Turbo mani, I'm a welder for krist sake, I can weld me my own and be happy.. and there is enough of members here who can help me as it will be my first turbo build.

Re: The OFFICAL RENDON LX-i TURBO THREAD
^^as i said on MSN it may not be only the turbo as your motor sounds like its very low on compression on one cylinder.
-
Re: The OFFICAL RENDON LX-i TURBO THREAD
prolly number 3...but i just dont want it to smoke no more....if it comes down to it ill just do a basic rebuild kit for it.

Re: The OFFICAL RENDON LX-i TURBO THREAD
rendon does the turbo have any shaft play? What kind/size turbo is it? How did you get that single core radiator to fit like that? I dont think i can get mine to fit like yours... your using a 92-95 civic dual core yes? Im really liking your setup dood!

Sure is a 93-95 prolly fits most civics i just put 93 civic dual core radiator. Took me bout half a hour to get it to work. easy. Ill do a mini how to and send it via PM with pics.
Turbo is a Xs power TE04 T3/T4 hybrid .63hotside .50 coldside. NO shalf play what so ever all its doing its letting the oil go by for the fact of my Epic fail on the oil return. I cant wait to post vids again LOL.
Thanks a bunch man. IT really feels good to hear that from you since I learned half of my shit from you and i saw your setup from day one. :beer::bowrofl:....Cant wait to see your new beast. I just need obd1 man thats whats really holding me back from gettins some serious numbers I dont really push her really hard well i do HEHE but i dont take it to the extend where i think its goign to hurt the block.
BUt ill get that how to for you and for others if they having problems.

Re: The OFFICAL RENDON LX-i TURBO THREAD
Thanks Dude! Its just great to see guys still working on their old ass accords! Yeah im making progress on my car weekly, its 95% done, need to finish some easy charge pipes and the exhaust, and get a battery to fit and a little odds and ends. I wanna get it on the dyno this year so we will see. If i were you and the oil drain is fixed, you might be able to reuse the turbo as long as the drains in the centersection are still clear. One turbo i had, nomatter what i did, smoked like a mofo. I originally thought i had oil drain problems, but what it ended up being was the centersection oil drain passages were all coked up bad especially near the turbine side, keeping oil in the turbo and making it burn off. Yeah i know what you mean about obd1, the obd0 stuff is just wayy too sketchy to really get it running awesome, especially with ignition. I cant wait to see what you got planned next for your setup!
