Well, here's what I plan on doing. I want a sidewinder. Might be easier to get a sidewinder manifold, but I have a one-off custom manifold from SRT. It's a top mount, so my idea is to relocate the turbo next to the engine bay. I'm looking for that adapter, so I can get a 90* from the adapter to the exhaust housing. Simple enough IMO. Doubt there will be any creep, as I'll be able to add a wastegate flange to that 90* bend and properly incorporate a wastegate flange since my manifold doesn't have one, it's a part of my exhaust flange on the turbo.

I like the option that you do a sidewinder. But your wanting to keep this one off manifold from SRT. So I assume you could just do a t3 flange to a 3" pipe to another t3 flange. That would be your best and easiest option. Pretty much like what's on the picture of that Si above.

But the flow doh. I need a new hotside for my turbo regardless, so I might as well go vbandage no?
PetefromtheStreets
04-23-2013, 08:57 PM
Honestly the way I'm Envisioning this done is not going to restrict flow. Your simply relocating the turbo and shortening charge pipes which will reduce turbo lag. So in my eyes it is only going to benefit you. And you can get a vband hit side for your turbo and just have a vband welded to your 3" pipe coming off the manifold.
Like this....
Turbo manifold to t3 flange, t3 flange-3" adapter piping, 3"adapter piping to vband....to vband hot side of turbo.
I think you could do it that way or t3 to t3. I don't think flow would be affected much at all. I'm sure they make flare out piping or w/e. Take a look at Vit's manifold on myvtecbroke.com. There is no reason you couldn't get a pipe like his but that is designed for a square flange on each end...

I meant welding a 3" pipe straight to a t3 adapter, will that kill flow to the turbo? It would be T3 flange with 3" pipe welded to it, 90* to vband, and vband hitside of turbo. Simple as a pimple. But that flow, will it be ok?

Evap would go under, probably fuel too depends on how low it is. If its low enough i'd just go over the top by the cowl and wrap it in gold foil for the heat protection, aside from the obvious ballerific look of gold ish in your bay.

My guess is he's running an aftermarket fuel setup so he can route the feed and return around/under/out of the way of the manifold how he pleases.
I'm assuming evap would be deleted. At least mine was within a month of owning the car.

We have no emissions here :D
Adam_rsx we have tried everything possible. I have had 3 different people look at it all who work at a shop and so far no one has found the issue. Somewhere ground is getting power and causing the ECU to not power on. With no ECU obviously not fuel pumps, not power no nothing... We tried jumping the main relay to turn on the ECU and it blows fuses.

So, I planned on swapping fish tanks yesterday after work (~4pm) from my 20 gallon breeder to a 20 gallon long (freshwater). No reason other than I like the longer, sleek look on my dresser top over the big, unproportionate look. Well, that and my fish tank light finally went after 6-7 years. So, I used a temp $4 undercounter light from Walmart (as you can see) to give my fish light till I was home from work. And, since a simple 2 minute bulb swap was the perfect opportunity to do a 2 hour complete tank swap, I seized the moment. Before:
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/04/apu6ema7.jpg
I got all the stuff I needed ready for the swap process, and then something random happened. Someone in my house didn't realized they knocked one of those febreze bowl cleaner plastic clip things into the toilet somehow (the ones that clip onto the bowl from the side), so the toilet clogged. No worries, no doodoo or anything. Just water backed up, so a simple "lets snake it out quick" turned to shit real fast - no pun intended.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/04/8edeve5y.jpg
So, naturally, after 5 hours of plunging, snaking, toilet removal, more snaking, failing, more snaking, and toilet shopping, this is what we were left with at 930pm on a friday night:
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/04/bumu3u4a.jpg
No one had the specific bowl we needed. Thankfully we have a second bathroom on the 2nd floor.
Then, it was fish tank time. Long story short, I finished at 1am. Here's the result as of this mornkng:

Still need to do a couple things in the tank, black out the back and what not.

Well the one thing I noticed is your catch can is mounted right next to the engine air filter. I don't really like that idea as your trying to get the oil vapors out of the engine and intake track. I would see if it could possibly go elsewhere if it were my car .As far as the filter you could replace it if it bothers ya being dirty but that's what happens to them .The oil really doesn't look to bad to me and I can say this every Honda I have had with a catch can I have always smelled oil vapor especially after hard pulls.Your venting it to the atmosphere so your gonna smell the vapor especially if its being blown back to you by the cooling fans .

I never thought of that. Very good point about the filters being close. But would that cause anything? Also, last oil change I did, a bunch of water came out of my catch can. Only a little bit of oil blow-by though. What reason would there be smoke out of the catch can?
vdubkilla
05-05-2013, 08:53 PM
The only issue I see is it pulling in the oil vapor and possibly causing the cc filter to get dirty faster and we all know oil vapor doesn't help make hp .A little smoke from the cc is normal a lot is not good really depends on how much smoke we are talking about .Does your catch can have a drain back to the pan or do you drain it manually ? Condensation happens especially in cooler temps so if the cc doesn't drain back to the pan then the condensation is staying in the catch can til you drain it .

05-05-2013, 08:54 PM
I agree with vdubkilla the oils clean and for the location. The catch can, do you have any type of steel wool in it? Evidently you put some "0000" grade in it and it will liquify it and should be less vapors escaping the can.

It's only a little smoke, it's not like a choochoo train. It has a petcock :fuu: that I drain manually, and I figures out the issue. My CC is definitely filled with water. Listened to it last night and heard lots of gurgling. Going to drain it shortly. As for the filter locations, I have an idea:

s4 petefromthestreets
Thats what Mike Spencer, my original tuner, told me to run and I've stuck with it. (@soxfan143) Its mainly because the Mobil1 euro formula only comes in 0w40. The 0 is because the winters here can get very cold. And the 40, well we all know why. ;)
:yeahthat: why not try some amsoil or rotella t6?
I'm not a fan of amsoil, idk about rotella t6 but the mobil1 european car formula has the extra additives that the normal synthetics lack. Same with the Castrol syntec 0w40 euro formula, BTOG has some great info on those, and theyre simple enough to get locally
I know I've been on Bob the oil guy that's why I'm recommending amsoil or rotella. The rotella is a 5w40 diesel oil. Perfect weight for us IMO. What don't you like about amsoil? Their signature series is some nice oil!

Yea. All motor it sucked. Actually cut me down to going slower. Obviously you want some skip but there is a fine line between too much and just enough. It's hard to find that point. If you listen to that video of the black si you can hear how smooth it is. And that's cutting ignition on a boosted car which would make it pop more due to all that fuel. BUT mine sounded more choppy then his and I'm guessing it's due to all the fine tuning involved. It's just so complicated to get it to work How it's shown.

Yea me too, boosted honda life may bring b-series setups tho. Not that I hate them, but we really want all k-series setups. Then again, we could have sections for each type of boosted motor setup.

Damn! Now that is good time!
Well back from the track this weekend car went 11.0@ 131 mph had a great weekend nothing broke good time cant wait for 2012
Mods: I have put this here as this is generally only relevant to turbocharged Si's, if you feel it must be moved, go ahead.
I am a bit torn between what to do for my 'built' transmission to go along with my built motor and turbo setup. The car is a 2007 civic si with a GT3076 turbo setup on a stock motor, will be making about 450whp once tuned. This winter a mildly built motor (just pistons, rods, valvetrain) will be going in along with MAYBE upgrading to a GT35. When I swap this motor in (if my current trans doesn't break sooner) I will be putting in a 'built' trans that will consist of treated stock gears. I currently have a base rsx 5 speed gear set without the 4.3 FD and I have gears 3-6 that are reusable from my first z3 transmission (second gear as well as counter shaft, main shaft, and FD are not reusable) all sitting in my basement ready to be sent off for treatment, but to use either I need to at the least order a few bearings and a new FD. The two setups I have narrowed it down to are using the base rsx 5 speed gear set with a new z3 counter shaft and 4.7 FD (I will also throw my 6th gear on as well for highway cruising) or a 'hybrid' between the base rsx 5 speed and my old z3 trans consisting of the base counter and main shaft, so I would need a 4.3 FD, and I would use gears 3,4,5, and 6 from my old z3 transmission. Reason I am considering the latter option is because at 450-550whp(if I were to upgrade to a 35, I'd be closer to the latter) I will not need 4th gear to go to 140+mph as I will not trap that fast in a 1/4 mile. The 'hybrid' transmission would allow me to hit around 125mph in 4th gear at rev limit and that to me sounds like it would be much closer to my actual trap speed at this power level in this chassis. The odd thing about using the 'hybrid' transmission will be the spacing between 2nd and 3rd gear. Shifting at rev limit in second I will land at nearly 7k rpm in third gear, which may or may not be really weird. Below is a comparison of the two gear sets, the first compares the stock transmission (left) with the 'hybrid' transmission (right), the second compares the stock transmission (left) with the base 5 speed with 4.7 FD (right). LMK what your thoughts are as I do not have a whole lot of experience with gears other than the stock z3 gears, and maybe some of you could shed some experience for me that would help me make my decision.

Decided to go with the stock 6 speed but with a 4.3 FD instead of a 4.7. This will take 4th to about 124. I won't be putting this trans in anytime soon (hopefully). But I want it to be ready.

I agree.

09-11-2013, 01:03 AM
It's doable. Needs to be a build motor and tranny though. Know that, even with quick spool, that when you put your foot down you're gonna get nasty lag. around 6k that thing's gonna spool and shortly thereafter it'll feel like someone shoved you, not pushed you, into your seat - and that's if you catch traction. Say hello to 1st and 2nd gear, and depending on your gear ratios/final drive, 3rd as well. And I don't mean no traction, I mean no spool in 1st. Hardly in 2nd, lol. At least you can launch from a dig! Lol.
But on a serious note, here are the turbine maps for the GT3076R (which you're running now) and a GT4202R, respectively:

Way too big for a stock motor, the response will be terrible. You need a built motor that flows more to wake that thing up.

@Admrsx cool vids. I'm running 245's Z2's and still get wheelspin. The first day I put wheels on it grabbed really hard, still does, with no noticeable wheelspin but now I notice a little 3rd gear spin from time to time.
As for Californians going to other parts gor cars, well... I'm familiar with that. My brother sold his EP four years later with 14k for what he paid for it.
