The install went down in Xenocron's garage on sunday, with the homemadeturbo.com NE crew spoonfeeding me my first turbo.

Good **** for low budget

Who did the welding? Looks like **** and that ***** on the piping lmao, funny **** but I dont think I would do it on mine...

 

I did'nt ask for it. The HMT boys do what they like, or nothing at all .
80% of those welds are Jordan (mahcivic), 19% are Tim, 1% are hotrex (cc-fab).

 

You paid $35 for NGK BKRE7's ?
I hope that was a type-o

lol i can get a set of 4 of those locally for like $8.

 

Your set-up is dicked from the start..lol

Just playing man good luck with everything.

 

I got 3 sets for 25$. Meh. And this setup is the ****.

 

Looks awesome. Ghetto style ftw!

 

they did you in with the peter but hey most kids only wish they had a car like that. stay giving them the business

 

That's a ridiculous amount of IC piping, that Saab intercooler seems like a mistake. Otherwise HMT NE

 

The FMIC cost me 50$ shipped, so I went with it. Originally the turbo was supposed to be spun around = much better charge piping scenario, but I am a expletive tard and that did not happen. Nevertheless.

 

looks good man

 

looks nice!!

 

Now that this thread is cleaned up the good times can continue.

+1 for HMT setup! Always fun to see how a hodge-podge of parts can work together and produce some maddening amount of power.

 

Hehe, cool stuff.

For originality and ingenuity.

 

looks good

 

read this **** over om hmt nice set up ghetto but functional

 

Where did you get that turbo from anyways? Price seems good for one of that size

 

Good stuff.Welds could be prettier but as long as it holds who cares.Low budget kits are great

You should of let hotrex do 85% of the welds, lol! I'm messin with ya, nice project.

 

Everyone who did the welding worked for next to nothing + pizza. I'm happy.
Hotrex had to leave early, his girlfriend won't let him sleep on the couch no mo.

 

gosh that setup is so freakin rigged .

 

nice set up for getting it put together in what? a day. gj now get it tuned. and let the owning begin. you should have seen my first downpipe. now there were some fugly welds, but worked and i didnt care. why should I? gj getting everyone together to work on your car.

 

Better than mine
