Finally Done With Project (56k beware)
 
Ok well this is my second kit... learned from the first one as to what not to do wrong... and ill say it came out good... only running 5psi right now, untill the injectors get slapped on later tonight.. then I can really have some fun... over all it wasnt that difficult... very time consuming, and you have to turn into Mcguyver to figure some ---- out..

Heres a part list:
D16-T3 Manifold
Air Research T3 (.42/.48)
2.5in Flared Downpipe
2.5in Charge Pipes
Custom Coach Intercooler
1st Gen DSM BOV
VAFC
450cc. DSM's
Autometer Ultra_Lite Boost Gauge & A/F Gauge
Oil Lines and misc Bolts nuts and ----.

Ended up spending about 1300 on this.

heres some pics, sorry about the shitty quality of my cam... it really sucks.. its a webcam so its resolution is limited.

Wow!! Thats a nice setup. I like it. Let us know how it runs on higher boost after the injectors. I don't mean to sound like an idiot, but what is that on your hood? And I don't see any filter on the compressor housing :o. Watch out for those rocks.

That lump... is a functional hood scoop...when i was running it N/A the intake filter sat right under there.. so it would suck up all that nice cold air....

It doesnt have a filter right now cause its a tight squeeze and i need to reroute my clutch line so a pipe can fit between the tranny and the radiator fan.

You can leave it like that, but I would clamp a piece of window screen or something over the compressor housing just in case.

Nice setup. But it would LOOK a lot better if you changed that hood scoop to a little more low-profile one. It just looks waay out of place sitting there. It reminds me of the scoops on older Indy cars that sat above the drivers head, kinda like a snorkel. But the turbo project is nice. Deserves a write up.

im gonna snag me some surgical cloth from school today(beeing how thats what intake filters use)... and sandwich it between 2 peices of wire mesh in order to create a makeshift filter element thingy then clamp that down and hope it works...
