I just installed the Apexi kit on my Sol and thought I'd share some pics. It took 2 full days of my best Argentinan homie and I to install everything from the boost gauge to the intercooler. This little ball bearing turbo hits full boost (stock 4psi) at 2500 rpm, and makes 1st gear just break lose. I'm running an ok Uberdata base map on RC 370's, but cant wait to get it tuned for 10psi. Other related things are Blitz DD, GE vac mani, and XS silvia core intercooler. The whole kit fit perfectly and I haven't had any problems yet. The Golden Eagle vac mani and fire wall oil distribution kit made for easy hook ups. All I need is some tuning and change my intercooler pipes and couplers cuz this kit was on an EK before I got it.

 

nice kit

 

biggest intercooler I've ever seen on a del sol.

 

ahh...a turbo sol...nice set up...ic looks mean...

 

Front end accident is really going to **** that car up

 

Looks like a clean install.

 

damn. any more pics of the sol?

 

Was it important enough to let us know your friend who helped you install the kit was Argentinian? At 10 psi are you even making use of that fmic? It's pretty.. big..

 

thats a huge intercooler. im curious how much you will throw down when tuned.

definitely overkill and the pressure drop may be too much for a low boost car but still is nice.

 

The intercooler is only 20x11x3. I only got 1psi drop when installed after I hooked it all up first with no intercooler. 2 inch pipes and ball bearing make spool up super quick. I'm good for right now.

Good ****.

I shouldn't talk though, I have a Greddy Type 24.

 

Man, it's hard to look for those APEXi SOHC kit nowadays. I've been trying to look for a brand new one. ANyone knows where I can get one with all APEXi parts like the ex. manifold IC pipings and the IC itself? I know the APEXi GT FMIC is big for the little ball bearing turbo but I'm a parts *****.

 

nice

two thumbs up for another turbo d ninja!
