i need instructions to instally greddy turbo..
turbo97ex was updating his new instructions...
AJN used his old one, he said it was very useful.. so that's why i am wondering where he is... he updated his website's intructions up to putting the oil pan .. so.. i thought i would be able to find him here.. but well.. bad luck...

i remember he said he was finding a job..... well.. maybe probably he found one, and it's too busy to do anything for HONDA.. i hope he is ok :)

what part of the instruction do u need bro?

I have yours thermal ! hehehe....
thanks

Re: Moderators??
 

Sup xbird. What ya talkin about i never replied your email? ;(
I always reply my emails. but yeah im still here. Im just hella busy with school n stuff but finals are around the corner and im gonna be on break soon so i'll have more time to cause troube here. = )

ok mrclowny i sent u an email like 5 mins ago this time

without all that, i think u can help me out....
i am just curious about the installation....
ok..i will have the oil pressure line going from the turbo to the back of the engine block to that ... oil pressure swtich?? something like that..
but now i got to drill a hole i the oil pan and i need to wrap that hose, that wrapped hose, where should it go???
this is just the par that i don'd understand too well.. i need to know everthing very well before i install it
so help me out
thanks

i think your talkin about the oil return line. I drilled the hole facing the front. Make sure that you drill the hole as high as you can without hitting the anything becuz the oil won't return properly if the hole is submerged in oil. Also i tied the wrapped hose with platic tie so that it wont move around but you probably wont have any problems installing. When i installed my kit i had no idea what i was doin so it was hella difficult and hard and took me a long time. But there nothing like the satisfaction of installing your own stuff. And you'll love the instant power gains. Btw how much can you get the Type 31 intercooler??? Hook it up. Laters.

so that oil return line is connected to the turbo?? right??

i am not too sure about the intercooler, i would say around 5 30 or 550 ... something liekthat
let me know,if u want it, i will ask him for u

Hey xbird thats $550 for the type31???? hey do you think u can get me one of those bad boys??????

And the oil return line goes from the turbo.

yes it's around 550..
let me make sure the price for u

so that means for the turbo, it will one two oil lines coming out..
one to the pan, one to the pressure switch?

ooops
 

hehehe.. i wish.. haha...
the intercooler type 26 is around 500.. hheeh...
the type 31 is around 700...
haha.. i wish the type 31 is 500 hahaha...
sorry mrclowny, gave u some happeniess now some sadness hehee

im still ineterested. HOw much do you think it will cost to ship that baby to Los Angeles, where i live?

send me an email...with ur address plz
thanks

DONE Thanks x BIrd =)

oil flow............
 

it goes like this.....
engine block (oil pressure switch)------> turbo-------> oil pan

the oil coming from the pressure switch is the oil supply/feed.
oil coming from the turbo is the drain/return oil.......

oil being supplied to the turbo has to circulate and DRAIN as much as possible to prevent "caking" of oil when the engine is shutdown. it also lowers the temperature of the turbo by a constant recirculation of the oil.

I agree with whatever thermal says.

i totally understand what u meannow ! thanks

Hey everyone, I have been offline for a while. My mom is dying of lung cancer (if you smoke, stop!) and I just have not had the time lately to do much as far as my Honda habit.
Xbird, the instructions are 80% completed on my site including how to hook up the oil pressure line with photos. The only thing that is not on the site is the piping and downpipe assembly which is, for the most part, self explanatory but I will add it to the site I have just been busy like I said. Thanks for the reminder man.

hey, i am so sorry to hear that.. really sorry... you should stay with her more :) good luck !

For the instructions, don't worry about it man, i asked many ppl here, i know what to do next thanks alot ! you are a great man !

I am sorry for annoying u a couple times by email ! sorry !
But i was very happy to see that email saying "turbo97ex" replied u ... hehe.. anyways, good luck ! Best wishes to your mom !

BTW, I quitted smoking for almost 2 yrs already :P

You found a job yet? good luck man ! We all on Hondastyle.com wishes u two the best luck !!! Right guys??

Thanks Chris, I really appreciate that. Did you get your kit yet?

HAHA OF COURSE YES !!!

Hey, Can three of you guys tell me where the oil pressure switch exactly is ! i am a little bit worry about i won't be able to find it !

Let me know !

Thanks
Want to see my parts??!!!

steve.......i am so sorry to hear that my friend:(

directly beneath the oil filter....u cant miss it. you'll see some wires going to it......that's is the most painful part of this turbo project....BUT, do not get discourage.....be patient and you'll get that baby out of there;)

xbird, do u have aim? if not, download that so we can chat in real time........
oh yeah, to be more clear......look behind the engine, find the oil filter, below it is the oil pressure switch.......

yes i do have aim
xbird268
add me !
thanks for the help !

I have the helm's manual in front of me, i know where u guys are talkng about.. i hope i would be able to locate it easily

Here is what i am going to buy for my installations:
1) Exhaust manifold gasket
2) oil pan gasket
3) oil filter? I changed not too long ago, if so what brand should i get?
4) Engine oil?? I changed not too long ago again, what brand again?

and other gease, and oil and stuff, i will find it on steve's homepage :)

Hey Steve,

I am sorry to hear that too man. Don't worry about your site now. There is no rush. Take care of your mom. I hope she gets through this.

sorry to hear about the bad news,

best of luck to you and your family,

aj

Yo Steve, sorry to hear bro. Same thing happened to my grandfather couple years back so i kinda know how it is. Stay strong dawg. peace..

...3) just go ahead change the oil filter again. it's only a couple of bucks. it's better to install a new one. it'll be easier to work with, rather that having oil dripping down on you as you work around that area. i used fram....any brand as long as it is for you car.
...4) mobil synthetic......

do not forget to get some loctite and teflon tape....it'll help...peace and goodluck

Hey everyone, thanks for the kind words about my mom. It is very appreciated.

Hey Thermal, when you say that the oil pressure switch is below the oil filter didn't you mean above it? Mine is above the oil filter and I thought they were all that way. Maybe you were looking up at yours from underneath your car and thought of yourself as being "on top" so therefore everything was reversed, hehe.

Anway, here is a link to where the switch is - http://www.turbocivic.net/images/teemnt.jpg Notice where the oil filter mount is and just above it is the brass tee with the oil pressure line going to the left and the oil sensor on the top. It is kind of fuzzy but I will take another photo on my next oil change.
later,
steve
