I have not done an update for some time.
Sadly, I have done nothing new to my eg lol.....
My plans for the civic is to add some BOOST!!!!! I am slowly gathering up parts. If anyone has a nice TOP MOUNT TURBO MANIFOLD that they want to get rid of, I might be interested!!! (For B-series)
Since I have nothing to show for the civic at the moment, I will post some of the other projects I have completed and worked on this winter:
1st project, JDM DC integra Front End Conversion!
Welded on a new T-bracket and did all the wiring. Took a good day to complete, but it looks FLAWLESS!
Loaded it into my subaru legacy. Such a convenient vehicle!
Sorry for the odd looking pics
Here is the removal of his old T-bracket, and then the installation of the JDM one (tack weld for mock fit)
Mock fit! all lines up! so now to finish welding, here is the mock fit:
and the finished product!
2nd project, My EJ22E Subaru Legacy Turbo install
As I believe I stated earlier in my thread, I picked up an OEM 94 Legacy EJ22T IHI VF11 Turbo, and slapped it onto my legacy.
For the most part it was an easy job except for the exhaust up and down pipes lol. The up pipe was especially difficult to do, and required around 7 welds and many small bends to wrap around the CV-axle.
The down pipe was also tricky because of how far back the turbo sat in the engine bay. There is only a couple millimeters of clearance from the fire wall and the turbo down pipe
And of course, I wanted an IC as the 94 legacy turbo did not use an IC from factory. So I bought an 02 WRX TMIC, and did some modifications to make it fit.
I also had to pull the motor to change the clutch since the old one was slipping. Since the motor was pulled, I did the Head Gaskets, front and rear main seals, most other head related seals and a new timing belt, pulleys, water pump, etc....
This is the finished product:
Turbo with heat blanket
custom made up and down pipes
pulled the motor
and all installed!
