well I have finally got up off my *** to post these pics. my setup is....

b16a
gsr trany
act street disk
custom turbo manifold
msd 6al with blaster ss
rc440cc injectors
vafc hack
fake hks ssqv blow off valve
tial 38mm wastegate
turbonetics t3/t4 turbo
custom 2.5 inch mandrel bent charge piping
custom 2.5 inch mandrel bent downpipe
homemade t3 flange
braided oil lines
and those sweet looking and very high quality t-clamps

runs like a champ.

the afc settings are -35 across the board on wot
narrow throttle is -45 to 4000 and then after that -35
vtec kicks in at 5500

timing is retarded 6 degrees

and I am running the 5.8 spring without a boostcontroller.

enough of the talk. hers the pics. ill post up pics of the car later but heres the enginebay.
this is the return line, its very short. yes thats my ghetto coupler charge pipe. it will come off when I am not so damn broke.
heres my pipes, they look hella dirty in this pick but they are super clean.



hope you all like it. 5 bucks says I get flammed for my ghetto chargepipe coupler thingy.

 

no flamming here, i like ur entire setup, the manifold looks pretty good too!

got any numbers yet? hp or track numbers?

-ryan

 

no numbers yet, but soon.
speeking of numbers... who knows a good central valley tuning place. I wont go to method motorworks, because that bastard of a shop dont know what they are doing, and they are ********. they will quote you a price over the phone and then when the car is on the dyno they will double the price. so if anyone knows a place please let me know. isn't there someone it visalia?

 

why do you say your bov is "fake"

 

nice setup

 

oh because it is. it says MONZA across the top instead of HKS but it still works good and sounds cool.

 

i never knew they made fake HKS BOVs ? learn somethign new everyday

 

yeah they are from austrailia... I was kinda pissed when I got it because I bidded on a super sequential blow off valve, thinking that there was no such thing as a fake one. and I got a fake one.

 

nigel , the central valley sucks my ******* dood , im at the navy base in lemoore , and im from the bay area , i go to the bay for all my **** , i might be able to hook you up with some shops up there ill ask , i remember seein a dude that works at kyoshi's at DNR so even the fresno dood will drive for quality..... and every place around here sucks *** , there too expensive and they dont know ****. its sad really

 

yeah thats what I am figuring out. what about the bay area? they have good tuners? I cant wait to get tuned. people are telling me to take my car to ericks. I guess he has a daily driven gsr hatch turbo that gets like 33mpg and has hella power.

 

what manifold is that. clean lil setup.

 

Ive heard that DSR in San Jose is pretty good. Im not sure what they charge though.

 

I got it off of ebay. the sellers name was squezhappy he made it himself I guess. supposedly he is a certified tig welder. the manifold works great compared to those crappy log manifolds my friend with the a h22 prelude turbo is using a log and that thing blows ***. it takes forever to spool. mine is fully spooled around 45

and does anyone know what a good price is for dyno tuning?

 

dsr in san jo is good
dnr in hayward is great
area 51 in san mateo , im not sure if they have a dyno but they would be awsome

these cats around here are lost ,i havent herd of a good tune shop around here

 

yeah everyone seems to be pointing toward hayward. I might have to give some people some calls.

 

call DNR at 510-783-5200

ask for ben , tell him mark with the silver ek hatch sent you , he might reconize that , he'll tell you everything you need hes the owner

how much was the BOV? btw nice set up let us know what you hit at the tracks. i have a smiular set up but never timed it too....

 

Lookin' good Nigel. . .

Come by the shop when you get more time. I'd like to take a ride.

Let me know if you're going to make it to Famoso with us on the 22nd.

About Tuning. I'd highly recommend Harv's Performance in Whittier

 

Nice setup.

I use to live in fresno, I've never seen your car around.

Harv's is a badass place to tune, he tuned my all motor car a few year ago.

ryan where do u work?

 

harv's? thats like the 30'th person to tell me to go there. so I guess I will. stoopid school is starting for me soon. so its going to be hard to get there. I can probably ditch a day

ryan- I will probably stop by the shop tuesday and take you for a spin.

and if everyone would give ryan and reiley a round of applause, because they saved my ***. I hooked the wastegate wrong and the first time I punched it it shot to 15lbs @5500. I take my car to ryan and robert and they fix it instantly. they both kick ***.

as for famoso, I need to find some slicks and then I will go. Ill talk to you tuesday tho.

 

Has anyone ran 8psi on a stock b16a? and does anyone think its ok for me to try?

 

setup looks good man

 

I ran 11 on a stock B16a, but with stock injectors, and an FMU. This was 4+ years ago, before I knew **** about this game.

Needless to say, it lasted about 2 hours.

 

Are you trying to scare me??? huh? yeah well

YOU DID!!!
