I have the spacer & 09 IM. I tried to install the spacer and the electrical connector at the back of the TB was too high. I am going to try cutting a hole in the hood liner above it to see if that gives enough room, it is about 1/4" too high.

Ive heard nothing but good things about them. I think tjeres a guy down here with an old school datsun with that turbo. Im in love with the back housing on that turbo too.

looks like its coming along nice is that a new head or the one that was on it?

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

its another type s head from my spare engine. i dont want my cl to be out of commission so im building my spare engine. should be getting the block sleeved next month or early april. than all the goods are going to get bolted up

heres the turbo manifold bolted up and nitrous foggers installed

Jacobpockros

iTrader: (1)

WOW. Nice.

Is that spare engine your building from a CL motor?

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

What Honda is this from?

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

our engines, j32a1/a2 it just the back valve cover so u dont see it. which is stupid and u cant put the rear cover up front.

Jacobpockros

iTrader: (1)

FYI thats who makes/builds are cars

Rajca

The heads look nice, but Im curious as to how cooling is affected with the entire head being coated.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

thats why we have radiators, and im gonna have nitrous. so that should help out seeing how its gonna be my fun car and ill spray every time i drive it

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

you still got coolant going through them for the cooling, but yes coating them will make them run a little hotter due to the loss of being able to radiate the heat off effectively just from air flow past them

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

^also have the hood popped more air flow

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

If you say so.

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

x2, and the additional airflow probably won't offset the insulating quality of the paint/powder coating

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

turbo mocked up. has some surface rust from being in the garage for over a year.

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

, me want one

Nersh7

OMG I love it

Damn does it ever look mean being coated like that

phee

iTrader: (5)

i dont see how thats going to fit in your engine bay

Silva-type-s

iTrader: (3)

i was just thinking that to myself. the front looks fine, but the rear does not look like it will clear. i could be wrong though

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

The issue I see is the downpipe clearance. It looks like the turbo is positioned so far up and over towards the fender a 3" downpipe will be hitting the headlight.

Rajca - Did you ever do a test fit?

Jacobpockros

iTrader: (1)

i think the downpipe is way too long, but like everyone else says, we might be wrong

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Psssst, you mean the manifold/collector

Jacobpockros

iTrader: (1)

that's what i said jeeeeze learn to read......

abptltypes02

thank god i went and bought something factory turbocharged lol

good luck tom, looks good so far

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

it was test fitted on my tl. the down pipe him the trans. but the 6spd has a huge hole for it down pipe is close to the headlight but im gonna wrap it and hope for the best. need a slip radiator fan (already have) bc the front manifold will hit the fans.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

its tight but ill make it work

2Fast4you

iTrader: (1)

it would probaly be a good idea to do the mugen cooling mods or just take your thermostat out completely so you dont blow a head gasket. btw that turbo is enormous!

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

I know its huge. And a heavy as hell. Ill do some of the cooling mods

CL-Future

Looks like it's coming along nicely

Can't wait to see what it can do at Byron or Great Lakes

Jacobpockros

iTrader: (1)

That's the biggest turbo i've seen on for this car so far. (Besides ThinJim but his is a dragster)
