Default Turbo Install photos are online...

I am not sure if I have posted this already, but I just wanted to throw it out there again because people are always asking for pictures. These are pictures of my converted fuel system as well as install photos of the turbo.

The katzkin leather is phenomenal. I love it. The suede is great also. The power increase was very noticeable and makes the car totally different to drive. It is so much more fun now...

/\/\ glad ya didn't use the injector block fuel system, hehe. I had a T25bb kit on my civic w/ the crappy injector block, but it did its job and ran 14.1's on 17s and street tires on 11lbs of boost

Is that a D17 engine in a EX civic? I would have taken a older civic & done a D16 build up, or a LSVTEC swap, but thats just me. Looks good, but I dont really like where & how that throttle body is mounted

Turbo looks sweet, but I think those fenders are the HotNess :

Yup, 02 ex coupe. Downdraft TB's are funny looking, haha. As for the d16's, yeah, built, those suckers are beasts, but i had nothing more than just a quick daily driven setup for the ol' civic, and it was more than satisfying.
