Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car (more pics 56K maybe)
 

So I began totaling up everything I've spent making this kit, barely hit $700 at first.

This is the breakdown.

HF Mani with welded adapter and 14b turbo - $100
14b flange - $20
flexpipe - $15
fancy o2 bung - $7
4 Tuner Toys Bends - $70
2 Mcmaster 90* manifold style bends - $10
Stevemode lines - $75
Injectors - $45
Resistor Box - $20
TunerToys Couplers w/clamps - $43 (traded 14b o2 housing for 5th coupler, thanks Craig!)
Dual Stage Boost Controller - $50
JRC 8" FMIC - $199
Blitz DD BOV - $90

Total $744

No money spent on welding, did that myself, and also on some parts had someone else weld at work.
No money spent on ECU socket, cause I already had it, but when I bought that I paid $80 for my ECU to be converted from an auto, socketed, and a basemap

If you wanna count the total for the ECU into it

Total $824

Also if you wanna count my laptop, burner, and wideband, tho they aren't necessary to complete the kit.

Laptop $200
Wideband $279
Burner $42

Total $1345 (still not too bad)

OBVIOUSLY this could be done cheaper, you dont need a $90 BOV and an 8" intercooler, and a cheap napa o2 nut for a bung would work. I decided to go nice on some stuff for when i do my built setup.

The first time I boosted, I paid $1600 for a kit, $80 for the above ECU, and it was a tiny little GReddy mess that only ever got me a 14.72 1/4 mile, boo @ GReddy, guess you gotta learn one way or another. HMT 4 Life.

Here's pics of all the ----.

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence.

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence.

REPOST

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence.
 

dude your turbo is still too small nukka

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence.
 

agreed, but for $100 how can you complain, don't worry I'll be moving to something bigger and better over time. This just gets me back in the game.

pics are all up top now. IFLYBYE can you take your post down so its not raping my server completely.

Installed pics and video, on Saturday. I plan on getting up early to install. I'd do it sooner but I work all week.

This gives me time to compile all the little things I am going to add in, new spark plugs (anyone know what 1 step colder is for d16?), fresh oil and filter, valve cover gasket, things like that.

Also, does anyone know of a 450cc injector seal I don't need to bore out? I don't have a dremel.

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence. PICS!
 

Nice work FOOKER. I love the room full of car/turbo parts :D

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence. PICS!
 

so is it all on the car and running?

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence. PICS
 

this saturday is install day. right now im working on charge pipes, welded them up today, tomorrow ill grind down the welds (they look like crap) and then ill bring em home for some paint.

also need to get myself a 2 bolt flange for the end of the downpipe.

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence. PICS

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence. PICS

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence. PICS

Rule #1 in racing is alway shout out your sponsors.


I'm sure skittles is gonna be mad that you didn't shout out them hooking up your engine bay. :D


(taste the rainbow, bishes) ;)

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence. PICS
 

my engine bay looked like that for a short time. i got the black OE wires back in and black charge piping. now it looks nothing like that at all anymore.

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence. PICS!
 

nice work. i think it looks real good. you gonna hit the dyno or anything?

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence. PICS
 

That intercooler looks nice
i gues that the best picture i've seen of it. Definitely worth the 200

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence. PICS!
 

all that work and you use a gay 14b

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence. PICS!
 

damn good prices.

I have spent about 2000 on mine so far, but thast with new motor mounts and 3" exhaust, muffler, resonator, and all new ---- except injectors, turbo, and FMIC (prolly spent only like $230 on that stuff) .

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence. PICS
 

THATS IT STEVE! I'm returning the oil line kit and going with fast-turbo lines :-p

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence. PICS
 

more progress...

wanted something black face so im giving my autometer to a friend, got this instead
http://www.centerlinemotorsports.com...ges/gauge1.jpg

finished the downpipe. paint i used said it needs to sit in the warm to cure. not sure what disease it has, but it needs a cure.
fyi- paint used is made by VHT (very high temperature) and is rated at 1300-2000*F...flat black goodness. Pics suck but I did what I could with what I got.

I'm pretty proud of this DP, it turned out really nice, even with me finishing up the welding, which I still suck at.

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car (more pics 56K maybe)

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car (more pics 56K maybe)

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car (more pics 56K maybe)

(i know its temporary)

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car (more pics 56K maybe)
 

downpipe look sgood man. where did you get the VHT paint from? I need some to paint my exhaust and downpipe with.

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car, here's some evidence.
 

Also, does anyone know of a 450cc injector seal I don't need to bore out? I don't have a dremel.
Have a drill? I masking taped sandpaper to a drill and bored my stock seals out. 8)

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car (more pics 56K maybe)
 

Looks nice!

Hey, I have a dremel and other tools that you could use if you live close to me... I live in Beaverton.

I could lend a hand if you want too, I'm always down for a turbo install!

BTW, say hello if you see me around. Here's what I'll be driving...

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car (more pics 56K maybe)

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car (more pics 56K maybe)

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car (more pics 56K maybe)
 

was just at the local baxter auto parts

what does that have to do with this post? and maybe if you read the forums once in a while...

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car (more pics 56K maybe)
 

How did your wires kill your engine? The downpipe looks very nice. Ill make a bet the DP I have a muffler shop make will be about 5.4x crappier......and cost about 30x more :o

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car (more pics 56K maybe)
 

I dont think the downpipe looks that good but thats a nice flex pipe you got ;) :P

Re: Any fuckwad with some HMT skills can turbo a car (more pics 56K maybe)
 

i was getting alot of detonation even with a conservative tune. replaced the wires after some time, cured the det. but the motor was already toast.

ps - im boosted now, sorta. see my post in FI
