if you can remember a few years back i had a turbo d14,
i had it turbod for about 3 years and then i sold my turbo kit so gather funds for my new setup ( i sold my diy kit for 2K ) .
i drove the d14 NA'd for about a year+ and then swaped it out for the d16.
setup i'm runing for 4 months now is:
75.50 vitaras
eagle rods
milled block (cant remember how much i did)
aem cam gear
59300 cam
slightly ported and polished head, (had to replace it about two months after installed the engine due to fu*ed up plug thread)
venom i'm
arp's and cometic gasket
vented valve cover
action 2ms
my turbo parts are:
57 trim .63ex
miniram manifold
tial 38mm
tial bov

Re: Racepaks 400hp project.
I was cool until I saw the fart can, and then an aluminum pulley right after. That's 2 failures in a row, you only get 1 more before a permabadn. Other than that, it looks like you're making a pretty clean setup.
You are still in Israel, right?

Re: Racepaks 400hp project.
Your spending a lot of money on good/decent parts. My only question is why wouldn't you get a good set of pistons? CP, Arias, Wiseco's? Vitara's are ok but they certainly aren't the best. Most people use them for a budget build and it doesn't seem like your on to much of a budget. Thats gonna be your weakest link I don't know why you went with those but to each his own.

Re: Racepaks 400hp project.
thanks for the replys everyone,
yeah i live in a apartment building and i dont have a storage room or anything near my car,
thats the alt pulley, it was sold
i just used the ps pulley
the fart can is the only option i had , thats the only muffler with 3" inlet i found on rbay lol
and yeah i'm still in israel...
you are totaly right,
when i started collecting my parts i got the vitaras for like $70 so i couldnt resist the offer,
ill get better pistons next time
thanks, i'm pretty sure they will
car will be tuned with ectune on a dynojet

Re: Racepaks 400hp project.
I would have thought the Vibrant mufflers would be on ebay (someone sells most of their other parts), and sometimes Summit Racing puts parts like that on ebay. They sell Magnaflow, which offers a 3" in/out, and people here love them. The fart can shouldn't sound that bad, since the turbo helps reduce the raspiness of a 4-cyl motor. If I didn't run a stock muff + e-cutout, I'd go with a Magnaflow resonator and a 4x9 Magnaflow muffler.

i'm gonna weld a 45 deg angle to the outlet so itll attract less attention, plus i'm gonna paint it black,
which piping are you running to the stock muffler?
