I'm considering buying a Turbo ITR, here are the specs, let me know if it seems like a reliable setup. I noticed it doesn't have a Walboro fuel pump. Would I need one? By the way this is tuned w/ hondata 280whp @ 10psi. Sound good?

• Rev Hard Turbo Kit:
o Precision T3/04e Turbo
o Spearco Front Mount Intercooler
o Tial Wastegate
o Vortech Blow Off Valve
o Rev Hard Cast Iron Manifold
o 2.5” Downpipe
o 2.25" Aluminized Mandrel Bent Piping

• Thermal 3” Exhaust
• High Flow Catalytic Converter
• Precision 580cc Injectors
• AEM Fuel Rail
• AEM Fuel Pressure Regulator
• Turbo Smart Dual Stage Manual Boost Controller
• Greddy Turbo Timer
• Hondata s200b With hondata Base unit (not an aftermarket conversion harness)
• Clutchmasters Stage 3 Kelvar Clutch and Flywheel (They have less than 200 miles on them)
• Fal Slimline Fans


• Fuel Pressure Gauge

I'd ask who tuned it... high compression ITR engine + 10 lbs requires a highly competent tuner. It seems like a well thought out setup.

There's no replacement for correct use of "there"

He said it was done at The Whip Factory near Chicago.

 

Nice Car...

 

super dave said nice car which means he must knows it.

If he has hondata Im sure he has a walbro Fuel pump.

 

Yea, I spoke with Dave today. He said it does have a fuel pump, and from what he says, it was tuned extremly conserative.

Timing was 18 degrees, and he said he tuned it conservativly because it was his first b18c5 turbo tune.

Sounds to me like a solid setup

 

I like the setup except for the high flow cat, if You want to free up some power grab a test pipe and lose the high flow cat they do not last and for F.I who needs a cat,as far as tuning goes i would go to no one but evanstuning in P.A his work is flawless on anything ecspecially high compression type rs with turbos

 

maybe he needs to pass state emissions...? (regarding the cat)

 

Yea, I'll probably keep the CAT, plus I don't want the car to be so loud as to get me tickets everywhere. If it's too loud, I'd actually install stock cat/exhaust, I'd rather not get a ticket than 10 extra HP

Pic of engine bay (hows it look?)

 

nice and clean, looks like a well taken care of vehicle

don't worry about the noise, turbos quiet the car down a LOT its freakin awesome

 

you will lose more than 10hp but do what you have to do

 

i agree lose the cat and tune for some more power c'mon now we don't want no wussies. let that turbo breathe
