Update pics of my D16 turbo del sol. From BAD to good. :) Hint: ugly-ass bumpe
 

Well boys and girls. Im sure most of you remembered my uglys ass bumper on my old setup (starion intercooler) Since I didn't have brackets. I just decided to Bunji chord it to my bumper support lol. Worked great...but the outcome wasn't soo good.

PAST PIC :thumbdown:

BUT there's good news! I got it fixed! I ordered my Johnnyracecar front mount last week tues. night. And to my surprise it got to WI in 3 days!!!! lol DAMN that's good service. I bought the 6". My friend matt came over (XXslayerXX) and helped me work on it. He took all the pictures here and they turned out great...(there's more on the way that were taken during the day along with my JDM POSE YO!) haha

Here's the progress pics. (final pics at the end)

Oh yeah and he wanted pics of this....
- Stock Exhaust! ....... or is it??? ;)
http://www.uwm.edu/~mdwarren/Dans%20...%20exhaust.JPG [/B]Well, overall im VERY happy with it. I wanted the car to stay as stock as possible. Hence stock exhaust (with Y-pipe). The IC fit good. Matt had to rotozip the bumper up pretty good, but overall it looks good. I LOVE that IC. Im thinking about adding a lip (but suspension's coming first) and also thinkin about putting mesh over the IC not sure yet.

Here's my setup BTW

Turbo D16z6 @ 10psi
T3 60 trim (.60/.63) TON of lag :P but it pulls hard
450cc injectors
VAFC
Johnnyracecar IC
2.5" DP to Y pipe
1G BOV
Custom manifold (made by RenoRacing) This thing is GREAT! (great seller) :thumbup:
Oil lines from Paul Vang! (great seller) :thumbup:
2.25 to IC and 2.5 to TB

That's about all I can think of

6 puck and Walbro 255 hi-flo are sitting in the basement collecting dust haha (that doesnt' help) Hopefully going to put them on next week. Stock clutch slips a TON.
But I can still spin them through 2nd finally haha. =)

Looks good skittle :). Wow your still on the stock clutch?! I'm surprized it lasted this long.

Re:Update pics of my D16 turbo del sol. From BAD to good. :) Hint: ugly-ass bu
 

It looks badass, and about 5000% better than it did before, but HOLY ---- what size is that oil feed line? :o

hahha

Re:Update pics of my D16 turbo del sol. From BAD to good. :) Hint: ugly-ass bu
 

Hey i like it... looks very nice. Yeah i can see that the bottom of the IC is a bit lower then the bumper itself, but nothing the lip wouldn't fix, right?

Re:Update pics of my D16 turbo del sol. From BAD to good. :) Hint: ugly-ass bu
 

looks way better. how's that 60/63 in first? is the lag enough to have first and shift early wot into 2nd?

Re:Update pics of my D16 turbo del sol. From BAD to good. :) Hint: ugly-ass bu
 

damn doc, how long have you been studying that pic? ;)

Re:Update pics of my D16 turbo del sol. From BAD to good. :) Hint: ugly-ass bu
 

damn thats a big improvement. it was fucken ugly as ---- before. looks way better now. u need to post some video footage of that thing

Re:Update pics of my D16 turbo del sol. From BAD to good. :) Hint: ugly-ass bu
 

I'm gonna guess that's a -8 feed line. The first -8 feed line I've seen, but I guess its working. ;)
The car looks way way better with the new IC. I'm a little disappointed that you didn't paint it black, but whateva. :D Nice stuff.

Re:Update pics of my D16 turbo del sol. From BAD to good. :) Hint: ugly-ass bu
 

with a 60 trim T3 i'm surprised you don't want to upgrade your exhaust. That lil' peashooter sticking out of your cars ass looks horribly restrictive. I bet you'd get rid of some of your lag if you upgraded. The front end looks sexy though ;D

Re:Update pics of my D16 turbo del sol. From BAD to good. :) Hint: ugly-ass bu
 

im sad you arent using stealthmode oil lines. i may have to lump you up for that.....new bumper looks good tho

Re:Update pics of my D16 turbo del sol. From BAD to good. :) Hint: ugly-ass bu
 

LOL. Thanks guys! I appreciate the compliments! Glad you guys like it!
I know my last post got pretty funny in the end.

Those shoes are my brother's BTW. GLad you guys like them haha. They're comfortable as HELL! He likes them cuz you dont have to tie them. haha ( But he still doesn't even bother velcroing them :-\ )

Im actually not sure how big the feed is. I know it's big though ;) haha.

The turbo kicks ASS. I took it out for a test drive. The stock clutch isn't holding FOR ----. It whines TERRIBLE. It sounds like a mix of a turbo/supercharger lol. That's how bad the clutch slips. It scared the ---- outta me the first time I got into boost. Then I realize when I shifted into 3rd how bad the clutch was going.

BTW: As for lag. Im actually running a 2.5" DP to a Y-pipe shhhhh ;) NO backpressure here! Wide open downpipe haha. (But the person coming up from behind doesn't know that ;) )

There's a ton of lag in first actually. It starts to spool at around 3000-3500 (the higher gears spool quicker). Im not sure when full boost hits b/c Im too busy staring at the tach cuz right when full boost hits the tires let loose in first. haha (COOLEST feeling in the world.) but damn, i've bounced pretty hard off the rev limiter a couple times. A quick shift into second will leave them spinning the whole way :( Which I was hoping it wouldn't w/that size turbo. But it does. :( Dont know what 3rd gear feels like since I can't go anywhere in it haha. Damn clutch! It doesn't grab AT ALL which really sucks.

Overall, im glad you guys like it! That's cool as hell. It's on 10psi and im LOVING it. Gonna put in the Walbro and 6puck this weekend. ill let you guys know how that goes. ANY TIPS FOR DOING A CLUTCH?! :)

Re:Update pics of my D16 turbo del sol. From BAD to good. :) Hint: ugly-ass bu
 

BTW: The BOV works now. I had horrible boost leaks before. That was the problem. Idk if you guys saw the video, but the BOV wasn't working and it was pretty slow. THAT why haha. I got the piping re-done and everything. TIghtened it down tight, and now the BOV is loud as HELL. It sounds really nice. The car pulls pretty damn hard even though it whines/slips like a bitch.
