I have been doing the NA thing for a bit and it just wasnt cutting it so I went back to boost.
I have had 370+hp to the wheels with a different set up so I know what big power is all about. On this set up I decided to go back to what I started with....small turbo, instant boost, great drivability...and CHEAP! I've got $1200 in the whole kit.
. Car drives absolutely fantastic, I will never do big turbo again..

We did the IC over to one side so I would have absolutely no problems with cooling or AC switching off.

Thats a strange mix of expensive parts you have on your R but daddy like... What kind of numbers do you think the new turbo kit will do, and did you bother to lower your comp ratio or will you run it as it is?

 

compression is 9.8:1 with the Endyn pistons.

this setup should make 300+whp at somewhere around 12-15psi I would think. I had this same turbo on a Stock ITR block and head about 2 years ago and it did this at 10psi.

money is nice

 

very nice why the rev hard log manifold though? why not tubular? because of space issues? I see you still have the stock sized radiator, wish I could keep mine but it wont fit.

Ive never had big boost, so I plan to boost to the freaking moon lol

 

I wanted a log mani so I didnt have to worry about the manifold cracking, also the more manifold you got in there the more heat you got....big manifolds make big heat.
Its not the stock sized radiator, its a fluidyne pushed all the way forward.

yeah I know the fluidyne is a lil bigger and didnt realize you pushed it farther forward. I have the same radiator, wonder if Ill be able to do something similar. Did the hood latch become the limiting factor to relocating the rad?

 

Damn good **** mang is that a real mugrn

 

Nice Scott. Back to a Starion/Conquest IC

 

Damn Scott, looking sweet as always!! Let me know when you want to make another track visit. =P

 

ya, the hood latch prevented it from going any further forward.

Starion IC is good sheit

no track yet, but soon

dyno plot?

I'm going with an 18g myself.....

 

great set up thats one of the smartest R's I have seen yet. lots of good choices there. I can't wait to see how much boost it will take
to make 300 WHP

 

thankyou for the compliment

only 20hp from 300 with this same setup on stock block, stock head. I am now 84.5mm. we should see some decent numbers when I am done. I am not going for peak numbers though but they are nice to see.

Black intercooler , thats fucken tight.

 

vids!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sweet, Nice to See Your car agian!

I remember Seeing it at a Dyno day, I think you had the T3 on it then?

Eric

 

Booooooosttt! Thats nice man

 

Thats a sweet turbo set up. One of the nicest ive seen in an engine bay. (and i'm usually not a big turbo fan)

Simple and neat with no fancy ricey colours and to the point. It even looks like a stock ITR Turbo had Honda released them directly.

Nice job mate - loving it.

 

YOU RICH ****!

 

ive seen you in the st pete area every once n a while, your car is damn fine lol
