.

Commence, Teg turbo install
 

Well I started the turbo install today.... Have a few problems that I have to solve first. More stuff I had to order to include a slim radiator fan the will be a pusher (mounted on the front of the radiator instead of back). I was planning on pulling of the head off to install the blockguard and cometic head gasket but my buddy could not make it on time. I got excited so I started test fitting the turbo itself. The biggest problem is the turbo and manifold. My manifold will not flange flushed against the exhaust port because of the manifold itself seems a bit too short for a T4 compressor. The compressor is already against the block even after shaving a small area of it. I do have a solution. In order for me to make the set up fit, I will have to "sandwich" another exhaust flange in between the turbo manifold and the exhaust port. This will push the turbo assembly away from the block about 1/2 inch and have about 3/8 inch clearance. Of course I will also have to upgrade to a longer studs/bolts. I didnt wnat to take a picture until I fix the problem. It's all good tho. I already ordered the stuff I need to fix my problem. This is another week set-back which I really dont mind. i dont want to rush into this and mess up the whole set-up. I'm being patient. Pics to come soon.

In the mean time, friends are always stopping by all the time. I'm mostly doing all this by myself. Alot of people just watch but are willing to lend a hand if needed.......

keep us updated bro.... i'll have mine soon enough.. ;) can't wait for the pics..

Pics!!:yes:

I have no more room to host pictures.... he he he

Re: Commence, Teg turbo install
 

;) Hey bro, you know I'm more than willing to help. It just took me too damn long to get there the other day. haha. But hit me up anytime you're doing shit....:thumbsup:

Damn dude!
Like I stated before.
When you coming up here to help me with my install?
Yeah i know when I buy your ticket...But remember.
I don't pay in cash...just booze!

Lol

I demand a picture of the whole engine bay!!

lol.....

Major change of plans. I've decided to do it right. I'm confident on tearing B-series engines apart now. So this is what I plan to do:
-Leave the internals stock for a few months and boost 8 psi with a tuned Hondata S200b. I'm gonna shit can the 3mm headgasket and block guard idea and do it right. I've decided to save up and build the engine up with eagle rods and wiseco pistons......and possibly resleeve it. I know that with the help of a few close friends, we can do the build-up our own...except the sleeving part. I want to max out my turbo and kick my HP goal to 450-500HP by next winter at the latest.... next summer. My suspension is blown, so the Tein SS still must go in. I think it just all depends on what my financial status after buying my house. It will be worth the wait....that I'm sure of.....
:yes: :yes:

500 HP........... :banana:

God has spoken....:bow: :bow: :bow:

haha

Paitence is they key man!
I always hear myself say after a long project "Fuck I'm glad I did things properly and not half asked!"

I know what you mean. That is why I dont mind waiting. I'm putting the IM tomorrow. I will go ahead start my research on pistons and rods....sleeving too.

and when your done that.
Drive your turbo'd teg up to Saskatoon

He he he.... i just may. Toss a fine ass girl with that 12 pack and I just might drive up there.... lol

Turbo Teg Update:
-The engine is pretty much put together on stock form. I installed and connected most of my GReddy gauges. The GReddy oil filter "sandwich" made it all easy for me to get some of my sensors rigged. I installed the RC 550cc saturated injectors which pretty much included the OBD1 injector clip conversion. Walbro255 LPH is in place as well. The new slim 16" radiator came in. I installed it and rigged it act as a "pusher". So now, I have a big ass radiator fan in front of the full Fluidyne radiator. Waiting for another B-series exhaust flange to get the manifold installed. Come Friday, I will go ahead get the intercooler brackets welded. Then the pipe fitting will commence........

Dude I'm super excited for your motor.

And believe ME...trust me on this one. I work in a resturant. And I work with a lot of good looking gurls. It's kinda hard to work some nights.

i hear you. sometimes it's hard to find it from all the eye candy that you see.

now back on topic: when are you gonna tune mine ? might get a h23 before.

I still need to rewire the slim fan for pusher mode :yes:
...... and here's my Spearco intercooler. Also, take note that i relocated the power steering cooler by positioning it higher. A few bracket fabrication and a foot long high temp hose did the trick.....

Noice!
I like the rad behind that also.

that IC is massive, but then again you're looking into boosting for 500 HP..

i really need to speed up this project just a tad bit> the local track opens this weekend....

WHAT!
blahalsdthweaiothaiowetna'g:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Its only for this weekend. Just like a special thing. Its not open the following week. I'll be there though!;)

The announcer said it will be open again this weekend biatch:flick:

Today was a productive day. The weather was great as well. I finally got the turbo manifold to fit right. The oil line is hooked up and the EGT sensor is in place. I was even able to help out a friend on a Turbo timer and GReddy profec-B spec2 install. Gotta work tomorrow, but Tuesday should mark the beginning of the piping fabrication.... :yes:. The new target day is the 15th this month for Hondata tuning and downpipe fabrication.....

Piping is almost done!!!!....about freaking time!!!!



This pic is taken from underneath the car

Dude that is sexy

Nice work my friend. Custom piping rocks!!! Only if we lived closer, we could race. I'm pretty sure you'd win though, becuase of your full engine build up.:cool:

lol..... my engine wont be built until the end of the year brotha. Gotta get a house this summer.

I welded all this shit today. My friend let me play around on his welder. Oddly enough, I caught on pretty good. I will post pics later....:yes:

looking good, hope you get it running soon.

Thanks. I should have the car running by this weekend. I already told my friends that my project comes first. Their cars will have to wait. I'm getting the Hondata base program this week and drive my car to the dyno without a downpipe....lol..... I started painting the piping. I have a busy week. Gotta stay ahead....looking into custom 3 inch exhaust pipes and suspension upgrade. I should be at the track soon.....

this the first time i looked in the turbo forum.

i must say this one hell of bad ass teg. i give mad props. i only wish i could half this shit myself. how much did you pay for those gauges? i herd that greddy guages are out the ass expensive.

i cant wait to turbo my H22a.

man how cramped is your engine bay with that H22? cuz i know my Teg is PACKED, i had to loose my AC :no: but i feel hardcore now, ya know? i think i'll finish up mine by the end of the week... i surely hope so, i cant wait to drive it!! :yes: :yes:

bah.... the GReddy gauges put a major hole in my pocket. Thanks tho. My gauges came out close to $1k not to include the profec-b spec II and turbo timer. The whole project have cost me about $4k, if not more. I also found out that my tuner will be out of town for a while. Now I have to find another Hondata dealer to get my base setting..... It's all good tho. By then, my set-up should be fully ready for dyno tuning.....................

not at all. the ludes got a huge bay. so i got a lot of room for a turbo to. i love it so much.


1k for guages. damn i want the sameones to. i better start savin.

hey where is that track in VA Beach... i'd like to come down from richmond during spring break (april 2-9) and race... everything is looking great thermal... major props man. my turbo setup is gonna be done this weekend... :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: i'm so fucking excited!!!
