I've been wanting to do a FI setup for my ek hatch for a long while, and due to the inconvenience and working full-time/school I thought that I wouldn't have much time to work on it since it was my DD, so I contacted Ricky from SpeedFactory here in Washington and he has provided me with a good deal. Not only that the price exceeded my expectations but the kit I was going to purchase prior to SpeedFactory's would've made me go over my budget. I also trust his welding techniques and how he builds it due to the fact that I'm a welder myself and this is what I do for a living. Enough talk, I will go into the details of the kit and how much I'm spending.

aiming for 300whp:

garrett t3/to4e .57 trim, .63 AR stage 3 wheel
shorty manifold made of 304SS schedule 10 weldels with bmc race flanges
(flanges has a smooth transition into the exhaust ports, another plus)
3" downpipe
dump tube
2.5" charge/intercooler piping
3x8x24 PWR intercooler
precision 680cc injectors
walbro 255lph fuel pump
oil feed/return lines
turboxs rfl bov
tial 38mm wastegate
arp head studs/gasket kit
exedy stage 1 clutch and pp
autometer boost gauge
street tune

that's all the hardware and I also wanted to fix some things
solder all connections, since I ghetto rigged it
replace outer tranny case w/ new one I have
installation of the gsr cams I'm providing + valve adjustment
fix oil leak issues
fix CEL codes.

all of this for 3900

Ricky's a great guy to deal w/ and he's great w/ his customers always keeps me updated. Tell me what you guys think of the power potential I would make and how great of a deal this is

 

well how much boost are you planning?

 

11-12psi should hit your goals...nice results for the price. My first setup cost me even less than that with tuning

 

I was planning about 10psi of boost, yea I messed up on the first time I bought a turbo kit, I ended up spending 1500 on it, had new tial wastegate, fuel pump, etc.. but decided to sell it all to my close friend for half the price. The turbo had too much shaft play and the injectors weren't the ones he said they were and yea, I got jipped. Oh well, lesson learned.
