i am going for the cheep td04 set up too mate

the best thing would to weld a piece of pipe on to the td04 oil drain pipe to take it from 16mm to 19mm and then you just get a 19mm id 90* silicone pipe if you want u will upload a pic of mine?

that sounds right lads, i welded and 19mm piece of pipe on to the td04 drain pipe and got a 19mm id 90% bend silicone pipe.

i have a jaspeed on my ep82 i am putting my td08 kit together very soon, i was thinking of cutting out the center box but i dont know if the td04 will make it alot louder? anyone cut out the center box of a japspeed of blitz nur spec-r?? Cheers Mark

if you mean the type of thread i think they are m10 metric fine pitch 1.25... if i am right...

got a silver 82 qaud light going for TD04

i will make something up when i get time

i got my quad light around may this year, i at first wanted a white glanza but i found this in the paper and though it would be worth looking into. so i made the trip from my town to elgin to see the car. i payed £2000 for it it was a little bit expensive but it was in good condition and the interior was mint. and it had full tax and mot. the first night i took the car out i was racing a 106 sxi with a gti engine and won... the next week i raced a saxo vtr and won and i started to really like the car lol. this was how it was when i got the car. after a few weeks i started looking into some new bits and bobs for it. started off with a front mounted air filter and removed the a/c, so i got the relocation kit and a non air con belt from monster motorsport. got this done in one night after work it made a huge diffrence to the car. and sounded alot better! next as i said i had to get a new longlife exhaust (cat-back) its a 2.5" from the cat back, but after a few weeks i was very disapionted with the longlife cat back i got made up. cost me £278 and was not loud at all sounded ok tho. it was not until i seen that camskill were selling a japspeed cat backs for £280 so i got one asap much much better it was louder better qaulity everything was better. one of the best things i got fot the car. One night on ebay i seen toyosports made stainless manifolds and i thot £80 was too good a price but i got it anyway, it lasted a few months and the gasket lasted a few weeks... but i learned a leason and put back on a ported cast manifold. the toyosports got p.i.m checked at work to find out if it was mildsteel or stainless... the machine went nuts and did not have a clue what it was lol i started to look for a front mount intercooler kit, so again i checked ebay and found that toyosport made the kt, i checked out tgtt and evryone said they were ok. so i got it when i came to fitting it the bracket that where given were no use at all lol so i made them for from 3mm alu. the fmic gave me a bit more lag but the car did drive better. it was not a bad buy. i was going to get rota slipstreams but could not find them in satin bronze and i could not aford to get them painted but i found some reps... they are stupid light compaired to my old OZ alloys. and with the paradas in the dry give great grip just a little big scary in the wet or damp <img src=&quot;http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa430/mark1991c2/Image0158.jpg" class="linked-image" border="0"> <img src=&quot;http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa430/mark1991c2/Image0159.jpg" class="linked-image" border="0"> and to go with them i got a full set on paradas 195/50/15 from cam skill the mods so far are as follows *hks fcd *hks turbo timer *front mounted air filter *front mounted intercooler *ported cast manifold *jperformance braced de-cat *japspeed cat back *pilar mounted boost gauge and oil temp *red stuff pads and grooved front discs grooved discs and mintex rear pads *parada spec 2 tyres all round *rota slipstreams replicas *air con removed *door mounted speakers which i believe to be rare *deep dish steering wheel *gizzmo electronic boost controller *6000k hids This last weekend i got a spare ct9 it was in fairly good condition too so i set about removing the exhaust side of the turbo, them removing the wastegate penny (i hade to remove the weld) i measured the wastegate it was 22mm ish. and then the penny which was 29mm. i drilled the wastegate out to 25mm and then 26mm. pic below is the wastegate drilled out to 26mm the standard penny and modified penny compared this with the penny removed, it gives alot more room to work. after the drilling the penny was a little bit too small to cover the wastegate. so i tig welded the outside diameter of the penny to make it 32mm. and re-surfaced the penny on a flat surface with sandpaper and them smooth wet and dry until it was smooth. after putting it all back together i removed to matrial to make sure that the wastegate could not catch on anything. and re welded the tab back on to the penny arm. the turbo was re assembled and fitted to a tubular manifold that i fixed (it was cracked so i re welded it and put a brace in) along with new gaskets. as seen \/\/\/\/ after the turbo was fitted i took it for a test drive and it held boost perfect. no fuel cut at all all the way to redline. i am also waiting for my meisterr zeta r coilovers to come and after i get them fitted i will see about getting my exedy stage 1 clutch fitted took the car for a early drive this morning too. time for a small update, i got a new set of magnicore leads and the king lead, spoon socks (i know there are more of a honda thing but there blue) and you cant see but i got my gizzmoboost controller plumbd in behind the inlet manifold. i got a new deep dish wheel aslo as the factory 1 was getting past it best. my full wrapped japspeed i got from cam skill £280. i had a longlife exhaust on it but i just was not keen on it tbh. wrapped the downpipe and most of cat back when they were on took a few more mins but cba taking them off. in the end i think the exhaust was a bit louder...? took the car out in the dry and i noticed that the clutch was slipping a little bit, so i though that i might as well got a new one, see alot of people using organic exedy clutch so i got a stage 1 organic clutch kit. £260 ish. cmb said £190 to fit it... but i think i will do it myself. anyone think it will be tricky? started wrapping my td04 manidold and downpipe yesterday and i am going to make a good turbo from the 2 in the picture when ever i get round to doing that got my gizzmo boost controller fitted a few weeks ago, need it to be placed a bit better tho... where has every1 else got there ebc's? i will see about a alloy rad kit i got my td04 relocated today, did not take long but here it is i still have to make up an actuator bracket as i am going to use the standard one and raise to boost with my gizzmo ebc. and looking into making up oil and waterlines. i seen some kits on ebay... can anyone tell me if they are any use? http://www.ebay.co.u...=item19bf46dd97 i am looking into getting the car mapped on a destek uni chip, try my best to get it running 1.1bar for crail banzai day and total jap car at knockhill. o also got my coilovers on tuesday they will bo going on this weekend and last weekend i got a hks filter from carmen TD04 IS DONE, all i need now is a civic alloy rad a 255 fuel pump and a ecu. small up date guys i have got a dastek piggy back ecu coming this week also and a reverse scoop for idrees on uksc. i will try and get my walbro pump into! MOT on tuesday then the diy screamer pipe is going on!!!!! i got my civic alloy rad in on friday afternoon, made the bracket for it myself out of aluminium and a grommet set i have in my garage saved me £35. i got the old rad out it was a bit past its best and tatty looking, also needed for the td04 i have to cut off the old mount to make if it, just a hack saw job and after and it fitted and ready to go, as you can see diy brackets for the fan i wanted to keep the standard plug so i cut the old plug off the rad and wired it to the new rad incase i need to take it out. the job did not take too long but i was taking my time and i know the over flow pipe is blocked off as i forgot to get a new longer silicone hose lol ******UPDATE******* i made a diy screamer pipe at work, made from stainless pipe and a old autobahn downpipe total cost £40 i also braced my td04 manifold at work. should help alot! and i took my jperformance downpipe off for it mot last week to find a crack... but its all welded up now! *******UPDATE******** a wee update, i have my new clutch (comp clutch) as the exedy stage 1 was crap and i have a rear panhard rod to fit also. i so my rear bumper wet and dry'd with 1200grit and 2500 grit and polished also got the rear spar on too i also got a takata harness altho it was a china jobby it is very good! i painted the cam cover traffic purple (i thot it was more tm-development pink) also i got the welder out to remove some bolts from some(every bolt) evo bucket seats... every bolt was rounded off. and got them on to some custom rails in my mates glanza... i know its not my car but thot i would let you guys see what i am up to and me and my mates starlets ********UPDATE****** DIY front strut brace was working on saturday morning and thot to my self that i needed a new brace on the front as... well being a welder that shud be easy for me lol i went out the the car and took a few sizes (hole pcds and the hole for the top mount) i made the brace kinda like my mates carbing brace apart from the front bar is round not oval. so i made up all the parts and cut a pipe (i left everything a little bit bit as i could trim it later) i have a stick welder in my garage so i would bolt averything down then tack weld it in place then weld it off of the car. before starting i disconectd the battery and used flame retardent boiler suits so protect the engine this is the part that will mount to each side top mount no holes yet and this is the bar this is the brace set out on the ground not welded yet i have skipped a few steps as i got a wee bit excited lol this it if painted at fitted ******UPDATE******** Got my toms side skirts on for a little look, i will get them fixed on this weekend This week i have a little bit of impulse buying in the form of a zisco td04 ram horn extnl w/g manifold and down pipe, And a tial wastegate for tuning developments I had a thot that re welding a cheepo toyosport was a great idea but i can be bothered having to re welding it every few months... :S As every1 says buy shi*te you buy twice lol I went about welding the internal wastegate shut at work. \/\/\/\/\/ As you know the turbo exhaust housing is a cast and 9 times out of 10 it will crack not long after welding here is a few tips if anyone is going to do. * pre heat the exhaust housing before welding (100 degrees c) * If you can stay away form mig and tig welding when welding cast * In most castes mild steel filler wire will not take a good hold to the stainless alloy (penny) and the cast (turbo), I my opinion stainless steel fillet wire works alot better. I used 316 stainless but all grades should work well. ie 304, 321 316 * After welding let the exhaust housing cool down very very slowly, To do this wrap it in fiber glass wool or something that is fire proof. the big mistake it to let it cool down too fast as this can lead to cracking most of the time along the middle of the weld. This is my zisco kit all heat wrapped with black heat wrap. I am still waiting for my tial wastegate and a 0.5bar spring. I will keep you guys posted

next on the shopping list is a ct9 hybrid so i will have a look at my funds and find out if i can order one next week maybe

cam skill is the best price i have seen! £280 with P+P, they are not too loud in my opinion but it comes with a removable baffle if it is too loud

work ar a welder mate, and get the chance to do my stuff at work next to fix it a cheep toyosports manifold

ok wont be this weekend tho as i have to weld up my manifold... it cracked again!

i got a kit from ebay last week hb3 9006, very easy to fit mate! it was only £35 with p+p

thanks for the comments, i have left the plate long enough so that i can cut and shape it to seal... but i have never tryd this before so i will see how it goes

next on the list is hids, change the rocker cover breather, look into getting a cage, coilovers... just wish i had more money to get the build moving faster

i dont think that all of you guys have a tig welder sitting around but thought that i would share woth you guys how i made my screamer pipe. i started off with a autobahn88 de-cat pipe from *Johnboy GT* for a good price, 1. i cut out the side part of the decat that would expose the internal wastegate. 2. then you have to separate the de-cat pipe from the screamer pipe with a piece of stainless. as you can see i left the piece of plate long (facing into the turbo housing as i am going to cut and shape it to get a good fit in between the exhaust turbine and the wastegate). 3. you need to get stainless pipe measuring 35mm outside diameter, pipe wall thickness 1.5mm, cut and re-weld the pipe to make a bend that is 90 degrees. 4.next you have to weld the pipe on and follow the de-cat pipe down cutting and roatating the pipes 5. you need to seel the space in between the flange and the screamer pipe, with 2mm stainless steel plate. 6. you would be safe to put a small brace from the de-cat to the screamer also extra info, i have not put a brace on the decat to the engine yet but i would strongly recommend one. also when welding stainless run argon gas throught the pipe to keep the weld that may penatrate through into the piep clean. dont use excessive amps when welding as stainless steel distorts and pulls very badly with too much heat. good luck to anyone try to do the same i will upload a link when i get in fitted also this week i got my rocker cover breather fitted, my hids fitted. my old cast manifold back on and the toyosport manifold will be taken back into work to get fixed. also got some heat wrap on its way along with s/s ties and jubilee clips

it should not affect it as the exhaust gasses are all coming from the same place so both should give the same reading i think... i hope lol

i had one too mine was not loud at all and it fell apart (was very old) a got a longlife one made up 2.5" cat back and just one box it it was only a little bit louder mate. so a wast of £276... so i got a japspeed from cam skill and it is miles better and louder

i am going to do this soon i did it to my citroen c2 gt and when i wrapped the manifold it popped alot better letting off at 70, but i am going on ebay now and goign to buy a roll lol and i will say to use jubilee clips as the stainless ties are good but jubilee clips have a better hold

i had a hole on my intercooler pipe as it was touching the gear box i think, just get it tig welded a very easy job mate (if you know someone) just a 5 min job i had no clue that there was a hole but when i got it fixd it made a big deffrence
