And so it has begun again ladies and gentlemen. In case you people dont know my previous past with the last integra turbo, please visit these links so we dont double up on questions ;)

The new teg is a 98' model GSI DC4. I purchased it for $13,000 and heres a pic of when i first picked it up last week.

http://tinypic.com/65z674

Basically with the new teg i will we transplanting the turbo kit over or just transplanting the whole engine and box. Not too sure yet. Gotta check the compression on the new engine first. Once this is done i will be putting in a cushion button Xtreme clutch which i have already purchased.

The other thing i will be adding is a JG Edelbrock intake manifold, which i will be swapping my rear qtr panel off the old teg for.

Heres a pic of one off the net just in case ya's are not familliar with them.

So far i have given the car a good cut and polish and finishing wax to bring up the deep black paint. I have also put my old lowered springs in and put my mates 17" rims on too see what it looks like. The rims will be changed for these rims if i dont change my mind lol.

Now here are a few pix of the car how it looks after 4 days that it has been in my garage ;)

pro.
how much is all this costing you, i'm pretty sure if i wanted a turbo kit, i wouldn't be saying yea its going in next week. it would be like, in a few years if the intrest rates stay the same, exchange rate holds up, and the price of crude oil doesnt go trhough the roof, and i can take out a second mortage on my house, i will be able to install.

Yep, insurance paid me out for the car and i bought it back off them for $1500 so all i have to do is convert the whole kit to the new teg. Im saving heaps of money because im doing all the work myself.

Haha because an 'R' wouldav cost me minimum $25,000 just for the car and I only paid $13,000, plus the finished power results will be similar anyway.

The cars all put together now but ive come across a problem. Ive tried to connect the link piggyback to my ecu and found that the ecu pins have changed in this model. Ive searched the net and came across the ecu pin out description for this ecu. Tapped all the wires in but the car wasnt starting. Ive had to take the link back out and run standard ecu. Might have to give AVO a call monday to fix the problem. I'll post some pix up of the car tomorrow because its dark and freezing outside lol. Looks awesome!!!

Ok car was dropped off at AVO this afternoon. Spoke to Leo there and he said the way i tried wiring it up was correct but it didnt work. He's getting his autoelec to check it out next wednesday. I dunno if i can wait that long. Has anyone on this forum had any experience with wiring up link piggyback ecu's to a OBD2a ECU on a integra gsi????? HELPPPP????

29-06-2005, 06:30 PM
goto honda-tech for the pinouts of the ecu then google for the link instructions. the link is used in the edlebrock performer-x turbo kit for the 96+ EX Civic so there should be instructions around on how to wire it into a honda.

ok i got my car back during the week and was unhappy 2 see that this engine was only giving me approx 120kw at the wheels on 7psi. My old gsi was 128 @ 6psi. So last night i decided to take it 2 calder to see the difference. I havent put the clutch in yet cos i wanted 2 see how it went 1/4mile first. And guess what?????? I now have a 13 second car lol... car #129

If you look at the pic dude you can notice a wendy's fast food restaurant across the road, and then you notice the steering wheel is on the LH side of the car. I think he lifted the pic off the net dude.

Props GSI PSI you certainly made everything look easy! You have a sweet ride, that looks smoove, and has planty of go also :thumbsup:
