Like mentioned above you have to start somewhere. I just recently upgraded my turbo.

 

The Speedcraft kit was the 1st kit available back in 01. The turbo can make around 525whp on a 9:1 CR F20C.. A used Speedcraft is a bargain for the $ vs potential.

It's not a GT turbo, but they don't cost near what a GT does either.

Ian you kit has a much better looking oil filter relocater than what came from Speedcraft

 

oh dont get me wrong fellas/gals...

I started off with the turbonetics kit.. if thats what you wanna call it...

had the turbonetics t3/t4 50 trim bb turbo, revhard mani, greddy rs bov, all lines fittings, rc 750's, aem ems.. put down 301 at 9 psi... couldve gotten more but i just wanted 300 at the time... i got what i wanted..

You have a kit that has potential. more potential than a greddy kit. i even wanted the greddy kit but i knew that i would change it eventually for something bigger...

I sold my kit and all last year for something for my wifey...

im awaiting my hondata kpro and oem parts..... will boost again.

with your 3mm hg... and your setup that your going for... your closer to 400 whp on pump...maybe more.

its always best to go in stages and i'll be the first to tell you.... since i had the similar kit, that you have a great setup for a great start. if your anything like some of us on here... YOU have to set your foot down and say..enough is enough... but your enough might be 800whp.... but just remember this...

Its not the destination that matters most..... Its the journey you experience on getting there...

HAVE FUN!!! i know i did... and will again

 

May not see 500 with just a .58 hotside on a log mani. Although midrange torque should be great.

 

thats a ultimate racing block off plate... everything else is custom

 

[QUOTE=Ian300D,Mar 11 2009, 04:15 PM] Hey it's a start.

 

boost is addictive. esp in this car!!!!! when i first did my kit, said 300whp would be fine, then 350whp, and now on more boost and better cooler for another power goal.

you know what, boost sucks, cuase your always wanting more!

 

good luck on the project!




what rims are these btw? i like!

 

They are Enkie RPMII's, 17in, and pretty light. Wish the offset was better for wider tires, but if I really dump it everything will sit flush on the fender which is a nice look.

 

if your car is a street car, you'll realize that you can only do so much on the street, and 300whp is more than enough. of course more is always nice, but i'm satisfied with my ~300whp.
