My 89 Carb'd - Turbo Golf Cabrio

[Rez_hoj]

Old waste gate actuator vs the new turbosmart one. Super stoked on fitting that. Starting out with the 14psi spring and going from there.



The mbc. I like that this little guy clicks as you adjust it. No more over boost due to sketchy controller.



I gave in and ordered the innovate boost gauge to complete the set.



Also had to buy a new gauge holder. The gauges didn't sit that well as they were held in on an angle, the bezel is just a bit bigger on the innovate, compared to the vdo ones.

Got an adaptor for my temp gauge, I'll probably attached it to the inlet, close to the head. Run the sensor wire through the fire wall, with one of the braided hoses. Hopefully that hides it.



Ordered a turbosmart bov. My current bov is kinda crappy and the sound was pretty ricey. The quality of their product looks really good sounds a lot better to.

Bought a bunch of l.e.d lights to replace the old bulbs in the lower vdo gauges and bought some for the dash lights to!

I love the carbs. I always thought of turbocharging my carbed civic when I had it. But I shall live vicariously through you. Since it is carbed, if you were to remove the turbo would it just automatically readjust for the lack of air pressure.

Pretty much with the way I have it. Yeah!!

How tough was the carb conversion? I want to get rid of my CIS system in my 16v. Any specific wiring i got to do? Sorry, i'm pretty lazy lol. Cabrio looks freaking awesome dude! Not many boosted-carb 8v rolling around.

Thanks man!!!

You don't need any wiring for carbs. Super simple.

But if you're lazy lol carbs arnt for you. They are super high maintenance!!
