Hoping to hit low to mid 13's pushing 11psi fully tuned on bf goodrich drag radials. I also consider myself a very good driver and have been to the track many times. -Nick

You are quite the fabricator for your age. I am very impressed. Very nice work.

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!
 

F'n A cotton. that manifold and downpipe are sweet. how far back does the 3" go?

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!
 

impressive. I give it an A+

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!
 

Get a filter on that bitch. Or atleast a finer screen.

Looks good. nice dp.

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!
 

nice work.congrats.now itll be just a matter of time before youll want a bigger turbo because boost is like -----.you just cant get enough.I learned that the hard way.keep up the good work

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!
 

looks good but the turbo will be too small, youll want a new one in 2 days

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!
 

whoever sold you that "WRX" turbo lied.

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!
 

hotter air is less dense, you may want to consider runnin the 2 1/4 inch as the intercooler inlet and the 2 inch as the outlet. that way you cool more air.

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!
 

the air coming out of the turbo is more hot and condense, once it goes through the intercooler its going to expand be more densful hence running the bigger pipe. The air's cooler now and not compressed. Hope I said it right im very tired right now. -Nick

Hot air is less dense than cold air. See link:

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!
 

definite hotness

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!
 

damn dude all that hotness under there and your using a ----- turbo, do yourself a favor and get a hybrid..youll thank me later

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!
 

I don't know why everyone is dissing on the wrx turbo. I hit a 13.7 with one in my 98 civic ex @ 9psi on my y8.

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!
 

That downpipe looks just like mine ;D
My entire exhaust is had whitey bends and my charge pipes to..except the upper one

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!
 

very nice work. I like the manifold

damn i should have copy righted that bitch ;) just kiding setup looks good

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!
 

That turbo looks more like an old POS VF11 off a legacy turbo - hope it wasn't more than $100. Can you post up the number off it?

-Michael

Re: My progress, turbo setup! TONS OF PICS!!!!!
 

To tell you the truth I didnt pay ---- for the turbo, im a hustler man. anyways though I just got my wideband (Innovative lm1) and my moates chip burner. I need to start searching ebay for a cheap laptop. What made me believe the turbo was off of a wrx was because of the triangle flange it has on it. Ive ran this turbo in the past and loved the spool time. With this manifold and downpipe I cant wait to see how fast it spools. Hope it's not going to be to hard to tune though since of all the partial throttle boost that's going to be taking place with this turbo. (such fast spool) I dont know im tired and need sleep. Peace

side note what other car has the ihi rhb5 with the triangle turbo inlet flange??? all the older ihi's are not triangle flanges.
