Official Project Welfare Log (56k go eat a snickers)Started here but moving it to a better place.http://efcivicsedan.myfreeforum.org/about1348.html Update 02/23/09 Had this laying around so I thought this would be a great time to use it. Supra CT26 
To go with that I picked up a HF manifold, DSM 450's, OBD1 conversion harness, 1g DSM SMIC and decided to use my z6 head. hehehehehe First local drag day is in June. Hope to have it done by then. Well then I got to thinking I need something to hook up with. Well I had bought these from my project rx7 which I traded off. So these are getting mounted on the 14" steelies off the si.

what psi are you gunna run it at? havent dealt with with turbos on hondas too much. is there a safe psi to run it at for daily driver? 8 maybe? you gunna try and update your fuel delivery for it? | ||||

Oooooo turbo.....I like | ||||
| ThurmanMerman |
Im gonna run off stock ct26 wastegate for now which I believe is 7 psi. Im hoping to be in the 170-200 whp range. I will have to see how the current fuel pump handles the increased load but I have a feeling mid summer there will be a walboro in there. Don't really need much other than those injectors and should be good for what I wanna put down but the ultimate goal is eagle/vitara build and 350+

lol always an awesome sound to hear. btw tho if i read right, anything over 7 psi tho you'll definatley need to update your fuel injectors. know a guy who just put a turbo on his 01, and set it up to 8 psi for daily drive, had to update his injectors. | ||||
| ThurmanMerman |
Im not using stock injectors. Im using DSM 450's. Ill blow the stock motor before the injectors get maxed out. |

you can use the 94-95 prelude injectors. thats what tomslick21 did with his 4dr zc sohc turbo. on my ej im boosting 10 pounds on stock gsr injectors car still runs rich its been a couple years! good luck! | ||||

Update: 03/11/09
Got some time in the garage after that hell storm. God I love working on frosty cold motors. 
Then found this bad news. Radiator support is bent on the drivers side. 
You can kinda tell in this pic that the top part of the headlight bucket is kinda fucked up. 
Is this the hole for the clutch cable??? 
Test fitting my 1G SMIC. w00t 
I hate axels.
I hate you auto tranny. Manta Ray agrees. 
This totally makes up for it tho. 
Now its on to tearing out the rest of the PS/AC shit. Freeing all the wiring from the chassis. Prepping the bay for a long needed shave. Still working on getting my EG Si rear brakes done. Should be off the car and cleaned up in a week or so. I also put one of the 17's on my car. What do you guys think? Only pic I got but you got the basic idea. Lowering springs already installed so that would be the ride height.

I think that intercooler is going to be sitting reaaaaally low.
Great place for it though. |
||||
| ThurmanMerman |
The is another guy that is local that has a similar setup and his hung down a little bit below the bumper. Hopefully once I put a VW lip on it will be covered up. We shall see tho. |
||||
| ~Sp33~ |
I wouldn't be worried about seeing it, just worried about hitting speedhumps and stuff that a lip would just flex over. | ||||
| ThurmanMerman |
Im not super worried about hitting it. My suspension isn't supre slammed. When I had my stock 13's on it I couldn't get the tire to tuck. |

Well project welfare might not be anything anymore come thursday. If you guys haven't heard. Fargo, ND is in a huge flood right now and my car isn't a huge priority out at the house right now. Don't quite know anything yet cause they keep raising the cresting level up on us therefore we have to spend more time diking the house. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. This is gonna get nasty. | ||||
| ~Sp33~ |
Best of luck

is this project really being funded by welfare checks:/ | ||||
| ThurmanMerman |
No this project is not being funded by welfare checks. Read my intro and you will understand. |
||||
| ThurmanMerman |
PROJECT UPDATE!!!!
Well finally got stuff settled down after the flood and was able to start getting more parts for my build. I traded off my ct26 turbo and other stuff for some rims and got this to replace it... 
SLS manifold w/ unknown turbo (think its a garrett) Should be picking up another 4 door ef in a couple weeks. Traded the interior for some stuff(not running interior anyways i think...). Putting manual window doors on there(I hate power windows). While its all apart its going to be repainted army/olive green. Hope to have more pics up by this weekend. |
