Nice job, I love the AFI kit, I just wish I could afford it.

 

Thanks guys. I will get some more pics tonight. The clearance between the 2 dump tubes and downpipe is really tight with the filter. Im still trying to figure all of that stuff out.

As far as the A/C lines, they go through the hole were the washer fluid filler is and hug the underside of the fender and come back through by the horn. I will get some pics of that as well.

Camuman, I'm sure I will get what I want this time!

Spectacle, The manifold is not braced at all which did concern me a little but gt30r has the same manifold with a bigger turbo and doesn't seem to have any issues that i know of.

 

Looks great

 

What...what is this!? I didn't know you made a build thread. You snuck this past me! Anyways, we have been working on this for about 3-5 hours per night almost every night for a week or so. The quality of the kit is nice, however I am a bit unsatisfied with how the kit fits on the car.

 

Ur in the position I like to refer to as dibs on first drive lol. Whenever I help friends in big builds I say I drive first!

 

My shop is working on fitting our "kit." The quality of the manifold is great... the rest of the "kit..." not so much. Nothing really fit well and they wound up having to relocate a bunch of stuff and had to fab a bunch of additional stuff.

You should log the total number of man-hours it takes to install this "kit." We're already at dozens and dozens of shop hours....

 

Yeah I have the same feelings you do. I think the welding and craftsman ship is fantastic but the fitment of some things is just ok.

 

looks good but i see 2 problems
main problem is that for a twin scroll design your turbine housing is way way too small. It was kill you top end and not make a lot of power expically with a high slowing s2000 head. you should have ran a divided t4 1.06 ar . This is what i have on my evo and i can tell you it spools faster than my old open scroll gt3076r did.

next is get a bigger air filter

 

Yeah a few guys have said that about the turbo but for now its fine. As far as the filter goes that is all that will fit. The filter that comes with the kit is to big to fit betwwen the turbo and the fender.

 

Actually, now that I look at your setup, the 0.70 A/R your using is from the compressor side. You need to look at the turbine or hotside to see the A/R of the divided exhaust housing. I am certain that you do not have a housing smaller than a 1.06 as that is the smallest T4 divided housing ATP turbo sells.
