Project part 2, new jdm route.
Turbo Mini Forums

Looking good mate, good progress.

Shes back on the ground :)



Hopefully engine together and in this weekend, depending on how quick i get a private job done for some spending money on saturday.

I can now see why the allspeed tie bars are bent i have no steering lock whatsoever lol, might have to get the heat on mine and tweak them.

Looks good! Japs the way forward! :). I wish i just put a bend in some normal tiebars. I bought the allspeed ones and there not cheap!

Im trying to save money mate, im just hoping the allspeed ones armt much different in length, same with the bottom arms, there not adjusted but ive got massive negative camber at the moment :s ill find out soon... Haha

Small update:







Got to level it in the week...

Looks good rick good work

What internal clocks you planning on going for?

Honda mate, seems the easilest way, ill run them centre clock. I recon i can blen them in tidily.

Cool will look forward to seeing how you complete more on this build good luck feller

Well the easy bits over now, it gets complicated from here....

Looking good dude!! glad to see its coming on well now :)

Looks good however its a shame mra fucked you about then you would not have lowered your standards by going jap

looking good mate ,the dreaded wiring next?

give em hell

Yes i hope i dont see the cunt out anywhere as im not sure how i would react, so ive avoide going near his unit or house, i do really want a turbo a series at some point, you cant beat the a series sound.

Ye the wiring, and manifold cutting next... All fun.

Well. Very bad progress this weekend.

All started well...

Honda sides on:



All good. Then the mini side were a bit tight. Getting them off fucked them both, driveshafts were ok tho.





Think the shafts are just that tiny bit too tight. So a bit pissed ive gotta buy 2 new outer cvs, gotta give allspeed a ring and see what they say.

So no progress at all on the grand scale of things.

This next bit may be helpful to you turbo users. Managed to get my integra dc2 pump into the mini tank, to say its simple is an understatement, it nearly fits in the mini cradle and is pretty much a straight swap.





So for those with spi tanks wanting more pressure. I recon this is a good cheaper option than an mpi tank.

Never thought id say this but im now looking forward to the wiring.

Got my manifold to butcher today. Looks fairly tight already so ill try it at the weekend and see where we are and what needs cutting.



Dont mind paying 120 posted to play with...

And the rest of the exhaust arrived:



Wanted twin box to calm it down a bit... And so i can hear the itbs better

Looks good mate. Hope you managed to sort your driveshafts. Im gonna be cutting and welding mine

looking good. im so jelous of the progress! the gf is taking up all my time and working OT to get more money to fund it. :(

Driveshafts are going back to allspeed for teasting as there a tiny bit tight. But apart from that its not too bad...

Jonny i thought progress was slow :0 havnt got much done in the last 2 weeks.

you could nicely bolt a turbo on the header

Yes i moved to the darkside

Future plans may include a turbo... For now its na itb's tho

well i started a full rebuild on mine over a year ago and i havent got much to show for it. still in the process of cutting rust out!

I like this i also like the honda conversions when done properly. I have thought about a b18 screamer in the past a friend of mine had his eg civic with 240bhp at the fly n/a tuned it was a beast reved to 9000+ rpm.

Drives
-Ford S-max Mk2 Ecoboost
-Rover 100 VVC #2 - track project

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

The aim for me is that it dosnt look like a honda from the outside. Its gotta look unsupecting, hence the twin box exhaust. Dont want people hearing and seeing it and saying thats not a mini. Dont want the usuall out and out vtec mini.

just read the whole thread... loved every second of it.. cant wait to see more..

keep on keeping on

About time i started on this again after a heavy december period...

Driveshafts built up (very happy with allspeeds customer service i have to add, :) )



New alt pulley on, goong to make a ss mounting system now i have ordered some tig rods:



I know its probably the most boring, and least productive update on here, but fingers crossed some better ones to come.
