Default archull's peakboost turbo setup

Ok guys, I have been waiting on this for awhile.
I just got in my Peakboost turbo kit.

Here is a breakdown of the kit:

T3/44 Sidemount stainless steel Turbo Manifold (Coated by HPC)
44mm Dumptube (Coated by HPC)
3" Stainless 2 pc downpipe w v-band (Coated by HPC)
Garrett GT3076 turbo (.82 AR, .60trim, S-cover)(Exhaust housing Coated by HPC)
Tial 44mm Wastegate
Tial 50mm Blow off valve
PWR 6" x 23.5" x 3" vertical flow intercooler core(total height is 12") (anodized black)
2.5" Aluminum chargepipe kit with PWR Silicon Couplers & t-bolt clamps (Piping powder coated black)
Steel braided oil/feed return lines
All installation hardware, gaskets, & heatwrap
K&N Intake filter


Besides these parts that came with the kit I am going to be running the following:

Hondata Kpro
RC 750cc injectors
GM 3bar map sensor
GM boost control solenoid
Peakboost Vac Block
Peakboost battery tray
Odyssey battery
Innovative Motor Mounts
CC stage 4 clutch
Oil sandwich plate adapter
hondata intake manifold gasket
Thermal 3" exhaust
NKG BKR8EIX plugs

I know that I am forgetting some of the other stuff but this is what I remember off the top of my head.

Well, here are some of the pictures that I took of the kit so far, and I am going to take more in the time up to come and add pics as we build the car. I am not going to be able to do the install right away because of school and money. This project has about tapped me out and school and work leave me no time to work on the car.

I will be showing the progression of the project in the months to come. I plan on doing the fuel system and an RBC as my next moves on this project but they are going to have to wait.


Well, enough talk, here are the pics.

Lol, the reason I posted it here and on CRSX is that some people go to one site and not others. I just wanted to show people that there is a new name in the turbo game

Lol, sorry, I didn't mean to post the pic of my extra oil pan, gauges, gauge pod, map sensor, injectors, etc.

the kit itself ran me over 4k, the other stuff, I forget how much I spent on everything. I get kinda depressed, lol

well, the dp should be on its way back from peakboost.

The car is now back to stock so I can have my warranty work done on the car before I boost it and loose all my warranty.

I got most of my parts in now. All I need now is to actually get a race battery, battery tray, fuel pump and some vac lines.

Just got in my clutch, oil sandwich plate adapter, and exhaust in so there are a few pieces that I had to pick up that I have in my possession now.

Megan Racing race spec coilovers. The front is set about as low as it will go but the rear can come down more but I like the look of the front and rear being level.

The coilovers ride rough as hell but man the car handles like its on rails

I still need to buy a few more pieces. I need to order a smaller race battery and build a battery tray, buy a new Primary o2 sensor (because I think mine is starting to crap out on me), and some Vac lines for my turbo kit.

I am also debating on getting the RBC intake manifold

I would also like to thank a few people who have been a tremendous help to me throughout this ordeal.

- My new sponsor Carlos & SCTuned.com
-Ken at peakboost for building me this kit and giving me such a great price. I was willing to be their guinea pig
-All the members of Clubrsx and K20a.org for teaching me all that I needed to know about these cars before building it for myself, it has been a long but interesting experience
-and one of the most important, my boy Duy, without you man I could have never built this car on my own.

HAHA, the funny part is that I am broke, especially since this build has begun. I work 2 jobs, go to school full time and I have a family yet somehow I squeeze my pennies to spend these thousands on this turbo build, lol.

This is something that a savings account and 2 years of waiting will get you
