Default Archull's Peakboost powered Turbo RSX-S Build *tons of pics, 56k don't bother*

Ok guys, I have been waiting on this for awhile.
I am finally putting in my peakboost turbo kit in my 06' RSX Type-S.

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
GM 3bar map sensor
GM boost control solenoid
Peakboost Vac Block
Billet battery tray
Odyssey battery
Innovative Motor Mounts
CC stage 4 clutch
Oil sandwich plate adapter
hondata intake manifold gasket
Thermal 3" exhaust
NKG BKR9EIX plugs
Walbro intank pump
AEM fuel rail
Aeromotive FPR
RC 750cc injectors
-8an stainless fuel feed lines & -6an return lines all with Earls & Russel fittings
Aeromotive 10 micron inline fuel filter
RBC intake manifold
Hondawerx RBC adapter

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.

I will be showing the progression of the project.

Well, enough talk, here are the pics.




























And the car its going on:

Day 1 of install:

Tear down pretty much done for today. Got a late start due to a bunch of bullshit that I had to do the for inlaws. I didn't spend long on it today, about 3 1/2 -4 hrs. Things went really quick.
Interior is completely out, bumper, undertray, bumper support, headlights, intake manifold, throttle body, header, cat, exhaust, battery, battery tray, stock fuel lines, fuel rail, injectors, etc.


Here are a few pics of how she sits for now. Its kinda dark outside though for the pics to be taken

Day 2:

Updates:

Install has not gone as smoothly as originally planned. Thing has been fighting us the whole way, lol.

Every time we think we have finalized the installation of a part we run into more **** that makes it not fit. So we have to go back and keep redoing things due to placement.

The fuel system has been redone several times.


Here are a few pictures of what we have done so far














Original FPR before we ran into clearance issues with the TB & FPR




New location:



More heat wrapping done

Around 425whp with a conservative tune for now due to the fact that I am still running a stock motor.

Well if ever there was an example of "Do it right the first time"... I bet your next CC statement will hurt a bit, though

I'm really surprised there aren't more dual-scroll manifolds for the K's. Everything is perfect for it, no need for odd runner routing like a divided d/b/h topmount.

Actually I didn't put any of this on a CC card. I refuse to pay interest. I always save up money until I have the cash to do something. I have been saving for this for over 2 years now.

Just repeating what he said brandon. Please do not shoot me. Looks really good and I am happy to finally see your project under way. If you need me, you know how to get ahold of me.

I told that fool that as soon as my semester ended I was going to do the install, lol. I started the day after my last final on the install.

This bitch better be running by tomorrow night if my parts come in on time. If it weren't for my boy Duy helping me the install would have never been done on time and it would be no where near as complete as it is now.

<U>Daily update
</U>

Ran into a few problems today. Oil feed line was about 9 inches too short due to us wanting to route the line where we felt it was safe and I didn't want to run the line from the oil sender unit. I ordered a new line that is 40 inches long for the feed instead of the 31inches the one with the kit was. I also found out that the fitting from the drain flange on the turbo to the drain line was the wrong size. The one for the drain line that I had was for the old turbo center section that I had an not the new one which is much larger.

I had to redo alot of wiring from an old alarm system that when installed it they ****** up my harness so I had about 10 lbs of wiring removed from the car, Thank you Duy .

New AC lines are installed and hold a vacuum perfect, I can't recharge the AC until I get the car running though.

most of the wiring is already done. The injector clips, 3bar map sensor, etc. have all been buss wrapped, soldered & heat shrink wrapped. All lines have been relocated and wrapped. Fuel system is completed.

Basically the car would have been up and running tonight if the lines were able to fit on my setup.

I also pulled all my brakes off the car, replaced the front calipers and rotors and replaced the brake pads all the way around the car and used new brake fluid. Still have to finish that up and bleed it.

Boost control solenoid & gauges are most of the electrical work left to do and it will be handled early tomorrow morning.

Wow this is a serious project! I love seeing piles of new shinny parts. Reminds me of my first build when I had a similar pile in my room and I'd go in there every day and pick up my turbo, spin the blades, and day dream about boosting. lol it took me a year for my first build, I can't imagine waiting for 2!

Good luck with everything. One question I always want to know, how the hell do you get to the bolts to mount the manifold to the head back there? Seems like there is zero room?

Very carefully, lol. You have to get the top bolts from on top between the runners and the bottom of the flange you have to be under the car to get to.
