hotbox05 02-20-2005, 05:13 AM MUST BE NICE. what kit are you running? the JDM GReddy?
XBman 02-20-2005, 05:29 AM more pix of that turbo i hope :) nice gagues i must add
quadoptix 02-20-2005, 05:33 AM from the look of the piping its custom...the greddy piping runs in parallel...good job man =) also, i see u have motoforges too lol =P
thanks guys.
It is a prototype greddy kit made for the xB not the bB.
I'll try and take better pics of the turbo when i get a chance :)
qaudoptix your thinking of the pictures floating around the net of the NON-intercooled version of the greddy kit, if you look closely at my pictures you see the greddy stickers that labels where the pipes go.
Munch 02-20-2005, 01:54 PM Wow I feel sorry for people riding anywhere around you with all the glare coming from your headlights :no: . Nice little turbo setup though. Hope to see you dyno results soon.
TJandBOXCARWILLIE 02-20-2005, 01:59 PM And people think my lights are bright when I run with the fogs on! You blind folks with yours!
Max2k 02-20-2005, 02:24 PM To be fair, it's extemely difficult to take an accurate photograph of how bright a pair of headlights are. He's probably not blinding people any more than that street light is.
Rad job on the turbo.

I disagree. Look at his last picture and how the light goes right into the car he's behind. Check out the pictures in my sig. My lights have no glare at all, and the cutoff is right at the bumper line of the car in front of me when I drive.
Max2k 02-20-2005, 03:41 PM How nice for you.
LavaBox_v1 02-20-2005, 03:55 PM More pics of the turbo and intercooler! Lets see some detailed pics!
JdMBboFSD 02-20-2005, 04:06 PM More pics of the turbo and intercooler! Lets see some detailed pics!
Totally agree with ya...
Munch 02-20-2005, 04:28 PM How nice for you.
Just stating the facts. If you're gonna do it , do it right. :lalala:
Big_hungry 02-20-2005, 04:56 PM looking noce. I agree lets see a few more detailed pics. I know a few people looking into doing a setup like this. So give details of the setup to please.

What are you, the light nazi?
Big_hungry 02-20-2005, 05:14 PM oh yea what type of gauges are those? I like thoes.

Nope that would be the other guys.
Besk_one 02-20-2005, 05:25 PM ugggg, you people and you're "who cares if i'm blinding oncoming traffic with my lights" attitude...
serriously it's a freking HAZARD, and the reason that here in california it's illegal to install aftermarket HID kit's on your car - is because of poor quallity kits, and people that don't take the time to retrofit their installs with the proper glare guards/sheilds to acheive a proper cutoff
HID's that don't cuttoff properly are dangerous to others on the road - it's not even a "my kit is better than yours" kinda thing, it's more like "my kit wont blind oncoming traffic, and possibly cause an accident, yours will..."
we need hahajoey to get in on the thread jack here :) he'd set it stright, he's the HID guy..

Very well said :bow:
Buzzkill 02-20-2005, 06:01 PM Let's not jump the conclusion about his lights. It could very well be that the camera's apperature is opened wider to let more lighting in for greater film exposure so that the car can be captured at night. This compensation can make the light appear much brighter than it actually is. Look at the intensity of the street light -- it's just as immensely bright.
Nice turbo box; very slick gauge instrument mount.
Matts_xB 02-20-2005, 06:08 PM What lights are those or are they just different bulbs? If so which bulbs?
Matt
erichlf 02-20-2005, 09:21 PM I doubt it is his headlights. If you look at the pic you will see the street light that bright too. How many times have you seem super bright street lights?
scion1616 02-20-2005, 09:29 PM is this a topic on headlights or the turbo kit. i could of sworn it said turbo pics. :loser:

That looks exactly how mine came from the factory. My headlights are aimed so
that up close or several car lengths ahead, my lights will cut off right near the top
of the trunk.
I wish other people on the road would aim their friggen head lights as well...I have
very light sensitive eyes, and somehow I always get the one retard behind me who
installed his one replacement headlight himself, and seems to think forward pointing
towards the trees above is close enough!
I'd really like to see more photos of that Turbo kit, and especially the dyno results!!
I can't see myself doing it for the box though, I'm too used to RWD with power for
me to want FWD with that much power....of course, I'm sure I could deal with it! :love:

He doesn't even list an HID kit in his mod list, and that's one of those things that people tend to be rather proud of. Chances are that the digital camera made his light a lot greener than it actually is.
Did nobody else notice the fact that this is one of less than 10 scions with a turbo? Jeez.
Fujiz_xb 02-20-2005, 11:23 PM loving it
MyBoX 02-20-2005, 11:36 PM Here a comparison of glare,
From Left to right, H4 xenon blub, H4 regular bulb, Factory bB HID package !! Sean
http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/5/web/689000-689999/689750_169_full.jpg
ok to answer some questions yes they are HID's. And as some of you can see it is aimed as far down as possible. The pics have alot of glare because i over exposed the shots for that "cool" night-time pic.
As for the turbo kit it gives it a lil more pep but still slow, i went for it more for show than go cuz it still can barely get outta it's own way, besides i have another car to go fast.
More detailed pics of the turbo along with dyno runs sometime this week (i hope).

ugly_duck 02-21-2005, 05:34 PM I agree more turbo pics, thanks for sharing. I will not be the light gestapo.
