Nothing that a lift can't handle. Here is a sneak peek at our setup:

 

I can relate, i had a k20 06 civic and turboed it, install was a living hell, much easier on the VIII, dunno about the X but every time i look at the engine bay i feel lazy

 

yeah too bad , we cant install the turbo from the front anymore.. I was planning to do it every week as i used to because it was sooo easy, but since i got a X...
I probably have to do it once awhile from now on...

Well look the bright side , we dont need to have another 5 feet of exhaust to exhale the used gases..
Or the engine is sits lower , and the turbo doesn't boil the cooling fluids anymore.
Now we don't have to wrap all kind of pipes hoses to prevent heat.
Etc.

Oh i forgot , the X is heavier too

great post.

 

yeah i got miss leaded too... i got so exited . I thought the AMS is out

 

Where is it still cold enough to wear a damn jacket??

 

OP = February in Minnesota!

 

Hahah! I can't believe this thread is still going!!! I thought for sure it'd die but somehow it keeps getting bumped up to the top now and again!

Check the OPDate, I did this like 6 months ago! I live in MN but damn it's plenty hot here today! The ice is off of the lakes for almost a few weeks, should be back before much longer.

 

I'm not replacing the stock turbo.

 

there you go Eric, change the title or the content

 

 

 

Yikes! , that must be a joy to work on

 

Actually , its cake !!!! I like working on the X more than the 8 and 9's , I'm loving this car .

 

Is it cranking out power already with that kit or you guys still working on it.

 

This is actually for one of our customers ..
