Ok, like the title says, I finally received some pics from the guys at peakboost about their DC5 series turbo kits. These are basically teaser shots, they are sending me the rest afterwhile but its enough to raise interest.

Here also is the info on their pricing they sent me. I think it is pretty damn fair for what you get compared to many kits out there:



Here is a breakdown of the kit:

T3/44 Manifold
44mm Dumptube
3" Stainless 2 pc downpipe w v-band
Tial 44mm Wastegate
Tial 50mm Blow off valve
PWR 6" x 23.5" x 3" vertical flow intercooler core(total height is 12")
2.5" Aluminum chargepipe kit with hoses & t-bolt clamps
Steel braided oil/feed return lines
All installation hardware & gaskets
Installation Instructions

Optional water lines with ball bearing turbo upgrade.

Stage 1 retail: $3699.00 T3/T4 based

BB upgrade: GT3076R (57 or 60 trim) or GT35R $600.00 with water lines

Turbos available:

T3/T4
T3/60-1 ($100 upgrade over base kit)
T3/T67 ($200 upgrade over base kit)

GT28RS
GT2871R
GT3071R
GT3076R 57 trim
GT3076R 60 trim
GT35R


And lastly, the pics:


you will notice with the pic of the intercooler, the intercooler looks pretty narrow. That is because that customer only had small power goals and they had an extra one sitting around at that size (it was from their scion kits which use smaller intercoolers). The RSX kit's intercooler is 6" wider.

Well, here they are:

The kit is available now, I just ordered mine yesterday. They have a 5 week production time as of now though so you will have to wait a bit on the kit to be shipped to you but you can place your order any time.

Yes, you can keep powersteering and ac, the k-series is not like the b-series. The reason you lost ac and ps on the b-series is becauses the compressor and power steering pump were in the front of the motor where the manifold and turbo is and if you want to run a decent sized turbo you have to get rid of the ac & ps. With the k-series the exhaust ports on in the back of the motor and this manifold is actually a sidewinder manifold. The turbo actually sits over the transmition.

The pricing is shown in my first post.

The stage one kit (t3/t4 journal bearing turbo) is $3699
If you want to stick with a journal bearing turbo but want something larger than the t3/t4 turbo there is a $100 upgrade option to the 60-1 turbo and a $200 option for the t3/t67 turbo.

For the guys that want the GT series turbos there is a $600 option for the GT30r and the GT35R (which includes all the necessary water lines for the kit to run the dual cooling of the turbo). From what I understood, the GT30 or the Gt35 are the same price which ever one you choose.

So here is another breakdown of pricing:

T3/T4 kit = $3699
60-1 kit = $3799
T3/T67 kit = $3899

GT30R kit or GT35R kit = $4299

 

now what are the approximate numbers for stock internals with this kit for the diff turbo sizes?

 

so what kit would you run if you wanted to keep ac/ps?

 

any turbo kit if your read his post

</TD></TR></TABLE> ahh thanks for the info. Do they have a site where you ordered it from?

 

did you have to cut into the bumper support/ frame what ever you call it? Does that comprimise the cars structural rigidity?

That was not my car and that is not the way I am going to mount my intercooler. That was a prelim. tryout on a customer car they did. The Intercooler RSX kit is going to fit behind the front bumper support, you will probably have to notch about an in out of it but nothing that will affect it structurally. I agree with you though, I was not a fan on how they mounted that little itty bitty intercooler.

 

it might not affect it structurally, but ive seen insurance companies deny claims because of "modified" reinforcements, the reinforcement bar is the one above the intercooler in the pic. the reason they deny it is because thats the main thing that protects your car in an accident.

actually i just took another look at that pic and he has the whole front cut out, if he was to get in an accident with any front end damage that guy would be screwed, if an insurance adjuster saw that half the re-bar was cut out he would deny the claim instantly....

other than the intercooler it looks like a sweet *** kit though....

I agree with the poor placement of that extremely small intercooler. This is not the same intercooler than comes with the kit. The picture is merely a reference to show you guys that they are using a vertical flow intercooler on the kit. This intercooler is 6" more narrow than the kit comes with. Also, the intercooler is going to sit behind the bumper support, you might have to trim the rear of the support a bit but you will not have to butcher it like that picture is showing.

 

i cant seem to find the kit on there site

 

looks sick man... nice work

 

Here are some installed pics. As you can see the Dumptube is only tacked up and not fully welded yet. This is not my car this is installed on. This is actually one of the guys who works at Peakboost's car. The dumptube will be removed and fully welded. They just put everything on the car to take a few pics

 

Damn that looks sick! Wonder when they will come out with one for the new Si's

btw, how are they going to run the piping for from the turbo to intercooler?

 

that is actually a good use of that empty space we have after removing the airbox. all other turbo kits i see have it in an unconvenient spot behind the motor.

 

i couldnt wait for this so i went rev hard, but that manifold looks frigin sweet.

 

added new pics on top

 

Nice setup

 

manifold looks insane
