what started as just fixing an exhaust leak by replacing the system with my pacesetter exhaust has turned into a whole new project. i did a lil of everything.

i started swaping the pedals for my 5spd swap.
i swaped my rug and ran system wires under it.
i installed my rear panels and leather seats.
start rewiring my alarm/remote start, and tach/podguages

Looks like a lot of work. Good luck! Cool steering wheel btw, what is it? One question: If you're serious enough to turbo your car, why do you have clip on pedal covers?

because i like they way the look

the steering wheel is a cheep ebay special, it looks better without the cover. i brough it for my old bmw but never installed it

Fuck off. I just don't get the ghettoness of the clip on ebay pedal covers you see on spray painted pieces of shit........ and buidling a turbo kit for a car that didn't ahve a turbo originally. One is ghetto and cheap and fast and quick, the other is a ton of work. . If you'd notice I also complimented his car, because I htink the wheel looks good. But of course, you can't acknowledge that can you?

seriosly im with you on the pedels, but no one verbaly assulted you. so why do u have to assult them. yes the pedels are ugly and dont even fit correctly, but he might not even be using them, maybe he did it so the pedels would stand out in the pic. i dont know what kind of car has a gas pedal that curves like that but your right y put hella time into a turbo project then use pedals that dont fit. just find a better way to word your comments cause sometimes u come off like a compleat ass.

actually the pedals fit perfectly, it jus wasent screwed on all the way in the pic. and they are real momo pedals, no ebay cheepies. the steering wheel that you happen to like so much however is a ebay cheepie and if you noticed, i have no horn button becuase i decided not to put the cover on, thats getto, not the home made turbo, not the pedal covers. besides. the pedals to grip better than the stock rubber covers wet or dry so i consider the a performance mod

It was just a question. I wasn't sure if it was a mock up, if he was going to weld them later, or what. But no, I'm not the odd man out. A while back I posted the same thing as another member, which was 'www.canon.com'. I got tons of shit for it. The other member (bobafett) got none. Why? Who freaking knows.

so where did you get that carpet? is that an eGay item or somthing? You sooo need to go t3 or t3/t4, that t25 is gonna run out of efficiency at like 8psi on this motor haha... What are your power goals? I rock the bare steel pedals in my accord, ive had bad experiences with the clip on pedals getting stuck in the carpet on the clutch pedal when it was a stock clutch, now i just avoid them

Use slim fans and reroute the p.s. line aound the other way and maybe modify the front mount bracket and that should free up enough room for you.

Thats what I'm doing by the way.

At first I was going to keep my AC, but gave up that idea once I looked at it closer. I was surprised at how much space I gained when I removed mine. The extra space will make manifold design a lot easier (and cheaper).

Since I have to replace my radiator soon, I will probably put in a smaller civic radiator too. It probably wouldn't be needed, but I figure I want as much space as I can get, so the turbo will be easy to work on.

If you really want to keep your AC, you might want to look at relocating some AC hoses, getting slimmer fans ( or push fans), or maybe a smaller radiator. Also a few people moved the battery, and mounted the turbo over there.

I can see you wanting your ps SQ but, you live in Massachusetts why on earth do you need ac? :p But looking good so far. Good luck! ps I like the pedals :)

in the summer, it get really hot around here. ac does come in handy. ill try to re route as much as possable. where can i find push fans. i was thinking of that idae yesterday when i removed the drivers side fan

Another pricey optino would be getting a compact universal AC system from vintageair. Check em out, www.vintageair.com. They might have something that would work for you turbo guys. :)
