Dan, I have a thread all about my setup.

Photobucket resized the engine bay pics in that thread but here are links to some more recent ones from before I took the head off.

Btw Dan, if Frankie set you up with an Xspower turbo like what auxiliary is showing, you'll want to do something about that. It won't last. He tried giving me one but I insited on a Garrett and he got me one.

I have a steel braided line spliced in behind my oil pressure sending unit for the oil supply, and for the return I have a 90 degree elbow piece coming off of the bearings with a piece of rubber hose on the bottom end that connects it to a fitting in my oil pan that I drilled/tapped and screwed in place. I got the elbow piece, steel braided line, and the oil pan fitting from Frankie.

yea im thinking about getting most of the work done on the turbo that way i wont need frankies help for anything but tuning it. i am a little confused about how to set up the oil supply line, i know what to do for the return line, as long as i dont have any trouble getting at a good angle for the drill and tap.

also do you have a rising rate fuel pressure regulator and do you think its a needed item for my swap? and sorry about all the questions but what kind of clutch are you running.

thanks for all your help man

Frankie will tell you that you don't need the FMU to add fuel since you have the 28lb injectors, but I run one to be safe.

 

As far as drilling and tapping the pan goes, I'd recommend removing it rather than trying to do it from under the car. Aside from the tight space you'd be working with, you'll inevitably get metal shavings in the pan that have to come out.

 

For the supply line, Frankie included a 3-way NPT fitting to screw into the block, sending unit, and supply line. The other end of the line screwed into a flange that mated up to the bearing inlet surface. Frankie made that flange himself but it's nothing fancy. If you can drill and tap, you can make your own easily.

 

At the moment I'm running a stock replacement clutch. It slips sometimes under boost and I plan on installing a stiffer pressure plate the next time I have the tranny off.

This is mainly a Datsun/Nissan oriented board so not many of us have experience with Honda/Acuras. Also, punctuation would go a long way in making your point easier to read. Anyway, I'd skip the ebay turbo kits for the most part, it's kind of a you get what you pay for. Why not buy a kit from Greddy, Apex'i, Edlebrock, Turbonetics or DRAG? They all make B-series turbo kits which are reputable.
