Bro made a whole video to convince his wife he only spent 300 on the turbo
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If I told my wife I could turbo my D16 for 300 shed laugh and shit herself
Damn that looks really easy to do. Awesome video bro
German muscle Thanks and it wasn’t too hard. Just time consuming.
Title should read "Watch me install this hand me down turbo kit"
It’s a $300 turbo kit… of course it’s used my guy. Budget builds for life lol
This is the best turbo upgrade DYI I have ever seen. Slow and steady easy to understand and no TrapHop music drowning out everything. I’m going to order an Ashanti Turbo but at least I have a little more confidence than before 😅😂 #1 thanks!
I will be manual swapping soon! I wanted to thank everyone for all the shares/likes and the support! Couldn't have done this video without your help!
You live in texas now bro?
@@myker105 I have for about 4-5 months now. I love it here!
How far are you from grand prairie? Been fan since you lived in Kansas man would like some legite work done on single cam i got
@@myker105 No idea, I Live in copperas cove,
Ever get around to do the auto/manny swap yet?
Amazing job man! Obviously for someone who isn't a mechanic the $300 becomes $800 with the work and then add $200 for a turbo and some other money for the missing pieces. Even so having a turbo for $1300 or so is super cheap and definitely sounds amazing. Neat job!
Thank ya sir I'm subd now! I just picked up a 90 civic hatch for $700 have plans to swap to a D16Y8 and go cheap turbo kit, I can't wait!
I remember Turboing my D16Y8 like 12 years ago. Was the best thing I did went from a 15.5 on 50 shot of nitrous to 12 seconds flat on a T3/T4 turbo stock bottom end with AC and all the trimmings. Was the best thing I did. Now I own a B16A powered CRX and a B16B powered NA CrX both are fast or faster then with the turbo at that time.
legit one of the best videos on turbo installs.
That turbo sound was so satisfying
This is basically what I did when I first turbocharged my DA9 Integra back in 2003 (when I was 20). I bought one of the very first SSAutochrome turbo manifolds with a downpipe ($250), a Dodge Daytona T3 turbo from a junkyard that had an entire school bus full of random turbos ($50), a DSM side mount intercooler ($50), a set of DSM 440cc injectors ($75), a DSM BOV ($25), and I went above and beyond for a Zdyne Gold SECU ($1500) because I didn't want to blow up my 120k mile B18A1. My buddy tuned it on his DynoJet and it made 258 whp on 12 psi and was pretty quick. I had alot of fun in that car until the YS1 cable trans shot out every gear but 5th. I drove it home almost 40 miles with it stuck in 5th. After that I parted it out and scrapped the shell. I really wish I had just kept it and replaced the trans. I still miss that car. I sold the B18A1 to a kid in North Carolina who was swapping it into his CRX.
Man reading your comment set it in stone for me that I won't sell my car if it blows one day.
Big thumbs up! I just bought an EK Hatch and I'm looking at turbo kits for it now, I am SO PUMPED!
I love the way that color looks on that civic its so clean
Love the sound of a good spool up, the BOV sounds amazing. Great job on the tutorial, very professional walk through. T25's are great for beginners to learn on and they are great for 300hp setups on honda's. The T30 is great too after notching the block then pairing it with a Vitara internal build with a Savage camshaft and 450cc DSM Bluetop injectors = smiles for miles.
That was awesome thanks for the information, I understand how a turbo works much better now. Please make sure to post the standard transmission swap, really looking forward to that!
mrmundy78 oh I will!
Doesn’t matter if half is donated, this is not a 300 turbo kit
Same as I was thinking 🤔 and the other videos.. I really thought he was a really nice guy.. but most his videos he's on about how he's proven people wrong or that he doesn't care what people think and he'll paint his car how he wants.. I think its cool. But then again it seems kinda ass hole ish sometimes
cry about it
@@Bunguth like how he does on his videos?
@@cambodianboost3945 notice by the way he just slams stuff around in the engine bay, he's not a professional I don't think atleast, but he's probably just excited 😊 I agree tho, won't make it far clickbaitin
Amazing man! ! Thanks. ..your videos learning me many things about how all this thing are work in the reality :)
The best content I have seen
Under-rated channel
Moore my man......Multi Talented & Humble👍
Wicked video mate, great job on the turbo setup, that sounds saweeeet !!
That is a very beautiful color on that ride J I have an 02 civic lx auto as well going to be working on it soon since one cannot get out this is a great time to do these kind of projects keep those videos coming. You have just pushed me enough to get started. THANKS.
T
Terrence Coughlan Thanks T appreciate it! I motive y’all and y’all motive me so ima keep at it! Check for the newer videos :D
Look very professional bro. Love it
Nice video dude very explained and edited..
Cool little build man. Cant wait to see more progress
that ek dude For sure. I have more updates on it
Beautifully done my friend i have the same car
Man my 99 Civic blew a gasket, and it had had it done just about 10k ago, I think they shaved too much off the head, but I bought it in Feb, so yeah, I'm done my work, college, internship, and almost everything is on hold. I would try to sawp a new d16 in just to get back on the road, but no garage, not even someone's yard to use, living in the city man it sucks kinda. But live the vid man giving me hopes for the future man. Distant future
This a great detailed video 👌!
good stuff. i wish there were vids like this on the web when i had my teggy. i wouldnt have gotten robbed by the shops so easy
Get your fuel and timing parameters set along with the correct sparkplugs for the boost and fuel mapping, put a quiet exhaust on it, and paint the intercooler black and you'll have yourself a nice sleeper. 10 to 12 pounds of boost with a good tune should put a smile on your face. FlowMaster mufflers flow very well and sound virtually stock. Also try to get your airbox setup down low to hopefully duct in some cool air from right underneath the front bumper --- preferably a duct that will give the airbox some ram air affect. Late model Corvette front brake air cooling ducts are easy to find and are perfect for your application. 👍
I have yonaka cat back exhaust it sounds perfect when connected and VERY quiet but the downpipe issue has been resolved as of tonight sorta lol It was running open downpipe in this video. As for intake air box it will be hooked up once i get a slim fan because as of right now i can't even run a air duct to it because the automatic transmission lines/rad fan are in the way of literally everything. This isn't my first time with a turbo honda/ I have turbo'd quite a few but this one is my first with a/c lol
Amazing man I want that someday for my civic lxi
Damn great vid. Good edits
Nice! Feel like i understand a lot more if a Turbo setup is in the future
Sweet!!Looks Sick Bro! I'm Boosting My 2000 Civic Ex d16y8. Pretty pumped that is amazing though nice job!!!
Very nice presentation on a turbo install!
rmahi17 Thanks
This was awesome!!!!
Glad to see a boosted automatic I’m so close to doing mine 😂💀 I wanna see how long it’s gonna hold up tbh I’m excited to see where this goes tbh
Well i have been driving it daily since getting it done and its holding up great even without a tune! lol I know the transmission can hold up im just missing my manual lol
I’m building an auto civic too. I’m in jersey and driving a manual isn’t fun at all
Love the vids keep it up. Unfortunately everything is Limited on Guam lol and lots of engine parts here sell for gold. subbed, loving all your vids be safe god bless
Amazing ❤❤❤ Great Job...I'll be boosting my Automatic Integra soon...Thank you 😊
Boosting a auto😂😂 that's a waste of money and time
The color is awesome
I want a civic as a first car since they are easy to work on and i want to turbo it eventually and this vid is great because it show's that you can keep A/C
Awesome bro! I don't know if you did this already, but throw up a link on your other channel to this video. You're putting out better content every time, more people should see it!
Hiram Acevedo I will for sure. I’m sure my haters will follow as well haha
Great video very informative
876 Productions Thanks I try.
Thanks so much for the detailed guide, looks like something I could get done with help from some of my car buddies.
How well has this held up for you? I love the idea of building out my D17 but I also love how reliable my civic is, so I hope that doesn't become an issue with a build
You are a legend!!!
Same style clamps i use on my semi... Good clamps
"Out of money " boy, I can relate to that when it comes to my build
I love this channel
Hey man can you make a video on how to detail the engine bay? Your civic's engine bay looks very cool!
Great video !
Good vid brother very detailed as stated.
Maaaaan...you make this look so easy...gonna have to get this done at some point in the next 12 months on my civic project goku.
MrMoz0887 Heck ya if you need pointers let me know
@@TexasHondaChannel thanks buddy. Need to engine swap first or might even just work with the 1.4 90 bhp d14 I have just to be different. Seen a couple of threads online about a boosted 1.4 with decent results. Keep up the good work man!
MrMoz0887 Yea keep the D14 they aren’t really heard of and good engine!
D14z2 in the UK seemed quite easy to get hold of...although it took me a while to find one near me in good condition. But it's a revvy little number...lacking top end...but that's where the turbo should help. Good video man and looking forward to whatever you have next.
Beast mode
This build and your videos are incredible I've watched like 5 so far and I'm hooked.
ONLY question I can't find the answer to: Does your OBD1 pass emissions test in your state? I'm in NJ trying to do this build (with your guides ^_^), but I'm worried about the OBD1 passing.
Thanks!
The turbo sits so low with that adapter but i love it
I love watching your videos, you have a great attitude and you explain so clearly. I have a D16y8 I want to turbo but The motor has high mileage 247,000. But runs strong, any advise on this similar budget build
Plan to do this in the near future
Respect on full how to start to finsh
Just wanted you to know I like your channel so much so I had to come over and subscribe to this channel also and God bless you and your family also
I'm happy for you
I love it all!
darkcashyz Thanks check out how the car looks now in my newer videos.
Thanks for the video man, but how long did you run the turbo on the automatic trans and was it a difficult or expensive swap?
Thanks for the post brother. Honest about everything. I'm going to go with the billet version of this turbo for my d16z6. How did things go with your setup?
Great video
Hey James! Glad to see you're still doing good buddy! first one I've watched in a while and noticed sometimes the audio cut out or got super low to where you weren't able to be heard well... might look into a microphone you can hook into you're camera somehow, and keep on a clip on your shirt or something or an auxiliary mic and stand. Other than that, as always good videos and good luck brother! Miss you back home!
Dusty Belote I have a mic and it’s hard to wear at all times. I was using the mic 90% of the time during this but when I couldn’t because the wire was getting caught on stuff I took it off and set it by the camera.
Lol came here thinking I could do it for $300 too but I don’t anyone to give me 90% of the parts for free 😭
Fr
you need the headlight bracket that goes under the head light
Nice video, subbed 👌
moose1875 Thanks 🙏🏻 I have done a lot on this channel after this video so I should have some more decent content out. Feel free to browse or ask questions!
So pretty much have friends give you a junkyard turbo kit? Gotcha 😂
Sick keeping ac awesome
Good work
Thanks appreciate it.
Good vid man
Emilio Muniz Thank you
Is that the turbo bro 🔥🔥🔥
Crx Jojo it is!
Texas Honda Channel I’m excited bro
Nice vid, good info bro, have a 92 si hatch with a jdm b16 on it, want to turbo it and keep the ac. 💯👍👍👍
Jose Rotary I need to do another detailed update soon going over the exact ins and outs. I think this was detailed but I didn’t mention a few things. I will do a update soon
i have actually seen a video where someone changed out the rods and pistons from under a civic without pulling the motor lol
Richard E Yea it’s possible the only thing is I prefer to get the crankshaft micro polished and in order to do that you gotta pull the crankshaft out which involves removing engine or at least the transmission.
Texas Honda Channel I agree, personally I would never install rods pistons from bottom, but when I seen the crank from the bottom it reminded me of that video lol
@@xyzebruh1083 it's impossible to install rods and pistons from the bottom. Gotta remove the head to install pistons and rods, this practice is very popular on semi trucks where they do "in frames " which is in fact an in frame rebuild.
@@centraltexasfoxbodies why would you have to do that
@@snaxgalore5764 have you ever been inside of an engine? The pistons physically will not fit as a whole, it will in pieces though.
Hey brother good content man! What color is that color grey? I like it looks fantastic with the gold accents!
Idk if it’s just me but I think you forgot to put a exhaust manifold gasket. Good video. Great clear explanations good camera quality 👌
Ray Rivera Thanks I didn’t forget I just didn’t mention it lol. I got overwhelmed with all the stuff I was suppose to show I forgot steps. I tried my hardest to make it clear. There was a metal thing gasket on the manifold to adapter and adapter to turbo. 2 metal gaskets 1 metal gasket from head to manifold.
Texas Honda Channel I hear ya man life gets hectic haha. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Keep up the great work. 💪
Obviously do whatever you want but I wouldn’t even change the bolts through the crash bumper, looks fkn solid like that
I’d definitely put some thread locker in the bolts holding the return to the pan
Most easy to follow video thats easy to understand.
Will reference this when my ex gets out the shop
It was worth waiting for a video!!! Thanks for sharing man it looks pretty good.
I’m just glad I could get it out.
I’m glad you got it running. It sounds pretty good I really like that BOV.
This is the video was looking for.. great job. Explains everything.. just wondering if i could get the specs of everything as i m going to do this to my civic and links are not working
Thanks
every budget honda owner has a cracked windshield😂😂 you cant beat sleeper builds
Bruh are you using jack stands? My uncle never used them but one day a car fell on his head, luckily it didn't hurt him too bad but it only takes once man.
Fordman 1991 I use jack stands 100% I don’t always use 2 though lol
Fordman it’s really fuckin hard to use jack stands on an EK Civic because of the size of the Pinch welds
Eyoboyee Gaming through the floor
@@eyoboyeegaming1187 don’t put them on the pinch welds then dude. Look under your car and get back to me. You’ll see right away exactly where to put them.
@@selftruth9067 I meant the lift points.
Hey man, where did you get that lip from? I'm really digging it.
Definitely a detailed walk-through…!!
Just subscribed to you bro! I love civics I have a 97 sedan dx auto I want to turbo as well and manual swap preferred.
I will be doing a manual swap how to soon! Also welcome to the channel!
Couldnt find a better explanation of how to turbo a civic, I had an idea but now tht i seen how u did it. Is not hard imma boost my civic here soon
Jr Sanchez Glad to help! It’s nice having cold a/c with a turbo.
@@TexasHondaChannel have another question... the small pipe tht comes out the wastegate n goes down(open) now.. can u route tht small pipe towards the back of the car or atttach it to the muffler piping ? Reason i ask is because it gets loud at the engine cuz of tht pipe and sounds like u have a leak or like open headers.
First time watching and I enjoyed it, what’s the song at the end called?
Nice video
Where did you get the piping? I love it
Nice video, i wana put a set of chevy cruize turbos on my pilot like what i was talking to you about on insta
Hey im in desperate help!! I love ur set up and i really want to go the same route
i like ur color ! my civic is seadn too ! i have new idea hahaha thank you!!
What is brand of does headlights? They look sick 😍
Lol. Im currently doing a "budget build" on my Z6 and im well over 3 k. And its still not done. 🥴
Would you be able to tell me the name of the BOV you had. I'm really liking how you set yours up and looked like it was pretty simple to do.
Video of you driving around was on Stock ECU??
Your ganna want to put the oil feed from a sandwich plate off the oil filter I’ve had a line clog and destroy a turbo before from hooking the oil directly from the block
Do u have to do any software tuning on it to adjust the fuel with air flow
