    Look who made it home!

    It was a long re-build, but she made it home!!






    Chillin' in the parking lot, with a grand total of 30 miles on the rebuild.


    Packed front end. I also finally put power steering back in it.


    Now 1.9l


    I wanted to mount the turbo so that the intake was on the drivers side but with the manifold that I used there was no way to do that and not hit the radiator...so I had to flip it.
    It's still a tight fit but it's in there. I had to ditch the top radiator mounts and use zip ties to free up a little more room. I think after I recover financially I'm going to pick up a civic half radiator.

    There's still a few things I need to tie up, but she's running now!

        "There's a hierarchy of insanity in motor sports. Normal people think all racers are crazy. Folks who race sedans think people in open-wheel cars are nuts. People who race cars of any kind think motorcycle racers are absolutely off theirs meds. But there's one group that everyone agrees is made up of the most extreme, the most daring, and absolutely craziest people in racing - rally racers."

              IIRC he fixed that by notching the front trans mount... it's been a while though :o

                It really tight up to the lower hose. I think I might be able to cut it back a bit and make room for one. I haven't looked at it real hard yet. I just wanted to get the thing on the road.

                What's the big deal? It gets plenty of cold air. I haven't seen the intake temp go over 85 while driving and, in stop and go it might get to 95.

                  Open turbo is a pretty bad idea on a street car, sucking in pre-warmed air doesn't help power any.

                  I speak from experience on this one.

                    For now I did put 3 layers of SS screen over the intake. I'll see how much I can cut off of the water pump intake maybe I could squeak a intake in there.

                      you could remove the comp housing and have a cast 90* elbow welded to it, if it comes down to it.
