Gotta thank Matt for hosting and taking these pics/vid for me. There's a 15 sec vid here too. We didn't push it cuz the neighbors yelled at us the night before for going too fast. "This isn't a race track " :P :thumbup:
Also I turned around the IC, so no more blood red =(


(charge pipe)


(front shot...lookin like ----, just the way i like it no blood red IC tho =()


(gauges and VAFC OHHHHH it's pretty! My view in the cockpit)


(450cc injectors)


(my air filter) (------ works great !)


(resistor box installed zip tied to throttle cable bracket :P )


(return line, 1st ange)


(return line, 2nd angle)


(feed line)


(overall engine bay)


(another shot)


(right side charge pipe)

(MY FIRST VID)!!!!! (it's short) (right click and save PLEASE) (Someone else is hosting )

Well thanks too.
Paul Vang Oil lines, GET UR LINES FROM HIM!!! Great seller!

Havok racing manifold :thumbup:
Matt for hosting, vid, and pics
Dan for vid (which should be up tomorrow) (reason we got yelled at)
Brother giving some compliments
Bseries ACT flywheel soon to be installed


This car Starts, Idles and runs LIKE STOCK!!! it's amazing. It started 1st try!

THe reason i say this...I've only gotten to 1 friggin psi. In first gear I cant get boost! (only taken it to about 5.5 or 6)

Is my piping too long?
Wastegate problem?
MAP problem?
Exhaust housing is a little cracked on the inside i believe but i've had 4 turbos and 3 have had this problem. My other T3 is too. Could this be why
Vacum line?

I was running RIGHT off the O2 housing. (no downpipe)

I do have VTEC too cuz i saw it on the VAFC

My settings are about 33% 1-2.5 and 35 the rest. I even went as high as 40% across!! still no boost and no power up top =(

My low end is great though.

Any thoughts?

I still have stock fuel pump as well. Im gonna try the walbro.

That ------- rag is strangling your intake. I have used that same exact rag as a filter before and it dropped my boost by like 4 psi and robbed me tons of power. Take it off and use a real filter or something thinner. I'm telling you, you won't believe the difference.

Other than that it looks good. It needs some serious cleaning up like those wires and ---- that are just hanging around(gauge pod). Good luck.

are you serious? It droped 4psi? maybe that's why im not seeing boost. I gotta get that filter on. LOL someone else told me this in another forum too!!!! I though I was the only one that stupid! He said a ton of other people have had the same problem. Holy crap, that things coming off.

My friends were telling me the car looks too good w/out a front bumper, so i figured i'd leave it off

(and because it doesn't fit yet )

do NOT use a rag.
even stock air filter material is not suitable to wrap over the air inlet.

run a filter or run nothing at all.
i would recommend going nothing at all until you get a filter.

yah.. dont run w/o anything there.. use panty hose or some screen mesh or something. Last thing u need is a pebble or two getting sucked up in there and destroying the compressor wheel.
