  1. Good choice on the motor and the idea of turbocharging it...

    Check out pure-pf.com for parts, I'm getting the bulk of my bits from there for my 2.8 litre m50 turbo conversion (unless someone knows anywhere else cheaper locally)

    Limmet.se is good also.. even the zatzy.com forums - translate with bablefish.

    In terms of room the only thing which really gets in the way is the steering linkage, but that can be worked around, if the turbo is top mounted towards the front of the engine you will be fine - you could run a charge pipe out the hole where the a/c condenser used to sit.

    Hybrid, there's a turbocharged Mcoupe 20metres from where I work... I'll endeavour to get some pics of it.


  2. If you are looking at a pressure release valve, try a shop that specialises in compressed air equipment. They will have something suitable to your needs. Tap into manifold.. and you're away.

    With a supercharger, Would an option be - to obtain low boost to keep the valve (as per above) set at 4-6psi, and continually vent? Thus elliminating the need to have it controlled (on/off) like you are saying?


  3. That spray can matt black paint job is hot on that first Civic - as is that spray can matt black on the wheels, When does the good taste end? These American Honda boys could teach the NZ car scene a thing or two.........

    I might go to the Warehouse and do the e36 in that striking colour...
