Here is my mb6 vti, owned it for just over a year now, mods at the moment are... - Toyosports decat and catback system - EG coilovers - Dc2 Alloys Been dyno'd at 163bhp, i have bought a turbo kit for it which shall be getting bolted on when i get the time.

Lol ok mate .. Basically a twin scroll charger, used in both the evo and scoob, which are the TD variants (I think some VAG's also use a TD something something) has a slightly different design to a normal turbo .. The turbine wheel is a very slightly different design to allow it to be spun at different velocities .. The manifold is then equally split so that cylinder 1&3 and 2&4 (this is dependent firing order of the engine, we're obviously 1,3,4,2 but I cant remember exactly which we should use on the twin scroll) are equal lengths and they in turn spin a different (front & back) part of the turbine wheel .. Better explained in here - Or through this link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocharger#Twin-scroll Basically it aids in response and is supposed to be better performance high up the rev range .. BUT can still be used with a normal mani .. Just wont get the best from the turbo ..

The rover rear calipers look the same as my MB6 ones but ended up going to Dingbro as didn't want hassle matching stuff up! There's a helpful list somewhere here listing compatible parts. I'm using my mobile to type this otherwise I would post a link to the said list

bit of a ckeeky picture the other day after i washed her

Fitted fog lights not wired up yet but much better fit then the last ones Also added new fan warning sticker no photo needed Had to post a photo with my mates freshly painted Euro R in background

@Dave took a picture of my mod this evening for you mate!! will post it up shortly!!

love it as always matt

I doubt you'd be able to fit DC5/EP3 hubs, especially at the rear as they are totally different setup - hence why you can't find anything. You can fit EK9/DC2 hubs all around which does convert you to 5x114.3 PCD and the larger wheel bearings at the front as I've done it to my MC2. I also switched drive shafts, but I believe you can just switch the outer ends and keep your original shaft. Rear fitting on mine

Epic photos She's looking very clean too!

nice one on cotm! just love the all the colour coding and obviously the new wheels

Looking good... And nice car plan product placement

Hi Tom, sidelights are in the original position just with brighter led bulbs hidden away. Thanks for all the comments chaps. Much appreciated

Here I go again. Time for installing the unit. After soldering the potentiometer and three other connections I went looking for the confirmation of what Haynes says. All the connections were as I expected. First thing I clonnected the earth from my kit to the nearest available bolt; see pic After I realized I have to cut off existing control unit in order for those two not to work simultaneously I stole power from that connection (yel/blu) and chose low motor output (blue) to be used while working intermittently. You can always use the high speed one (blu/yel). Important! I did not cut the motor wire (blue). As you can see in the above pic there are two yellow/blue wires. Confusing isnt it. Counting from the right (the bigger wiper plug) there is blue - low speed, blu/yel - high speed and yel/blu - 12v from the switch. Those 3 are the only wires you are interested in. Almost done, all connected Only the potentiomenter left to be fitted. The position is really all about personal preferences as well as the look. I just picked what I had. And the job done. Two comments I need to make. Only 2 pins on the potentiometer need to be cnnected; the middle and any of the other ones. Whichever side you pick will make the wipers go more or less often depending which direction you turn the knob. Still, a matter of ones prefernces. Secondly, the low end is pretty useless because the magic happens every 1 or 2 sec. Thats it I guess. I hope somebody will make use of this idea. If not at least I contributed a bit. Wish I could do more.

Awesome shoot mate, great photos!! Looks like a pro's shooting for you

Wow enough said

Random pic from yesterday Always like the look of her parked there

See update at bottom of post December 2020 Credit to member Hickster for the list. HONDA CIVIC 'M' SERIES COMPATIBILITY DATABASE Civic5 accepts no responsibility for any inaccuracies or omissions from this database and all that STEERING AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS *Wheel and tyre info....Stock ET is 45 for all M's (widest recommended rim with this et is 6.5" at r15? ). DC2 alloys need spacers to fit over 282 calipers *Springs and shock absorbers....Same as dc2/eg/ek/ej/400/45/zs. DC2 coilovers will need the Integra LCA. Matched springs and shocks are specific to the weight of the model so Aerodeck are different as are other civics or Integras. *Front upper wishbone....Same as dc2/eg/400/45/zs. EK is different the bushes are pressed into the arm. *Front lower wishbone....Same as dc2/eg/ek/ej/400/45/zs *Front hub carrier and balljoints....Same as dc2/eg/ek/ej/400/45/zs *Hubs....All M's use 4 x100 pcd hubs from contemporary civics except the MB6 which uses 4 x 114.3 (4.5") pcd hubs from the Integra and Prelude. *Front ARB....Same as dc2/eg/ek/ej/400/45/zs. To upgrade arb size you will need to change the body mounting bushes *Rear ARB....Same as dc2/eg/ek/ej/400/45/zs. To upgrade arb size you will need to change the body mounting bushes. *Front suspension bushings....Same as dc2/eg/ek/ej/400/45/zs *Track rod ends....Same as 45/400/zs *Steering rack...Same as 45/400 *PAS pump...Non Honda engined Rovers use flexible hosing (mounted on right of engine) *Rear trailing arm....Same as dc2/eg/ek/ej/400/45/zs. Drum versions can not be converted to disc. *Rear upper control arm....Same as dc2/eg/ek/ej/400/45/zs *Rear lower control arm....Same as dc2/eg/ej/400/45/zs. Some LCA's do not have a mounting for an ARB. *Rear toe adjuster....Same as dc2/eg/ek/ej/400/45/zs *Trailing arm (compliance) bush....Same as dc2/eg/ek/ej/400/45/zs *Rear suspension bushes....Same as dc2/eg/ek/ej/400/45/zs BODY PANELS AND LIGHTS *Front bumper....All different, to change MA to MB you also need to change bonnet (and front crossmember?)
