this is a good thread, and everyuone thinking of running this crap should read it. It will work, but requires alot of mods.

One point.
Get an oil retstrictor. The line that came with the turbo was 'not too small' Turbos only need a thin, 15psi or so squirt of oil. U will oversupply and blow ur oil seals in no time. Espically which a budget chinese turbo.

Tim has been great but i am still waiting for the exhaust shop to be free so the exhaust can be custom made.

You have been supporting me with all the Xforce products. People on this forum would know you have all the Xforce items.

It is time for "Race Nation" to sponsor this civic ( or Combat Wombat as Tim calls it)!!! I am sure you can spare me some parts

Hi, there is no new picture yet but here is the update:

1. Waiting for the delivery of the 550cc injectors, 255LPH fuel pump, strut bars and gauges.

2. Selecting clutch and flywheel at the moment

3. Waiting patiently for the exhaust shop to free up and do my exhaust.

I will update this thread once those are done and ready for dyno tune.

Thank you

I thought all turbos need a restrictor anyway, except the ballbearing turbos because they already have a restrictor fitted?

**Limbo** · 28-11-2007 09:23 AM

They all need a restrictor, some have restrictors built into the turbo, doesn't matter which turbo you have. Not all ballbearing ones have restrictors either.

hey mate good work, i dont really think u need a new fuel pump, the stock one should handle around 180hp

your getting 550cc injectors and running apexi? im not sure but does the new apexi neo allow more then 50% adjustment to the fuel curve?

try be very careful with the oil drain if your using rubber , a guy at the track had his catch on fire because it leaked and went all over the downpipe....

it ur ganna run more then 6-7 psi i think fuel pump is a good idea. remember more boost the more fuel u need to get up to it
