The FedEx man has been very nice to me over the last few weeks. I would have liked to have my manifold by now, but I told Tinker to take his time since I won't be ready for a couple more months anyway. Anyway, the decided stuff is as follows:

B16a2
Lovefab SST
Precision SC61
Tial 38mm WG
Tial BOV
Precision "600hp" Intercooler
Precision Injectors (680cc? Goal is 15psi)

That's the basics of what I am heading towards. I already have the above listed, ordering the Intercooler in a couple hours, and Injectors are two weeks away. I'm still open for suggestions. Anyway, heres a few snaps for all you SC61 fans.















And it's all going into this POS...



I would like to give a BIG Thanks to Arturbo, Ben @ ImportParts.com, Tinker at Lovefab, Jason a.k.a. HulkHB for helping me learn my boost ways, and ImportHatch for all his help with both cars that I've had. Also I encourage everyone that has a few dollars laying around to donate to Vapor Trail's fund. You can see his thread here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=687941

Thanks for looking, and suggestions are welcome.

BEAUTIFUL! Very very very nice Jake! You best be takin me for a ride once this is installed!

 

Get ready for some lag

 

Damnit man, now I'm gunna go through withdrawl until mine gets here in a couple weeks....

 

Those are some artsy pictures of the turbo.

 

looks like you are pretty into your turbo. I will have to see that stuff this wednesday. Thats going to be a powerhouse.

 

is your b16a2 stock. as far as the block. how much boost can it handle safely. i think the 680cc injectors are a good idea if your gonna be boosting that high

 

prolly 10-11psi with an sc61, that should be 300-325whp with a conservative tune..

 

Stock block I'll be boosting 7psi. After it's built I'll bump it up to 15psi or more. We shall see how power hungry I get. Thanks for the replies. See you tomorrow Luke.

 

if u need any turbo parts or controllers...let me know!

 

 

looks good man Am I correct in guessing that the turbo was in the trunk when you snapped the photos?

 

that's quite a turbo if you only plan for 15 psi, in fact it is straight up TOO much TURBO for 15 psi. But whatever floats your boat I guess. Car looks great

lag means traction

 

Just curious why you say it's too much turbo? It puts down amazing numbers even at low boost. Sure, it doesn't get into its max efficiency range until later PSI numbers, but it still works great on low boost. Look up the numbers it puts down, tons of satisfied people.

Cody.... Nah, pics weren't in the trunk. They were taken on a "The North Face" fleece blanket that i tacked against my wall, LOL.

 

******* AWESOME JAKE!! once again another reason added to why his em1 owns everyone elses on H-T!!!

 

DAMN, looks really good Jake. Cant wait to line up with you at the track
And again just look at those quality pics, were gona have to hook up this week and take some pics of some manifolds

 

Looks good Jake. Cant wait to help on the install. I guess you finally got talked into going boosted... Finish it up man, cant wait to see it.


Yager-

 

sigh.......if i could only be as big of a pimp as you

 

id hit it

It puts down very nice numbers, yes, but peak numbers don't tell teh whole story...Im building my b16a this winter and everyday go back and forth between the sc61 and something smaller, I only want 425whp and im sure i could do it with a smaller turbo with less lag, although it would be alot easier with the sc61...hell sometimes i can't stand the lag of my t3/t04e 60 trim .63ar garrett and im right in its efficency range @ 1 bar...how much power do you want all said and done?

 

How much power? I'm not sure yet.... It won't be a daily driver, so I wouldn't mind putting down over 400whp.

 

ur not putting down over 400 on a stock engine

not to hate...

but yo, nice stuff you got!
should be a very potent setup!
how much boost do you think you'll run? and wut kind of engine management?
sory if these qs were answered before, i didnt really wnat to read thru this whole page

 

Yeah I know i'm not going to put down 400 on stock block. Since you didn't read, I'll be doing 7psi on stock block, then 15psi or more once it's built. EMS i'm still undecided.
