nevermind that oil line in the previous pic... there is normally an OEM oil pressure sensor there. I recommend using an oil sandwich plate adaptor between the oil filter and the block to give you additional ports which you can use one for your oil feed line and use another one for the sensor to control your aftermarket oil pressure gauge (recommended for turbo setups)

- Thu Dec 22, 2011 2:34 am #286465 That's how it is from the factory, with a check valve in the line. That's so the intake will suck vacuum from the crankcase at high rpm. With a turbo spooling, you no longer have vacuum but pressure instead so the way honda designed the vacuum system to work no longer matters. So now you need to let the crank case and valve cover vent by means of a vented catch can. So remove that line and put a cap on the nipple on the intake - it's no longer needed since you're running a new line to the catch can.

It's really not any different :thumb: You'll have a different manifold and probably a little larger turbo.

I'm not sure about the carb setup, since we never had them in the states on 5th gen civics. The fuel management will be the big difference. Also there may be different sensors too.

Yes, mostly everything in this setup will be the same for the D16y8. If it's in an OBD2 car, you would need an obd1 conversion harness to run a chipped OBD1 ecu.
