ummm will this bolt on the same way for a MIVEC engine?

by kermut
it will bolt on both engines but whether it plays up on a mivec i dont know,full boost kicks in at 4000 revs and mivec kicks in at 5500 i think dont see that as an issue but u never know.but i dont see any problems with it

the turbo is at the front of the engine which might be an issue

Im not sure, but as far as plumbing that would be easier... the crap my mechanic had to do to get the down/up pipe up near the firewall with my ABS in the was was monterous... However the heat from the turbo may not help your radiator.
What Turbo is it? How about some pics of the underneath? Is clearance an issue under the car? What size injectors? No computer?whats the size of the piping?looks like 2 diff sizes used (2inch for IC 2.5/3 for intake) Does it come with all silicon joiners? Include heat wrap?
Things potential buys should keep in mind (speaking from experience):
- Computer
- Braided Fuel Lines (mayb)
- Fuel pump (maybe)
- Clutch (least $800 worth. Prob custom)
- Tips need to be strengthened
- Boost Guage / oil pressure
- Tuning
- Labour of install
- New exhaust (3 inch prefered)
- Modifing front bar to house intercooler (mayb)
- Getting rid of engine bay heat (usually u can just remove the rubber strip at back of bonnet)
- Custom mounts for intercooler
- Crank Breather Filter (not much $$)
- Heat Shielding (prob wont need as much as i did with this setup)
- getting Sump modified for oil return line
- Looks like radiator has been moved completely to accomodate for turbo.
-Custom mounts for radiator
- Hoses for radiator
As far as labour, I got reasonably cheap rates
Mechanic to fit kit - $2650
Tuner to install computer and tune $2500
But it all depends on the setup. Might be more due to radiator etc, may be less due to not having to worry about space at firewall.
Keep in mind. If you plan on turbo'ing your car, be prepared for $8,000. I budgeted $6,500. ooops.
However, by turboing your fto, u get to see the look of peoples faces when they come up beside you for a run... then they hear that turbo spool... then they back off pretty quickly (unless they have a quick car)...
But it makes the car very individual. And im still undecided as to wether i'd do it again knowing how much it actually cost me (around $9,000 or so including 2nd hand kit for $2000)
Good luck with the sale... Whoever buys it will be a very lucky person....
I've seen a few pics of this car around too... Looks awesome mate... Love the black piping too.. much less attractive to cops... which is what we all want.
