Dirty EM1 pics: B18 Tuuuuurrrbo

[Billy.]

im no photographer and i have a shitty camera, but enjoy the few pics i have of my newly boosted and very dirty coupe plz :D

questions/comments welcome

p.s. if someone wants to throw together a photoshop signature image from these that would be great ;)

[jdm98coupe]

clean as hell, looks like a nice setup you got there. what size turbo?

[stealthy]

what kinda manifold is that?

[EgHatch93]

Looks good man :)

[Billy.]

there's some body damage that really gets under my skin. the passenger door and front fender have a gash, the trunk has holes from the spoiler, the rear bumper has tooth marks from a fukin dog chasing my car, the front bumper has the fog light cutouts which are too big for the intercooler piping... lots of work to get it clean

its a garrett t3t4 57 trim with a custom handmade manifold and custom 3" exhaust

[ImportFan1]

Nice work man. The front piping needs a little work to make it fix better. I would try and get fogs in there as well. Looking really good though.

[EK|B]

Simply....AMAZING!

lol @ the VW emblem....V Dub right?

:cool: like that? i thought it was a nice touch. im not sure about the "turbo" badge in the front upper grill, it might be overkill idk

[Genuine Rolla]

I like the vw emblem in the back..! Nice touch.

Looks great man! I would definitely try something with the IC piping to see if you can get the fogs to fit. When I do mine I want to be able to keep my fogs.

trust me it was a priority to keep the fogs in but there just wasnt enough room for 2.5" piping to run around the back of the fogs. you can see how much the piping sticks out from the bumper, imagine how hard it would be to cram the piping plus foglights inside that space... just wasnt going to happen :cry:

[Hecz]

love the ram Horn!

[Scorchsta]

I love it man! Very nice! I like the 1.8T but I'm not feelin the turbo badge on the front, the intercooler is enough of a reminder ;)

im kinda feeling the same way about the turbo badge. it was pretty inexpensive so no biggie if i decide to lose it

[05]

the intercooler piping popping out the bumper looks way meaner than any set of foglights, keep it the way it is!

[buzzbombtom]

umm you seem to have some huge pipe on that ic. fix that

[WillyBigNut]

the ic piping doesn't bother me. The car looks really nice and i like the wheels. Good job dude.
edit: The 1.8t badge is cool but its a diff. font than the civic badge.. I would look into that.

[Destroy]

-remove the badge
-wash the car
-get off the grass
-take off the lip or paint it
-do something with those headlamps

[Flip8Speed]

very clean setup you got there....

[daboyu978]

holy turbo, car looks good

[CiVIcCFAsST]

car is cleanly styled, i likes, but man get out there and wash it, plzzz, rofl

[Billy.]

-remove the badge
-wash the car
-get off the grass
-take off the lip or paint it
-do something with those headlamps

wow, none of those things have ever crossed my mind :shock:
wait.. all of them have. but thanks for some imput :D


the wastegate starts singing right about 3.8 - 4k rpms, so thats full boost with 7psi

[JeShUa]

:cool: like that? i thought it was a nice touch. im not sure about the "turbo" badge in the front upper grill, it might be overkill idk
Yeah, that needs to go and the piping in the front needs to fit better as well. I'd be interested in dyno's :].

[Billy.]

i know the intercooler piping isnt perfect, but it fits. to get the driver side to look even with the passenger side there needs to be 2 additional bends and probably some frame cutting. ill get around to that later, right now its not priority..

the turbo badge is going to be relocated to the side of my PC case

[Hondaz4LYF]

Very Nice! I Like!

[97GreenEX]

Okay, I'll be the first to say it.
I hate you.
Because I love your car.

[el_betiyo]

Looks good bro, good job

[TypeSwede]

umm you seem to have some huge pipe on that ic. fix that

Ok, who gives a shit how it looks, bigger piping is much better.

[neoc03]

GD this is total BS when do I get a turbo. Oh look at me and my clean ass EM1 with a turbo. J/K Freaking sweet dude. I'll get there one day. Shes a beaut

[JerseyStrong]

oh man thats hot, the front mount looks fucking sick :thumbs up

did you do the install yourself?

[Billy.]

not always; bigger piping has a larger volume which means it takes longer to build boost pressure. 2.5" piping is what im using and it seem to be perfect for the job

it took 5 years to finally build and boost, you'll get there too someday. tnx for the com's

the intercooler is probably going to be powdercoated black like the charge pipe is along with the rest of the piping and the valvecover. no, i havent the resources to put together a setup like this. my thanks go out to David and Daniel at R&D Motorsports in charleston.
