How i turbo’d my civic for $300 and kept a/c. (On a budget, Detailed walkthrough).

oh mylanta that sound so nice [Music] welcome to Texas on the channel if you're new here definitely consider subscribing so I spent a total of two hundred and forty nine dollars and ninety three cents for the intercooler piping log manifold and the adapter plate to adapt the tdo 5h turbo now I got this turbo for trade work I did so it didn't cost me any I out of pocket money I basically painted a subscribers car and he gave me this and a little bit of cash this line right here was absolutely free from a friend Jeremy Thank You Jeremy located here in Texas really appreciate giving me this line and some other couplers and stuff like that so basically the turbo and the line was free I spent I believe it was like ten bucks to make this from it was probably less than ten dollars to make this t-fitting this will go alright so what you're seeing on screen is the information you're gonna need to build your own t piece if you want to go that route it's a lot cheaper than buying them you can get this at Ace Hardware Home Depot or stores that are like that basically you will have three female ends at 1/8 and then you'll have an 8 male that screws into one of the spots and that's exactly what I did here and it works perfectly fine but oil pressure sensor is what a pressure sensor will go here this will go into the block and then the oil feed line will go in here and that just goes and screws into the back here block so basically we'll go ahead and get all this installed I know I'm still missing the Honda s 300 which is the preferred ECU for me I have some 525 CC injectors a subscriber sent to me black moon builds thank you for sending me that and the blow-off valve I'll be using that blow-off valve since I didn't buy one that didn't come with one so I'll be using that blow-off valve so so far this is the cheapest turbo kit I've ever owned and should work pretty well so we're gonna go ahead and install it and see exactly what we're missing and then we'll go for there alright so I'm going to remove the bumper luckily I have quick releases I'm going to undo these pieces and take the front bumper off take the intake pipe off and the exhaust and then we'll go over the intercooler kit and I'll show you all the details on that you all right so you're gonna need to remove the manifold some of these manifolds are already replaced mostly on Honda's you always find one with aftermarket headers but that'll help you in that case but if you're completely factory manifold like this one is these bolts can be hard to remove so you're gonna need a spring with like a PB Blaster or some best line or something to remove the rust you'll have to disconnect the o2 sensors that way you don't get snagged up on them so that's the first thing you need to do is remove those are two sensor connectors now on the blocks right here they have a spot where there's bolts that hold it to the block those are already removed on this one I'm gonna go ahead and remove the 912 millimeter bolts and then we'll go underneath the car and remove the ones that we need to down there now that I got the bolts off up here I'm gonna go ahead and focus my attention down to the bottom side of the manifold all right so now we're underneath the car this is the downpipe where it connects to what would be a catalytic converter in my case is a test pipe there's a 12 millimeter here and a 14 millimeter here you'll remove both twelves of both 14 and then this will come loose and typically right here there's a bracket that has two 12 millimeter nuts that holds it to the engine I've already removed that in the past so I'm gonna go ahead and remove the two twelves in the two fourteens now that you've removed those bolts you can go ahead and pull the manifold down alright now that we've got that out we have plenty of room to put the turbo and turbo manifold in and make sure everything mocks up pretty good to put the log on and see how it does everything seems to be bolting up pretty good so that's definitely the right manifold all right now that we mocked the manifold up we know it fits we're gonna go ahead right here and take the adapter we're gonna install it now this did come with the gasket so we're gonna put that on first alright so here is the gasket now I'm glad they sent me one of these verses those crush style because these metal ones are a lot better and they don't blow out nearly alright so I'll be using this Permatex thread Locker right here on the studs this will keep it from backing out as we drive down the road stuff works pretty good now for this part I'll be using a washer and then a lock washer plus the bolt that way they won't vibrate loose alright now that we got that all adapted we're going to go ahead and test fit it on the car all right so it turns out that it's hitting right here I'm just gonna have to grind this piece off and it should go in all right so it's in there it's really really close to the AC compressor so I might have to get an aftermarket downpipe just to kind of make it a little bit more narrow but overall it does technically fit I just do have to make some modifications so now we're gonna look at the intercooler kit all right so this is the intercooler kit this is the pipe that goes right to the throttle this is where the blow-off valve goes we'll be using some gasket sealer around this since it didn't come with the o-ring which will work perfectly fine for sealing the blow-off valve now if I run a lot of boost I will have to get an actual gasket but for five to ten pounds it'll be fine yeah it came with all the pipes and they're wrinkle black a nice little coating on them really nice because it has some pretty thick rows with good cooling fins so this will actually work really good for it will be hot air down pretty good so we're going to mount this up on the front of the car with these mounting tabs will just be drilling holes and using bolts in these I will eventually end up making brackets and welding them to the car but for now this will work fine the method we're gonna use so let's get started on putting all this in alright so as for the intercooler piping over here we actually have the bend which will go around like this you'll adapt it right here using the clamps provided these right here are the best type of clamps you can get for a turbo system they're very strong and they hold up really well now I'm gonna go ahead and take the couplers that are the appropriate size and adapt these together so that's looking good now we'll go ahead and do the passenger side and we'll get the intercooler all mocked up right here is the pipe that will have the blow-off valve it'll go like this I put the couplers and claims Rd on it it'll be adapted up here at the throttle all right so I found a light I'm gonna use these allen screws and put the blow-off valve on all right now the blow-off valves on this is all tightened down I'm going to focus down here and attach the lower part of the intercooler piping all right got that connected now we'll move to the front now that's basically how it's going to look once I drill the holes to the very top of the support bar and then there will be bolts that hold it to that and we can mount up the driver's side you all right so I found two bolts that actually have decent length to them that will fit through there these are actually bolts from an AC unit on a Civic they work pretty good so we're going to use these all right I finished the driver's side unfortunately the video cut out basically just bolted this side up it is pretty smooth and easy that's for the bottom of the turbo I still have to make a pipe that bolts right here to this flange off the down pipe to go back to the catalytic converter or the test pipe now here's the oil drain this is where the oil drains out of the turbo and back into the oil pan now I need to make a spot up high that way when it drains it just drains right in you don't want it to be down below because then the oil come back up through it and cause a flow issue alright so this here is the oil return that's factory up here is where it bolts I'm basically just gonna chop it off right here with a sawzall and chop off this end with a sawzall that way it's just a nub sticking out and then I'm going to take the oil pan off drill three holes and bolt this thing in there like that that way once it's bolted there and once it's bolted here I'll just run a rubber high-pressure hose so that it connects the two of them so I'm gonna have to take the oil pan off drill some holes gasket seal some stuff and you should be good to go on the oil return all right so I already installed the oil drain on the turbo I already cut the line so I've got two pieces ones already on the turbo now for this piece I'm gonna go ahead I've already cleaned off part of the oil pan I'm gonna mark where I want it and then we can take the oil pan drain all the fluid out and drill the holes that we need to drill you now once you've got the oil pan off like I do make sure to have something underneath to catch all the oil that will drip off of it a large drip pan would be preferred but if you don't have that just put something down to catch most the oil it will start slowly dripping so just be warned on that all right this is a really good time to make sure everything's lined up properly so basically put the thing over making sure that all the holes are lining up before you drill because you only get one one shot at this and if you screw it up you get to go get another oil pan so make sure that all the yellow dots are in the right spot and this one was not so I'm going to go ahead and move it over a little bit we will be cleaning this out afterwards but we want to reduce the amount of metal shavings that get in here that way we don't have those circulating in the engine because that will cause some rod bearing failure so I'm gonna go ahead and drill these holes all right there it is the holes are drilled everything's lining up absolutely perfect so now we can clean this thing up while it's out might as well and then we'll apply some black gasket maker and bolt this thing in if my welder wasn't out of wire I had actually a tack weld these nuts on the backside but I'm out of wire and I'm out of money so I'm just gonna tighten them down really tight I'm gonna put some Loctite on them so I'm gonna go ahead and clean this thing up get the Loctite on these put this all back in and then we'll reinstall this back on all right so I double knotted it just to be sure use the lock tight and everything's looking good so now we're ready to put this back on the car the gasket on the car is fairly new so I'm just gonna re gasket seal all the way around and then bolt this thing back up all right so I connected the oil drain and everything's looking good I painted the oil pan while I was down here thought why not make it look a little bit better everything's tightened up all the bolts are in and it's good to go so we'll put some oil in it tomorrow so now we'll focus our attention towards the oil feed line right here is CV shaft and above the CV shaft is the oil filter now above the oil filter is the sensor here now you'll disconnect the single wire that's on it and you will remove this sensor this is a a 24 millimeter so get yourself a 24 millimeter socket stick the 24 millimeter socket on there and loosen it up and this is where your oil feed line will run this sensor will plug into that oil feed line housing and I'll show you that in just a moment all right so here's the tee piece this is a male 8 this is a female 8 and this is a female 8 so I got a female 8 3 way I put a male 8 in and this is the oil sending unit we will put some thread tape on this before it's official but you'll basically just screw it in like this tighten it down doesn't have to be done outside the car it just is easier but uh you'll take this and you'll screw it into the block obviously putting some thread tape on there and then your oil feed line that goes to the turbo will come out here and go to the turbo and then you plug your sensor back in that's basically what it should look like after it's all done I'm gonna put the new oil filter on and we'll put oil in it tomorrow and fire it up all right so I have to trim the bumper right here that way that it can bolt up to the car because right here is touching the intercooler [Music] you you all right there it is back on doesn't look too bad you can see the intercooler from behind if I really wanted to go sleeper I could paint it black the gap right here is my issue it's very annoying and it's kind of pushed in the bumper a little bit so I'm gonna have to figure that out probably scoot the intercooler back just a little bit and then it'll be good all right so it's been raining here it's finally stopped so the exhaust manifold be nice and rested but we got all this stuff done went and bought some vacuum line and I plugged it in back here the back side the intake manifold ran it directly the blow-off valve down at the turbo it goes right off the wastegate to the turbo got some oil in it now so we're ready to fire it up and see how it sounds so go ahead the rain sounds good we do have to get a aftermarket jumper in that way we can connect this to the back half of anaka exhaust but we don't have a boost gauge but we're gonna go take it down the string anyways I prefer to have a tune so if you're gonna do this make sure to get a tune before you drive it all over you've got its creation we're running up wastegate pressure so it's running off the factory internally wastegate it should be like 8 psi or something like that I'm not exactly sure but we're gonna go ahead and take it down the street and see how it does so if it blows up guys I'll just swap it out and y'all get you guys will have more content but definitely don't recommend driving it without a boost gauge because that is a very bad idea I'm not gonna get on it too long but I want to hear that blow up and I want to give that turbos that sounds so good no I love how it sounds alright so here we go we're gonna get on it a little bit my land - that sounds so amazing yes I said oh mylanta jeez that turbo sounds an absolutely wonderful [Music] nice it sounds really good well I'm impressed with it I'm gonna let it sit and cool down for a minute since we don't have the coolant lines connected to the turbo but it should be fine feed-line I think I'm just going to get a entirely brand-new feed line this one was free and a little abused but that's pretty easy but definitely getting a boost gauge and pawn data s-300 and converting it to over t1 that way we can get a good tune on it because I don't want to blow it up but if it happened to happen beautiful so I want to thank you again black moon builds for the blow-off owl sounds fantastic and I highly recommend this intercooler kit for anyone wanting to turbo because it's pretty straightforward Bolton real easy and it seems to be holding up pretty good so link will be in the description for that I hope you guys enjoyed the video this one's taken me quite a while to do I've got over 9 hours worth of record time so I probably have at least 8 hours worth of editing to do so I hope you guys enjoyed it I still have a few other things to do like get the intake pipe rate across with the filter but I have to get a slim pan before I need that in turbo and I'm happy the automatic did pretty good it will be getting manual swap so it won't be staying like this forever so definitely stay tuned to the channel hit subscribe if you haven't already and drop me a comment below let me know what you guys think if you aren't following me on Instagram you should do so because I've been posting updates off of YouTube on Instagram link will be in the description for my Instagram so I hope you guys enjoyed the video I'll see you guys in the next one god bless [Music]
