haha :D

right, stripped down my SSQV and cleaned it all out since someone, mentioning no names (cough aaddzz123) engine failed while borrowing it and filled it full of oil and gunge! :thumbsup:

So stripped it completely down and serviced it. Also ordered a weld on boss for ricky to weld it directly to my HDI hot pipe :D

the fuel filter & fuel pressure regulator have arrived at ricky's and ricky is also in the middle of doin the manifold.. however since im having a 3inch downpipe with a top mounted turbo, space is VERY tight apperently.... So we might have to move the bottom civic rad pipe output to the other side of the rad! More on that later, more pics soon :o x

personally love the hks chirp mate, its JDM as fuck, and it didnt get boring allll last year... so ill be fine :thumbsup:

that engine bay looks so nice and clean! cant wait to see this at japfest!

thanks buddy, ive spent a large amount of time cleaning it!

right, pics of the turbo kit, again thanks to ricky for sending these, makes you realise just how big the turbo is, how big a 3inch downpipe is and how little room there is too!

enjoy:

you can see on this one how a stock radiator is simply impossible! You can also see how ricky twisted the turbo to allow room for that huge downpipe!

good job im friends with the guys at Roose Motorsport, looking like ill be needed a custom intake house!

also see how close the pas pump is to fanimold!

DSC_0760.JPG

downpipe held in place, its going to be tight as a ducks arse!

will look 100% rude tho!

Is looking sweet dude, you not concerned about lag though with such a big turbo and then long runners on the top mount kit? Id asume that ads lag? Not overly clued up on topmpunt efficiency tbh.

Just a quick reply to this.

Top mounts don't really make all that much difference to spool. If you work out the overall capacity of the runners and how much air the engine is moving, they take approx 0.04 seconds to fill. There is more complicated things that have an effect but to be honest there very small, and would probably go unnoticed. Turbo's are sensitive to runner length like the N/a's.

Regards

Ricky
