Finished routing the wastegate back into the downpipe yesterday and got everything bolted up today. The downpipe was a mother to get in, had to jack the motor over quite a bit, hope I never have to take it back out haha!



The mess





Another mess








Fired it up after I got all that done. Open downpipe + BB turbo = sweet music! Still got alot of heat wrapping/insulating to do. Going to make a heat shield on one side of the battery too. Hoping to knock out the i/c piping and exhaust this week and get this puppy on the road!

 

looks damn good man!

 

Nice work buddy!!

Question: What did you do with the heater hoses coming out of the firewall next to the downpipe. Has the cable running to it to control the heat inside the cabin?

Thanks

 

Finished up most of the exhaust today. Still gotta make a brace off of the tranny mount and paint it black because it's natsy mild steel. Going to need to find a muffler of some sort soon cause this thing is going to be pretty loud :shock:

 

sweet build! what wheels are those?

 

i wish i could weld

 

build is sick got the same turbo as me

 

NFR is doing it! your car is coming along great, videos soon?

 

Made a bracket to support the exhaust off of the tranny mount, sturdied it all up pretty good. Got the exhaust painted and put on for the final time. Also got the intercooler mounts made and started on the hot pipe. Would have gotten more done this weekend but the starter crapped out on my Civic so I had to rig something up for that lol!








2" 45degree coupler, 2"-2 1/4" reducer to 2 1/4 piping
