Default turbo installed pic inside

Ok so i have parted ways with the jrsc-r kit and went back to what i really love. Don't get me wrong, I liked the jrsc but it gave me really bad mpg and did not push up top. So here is my baby as it sits now.

Mods-
03 ep3 Nhbp
Hfp Springs
Rsx-s rear sway with asr subframe
Greddy kit with 550's, kpro, and Greddy front mount
Greddy type s bov
megan 2.5 mid with stock axle back and no cat.
Hid's 6k
hawk pads allround
Esmm

Ice-
Jensen flip up deck
Alpine 1242D in bandpass box
Alpine M2000 amp.
Boston 4ways all round

Security
Code alarm 2 way paging alarm
Lo-Jack
Fuel cut switch


That's really all i can think of right now. I'm running 10 psi right now and hope to get to Dallas to get tuned for more. I'm don't know how to do a good photo shoot so hope the pics will do. My gramps won't let me use his 12 megapixel camra so maybe soon. Anyways, on with the pics. Not bad for being 21 and paying cash for all of it an have no debt. Now i just need to buy a bigger house.









Comments welcom.

Like McDonalds,
"I'M LOVIN' IT!"


Great job...

(i could never drive on stock rims) ...Very Sleeperish!

but i'm "moore" impressed that you have it all paid for!
in this economy, you're doing better than most!

Good luck on the bigger house, but i'd wait for the prices to drop some "moore"!
i'm sure you'll get a Great Deal! (and get a NICE HUGE garage!)

Cheers on the car and your money management, keep up the good work!

Why could you not ride on stockers? I know i don't really like them but like you said, "Sleeperish." As far as the intake arm, I know, I was sent the wrong one and i had to make due whith what i had. Now with the money management, Yea i do pretty good. I got my degree by 20 and graduated the police academy by 21. so by the time im 45 ill have retired.

If i drove hard i would get between 20-22mpg highway and 23-25mpg being nice highway. i just don't like supercharges. My greddy kit is giving me 24 beating the crap out of it and 27-30mpg with a 50/50 mix.

Swap out the rubber hose for your intake to your turbocharger and use a piece of 3" aluminum. Looks good.

Kpro or Emanage crap? If you have Kpro, is it tuned? If it's tuned how much power did you make? Did you replace the crappy greddy oil lines and did it the right way by tapping the oil pan for a return?

Do you think an oil cooler would be something to invest in? I let it idle down and what not but would an oil cooler really help me out?

Looks good. Get a 3bar and crank the boost to 13.
