Installing a $600 TURBO KIT on a B18 Swapped Civic! - Is it Any Good?

[@magnuslangvegg8005]

I was scrolling through the front page and the thumbnail "first drive in the drift truck" came up. Got all hyped up and then realized it was when you were towing it around the shop 6 months ago.

Life always surprises me, whilst on my way to buy a new double bolt for my bike, Gingium uploaded. Started watching him and he just taught me how to screw the double bolt in! Saved me a headache and tons of research, thanks bro!

[@destin6041]

That bung is probably going to have to be moved higher up

[@_Gingium_]

The bung on my Flyin Miata kit is a very similar location and has been for years. Oil will still drain out of the turbo. Why do you think it needs to be moved up?

[@destin6041]

Gingium it needs to be above the level where oil will sit in the pan otherwise it will not drain properly and cause the turbo to smoke. Especially with these cheap turbos.

[@curtisss]

@@destin6041 you're correct, can cause the turbo to have too much oil pressure I think? Probably not good for the turbo either

[@boostedz6670]

looked in the comments for this exact comment.

[@connoroedewaldt7509]

yeah agreed because other wise the oil could possibly sit inside the drain line and thats no good.

[@carsonk3]

That oil drain is to low needs to be higher on the pan so oil doesn’t sit in the line just better for the turbo just trying to be helpful

[@dimo956]

And I think so too the oil can stay in the line

[@jaketranberg5592]

Will not drain properly and the car will most likely smoke

[@ericxiong6582]

@@dimo956 ….oil shouldn't be staying in the return line. The main purpose is to dump back into the oil pan as fast as possible. That's how you burn up the seal on the turbo.

[@makeitorleaveit1]

Turn the turbo around and rise the oil return bung up around an inch so the sump oil doesn't block the return pipe, extending the life of the turbo :)

[@SpartanRacing1989]

This is literally the exact same kit I put in my first gen tC. Its surprisingly a good kit for what your paying for.

[@SpartanRacing1989]

The only thing though. Mine faces the opposite way.

[@jdm_tuneerz6517]

Can't you change the direction the turbo is facing to other side like normal boosted civics

[@logan4104able]

It's not even meant to be mounted like that, it was made to be facing the opposite direction. That is why they had to mess with the boost piping. It normally goes out in front of the driver side tire

[@alexstromberg7696]

Also, buy a real kit or just make yourself a "kit"

[@280zone]

thats what I was thinking it should mount to the manifold the other way but wasn't sure what that would do to the intercooler piping, maybe that is why it needed to be modified.

[@jacobvanderwoude4838]

It's a kit to keep ac compressor

[@ljphoenix4341]

@@_Gingium_ I see you wearing that Just Pasha KZbin hoodie at the start of the video bro. 👀

[@mouaxiong8618]

The reason why they face the turbo away from the right is because you can actually fit the AC and power steering pump, in some engines there's absolutely no space.

[@arthursandomine5464]

Nice one!!! The intercooler work looked AMAZING!

[@adjgamer]

All that space is because you have an AC saver kit. They're a God send for the people who hate the heat lol

[@imnota]

People usually cut the crash bar to put the intercooler higher, because unless it's really that small it will scrape on things. Also isn't that oil drain kinda low on the oil pan ?

[@_Gingium_]

It is pretty small. It fits under the stock bumper so I'm sure it'll be fine! And I didn't think so, but everyone is saying it is.

[@imnota]

@@_Gingium_ Yep, hope both of those will be fine :)

[@666hicat]

Can u please turn that turbo around please it will fit so much better

[@spencerratto9248]

it's not your car ,so you gotta live with your ocd

[@jokerdejesus4756]

The reason the turbo is on that side is because he baught the AC friendly one or it would be on the other side I just don't get one thing no low compression pistons man your brave it will blow up in no time

[@nickmoseley5968]

I went to college with gingium pretty cool guy.

[@benoitboucher2308]

The turbo is on the wrong side the cold side is to close to the transmission the downpipe wont fit because its on the wrong side and the intercooler piping will get in the way of the downpipe too

[@Clought]

yeah i figure someone was going to say this rofl... no idea what came across their mind thinking it looked right.. :s

[@Benjamin-gn2ls]

Yes! I've been waiting so long, for someone to do it.

[@wikto8145]

Hey Gingium, I don't want to kick the dead horse but the drain is low. Highest as possible is the best since it helps the oil drain back into the pan from gravity. Keep up the good work and I love the fact you are boosting a B-series!

[@jdm_john8240]

Wikto it’s low but it’s not way too low, the oil sits a quite a bit lower than that especially when running

@10:30 just turn it the other way? thats how mine is, but i think your manifold is the ac compatible one. and upon further inspection, it seems it is cause the way the downpipe is made.

I love people who just go for it and build whatever using whatever. I’m not a name brand snob albeit u do get what u pay for in some occasions. Realistically I would assume the weak spot in this kit is the turbo compressor shaft. But for 600 u can’t go wrong

[@volkswagenmadness3045]

John looks similar to Fogell/Mclovin from Superbad

[@thatslammed1034]

Turbo should be turned the other way shouldn't it? Makes more sense and would look better. Also that drain bung is wayyyy low.

[@jackpleb3259]

This went so much cleaner than Robbie Ferriera’s did 😂😂

[@MrOnlinmrine]

If you have an issue with the turbo having clearance then you can grind off a little from the block (right under the engine code stamp) and a little off from the casting to the right of it With that turbo kit you can run AC and power steering that's why there's so much space on the right lol Also definitely shouldn't use those cheap gaskets that they include. Either stainless or Copper gasket sealant

[@martinnadeau8844]

Crescent wrench worrior. I dig it.

[@VanLifeKen]

also the manifold is designed like that so you can retain ac and power steering if u so desire. atleast thats how it looks
