It is a custom turbo setup GT35R
Yes I am running k-pro.
Only thing rebuilt is the tranny, it puked on the dyno. Engine is stock.
I do get the occasional blue smoke out of the tailpipe but thats about it.

Dyno sheets? That is an awfully lot to put out on a stock K20 at just 9 lbs of boost. What other engine mods you have?

Welcome man, great Dc5. I was debaiting on either turboed or supercharged for my k20a3. How reliable is that set up? Any problems so far? About how much time do you spend under the hood?

I'm still waiting to hear how often he's under the hood. Turboed motors require constant maintence. Some more than others. My swapped Ej8 was a pain right in the *****.


Also, how hot does that engine bay get with that turbo just chllin in the middle of the bay like that?!?

here is the dyno sheet from my race gas pulls

here is one of my first pump gas pulls. Cant find the last one that we hit the higher numbers


As for the question of how much time under the hood, well pretty much none except the oil change. Has been trouble free so far (knock on wood)

Why would I lie about a dyno sheet? Whats it gonna get me? DUH
Anyways if you dont believe me call the shop that did my work Tuning Factory in Novi, MI. http://www.tuningfactoryinc.com/

You apparently dont know much about boosted RSX's. There are similar setups like mine on CRSX with about the same numbers.
