Default A real cool turbo setup from Japan.

This is a really cool turbo setup. I really like the way the setup utilizes the space intelligently and minimizes the pipe running distance.




Power is increased from 229ps to 311ps with only 4 lbs boost.



Looks like this kit can easily fit on the US model.

That is an interesting place for the IC. Is that something that is common?

Can you say heat soak? Not a very good place for the intercooler unless you relocate the radiator and remove your front bumper.

I hope the hood has a hole in it to allow cool air to pass through the IC. Would be kinda like the Subaru setup. Me likes..

Odd that the torque curve drops significantly when VTEC kicks in...

Awww man.. with that intercooler setup, it wont look as cool as mounting it in the front.. hehe... no one would be able to see it unless you open the hood. I would want mine mounted in the usual place in the front so that I can be like bling bling...
