Honda Civic Hydroholics.net install

Edited: 1/5/2010 7:26:25 PM by tre5


Another install, this time a 98 body style 2 door civic. This car is getting a 1 pump, 5 dump, 4 accumulator and 2 Kinetik setup from http://www.hydroholics.net/.
 
Here is what is done so far...
            The trunk has recieved the Herculiner treatment and the battery rack (with solenoid mount) is mounted in the car.
The setup, plumbed together and awaiting hardline.The waterjetted upper doughnuts made to bolt into these cars are installed.The front cylinder assembly

you guys have finished like 5 cars since I started my install... I can't wait to see this one finished, I love the hydroholics builds

i look forward to the pictures of this one, might convince my wife to let me build her acura el.

Looking forward to this one!  I have a few Civic's one of which is bagged. I have followed your builds every since you did the Mazda. The more I see, the more interested I am.   Keep up the good work!!

I dont mean to hi-jack but which thread is it that you have some youtube videos posted? BTW I a, staying tuned to your builds I really dig your work. I am confident that this will be great too!

I have mine setup almost identical to this except I plumbed the accumulators on the bottom side of the manifold so they only sit a little bit off of the floor of the trunk. I din't use a support and I drive my car daily and have never had a problem with it spinning loose or leaking any at all.

And you guys are knocking some installs out lately. Glad to see so many people giving hydraulics a chance. Lookin good!

Not to mention there will be hardlines connecting the pump/manifold and going into the floor that will assist in any support.  Also I typically put the accumulators underneath the manifold (like this), but I think Jeremy wanted to change it up a little and nothing wrong with that!

You guys do some awesome work. I wish more people around these parts would let me work with hydraulics.
