Well, where to start... all my buddies have there boosted rides.. IS300's Evo's Sti's.. Rsx.. Integra.. thought it would be cool to have a boosted G around..

Gathered up what I could money wise my budget was around 3k and started to talk with my man Jason Park. Great guy very knowledgeable. Did many of my friend's cars my brothers fully built integra type R..

He port and polish my head, and did my nitrous set up back a year ago. He's been in professional mechanics for a good 14 years now. Specializing in Import and USDM.

So here we go.

Dropped the car off about 4 weeks ago, I gave him 1500 upfront and the rest of the 500 when hes finished.

The 2000 includes the following. Fabrication, intercooler pipes, vbands, labor, HkS SSQV bov, walbro 255 fuel pump and exhaust fabrication. pretty much everything.

Dustin ( illmatic ) sold me a SPA 38mm wastegate, spearco frount mount, and spa 5000 turbo brand new that retails for around 650 + http://focus.c-f-m.com/spaturbo5000-...?dc=googlefeed

yes it's a lil bit small but effective and im happy that he sold me all 3 items for 350 bucks.

I bought RC injectors 440 with clips from a member here $240

here are some pics of how everything is going..

Front Mount


Intercooler piping



Birdcage/Crossover pipe


HKS BOV on hotside


Turbo mounted


Piping idea, Cut the injen MAF housing and used that


So far so good, the car is almost complete.. Fantastic welds and mandrel bending.. all out of a garage. If anyone in socal needs work done please let me know!

I will keep u all updated with pics and anything else I missed!

*NEW* also, kept the DC headers with this turbo kit, hopefully it will free up some air and more power!

you can beat that deal at all. i think its a great setup for a normal street car, good luck with everything

what are you going to tune with?

 

Looks sharp with nice welds. Best of luck with the tuning portion of the project.

 

Hmmm . . . very interesting. I'm with homie, looking forward to seeing the finished product.

 

thanks for all the feed back guys, i think i will be tuning with Church Automotive!

 

glad to see it is coming out very well for you man, the welds and placement of the crossover look amazing +1 for results

 

+1 for engine management?

 

Church huh? So you're using Uprev? Are you in Socal?

 

Amazing! More updates after tune please

 

thanks for the feedback guys! yes i will be using uprev.

im a little confused, i think im gonna need a base map with these 440 injectors to beable to drive very lightly?

 

You can do what I did long ago...have Shawn load a 440 map in your ECU, so when you're ready to drive to the tune you can switch over to the 440 map from the stock map...

Unless you don't have Cruise control, then that's another story...

 

I hope it works out and makes good power.

 

thanks man! yes im socal by the way. well im about hour away from church.. how will he beable to load a 440 map into my ecu? i wanna drive the car with 440's in my car to the tune shop, but if hes over there and im over an hour away how does that work?

also is it okay if i have 440's loaded but no downpipe connected?

 

thanks for the replies guys!
