Just now got around to posting pics....been boosted for a lil over a month now. Runnin a t3/t4 turbo, rev hard cast manifold, pushin 8 psi with 550cc injectors and one step colder plugs... Not sure of numbers as of yet waitin to put it on the dyno. Overall a pretty simple install, ordered a universal intercooler pipe kit and cut it to fit....fitment was actually great, no clearance issues...Install took around 20 hours give or take and tuning...well thats just another story. Running an emanage ultimate tuning off of airflow hot wire now but i got my gm 2 bar just havent had time to run it yet. Gonna try to blow thru MAF setup hopefully within the week...ill let you know how that works.
Questions and comments welcome

Bye Bye N/A







My mechanic ben insisted on using this hammer for something


Stayin up late the first night

 

looks good so far what kind of downpipe are you using, or is it custom made?

 

To be honest I can't remember. I think it was a Dezod knock off. Might as well been custom though cause we had clearance issues with the AC line and thermostat housing. Had to bend the ac line and grind down the lip on the housing. I raced a celica with a 3sgte in it Friday night. Went from a 30 roll, jumped him by half a car and kept it. They all said he's puttin down 270 but he had some vac leaks and I think his wastegate wasn't opening all the way. Ice had some stis try me....it was funny cause cause they didn't know what to think when they were gettin pulled on by a tc.

 

Looks pretty decent, looks better than my first setup... Get it on the dyno...

 

cool man battery in the trunk? which fans?

 

Yes battery is in the back. Didn't feel like payin 125 bucks for a piece
of bent pipe

 

20 hours sounds about right for an amateur install. Mine started Friday morning and ended Sunday night .

How many trips did you take to the hardware store?

 

LOL...at first pic. Welcome to the darkside man. Keep us posted.

 

looking good so far

 

very nice, take more pics please

 

nice, DIY ftw! for the first time you dont want to really go fast on it, you wanna take time, relax have fun.. and some rest after cursing lol

 

what ace said....hahaha

 

It was really easy. Made one trip to the store Friday night to get fittings and oil and what not. We had most of the parts here already. I think all I had to get from the store was oil feed connectors and oil drain line.

 

lol custom ftw!

i love how all custom turbo setups coming aroudn these days use the treadstone castiron mani

sucha cheap reliable manifold

 

yes it is....and it looks descent to haha....i spent around 2000 on my setup...that includes fuel and management

 

looks similar to the setup i had cept i wasnt using an intercooler

 

Lol custom setups price varies so much I spend up to 5 grand on my setup with a free turbo.. This includes ems and tuning ...and it's still not running 100%...whateva it's all fun

 

haha i spent 1800 without tuning and i was 100 percent car ran perfect and that 1800 includes two turbos the first one blew

it all varies based on what u do i made all my piping so saved me money

 

2 days carb? wow.

kit looks good welcome to the club
