Dig the tack welds on the IC pipes. Guess it's REALLY not done yet.

Oh come on, a little pressure leak never hurt anyone.

Maybe I should start making turbo kits, I have all sorts of cool fabrication stuff now I might even weld all the way around the intercooler piping.

The kit isn't finished yet. They are still fabricating, and that shot was taken before the kit was finished. I am friends with the Rev Hard pit crews crew chief, and I used to own a Rev Hard kit on my old B16A Civic. The kit will be dope...trust me.

Looks dope right now. Ahh boy, theres gonna be a lot of pissed people with tegs and civics now. Figure power would be more than a boosted R so 300 hp should be easily obtainable.
Please keep us updated on this. My brother has a Type-S and I will talk him into the purchase of the kit.

Yeah, seems like they COULD make alot of power but it seems like the fuel system w/ the kit is going to suck. If they just use a s-afc, it's going to be very hard to tune, and not to mention the driveability is going to be horrible at tip-in wot. They could just redo the fuel system and add an external fpr and add a return line..

yeah i will be interested to see how this non-returning fuel system works. I know miatas use this, dont they?

On a stock motor, does the fuel pressure stay constant throughout the rpm/throttle position ranges? if it changes, what regulates it? something with the fuel pump back in the tank?

I read an old article on the turbo Celica. I think it was A'PEXi decided to make a return line. Sounds like a hassle.

I'm not 100% sure, but it probably has an intank fpr which probably keeps the fuel pressure constant all the time. I'm not sure if the fuel pressure can vary at all at different vacuum. Neons also have no external fpr.
