#254562 The car is another EG Civic was a 1.3 duel carb engine but it was a rolling shell when i bought it a couple months ago but now it's a fully forged D16 ESI turbo conversion.

Will let the progress speak for what ive done so far....

This is the car as i bought it. No engine, wiring, seats etc etc had no suspension on but i had some struts laid about from other civic's me and my m8 was working on, so stuck them on so i could get it rolling

Image

Bought a Spoon carbon spoiler

Image

The D16 esi engine

Image

Took the engine apart and fitted some Eagle rods and forged pistons 8.5.1 ratio, sorry no pic's of the engine been built up forgot my camera that day.

Image

Image

My lass bought me a 6 puck clutch and alloy flywheel for crimbo

Image

Image

Image

Skunk2 inlet manifold

Image

70mm TB

Image

Compared the difference between the ESI TB and the 70mm TB

Image

690cc Percission Injectors & AEM fuel rail

Image

Sent the Inlet manifold away to be ported for the 70mm TB and fitted the engine andgearbox into the car. Also painted the engine up ready for this.

Image

Stripped my cam cover and painted it up

Image

Image

Bought myself a Nice Garett turbo 63/63AR - wastegate & thermal inlet gasket

Image

Image

Image

Got a cheap cast manifold and fitted them to the engine with some Black Tegiwa silcon hoses

Image

Image

Stripped all the cars sound deadening as this is just extra weight ( front and rear )

Image

Got my inlet back and fitted it to the engine

Image

Also picked up some coilover and fitted them but no pic's, i'm also doing a full engine bay wire tuck with brake tuck and have moved the battery and washer bottle into the back of the car

#254563 Couple bits arrived today for the car, which will give me sumit to do over the weekend :cool:

Large intercooler and piping

Image

Mini Ram manifold insted of the crappy cast one i had originally fitted

Image

4 bar Hondata sensor

Image

Go-autoworks black billet vacum log

Image

Been a busy bee and fitted all the intercooler setup, map sensor, turbo, manifold but rain has stopped play for the time been.
Had a couple problems with the intercooler piping as it was to short with it been connected to a different/shorter inlet manifold but sorted that just by extending it a couple inches

Image

Image

Image

Just on modding the front bumper but will finish it off tomorrow, it'll give me sumit to do

Angle eye headlights ( swapped these for the standard headlights and indicators i had fitted ) and modified the front bumper for the intercooler & pipeing.

Image

Image

Image
