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 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...
