Bro made a whole video to convince his wife he only spent 300 on the turbo
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If I told my wife I could turbo my D16 for 300 shed laugh and shit herself
Doesn’t matter if half is donated, this is not a 300 turbo kit
Same as I was thinking 🤔 and the other videos.. I really thought he was a really nice guy.. but most his videos he's on about how he's proven people wrong or that he doesn't care what people think and he'll paint his car how he wants.. I think its cool. But then again it seems kinda ass hole ish sometimes
cry about it
@@Bunguth like how he does on his videos?
@@cambodianboost3945 notice by the way he just slams stuff around in the engine bay, he's not a professional I don't think atleast, but he's probably just excited 😊 I agree tho, won't make it far clickbaitin
Damn that looks really easy to do. Awesome video bro
German muscle Thanks and it wasn’t too hard. Just time consuming.
Title should read "Watch me install this hand me down turbo kit"
It’s a $300 turbo kit… of course it’s used my guy. Budget builds for life lol
Ya like I don't understand like? Why the hate? Sounds jealous sombody didn't offer or give or want to give you a turbo? That's ok wish sombody would give give me a turbo to lmao but I'm not going to hate bc sombody els was given one *SALT* Lmao
Bruh are you using jack stands? My uncle never used them but one day a car fell on his head, luckily it didn't hurt him too bad but it only takes once man.
Fordman 1991 I use jack stands 100% I don’t always use 2 though lol
Fordman it’s really fuckin hard to use jack stands on an EK Civic because of the size of the Pinch welds
Eyoboyee Gaming through the floor
@@eyoboyeegaming1187 don’t put them on the pinch welds then dude. Look under your car and get back to me. You’ll see right away exactly where to put them.
@@selftruth9067 I meant the lift points.
Lol. Im currently doing a "budget build" on my Z6 and im well over 3 k. And its still not done. 🥴
Thank ya sir I'm subd now! I just picked up a 90 civic hatch for $700 have plans to swap to a D16Y8 and go cheap turbo kit, I can't wait!
Glad to see a boosted automatic I’m so close to doing mine 😂💀 I wanna see how long it’s gonna hold up tbh I’m excited to see where this goes tbh
Well i have been driving it daily since getting it done and its holding up great even without a tune! lol I know the transmission can hold up im just missing my manual lol
I’m building an auto civic too. I’m in jersey and driving a manual isn’t fun at all
that is impossible, has to be some sort of camera trick
you cant just turbo a car AND keep AC aswell
Lol came here thinking I could do it for $300 too but I don’t anyone to give me 90% of the parts for free 😭
Fr
I will be manual swapping soon! I wanted to thank everyone for all the shares/likes and the support! Couldn't have done this video without your help!
You live in texas now bro?
@@myker105 I have for about 4-5 months now. I love it here!
How far are you from grand prairie? Been fan since you lived in Kansas man would like some legite work done on single cam i got
@@myker105 No idea, I Live in copperas cove,
Ever get around to do the auto/manny swap yet?
Hey is there a way you'd be able to update the amazon links to the parts you bought? 3 out of 4 aren't working anymore, thanks in advance. :)
i have actually seen a video where someone changed out the rods and pistons from under a civic without pulling the motor lol
Richard E Yea it’s possible the only thing is I prefer to get the crankshaft micro polished and in order to do that you gotta pull the crankshaft out which involves removing engine or at least the transmission.
Texas Honda Channel I agree, personally I would never install rods pistons from bottom, but when I seen the crank from the bottom it reminded me of that video lol
@@xyzebruh1083 it's impossible to install rods and pistons from the bottom. Gotta remove the head to install pistons and rods, this practice is very popular on semi trucks where they do "in frames " which is in fact an in frame rebuild.
@@centraltexasfoxbodies why would you have to do that
@@snaxgalore5764 have you ever been inside of an engine? The pistons physically will not fit as a whole, it will in pieces though.
Amazing job man! Obviously for someone who isn't a mechanic the $300 becomes $800 with the work and then add $200 for a turbo and some other money for the missing pieces. Even so having a turbo for $1300 or so is super cheap and definitely sounds amazing. Neat job!
Dafuq you using blue threadlocker instead of red for? Not like you're ever gonna take those studs out.
pay others in car parts. the IRS can’t tax that.
This is basically what I did when I first turbocharged my DA9 Integra back in 2003 (when I was 20). I bought one of the very first SSAutochrome turbo manifolds with a downpipe ($250), a Dodge Daytona T3 turbo from a junkyard that had an entire school bus full of random turbos ($50), a DSM side mount intercooler ($50), a set of DSM 440cc injectors ($75), a DSM BOV ($25), and I went above and beyond for a Zdyne Gold SECU ($1500) because I didn't want to blow up my 120k mile B18A1. My buddy tuned it on his DynoJet and it made 258 whp on 12 psi and was pretty quick. I had alot of fun in that car until the YS1 cable trans shot out every gear but 5th. I drove it home almost 40 miles with it stuck in 5th. After that I parted it out and scrapped the shell. I really wish I had just kept it and replaced the trans. I still miss that car. I sold the B18A1 to a kid in North Carolina who was swapping it into his CRX.
Man reading your comment set it in stone for me that I won't sell my car if it blows one day.
That was awesome thanks for the information, I understand how a turbo works much better now. Please make sure to post the standard transmission swap, really looking forward to that!
mrmundy78 oh I will!
Anyway you could re-link similar parts list? I may go t28, but I want that piping and this link is dead 👻
I remember Turboing my D16Y8 like 12 years ago. Was the best thing I did went from a 15.5 on 50 shot of nitrous to 12 seconds flat on a T3/T4 turbo stock bottom end with AC and all the trimmings. Was the best thing I did. Now I own a B16A powered CRX and a B16B powered NA CrX both are fast or faster then with the turbo at that time.
This is the best turbo upgrade DYI I have ever seen. Slow and steady easy to understand and no TrapHop music drowning out everything. I’m going to order an Ashanti Turbo but at least I have a little more confidence than before 😅😂 #1 thanks!
Automatic???🤮
Guerilla Fish Ware he swapped it 😅
Only if the Honda was manual 💀
(It was manual swapped directly after this video)
So pretty much have friends give you a junkyard turbo kit? Gotcha 😂
This is the whole reason i got into Hondas BITD- you don't have to throw a ton of money at them to make them fun! some time, effort and patience make junk yard tuning go a long way. BTW- would the adapter set up you used for the oil feed work to feed an LS/Vtec set up as well? Thanks for the content!
flukeDC4 Yup!
flukeDC4 just got me a clean all stock original 97 civic LX with everything still working the electric locks and windows and ac
"I painted the oil pan while I was down here"
Why not just paint the oil pan while it's not under the car? 😆
Cold intake is the worst performance mod you could have done. You are sucking in hot air in to your motor therefore loosing power. If you were smart you would be a case around to to isolate the hot air from the motor.
Fr. Putting an after market air intake on a single cam d series does absolutely nothing that the stock one couldn’t do
It’s just because it sounds cool, cars can be slow but so much fun to rock with a manual and intake
Auto 🤣🤣🤣 btw gl with auto transmission it won't last
Well of course you can do it cheap if you get most of the stuff for free.. clickbait much?
True
Bro that shit auto 😭💀
If you know how to install a turbo then you probably will know how to do a manual swap
Video of you driving around was on Stock ECU??
You should paint that manifold with some high temp paint
sinformant I was thinking ceramic coating
14:42
got me good
I didn't know your Civic was automatic.
My EX is automatic and I want to keep it automatic and turbo it.
Of course with Kevlar clutch packs on the transmission.
How does that work is it an aftermarket kit?
@@sheldonlamey7010 I think Raybestos has a kit.
Your ganna want to put the oil feed from a sandwich plate off the oil filter I’ve had a line clog and destroy a turbo before from hooking the oil directly from the block
every budget honda owner has a cracked windshield😂😂 you cant beat sleeper builds
I'm turboing both my civics,a 97 coupe, and a 2000 hatch.im looking for what injectors to get that are plug and play. The dsm ones I was gonna get u have to install a resistor box and do some custom wiring. Do you know where I can get bigger injectors that I can just plug right in? And what chip do u recommend? And please give me links to the sites to get them. I'm using a walbro 255lph fuel pump for each car
Charles Naumann I am gonna be running hondata s300 hondata.com
I have precision 525cc they are plug and play. Got them from a friend who got them from eBay.
Awesome vid but the blue thread locker is doing nothing on the manifold. Your manifold temp will be well beyond the “release temp” of thread lock.
Jonny 2 Fingers it’s been holding up well either way lol
dam i wanna do this so bad
How long do you think the auto tranny will last and what psi of boost would be the limit for an auto turbo daily
Awesome bro! I don't know if you did this already, but throw up a link on your other channel to this video. You're putting out better content every time, more people should see it!
Hiram Acevedo I will for sure. I’m sure my haters will follow as well haha
Obviously do whatever you want but I wouldn’t even change the bolts through the crash bumper, looks fkn solid like that
U paid more for those bolts than the actual turbo and important stuff
Block Oil port is not 1/8 NPT by the way.. so putting 1/8 NPT in there is likely screwing up the threads/leaking or break off. Block is British Standard Pipe Thread (BSPT) not NTP.
Best way to do that is BSPT to 1/8NPT adapter, then an AN line to the Tee, not place the tee on the block.. Too much strain they will break off.
This build and your videos are incredible I've watched like 5 so far and I'm hooked.
ONLY question I can't find the answer to: Does your OBD1 pass emissions test in your state? I'm in NJ trying to do this build (with your guides ^_^), but I'm worried about the OBD1 passing.
Thanks!
Get your fuel and timing parameters set along with the correct sparkplugs for the boost and fuel mapping, put a quiet exhaust on it, and paint the intercooler black and you'll have yourself a nice sleeper. 10 to 12 pounds of boost with a good tune should put a smile on your face. FlowMaster mufflers flow very well and sound virtually stock. Also try to get your airbox setup down low to hopefully duct in some cool air from right underneath the front bumper --- preferably a duct that will give the airbox some ram air affect. Late model Corvette front brake air cooling ducts are easy to find and are perfect for your application. 👍
I have yonaka cat back exhaust it sounds perfect when connected and VERY quiet but the downpipe issue has been resolved as of tonight sorta lol It was running open downpipe in this video. As for intake air box it will be hooked up once i get a slim fan because as of right now i can't even run a air duct to it because the automatic transmission lines/rad fan are in the way of literally everything. This isn't my first time with a turbo honda/ I have turbo'd quite a few but this one is my first with a/c lol
Man my 99 Civic blew a gasket, and it had had it done just about 10k ago, I think they shaved too much off the head, but I bought it in Feb, so yeah, I'm done my work, college, internship, and almost everything is on hold. I would try to sawp a new d16 in just to get back on the road, but no garage, not even someone's yard to use, living in the city man it sucks kinda. But live the vid man giving me hopes for the future man. Distant future
Do u have to do any software tuning on it to adjust the fuel with air flow
Love the vids keep it up. Unfortunately everything is Limited on Guam lol and lots of engine parts here sell for gold. subbed, loving all your vids be safe god bless
you need the headlight bracket that goes under the head light
Thanks so much for the detailed guide, looks like something I could get done with help from some of my car buddies.
How well has this held up for you? I love the idea of building out my D17 but I also love how reliable my civic is, so I hope that doesn't become an issue with a build
Love the sound of a good spool up, the BOV sounds amazing. Great job on the tutorial, very professional walk through. T25's are great for beginners to learn on and they are great for 300hp setups on honda's. The T30 is great too after notching the block then pairing it with a Vitara internal build with a Savage camshaft and 450cc DSM Bluetop injectors = smiles for miles.
Great video. But without hookups I see this build costing about $2000
My questions are, what turbo is that from and do you know which one to buy?
And how does the downpipe adapt? What does that guys blow off valve cost normally?
Jason Valerio $30 for the blow off valve new, turbo is TD05H you can buy it on eBay it amazon, oil feel line kit is roughly $45. Downpipe is like $39 unless it comes with the turbo, intercooler kit $159 and log manifold $59 and adapter was like $30-$40
Another question is if it's safe to daily? On low boost of course but would it be safe for the engine? Because I don't have the fund to buy another car to daily and I only have money to turn the daily into a showcase and I need a little juice in the car just to keep up on the freeway 😂
Tdo5 turbo is it 16g 18g 20g??? Still learning. 😊 Also does it make difference?
Hey man can you make a video on how to detail the engine bay? Your civic's engine bay looks very cool!
PLEASE REPLY!!!! What intercooler kit is this? I’ve been looking everywhere for it searching “d16 jdm sport intercooler kit” and I can’t find the same one. Please help, thank you and I love the builds!
Its from Amazon and discontinued. Best bet is ebay. I think its about 250$
I liked this video, I also have a Honda Civic too, but not going to turbo it. ( 96 EX -AT) I just want know what kind of turbo is that 🤔 I miss it on video.
Fernando Cony TD05H eclipse 16g turbo
Did you use your stock ecu for now?
Barbas Life Yup 100% stock since its auto there isn’t anything I can do.
Don’t beat on it too much
BULLI KID I know lol it’s not my first turbo civic I have done. If it blows i will go get this z6 and forge the internals on it and throw it in. They don’t call me D-guy for no reason 😁
If you were not tight on money would you use external wastegate set up?
BULLI KID Even if I was well off on money i prefer the internally gated because the stock gate hits 12psi and can handle up to 20psi but if I were wanting to go higher I would go externally gated.
So you were able to keep the a/c?
Nice vid, good info bro, have a 92 si hatch with a jdm b16 on it, want to turbo it and keep the ac. 💯👍👍👍
Jose Rotary I need to do another detailed update soon going over the exact ins and outs. I think this was detailed but I didn’t mention a few things. I will do a update soon
Its an automatic!? And does it have stock internals?
A question about that FMIC kit; is the bov flange a greddy 2 bolt style? Did the pipings fit good and did you need to modify the piping's at all?
The intercooler kit was direct bolt on didn't require anything special and the blow off valve is a RS Greddy knock off but works pretty good
Thanks for the video man, but how long did you run the turbo on the automatic trans and was it a difficult or expensive swap?
Automatic trany turbo. Never saw one tuned cuz only obd1 ecu works but dosent control automatic trany ?
Beautifully done my friend i have the same car
Can you say the exact same parts, looking to turbo my manual civic but need ac for the winter
Don’t do it, costs a fuck ton of money
So I'm really new to turbocharging things... I prefer a manual transmission my question is do I have to swap the transmission or can I leave it auto
Ginga Ninja I prefer manual and this one is auto still. Ima manual swapping in the next few days hopefully. The automatic will work but it will blow up easier due to not being tuned.
@@TexasHondaChannel so if I turbo a k series motor (k24a2) with the auto trans it is set with I should be ok if I tune it?
Also I'm not talking like I want to track the car just want to have a boosted car that is fun to drive
I like Honda Accords... I bought one for my daughter and she got tboned and totaled car but walked away...if you bought everything, what would it have cost?
If its a newer honda accord . like 03 and up i would just swap the motor into a civic .
@@thehondalife2812 it was a 96... But we had to let tow company keep it... $500 plus tow home and fix car or 300 and thwy kept it.
If i had bought everything no help from awesome subscribers it would have been close to $500
very good video! but the question i have is: u didnt't mess with compression at all?
high km engines ussualy have a lower compression and like the boost
How he gonna waste that on an automatic
He ends up Auto to manual swapping it in a later video
Idk if it’s just me but I think you forgot to put a exhaust manifold gasket. Good video. Great clear explanations good camera quality 👌
Ray Rivera Thanks I didn’t forget I just didn’t mention it lol. I got overwhelmed with all the stuff I was suppose to show I forgot steps. I tried my hardest to make it clear. There was a metal thing gasket on the manifold to adapter and adapter to turbo. 2 metal gaskets 1 metal gasket from head to manifold.
Texas Honda Channel I hear ya man life gets hectic haha. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Keep up the great work. 💪
I want a civic as a first car since they are easy to work on and i want to turbo it eventually and this vid is great because it show's that you can keep A/C
Lmao if it blows up guys your have more content guys you joker made my day bro
low boost doesn't hurt
Bro u dont have even age to drive lmao
Just subscribed to you bro! I love civics I have a 97 sedan dx auto I want to turbo as well and manual swap preferred.
I will be doing a manual swap how to soon! Also welcome to the channel!
14:41 deez....
If you can get to me asap that be awesome 👌 😎 👏 ✨ 😉 🙌 👌 😎 👏 ✨ 😉 🙌 👌 😎 I'm currently in idaho and honda parts are hard to come by... but im a first time builder and want to learn how to turbo and build and swap my motors since I want to plan on taking her out and ripping on some subbys and big blocks since that's all that's out here
What year is that civic? I have a 98 4dr but they say the 2000 civic front bumper will not fit on a 98. Is that true?
Edmund Kare I have a 1999 you can use the 1999-2000 bumper if you use the headlights/hood/fenders and bumper
@@TexasHondaChannel ok kool thnx
What turbo are you using?
Mentioned in the video lol
TDO5H
Texas Honda Channel yeah i saw it again i must have missed it lol thanks did you kept the ac
The turbo sits so low with that adapter but i love it
Maaaaan...you make this look so easy...gonna have to get this done at some point in the next 12 months on my civic project goku.
MrMoz0887 Heck ya if you need pointers let me know
@@TexasHondaChannel thanks buddy. Need to engine swap first or might even just work with the 1.4 90 bhp d14 I have just to be different. Seen a couple of threads online about a boosted 1.4 with decent results. Keep up the good work man!
MrMoz0887 Yea keep the D14 they aren’t really heard of and good engine!
D14z2 in the UK seemed quite easy to get hold of...although it took me a while to find one near me in good condition. But it's a revvy little number...lacking top end...but that's where the turbo should help. Good video man and looking forward to whatever you have next.
Sure,,YOU turbo'd YOUR CIVIC FOR 300$ ,,BUT for anyone else it's impossible,, misleading title, but cool info..
How's it misleading, he said did it for $300 and that's what he spent

Awesome. How to build a REAL budget sleeper. I want to build a totally stock civic and boost it, hub caps and all.
Desmond Marshall haha heck yea. I ended up manual swapping this and upgrading to a GT30 Twin scroll turbo and now tuning it on Hondata s300 but still looks sleeper for now haha 😆 check out the newer videos
@@TexasHondaChannel as with any Honda, it never stays COMPLETELY stock for long ha ha. I subscribed and 🔔, I am definitely going to watch your latest video, you videos are my guides and tutorials!! Thank you for sharing your build, most people do not share this type of information especially in detail.
okay what abt the tune?
low boost you can kinda get away without a tune just use a low psi wastegate like 5 psi and it will be alright
get a haltch 750 or something, that way you aren't stuck somewhere random for a few hours needing a tow and having to replace engines all of the time
good stuff. i wish there were vids like this on the web when i had my teggy. i wouldnt have gotten robbed by the shops so easy
Hey im in desperate help!! I love ur set up and i really want to go the same route
Couldnt find a better explanation of how to turbo a civic, I had an idea but now tht i seen how u did it. Is not hard imma boost my civic here soon
Jr Sanchez Glad to help! It’s nice having cold a/c with a turbo.
@@TexasHondaChannel have another question... the small pipe tht comes out the wastegate n goes down(open) now.. can u route tht small pipe towards the back of the car or atttach it to the muffler piping ? Reason i ask is because it gets loud at the engine cuz of tht pipe and sounds like u have a leak or like open headers.
Bosssssss🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌊🌊🌊👽👽
YESHUAGANG BEATS 😁
Is it possible to install a turbo on a 99 civic ex that automatic?
This car in this state is automatic
If you can put gas in it you can turbo it.....
They make a jumper harness so u can run a p28 with the auto transmission but don't expect it to hold up for long..... The safc would work to tune bigger injectors too
How much is the turbo worth on ebay? I know for sure im not getting a free turbo lol, would like to see the actual total cost.
SweetLowFat Jesus The actual total cost for me was $270 but the turbo cost about $200 on amazon TD05H is the one I got it was used with 40k miles on it. I prefer to piece together my kits myself it’s cheaper and better quality than when you just buy 1 already thrown together kit. I have turbo’d quiet a few Honda’s and piecing them together is the best option.
Are you sure it's a tdo5h turbocharger??
Lmk
More information on that turbocharger Moore 👌
Sick keeping ac awesome
How much for the S300? Just wanna know the price hehe. I also have a sohc turbo 😁
Young Master The s300 I bought was $450 used. Didn’t have it in this video though ^
Wow! Thank you for response!

So I want to turbo my d16y8 and I bought a YONAKA cat back exhaust I can’t use it if I turbo the car can I? Need help plz
