Install of Greddy Turbo Kit - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

vmc0526 · 05-15-2006, 03:35 PM

Hey guys...i need some help again... I am installing a greddy turbo kit (td04-19T) for my 98 civic (d16Y8), but i cant find any install info anywhere. I know its pretty straight forward, but it would be nice to have something to follow to make sure i am doing it 100% right. My main concern is where to get the oil feed line for the turbo. thanks in advance for the help

Sorry, i dont know all of the proper procedures but for the oil feed for the turbo you'll want to tap the oil pan.

greddy's site prolly has directions?

thanks for the tip about the tapping into the oil pan, thats what i was thinking too.
The first thing i did was checked Greddy's website, but i wasn't able to find it for the kit that i bought. I printed off the directions for the other civic kit to try to go off of those, but i would like the actual ones for my kit. Thanks for the suggestion

ll that for the return line. It doesnt matter which kit you have only difference is turbo size of mani stile but virtualy identical. You have to find somewhere where oil is actualu unter PRESSURE to feed it into the turbo

'tis for a B series but its all the same no need to get that specific.

the greddy kit i bought came with full instructions, didn't yours ?

the oil supply for the turbo comes from "T"ing in to the oil pressure sensor at the back of the block, there should be a fitting included in the kit to enable you to do this
as for the oil return you will have to remove the sump and drill 3 holes (2 for the bolts and 1 for the oil to flow through) to attach the return fitting, once its connected its just a matter of joining to turbo oil outlet to the new sump inlet with a rubber hose

also i would recommend using thread locker or non-slip washers whereever you can.

my greddy turbo kit has been on for 4 years now am i have never had a single problem from it

you dont even need to t it just an elbo will work, T it if you are hooking up an oil presure guage as well as a feed line.

If you dont want a CEL leave the oil pressure sencor unhooked.

tap the oil pan for the feed????? i think you should seek professional help on your install

sorry i need to know where the best place to tap the oil feed line, not the oil return line, i already did the return line. (on a d16y8) I have the kit just about completely installed, but im just waiting on where to tap the feed line and my fuel pressure regulator. So does anyone know where to do this? please provide pics if possible.
thanks for the help
