A couple of shots of my civic. I know the pics are gay, but its all i had for now.:rant: anyways… I just got done installing a homemade turbo in my fodo’. Its a b18b engine (stock) with a 57 trim t3t4 turbonetics turbo. Most of the turbo parts were bought [size=2]here, ubrf, [/size] and @ INNOVATIVE tunning. lol It took me 4 days to get this thing rolling. I spent about $1100-1200 for this project including a couple used gauges (boost and oil press). Not too shaby compared to almost 3 grand i spent 2 years ago for the drag3 kit. This is pretty much the same shit for half the price. I’ll be changing the location of the BOV this weekend. I want it closer to the turbo, and maybe even get a better one. (Tial) ONly thing needed now, is to get this POS tuned. _I wanna thank (MIke and crew) from Innovative for putting_ _up with my bullshit. I think i called the shop like 10x in_ _one day asking questions. lol_ _ALso (Zerodaze) for helping me trying to figure out what_ _was needed to start tuning, and (Turbociv) for offering to_ _teach me how to tune._ Thanks guys. Here she is. My sleeper 4 door. WHat do you think? Do i look gay in the last pic? lol ![http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/Estorvito/DSCI0407.jpg](http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/Estorvito/DSCI0407.jpg) ![http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/Estorvito/DSCI0411.jpg](http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/Estorvito/DSCI0411.jpg) ![http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/Estorvito/DSCI0402.jpg](http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/Estorvito/DSCI0402.jpg) edit: more engine pics coming soon ---
