just joined. my setup 56k NO WAY
just joined the site, thought i might share some pics. my summer fun car is my 89 crx si. here is my setup...
this is the intake manifold i built last year in preperation for the setup. i’m planning on replacing it with a new “tapered plenum” design at the end of this summer. http://img132.echo.cx/img132/3072/weirintake17aj.jpg http://img132.echo.cx/img132/4929/dsc007403nw.jpg parts for the new mani: http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/2163/dsc039364sb.jpg http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/7889/dsc039357zq.jpg http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/4634/dsc032186hx.jpg http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/2825/dsc032179ob.jpg http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/7055/dsc032200dh.jpg http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/5792/dsc032199yb.jpg http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/8196/dsc032216tm.jpg |
here is the manifold i made for my turbo. i made all the flanges...

i made myself a crossmember to cut down on wheel hop and also to replace the first one i made that i had sold. i had to make some mounts for the civic rad as well and modify the rad to fit too. when i have time, i still need to modify this cm so that i can incorporate the front engine mount again.

here is the downpipe. i wanted to incorporate the wg into the dp to save a bit on room. it ended up turning out ok, but it is a little crooked and i will have to modify it to mate it to the cat a bit better. i also intend to get rid of the cat and run a flex pipe section there instead.

one of my biggest problems to overcome was fitting the intercooler. the core is 26x12x3. i wanted to use a 22x9x3 but bmc was out of that size. i made my own end tanks to reduce piping. as you can see i had to make some changes in order to fit it. i didn’t want to modify the bumper either.
some mocking... http://img246.echo.cx/img246/2985/dsc030413yl.jpg had to cut the front a bit to make room. http://img94.echo.cx/img94/21/dsc030511jy.jpg here is the new front frame piece that i made. it is removable and has to be so i can get the intercooler in and out. http://img118.echo.cx/img118/939/dsc030762lt.jpg http://img118.echo.cx/img118/4240/dsc030795zt.jpg http://img118.echo.cx/img118/7287/dsc030821xm.jpg http://img118.echo.cx/img118/4353/dsc030862dg.jpg http://img118.echo.cx/img118/8373/dsc030883wc.jpg http://img118.echo.cx/img118/671/dsc030911kt.jpg http://img118.echo.cx/img118/1536/dsc030894nq.jpg mock up with the intercooler core: http://img118.echo.cx/img118/6294/dsc030974yx.jpg |
the reason i went with a custom intercooler was so that i could minimize the amount of charge piping. here is how it came together:
first design the endtanks: http://img273.echo.cx/img273/963/psetiso1wq.jpg had my brother make some forms out of mdf. http://img273.echo.cx/img273/4144/dsc031704ou.jpg make a template out of paper. http://img273.echo.cx/img273/8219/dsc031714yw.jpg http://img273.echo.cx/img273/8621/dsc031729lq.jpg trace it onto some 16 guage aluminum. http://img273.echo.cx/img273/6278/dsc031746vi.jpg cut it out. http://img273.echo.cx/img273/331/dsc031761ey.jpg |

trace the hole on the other side and cut it out, weld the pipe to it and the weld it to the core.

put that sucker in! no modification to the bumper or bumper rebar was made.
