The downpipe looks to be pretty close as far as bolting back up, but this turbo does sit higher it seems..so w/that said..I'll start modifying the d/p tonight..see if I can get that taken care of quickly. One less thing out of the way.

 

I've been slow to update or even work on the car for that matter.

-Took the compressor off to have it welded. I will add, the billet wheels are teh sickness!!


-Cut off the 4bolt, welded up the vband flange.



-What it looks like currently. No bumper/fenders.


Doubt I'll have anymore pics until after first of the week.

 

keep it going!

 

cant wait to see your results on this turbo. mmmmmmmm power

 

Thanks guys.

I couldn't believe how flimsy the billet wheel feels..first one I've ever seen...seems so light even compared to my 30r....insane.

That coupled w/a BB housing this thing should be hot...

 

Very clean setup Adam.

Cant wait to see the completed results.

 

about time you actually do something.. if you spent less time pm'ing and actually do something,, youd get something done.. lol jk jk jk..

guess what?


i was out driving mine tonight..hurry up already..and btw, come wrap my downpipe.. did you soak the wrap in water like it says before you did it>

 

Looks great, Adam! Don't forget to post a build thread on SvA.

 

Hey Adam,

Youre running the AEM EMS arent you? you can get rid of that oil pressure sensor thats sticking out just below your compressor on the VTEC solenoid and cap it. It's not used with the EMS.

 

Big negative on the soaking of the wrap.

That might help make it more flexible, never though about that or read it anywhere.

I usually by the stuff from summit, which is $$. This time around I found some on eBay for 1/2 the price and twice as much..and actually seems thicker from what I remember, so I'll see how well it lasts.

I've used the wrap for ~5yrs now and never done that..so who knows, lol.
