Also rendered the pod useless when the oil going into the turbo ****ed the seals and went all sprayed all over the intake. It was abit of a mess. Like i said thats why i re did it all :)

Yeah, that's sounds a mess but at least you fixed it all.

But i really want know is that if anything else fail due to extra stress and constant abuse from the turbo.

What clutch did you use?

I used an excedy sports tuff clutch. clutch and drive shafts would be the ones to watch for, ur not putting out massive power so it shouldnt be too much of a problem

What power would f**k the drive shafts?

I'm running an Extreme clutch rated to 250kw so that's no problems :)

What power are you making?

also depends how harsh ur power delivery is how much stress it will put on the drivetrain

but from what i can gather off other people around 200kw's it can start to be a problem, so u shouldnt have anything to worry about.

Here are the final pictures for this civic projects.

Parts and the car will appear to the " Parts for sale" and "Car for sale" section shortly.

Still looking for a good reason.

Let's just say the car deserves better attention than what I am willing to give.
There is something else raising my heart beat more than boost.

I have only driven less than 2000km since I owned it. It still have plenty of potential.

:wave::wave::wave::wave::wave:

how much KWs does it give with the turbo kit installed?

Front strut brace and lower 4 points bar

that 4 point brace is total rubbish.

I installed one on my dc2r.
Low and behold, one day i look under the car to find that it was totally snapped in half. I couldn't even remember hitting anything.
You yourself can confirm that it is vrey cheap looking, light and flimsy.

just my 2cents
