Hey all, I bought a Greddy TT kit and I am just wondering about the install.

I had an 11sec civic that I pretty much built myself so I know what to do and whatnot. But I have been hearing mixed things such as to pull the motor out to install the manifold, turbo and wastegate. I was just wondering on peoples opinions on the install? Is it possible to install uynderneath the car? Able to get at all the bolts?

Any pointers would be great.

Thanks

 

Yes it is possible as i did my own install.It is a real pain in the *** to do it though as it took me about 4 days working on and off thru out my work day(i am a service mgr in the auto service area)i also cut up,bent twisted a lot of cheap wrenches to install the kit.The worst part is that the greddy instructions are lame to say the least.
The biggest pain in the butt for me was oil feed lines on cause greddy says put them on after the turbos.Put them on first and it would be a lot easier and the other was figureing out the piping.Also heat wrap everything.
Good luck.

 

+1 - Yes, you can do it, but it is really tight. It is a tough call whether it is faster to lift the engine or take all the extra time trying to get your hands in there. It would definitely be less stressful to pull the engine.

 

Drop your motor!!!
