    Poita's FA5 600hp Turbo Build

    So when I bought my car in February 2012 I thought I would never need to boost it, but I couldn't be more wrong...
    By the time, a friend of mine borrowed his turbo Civic (350whp/TZ517z) and I was sure that was what I needed and bought everything to get the same setup.
    But then in August, my car started doing that *metal being chewed* sound.

    Result:
    Corn Flakes in my oil pan




    So I decided to sell the first turbo kit (T517z / tsi log manifold) that never happened to my car and started upgrading the internals at my friend's garage.

    The car actually has:
    - EV4 DW 2200cc
    - Wiseco Pistons 9,8:1
    - Carrillo PRO-SA rods
    - Hondata Traction Control
    - ARP Head and Main Studs
    - RSX Type-S Pump (I have an ERL s2k pump @ home now, but srsly I tired just about thinking on installing it)
    - Bigger ebay brand radiator
    - Inugel + Mocool
    - Full-Race 3" Exhaust
    - EFR 7064
    - Full-Race kit
    - Single DW300 pump
    - Ethanol (Our ethanol has no blend, so you can call it E100)
    - Clutchmasters FX300
    -Returnless
    -HFP Suspension
    - Torque Damper
    - Hybrid Racing CMC
    - HR shifter cable and base bushings
    -Accord brakes

    I've bought what I think I need for the return lines, but they may delay a bit to arrive

    My goal is something around 600whp maybe 650. But all I know is that my gearbox won't hold for long... Still thinking of something about it.

    Now some pictures:


    Engine out...

    Engine ready to go in!

    6 months later...



    Everything wrapped...


    Wastegate clearance from the firewall


    I decided to assemble the kit without removing the engine, that saved a lot of time...


    Traction control color's mindfuck: South American FA5 ABS wiring has different colors... But in the end I managed to make them work without having cut all the wires my eyes could see.




    Dunno what to do yet with this... Gotta think a way to improve clearance on the exhaust, because the banging is driving me nuts...
