Well. I decided to boost my 99 Si with a custom kit. I already have a VAFC installed so that will be controlling fuel. I have ordered stainless -3AN line and fittings that should arrive here this week. The only thing left is my Intercooler (which I paid for and still waiting for after a month from some possible scammer!!)

Turbo is a T3 from a Nissan, specs are .48/.60 i believe (i will prob upgrade to T3/T4 later this summer

HKS BOV
Deltagate wastegate (will be upgraded to TIAL later)
HKS turbo timer
Custom 2.25 inch piping from JC Whitney for charge pipes
Custom 2.5" catback from MKTeller8
Maxrev manifold
Autometer carbon fiber gauges
HKS air filter
Autometer BSPT adapter for oil.
AEM/Eibach rear sway
Generic rear strut bar
RC 370cc injectors with clips
MSD Inline Fuel Pump
Aeroquip stainless return line
Summitt Racing T Bolt clamps (3.95 each from summit)

Oh yeah and I got a downpipe too with a custom cutout for open downpipe from 00ITR (not yet arrived).

On your turbo , do you have a 7 or 5 bolts on the exhaust side. I am also running a Nissan turbo T3(.60/.63)but had trouble finding a DP flange cause mine was a 7 bolt.

 

that wastegate doesn't look like a tial.
boost spikes

 

5 bolt turbo.

I will be UPGRADING to Tial later. I know it's a Deltagate duh.

VAFC hack will control fuel!

 

buwhahaha.
yukky on the vafc and fuel

 

too bad he didnt say it was a tial, he said deltagate and he is gonna upgrade later to a tial. read the post buddy!

 

awesome, post pics of the install

 

Looks good, but why do you have an inline pump? Are you going to jack up the fuel pressure with a FMU later? BTW, how's that generic rear strut bar working for you?

 

i'm building a kit myself, just wondering were did you get those pipes from??? also how much did you spend so far??

Looking good.

 

am i dreaming?

 

I think your oil return line is gonna be too short

Seriously though, looks like it's gonna be a great setup, similar to what I'm running on my LS

 

looks like its all coming together nicely....
