This entire setup is DIY











And my pride and joy, 3" downpipe (garrett 5 bolt) and 3" thermal

 

WOW that downpipe is great
hows it run?

 

Very nice job on the intercooler piping.

 

nice work is that a full race manifold?

 

The car isn't running well yet, I am going to send the manifold to the machine shop and get the head flange milled flat. (leaking) And I still need to get my turbo water pump plumbed in, vacum lines redone and a bunch of other stuff.

The manifold is a similar style (full-race) that I made for myself.

 

Nice install, very clean. I like the idea for the ramps.

RAMPS are those just 2x6's?

 

heh the ramps are nice to have, I'm going to put an extra level on them since its still a bit too low if your on a creeper. I had to put it car up on jackstands after I discovered that in order to put the dp on I need to drop the exhaust. pain in the ***

 

hahaha, for some reason, someone always says they like those ramps!! haha,

 

just want to give an update on legendboy's car. We finished the install on thursday, dynotuned it on friday at about 8-9 at night and then went to the track right after at about 10. He made about 235whp and about 215ft/lbs and ran a best of 13.4 at 3800 ft elevation! I'm really impressed with his setup and again, this is all diy!! There are some graphs but I'll let him post it up. Oh yah, he also ran so fast the bumper flew off on the track!!! hahahahah

 

wouldnt it help if he pulled air into his turbo away from his exhaust? Just wondering because I plan to change my setup.

Nice! Where are the fans going to go? are u going to run the push fan?

 

Nice IC piping

 

My setup is almost identical to yours!! Do you have any problems with having the dp too close to the radiator? Would you be interested in making me a dp? Thanks

 

nice ****!!! just watch out for that POS deltagate. mine 7psi one was spiking to 15psi!!! so be careful. IT could also be the reason for my BLOWN Ring gear
im replacing with tial now.
Good luck. and did i say awsome ride, install, and numbers

 

setup looks awesome. i have to agree the only thing i would change would be the POS deltagate. We had alot of problems with them. other than that it looks good.

 

NIce set, can't wait to see the numbers.

 

this is my second year with my detagate with no problems. I'm not sure why so many people have problems with them. I admit that it sounds like *** but that can be fixed with dumptube design. I'm going to go back to the dyno next week with 94 and my 3 bar and tune to about 14psi, hopefully about 280 whp.

My downpipe has about 2" of clearance between the rad. I did buy some heat wrap but i haven't put it on yet, but it should be ok. I would make you a dp but i don't see how i could get it exact without your turbo and manifold!

 

What are using for tuning? What type of motor work have you done?

 

Looks good. Post up a picture later with your front bumper on. I want to see what the IC looks like.

 

yo this was a very good post hopefully someday to be higher than you to get everything done for the turbo I want 320whp at the least 350whp at the most

 

That so sick, now paint that intercooler black, and go sleaper style on the ricers

 

haha yea, the car is a total sleeper except for the ic. I'm running hondata which i hate but it seems to serve its purpose well. I'll try to get off my lazy *** and post some dyno sheets and a time slip

 

WOW, someone hates hondata on here , <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by legendboy &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">haha yea, the car is a total sleeper except for the ic.

Looks good, post some dyno numbers when you can
