93d3ls0l Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 ok so heres some pics of what i've had to do to my new civic to get it lookin sharp and on the road this is the old car after i stripped parts off for the new car the new car stripping parts off the new car being a dork while my girl took pics new car with old cars body parts spray bombing it.... i know i know. lol being a dork again putting my girl friend and lil sis to work cleaning the interior after everything was done ill get some more pics of the finished product tomorrow it took me 2 and a half days to do all the body work and swap motors out i started monday night at 6ish and finished this morning at 10ish. its really smooth drives nice started right up first try, the only thing ive noticed is after driving for like 20 minutes the c.e.l comes on it doesnt throw it into limp mode and as soon as i cycle the key it goes away for another 20 minutes or so i think it has something to do with the coolant perhaps. im not exactly sure i got figure out how to get it to throw codes i tried cycling the key 5 times but that didnt work. so ill look it up tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be just about a complete swap. check my build thread for the info on it..the info should be on the first page or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that sounds a lot but it's more than half of what I payed for it, and about what you would pay for in just parts never mind all the machine work. Also comes with dsm blue top injectors installed. The resistor box is already soldered/shrink wrapped into the harness too. So no need to get something from xencron. Oil pan already has a drain line on it as well. The dsm T25 went like a rape date on this engine. I just used the stock wastegate that came on the turbo and it consistently hit 15psi. Other than the turbo seals going bad on me, the set-up worked flawlessly! Never had any oil leaks or boost leaks right from the first start up. Unfortunately I never got to dyno it because the turbo seals Sh*t the bed out on me and I couldn't afford to replace the turbo with a brand new one and then get tuned.. *Any other questions dude hit me with a PM so I don't miss the reply again. I'd be more than happy to answer them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more than happy to answer them. yeah ill have to get back to you about that at a later time cause atm thats deff outta my budget. im going to just boost my stock internal at like 7-10 p.s.i and keep my fingers crossed i need to find a cheap t25 tho. this kid up here by where i live has one in like new condition with less then 10k on it for 200 bucks it comes with downpipe and hoses but im not sure if i wanna spend 200 on it. did you run coolant hoses or just use oil lines? cause i think i might use both to prolong the life of the turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
