wich turbo you plan on using, what type of mani, what motor?? not that many of those around

Re:Pics of Mine and rickys2000si homemadeturbo...
 

we had 2 turbos and they were broken.. now were using a WORKING subaru wrx turbo.. lol.. as for the manifold? well its pretty ghetto.. took the flange off the wrx manifold and got it welded onto the stock manifold on the mirage.. no leaks.. nicely done job.. the motor is the 12 valve motor

Re:Pics of Mine and rickys2000si homemadeturbo...
 

just as long as it works right.. keep us updated on the progress

Re:Pics of Mine and rickys2000si homemadeturbo...
 

it actually ran one time.. ricky took it for a spin and got pulled over cuz it was an open downpipe.. i wasnt there, he was running a t3/t4 and it spooled 8psi in 3rd gear.. he said it pulled really good but the car needs a clutch badly.. its an on going project.. last time we worked on it rick spent all night cleaning and re-organizing everything.. when the owner dishes the cash the car should be fine.. but it will be a hella sleeper.. i never seen a turbo one before hopefully it can pull a 14 second slip.. lol

I prefer low $$ and functional... ;)

Looks good so far. Do Mitsu's use MAF or MAP sensors? Always wondered how you would handle fuel enrichment on a MAF equiped car. I guess a rising rate would still work huh?

Keep us updated!

FMU + Inline ;D

Re:Pics of Mine and rickys2000si homemadeturbo...
 

theres a guy down in tampa that converted one to awd, and antoerh guy that converted a mirage hatch back to awd.... i have seen a few fwd turbo mirage's around town as well but very rare

Re:Pics of Mine and rickys2000si homemadeturbo...
 

Around here, everything is rice... usually Loud nasty exhaust like bee's, intake, and ceramic headers... cut springs.. windshield nozzle lights... theres a turbo mr2 with nos, some backyard sohc kids but they arent from around here but come to race on my street since its like 1/4 stretch no lights.. wide avenue but now theres a police station right on the block so they dont come around no more.. and theres a white crx at 13psi or so... in 3rd the sucker moves... very homemade.. sohc vtec.. thats about it, and on thursdays theres the usual ricer meets.. we use to have street races but that ended, thank god i never went over 500 liscence taken in 1 night.. *rickys2000si* being one of em :P

Re:Pics of Mine and rickys2000si homemadeturbo...

I am gonna be using the same turbo in pic 1 for my set up, same cartridge as probe/626 turbo, just different housings...

Re:Pics of Mine and rickys2000si homemadeturbo...
 

yep the IHI RHB5 turbo, i have a MX6 square flange on my car. i also have a subaru triangle one that i will be putting on too hopefully soon. nice turbos, they spool up quick...

Re:Pics of Mine and rickys2000si homemadeturbo...
 

alright now for the mastermind to speak.....

its a ihi turbo, subaru style
it had a t3 but spooling it with a 5900 rpm rev limit and that ---- ass motor just wasn't working. we routed the flange onto the stock mirage manifold, but ported it about 2mm all the way around for a tad of better flow.

it has a dsm side mount which is gonna give way to a starrion, vortech 8:1, honda fpr lol seriously Band M adjusted to 30psi, eclipse fwd auto turbo injectors, vortech trex inline, eclipse 2nd gen bov, 2.5 inch exhaust with dp.

auto meter guages

car is in bad need of a clutch, we tore that thing up when i got the ticket lol.

but um
hauls ass, a definate 14 second car thats reliable too. the parts were all stripped to go more efficient but the owner slacked off on funds for the holidays.

i need some new piping
intercooler fm style
and some new oil lines.
other than that
bitch starts up fine
