d16 turbo ?

[dusAn]

Hey guys, a wrecker offered me a turbo off a civic which is the same engine as mine d16y4 but a coupe(mines hatch), im just wondering what would i need to take off it to install it into mine other than turbo, piping, intercooler, manifolds and bov? and how can i hide it so when i get my Ps i wont attract attention or cops wont see it?

Dusan.

No BOV's black intercooler, get some custom shield to go over your turbo, get a custom made airbox.. thats from the top of my head.. lol

wouldnt no BOV cause compression to build up in the turbo, and it has like some metal plate thats been cut and put over the airfilter and ontop of the manifolds already there but they look pretty dodgy.

hmmm not sure what state you were in but isn't it illegal to drive modified cars on Ps (so definitely turbo)? in which case if you get stopped, and you most likely will unless your car is absolutely stock exterior wise aren't you just making trouble for yourself???

[u mad?]

youre ganna get raped by the police

and insurance if you ever have to make a claim

youre still on your learners yes?


if you meant to say "and how can i hide it so when i get OFF my Ps i wont attract attention or cops wont see it?"

then disregard my post

^^ As above,top post!

yeh sorry when i get off my Ps, im not risking having it on my Ps but i want to put it together and have all the parts ready. or is it better just going for a already turbod car?

[beeza]

If it has low k's and has been kept well forsure because more than likely it will cheaper,all the issues have been dealt with,just step in and drive it!

But then again U might be the type who wishes to build it?

Need to write out ALL costs,O yes,there will be hidden costs too.

Then again,U may be rich so $$$ doesnt matter.

Because if it was me,$$$ is the issue and all answers have to take that into account FIRST.
