Monjarassi's 2004 civic si turbo build thread

As of rite now the Ep3 is going through another phase of power adding, completely removed the current top mount turbo setup and off itll go to its new owner!!

Also came to find that my FullRace 90degree coupler failed, who knows how long that damn thing was ripped!!

[MENTION=62]full-race geoff[/MENTION]

yea wish i could get a new one but afraid itll happen again

So this weekend i took some liberty and test fitted the sidewinder manifold, wastegate, and dumptube. The original path of the dumptube was a bust since it was designed to fit the jdl manifold and is meant for an rsx. But who said my dumptube was going down wards??? Onto cutting it and bending it how i want it.. Still waiting on turbo, new valvecover i have on the way and downpipe to continue. Getting close!!

Looks great! What's up with the top wastegate port? Looks like a poor angle, and subpar angling.

It's a single gate mani. Your probably seeing his dump tube poking up there. :thumb:

Btw- love the manifold and that bottom gate doesn't look too bad with the angle that flange leads in. Can't wait to see what it looks like with the turbo in there too. And are you running the dump tune up through the hole for your wiper arm? Looks like It. Lol

how close is the wiring harness and coolant hoses to the wastegate?

I see your point. It would probably be if benefit to make a shield for that area. But looks like coolant hoses are of no issue. Think he's running it without heat.

I'm thinking of adding another gate on my manifold exactly like that using a 90" weld elbow so it makes a smooth transition, BUT im scared about the wirign and coolant hoses.

I dont think you'll have much issue with creep, manifold looks good

Yes the original plan was to have the dt exit the hood but after mock up it wouldve been difficult to pull it off, so next was the middle hole for the wiper arm, its perfect with the right angle to it.

I no longer have heater hoses and my harness has been rerouted through the top of the vc under the spark plug cover. The only wiring ill protect is going to be the eps harness.

Got home after a long day at work just to finish fabbing up my dumptube, i got it to where im confortable but still need a lil more work to it..
Hope ya link my nice welding skills...
Tomorrow i get a package stay tuned!!

I've seen shitty as hondas at the track with that. Their exhaust comes out from under the bay and then straight up to a flapper like a diesel, but the car is otherwise like stock and just makes a lot of noise and goes slow :facepalm:
