Well I've gotten a lot of PM's about how I liked my new setup versus my old drag kit and if it was worth the pain and suffering...etc.


Well some of you are gonna bitch about going this fast on an open road, so save your time and dont say anything....but....

w/ my old setup (drag 3 kit - t04b w/ hondata and rc 500's. ) well as many of you know i made 270 whp @ about 10.5 psi. my traps at the track were also good for 107 mph

well back in the day, i topped my old setup at about 144 mph.

now w/ my new setup, ive had some trouble keeping the charge pipes on, heh, even though im running 7.5~8 psi w/ this new setup, it has so much more top end....

when i finally fixed my charge pipe dilemma, i took it to the highway for a little boosting.....upon the on ramp, some fart canned prelude cuts me off or whatever, and took off.....well i was like what the hell, let him get aways (probably a 5 second head start) and then dropped it.....well i passed him at about 130 mph like he was standing still. i took her to about 151 and let off. and i know there is plenty of room too. but i didnt wanna push it.

heres the best part....im running rich, about 11.9:1 afr and extremely retarded timing.....plenty of room to make some more power

so to answer everyones questions, yes it was worth all the trouble getting that damn thing to fit on the block....i cant wait to get to the dyno


P.S. Here is a pic of my solution to my charge pipes blowing off, see w/ my compressor sitting a little further to the tranny side of the block, the drag 3 pipes are a little short....so i couldnt mate the pipes as close together hence all the blow offs w/ charge pipes....so i did this:

 

I thought there was gunna be pics of your engine bay or something but all I see is someone holding a sewer plumbing coupler in front of what appears to be a framed picture of a motorcycle, where most people would normally hang a family portrait or something of that sort.

 

hehehe, i can provide more pics of whats on my walls.......but i decided to be nice and go snap some pics of my engine bay just for you

im glad to hear that everything worked out for you.
we are in the process of either creating an adapter, that will align the 4bolt to the same position as the 5bolt, or offering the 5bolt housings as well as the 4bolt...
keep us updated and send us some pics and a small writeup on your setup for the customers section.
ken

 

not tryin to be a hater.. but what kind of car are you in that would do 151mph??

Honda gearing wont take a car that high.. will it???

 

integra, b18b.....

 

um yes it will I topped my speedo of 130 out like othing at about 4k or so and kept pulling to about 6k when I let off, so they do go that fast. at least LS gearing does.

 

Hey..dont wanna thread jack..but where did you get that 90 degree for your wastegate??

P.S. Old setup was cool....New setup Rockin...

 

Is your motor stock?

 

ttt

 

Nice. Ive got big plans for my cars future, but like u its gonna take alot of sacrifice and im gonna have to go without boost for a few months to make it happen. I hope im doin the right thing.

btw set up looks great. bling bling

 

The elbow is just a 90 degree SS bend and two flanges welded to it. a little costly cuz its SS though hehe


yes my motor is stock.

 

you can get the same one from drag i think its like 85 bucks revhard has them too for 75 i think..


But anyways nice work !!!! still clean like i remember driving in it..

 

i thought revhard and drag's were just mild steel? anyways i decided to weld my own cuz i didnt know where i wanted the dump to go....

anyway you were here Viren, my car was dirty as ****, it was just night time so it looked clean, hahahaha

 

i was riding with this man tuning it when the charge pipe popped off...hehe sounded like a supercharger when it was off cause of the loud whistle noise it kept making.

but seriously, i rode in his before and with his new setup and the top end pull is really sick. makes my sohc turbo feel like junk, hehe jk.

 

DAMN! That engine bay is Bling yO! Is it JDM?

Might want to give a short recap of your mods for those of us who don't know...

 

Yea the revhard and drags are mild steel if you wnat stainless you make your own but thats for the bling bling guys

 

lol dennis, i shouldnt have a problem w/ charge pipes blowing.....hopefully, lol. It was fun freaking people w/ that loud supercharge sound, it sounded fast but it crawled, haha.


anyways, my setup for the person who asked:

Garrett 4 bolt t3/t04e (Compressor: 57 trim, .60 a/r ; Turbine Housing: .63a/r w/ a stage 3 whel)
Inline Pro Manifold (got a killer deal from Arturbo)
Tial wastegate
Half revhard, half custom downpipe (2.5 inch)
Carsound 2.5 cat.
Tiny Greddy sp exhaust (like 2.25 inch )
Drag 3 piping
big *** HKS IC
AEM EMS

Is that flex tubing? What diameter, and where'd you get it?

i dont remember the diameter, but i got it at pep boys $5.99 heh

 

You can pretty much get that flex tubing at Napa in all sizes and lengths.

 

Whew, that's more like it

Stan has some catching up to do

I just met him yesterday...didn't know his *** was using a damn FMU! Or maybe his thief buddy installed that too...

 

hehe the only thing he has up on me, is his built motor

 

wanna bet?? itr gearing goes around 157mph+ i believe then hiting rev limiter

ls's are longer also

 

very nice indeed!
but im jealous.. no way im fitting my turbo on my car with the 4 bolt.. damn clutch master cylinder f*cked that all up
videos? hehehehe
