Project LX-T

Well as some of you may have noticed I havn't really been posting much latley and I did have a project of turboing my LX I was planning on doing. Well here's whats been going on with that for anyone who is curious. I had to wait a while to get money and I had to have a bung welded into my oilpan. Well here some pics of whats been up


I just put the turbo in today after dealing with all the water and oil lines the other day. So now I have all the lines ready to be attached to the turbo after I buy a couple more fittings.

Now if I could only remeber where I put my oxi sensor

As you can see the EGR is once again my enemy. So I'm going to have Lou's Custom Exhaust fix that for me again....I wish I had a welder



Nobody told me that the dipstick on the GTs where different. I had to pull that out and re-shape and reposition it so the turbo wouldn't get in it's way. That was unexpected...oh well



Got the injectors in yesterday. God damit these fuel rails are a PITA do unbolt. Stupid FPR get in the way and then the line to that gets in the way. My friends honda was so much easier. Oh well I got them in.



And one last pic



Left to do

Install intake piping (Intercooler is already in)
Put in Oxi sensor (two second job)
ECU swap (another two second job)
Attach oil and water lines to turbo
Install MBC and set to 6 psi
Install downpipe
Put ignition and battery back
Take to Lou's for EGR

Then I will be one of the very few with an LX Turbo. I'll update when I'm done. Sadly I need another paycheck so I can go to lou's. So my goal is to be driving her by Sat.

<------......................... Go ahead.....hit the karma button.....dont be afraid.....
