Please click the link below to order your kit. It may say a higher amount when you purchase, but it's not automatic on our site. We will only be billing people $2000 so we may order the custom parts (manifold, pipes, intercooler, exhaust, turbo, etc...). Once all the custom stuff is done, we will be emailing, calling or PM'ing you the remaining balance/bill. Once we receive the second and final payment, it will ship out. There is NO returns. We will return the deposit ONLY if we can not fullfill our part in getting out the kits in a timely manner.
The kit made 244whp and 255tq with the clutch slipping. We have yet to dyno it since the new clutch put it pulls much nicer now. It ran a 13.8@103 with DOT drag radials (spinning 1st and 2nd due to 30psi tire pressure). After lowering the tire pressure I snapped an axle and even though it's already fixed, the tracks are now closed up here.
The kit is a 13.5second capable setup with the base tune, clutch, and default boost level (8.7psi wastegate setting). With the addition of a boost controller, you can turn up the boost (as long as you make a tune for it) and easily get to low 13s high 12s.
Accessory break down:
*Color: Self-explanatory. Changes color of Wastegate and BOV.
*PnP Harness: Allows you to simply attatch the Emanage without cutting or splicing wires. This makes it easy to go back to stock if need be.
*Clutch upgrade: You need this!!!! The stock clutch will not last long at all with the turbo kit, we reccommend any kind of upgrade you can get.
*Exhaust system: MSRP is $940 (turbo package price is $650). It is an extremely high quality and excellent sounding exhaust made of the highest graded stainless steel. Comes with muffler, bolts, flanges and gaskets. Give your car that extra free power!
*Pressure sensor: This allows you to alter your boost levels and ALWAYS have the right fuel and ignition maps for it. Your emanage will then be tuned by boost, rather than TPS. It's makes for the most reliable power. (Additional Dyno tuning is neccessary as for the base map is throttle position based).

hawgs74 11-01-2005, 11:20 PM Congratulations -- from the sound of it this kit is dope -- and if it works they way you say it does it will be well worth the price. Now all is need is an extra 5k. Anyone know how much they pay to sperm donors?
Joe_Dezod 11-01-2005, 11:22 PM I heard from some standup comedian act you get like 25 bucks lol... Nothing compared to what a woman gets for her eggs I guess...
Better luck with something else. :)
mattssi 11-01-2005, 11:39 PM placing order now...
Joe_Dezod 11-01-2005, 11:44 PM Thank you matt! I know you've been more axnious than most, and I was expecting you to be one of the first.
BTW- You got bumped to 7 instead of 8 now!
mattssi 11-01-2005, 11:48 PM One question - can I buy the accessories at a later time seperately? (when the kit is ready) I want to pay from different sources.
Joe_Dezod 11-01-2005, 11:56 PM As long as everything is going to the same address and things all match up to your existing order it's not a problem. Thanks man.
mattssi 11-02-2005, 12:05 AM Ok, cool. Order #1603 _____es! ;)
Azure_Pearl_tc 11-02-2005, 02:18 AM Dang! Great price for all that is included. I'm building mine and it's getting close to that price....but I am having to do all the work. If I didn't have all these parts that I have already purchased, I would have ordered your kit! Congrats on the completion!
Joe_Dezod 11-02-2005, 02:23 AM Thanks man. You know we have your back regardless. I still have your number on my cell haha...
jmiller20874 11-02-2005, 01:13 PM Hey Joe,
What is the second pipe that looks like it's coming out of the muffler and bending backwards?
http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/8/web/704000-704999/704420_215_full.jpg
i was wondering the same thing.
jmiller20874 11-02-2005, 03:38 PM Maybe he's planning a dual exhaust. That would be sweet.
Jowie 11-02-2005, 03:39 PM :money::money::money:
I only have 3.5k saved up! And with the holidays coming up, I need to buy gifts with some of that. Guess I'll have to wait till after I get my tax return early next year before I get boosted! :cry:
BuddasTC 11-02-2005, 03:49 PM PURCHASED!
mattssi 11-02-2005, 05:39 PM I doubt its for dual exhaust. I've seen other exhausts like that. Can't remember what its for.... I think its either sound or performance or even both.
davedavetC 11-02-2005, 06:07 PM ok i made up my mind lol. im gonna rob a bank who wants to join me haha :rofl: i wont be able to get boosted for a loong time and when i do i hope you guys are still around so i can support you guys and get this kit. looks great! :clap:
Fushyuguru 11-02-2005, 11:59 PM *watching*
Glad to see sales start, I'll be looking to buy boost once i hit 6k - miles.
At 1k in 3 weeks, so it shouldnt be long now.
mattssi 11-03-2005, 01:48 AM Joe - not sure if you received my email... Are you waiting for the 10 orders to come in before starting, or are you taking the orders as they come right now?
Joe_Dezod 11-03-2005, 03:16 PM We actually started ordering parts already. Even before the pre-order. We're not wasting time.
mattssi 11-03-2005, 03:28 PM You, Joe, are the man sir.
Joe_Dezod 11-03-2005, 03:51 PM Yeah sorry it took so long to repsond.
The pipe that's there is to keep the muffler stock and streetable... You can have it cut open to rout it to the other side of the bumper without making any change to performance. It's just the muffler that happened to work with our design.
wOoOzZy 11-04-2005, 12:03 AM I just got power back from the hurricane. The kid sounds as awesome as I expected. I might start doing pressure cleaning jobs with a friend to earn extra cash. Hope that goes well.
Joe_Dezod 11-04-2005, 04:03 AM We hope that goes well for you too. I was down there last week Woooozzy, had no power either. I flew out at PBI last Sat. Glad you have power back and best of luck on recovery!
wow, i wish i saved 4Gs =[
-taek
paul_dezod 11-07-2005, 01:37 AM BUmp fellas........email sent to all customers.
mattssi 11-07-2005, 04:28 PM Is there any type of warranty for the manifold, etc?
P.S. Hurry up w/ the stage 2 ;)
paul_dezod 11-07-2005, 06:55 PM Is there any type of warranty for the manifold, etc?
P.S. Hurry up w/ the stage 2 ;)
Guaranteed not to crack for 1 year. If it does, we will attempt to repair it, if we can not you get a new one. You just need to cover shipping.
Joe_Dezod 11-08-2005, 12:59 AM And at that point you'll want the Stage 2 anyway :).
jwaggz82 11-08-2005, 03:49 AM The stock internals are ok with the stage1? I know this has been talked out about in many oth\er posts but many people have said different things. Also, what do you need to check on with a turbo? From what i hear.... you need to keep things on the upANDup ....its not like a stock engine at all.
Joe_Dezod 11-08-2005, 04:07 AM Change the oil every 3k. We use Mobile 1. We're running stock plugs on stock internals and the car runs great, at 8.7 psi.
mattssi 11-08-2005, 05:57 AM No kill stories in all this time? Someone has to be having some fum driving that thing
paul_dezod 11-08-2005, 01:19 PM Joe.........cmon. Tell us a kill story to 2.
Joe_Dezod 11-08-2005, 01:32 PM Here's a couple...
05 Civic Si - destroyed (felt like he wasn't racing)
05 RSX-S - by 2nd gear it was pretty much over
WRX - Even in the beginning, but I pulled pretty hard once I hit 3rd gear
All I can think of for now. There is of course the typical ricer cars that are really slow to begin with, that isn't worth bragging about lol... But I mean I have a pretty good record so far.
DTRUONG_112 11-08-2005, 03:25 PM so how long would it take to recieve the kit once purchased? And the axle incident, would that happen to my tC or any turbocharged tC?

The potential to break your axles with a brand new unbroken in clutch and drag radials is there with ANY kit making decent power.
Turn around time is 2-4 weeks right now (guessing). We are waiting on some materials as of now.
davedavetC 11-08-2005, 04:02 PM i wish i had the money go go out and buy a turbo kit.
paul_dezod 11-08-2005, 04:14 PM i wish i had the money go go out and buy a turbo kit.
We do sell a lot of the individual pieces so that you can piece it together over time.

Without a question. Joe has been testing this system DD it for 2-3 weeks at about 50 miles/day and she has been stellar. Note, do not use BFG drag radials, an unbroken in clutch and launch at 3K off a stop sign or red light and you'll be fine. :rofl:
Joe_Dezod 11-08-2005, 06:11 PM Yeah I drove about 65-70 miles today alone so far and it ran pretty well. We're still perfecting the kit as we pull together some kits to get ready for shipment.
mattssi 11-08-2005, 06:15 PM One week down for me!! Ooh I can feel it.
paul_dezod 11-08-2005, 06:56 PM One week down for me!! Ooh I can feel it.
Start counting when we pull your $2K, which will be when we receive your signed form back to us. :P
I just ordered your BOV & WG yesterday from TiAL.
mattssi 11-08-2005, 07:15 PM You bastard. 2k has already been removed from my CC. You should have the signed form today or tomorrow. Good ol priority mail!
mattssi 11-08-2005, 07:17 PM Yay! Black WG and BOV. Tasty
paul_dezod 11-08-2005, 07:28 PM You bastard. 2k has already been removed from my CC. You should have the signed form today or tomorrow. Good ol priority mail!
Honestly we did not. We authorized your card. This jusy claims the $$ for us, but we did not take it yet. It kinda puts the $$ at a will call for us. :relief:
paul_dezod 11-08-2005, 07:29 PM Yay! Black WG and BOV. Tasty
Yes VERY nice choice. :love:
shuttlegoosecock 11-09-2005, 12:31 AM how does the act clutch feel. Does it have harsh engagement, cuz i will probably get whichever one you guys offer.
And, does your intercooler allow the front bumber support beam to stay intact?

stop lol! :silly: :silly: tooo tempting. but i honestly dont have the money and i wont for a while. well see come tax time and end of next summer. and ill see how much money i have (althought i might go another route (SC) but i really would like a turbo idk lol i need to stop thinking about my car i have more important things to worry about.... like paying for it haha) i admire your work though

The street one is fine. **waiting for Joe to chime in**
Yes it allows the beam to stay intact.
Joe_Dezod 11-09-2005, 04:35 AM Street clutch engagement is pretty agressive but it's definately streetable. Resurface your flywheel if you to rid yourself of any chance of chatter. Other than that, besides the stiffer pedal, it's damn easy to drive on the street. Holding capacity is great too.
Support beam is not modified in any way.

Thanks Joe! :bow:
xavier 11-09-2005, 05:23 PM Now lets start on some 02-03 solara specific piping so we can make the kit work for me too :) Just kidding...kinda. Take your time to perfect everything and then hit me up. Im going to be paying off some bills in the meantime
paul_dezod 11-09-2005, 09:00 PM Will do!
paul_dezod 11-11-2005, 03:16 PM Bump!
shuttlegoosecock 11-11-2005, 05:22 PM any price yet on the install?? i pmed joe a few days ago but no response yet... just wondering. thanks
paul_dezod 11-11-2005, 06:06 PM PM sent. Sorry about Joe. He has been very busy.
Joe_Dezod 11-11-2005, 06:42 PM Yeah guys sorry about being in hibernation. I had a freak accident last night with the car lol but it's all good now. It was nothing turbo related so do not worry!
I spoke with Paul about the install and stuff so we can definately work something out.
Joe_Dezod 11-13-2005, 07:12 AM TTT.
About 10 manifolds should be done in a week or 2.
BlkSandPrlTurbotC 11-13-2005, 09:20 AM dooo be doooo be doooooo
getting so close to the $5k mark :)
I can taste the boost now!
paul_dezod 11-13-2005, 06:56 PM Let us know when your ready!
GODLESS 11-14-2005, 12:30 AM So the Dezod kit is about the same price as the turbonetic kit, plus it uses a turbonetic turbo.
I'm in the market for a turbo kit, so what is it about the dezod kit that would be a better choice then the turbonetic kit?? convince me with some detail?
The more i read about the Unichip that turbonetic is using the more i'm liking it.

sounds like a good question. lets hear a good answer.
kungpaosamuraiii 11-14-2005, 04:29 AM The FMIC coming with the Turbonetics kit isn't a custom fitted FMIC build specifically for the tC's front bumper.
The turbo manifold on the Dezod kit appears to be a better design.
Also, the actual turbo, while a turbonetics turbo, is specially sized for the tC to maximize performance.
Turbonetics' website estimates 270 hp; whether or not that is whp or bhp I don't know but on the same dyno, Dezod's kit would have shown 285~ whp with retarded ignition and possibly close to 300 with proper ignition.
Turbonetics no doubt did a lot of research to put their turbo out. We'll see what the difference is when the Turbonetics comes out.
Joe_Dezod 11-14-2005, 05:27 AM One would buy our kits because of the endless testing we do to make sure the kit performs the way it should. Another would be for the extremely rapid and excellent customer service we offer. You can also customize your color scheme with us, and get a FULL exhausts system that compliments the kit, as well as the clutch from us, and a PnP harness to ease your installation. We sell everything else including gauges to accomodate all your needs.
All in all, we're a one stop shop that can give you everything you need.
kungpaosamuraiii 11-14-2005, 06:22 AM And then some.
mattssi 11-14-2005, 01:50 PM I would be willing to bet there will be no upgrade path from the Greddy one unless you go custom. I believe dezod will be making a stage 2, etc that will be tested over and over as was this kit.
This is one of my biggest reasons - since I want a tuner I can go to for help, suggestions, and upgrades - not just buy a kit and that's it.

mattssi 11-18-2005, 02:02 PM Ooh, didn't realize the S pipe was part of it. Nice. I can't wait! Thanks for the update, sir.
How's the pre-tune going to work for this awesome 30 degree weather? Need a boost controler and re-tune anyway :)
Joe_Dezod 11-19-2005, 02:06 AM I've been driving my car as low as about 28-30 with WOT and constant abuse and everything's been fine so far. No adjustments to the map.

Joe_Dezod 11-20-2005, 02:29 AM We do what we can.
More tweaking scheduled on monday for some final adjustments and testing.

We decided to pull a little twist to the kit. Running it without a cat. Joe will give full updates on it tomorrow. He is at a concert now. :lalala:

There is very little I remember from my 2 years of Japanese. Our teacher wasn't Japanese and could barely speak it himself - so this is what it means (at least to me :))
My name is Matt
I am going to blow up your house
Of course, I don't mean that, but its the first thing I remembered.
I can't wait to hear the update! Probably a couple HP gains from that too, eh.

Did you want a cat if YOU had a choice?
mattssi 11-23-2005, 03:14 AM I guess it depends on the performance gain. I really don't want a crazy loud sound either. I had a high flow cat on the IS300 and it served me well.
Whatever you guys go w/ would be fine by me.
On another note - will the car throw a CEL at all, or no (with the kit)
mattssi 11-23-2005, 03:36 AM I'm so damn axious - I have that teaser pic on my background

I got to see DJ Tiesto (worlds best dj for 5 yrs now) live at Club Avalon in Boston. It was amazing, went form 8:30 to abotu 4 in the morning.
We've been running the car without a cat now and highway driving for extended amounts of times has improved and temps have gone down. We'll most likely be shipping out all kits without cats because it made a noticable difference in driveability, nevermind the power gain.
mattssi 11-25-2005, 01:35 AM ha, sounds good to me!
Fushyuguru 11-25-2005, 02:44 AM Tiesto is sick.
mattssi 11-25-2005, 03:12 AM Any possible price difference w/out a cat?
paul_dezod 11-25-2005, 01:35 PM Any possible price difference w/out a cat?
At this point, we have not determined that.
BlkSandPrlTurbotC 11-25-2005, 04:52 PM removing of the cat, or hallow outting of the cat will make a noticeable difference in performance...not a lot, but it will.
my friend dyno'd his srt-4, after hallowing out the cat and he gained 8whp, its not a lot, but more whp is always better
so either way, i'll take this kit w/ or w/o one, b/c i'll probably end up hallowing it out :)
keep up the GREAT work Dezod!

Yes sir.
Manifolds are done & ready
E-Manages and PnP are done and ready
WGs and BOVS are done and ready
Waiting for Turbonetics to assemble our turbos and ship them.....
Intercoolers are here, just need to weld end tanks and such
Vac lines, clamps, couplers, vac t's, oil line kits are all done and ready to roll
Just have to get the materials and make the down pipe and charge piping.

paul_dezod 11-28-2005, 01:35 PM LOL.....no need to be. Just give it time
mattssi 11-28-2005, 01:49 PM Whats the hold on the piping materials? Damn pipe people
BlkSandPrlTurbotC 11-28-2005, 03:55 PM you dont understand, i'm willing to do anything and everything right now to get this turbo. :(
paul_dezod 11-28-2005, 11:24 PM Whats the hold on the piping materials? Damn pipe people
Good prices on stainless are hard to come by. :nails:
So....sometimes we have to wait a little bit for them. Good news is that I think we should have enough of the thin walled stuff to do the 2 charge piping kits. Still need the standard stuff for the downpipes. :lalala:
paul_dezod 11-30-2005, 05:57 PM FYI-those interested in ordering our kit, there are additional savings on it being ordered online. Limited time.

charge it piece by piece??
i wonder if i can get approved for another "school" loan :P

Let me know how that works out. I will help ya any way I can.
rlazer5000 12-02-2005, 03:20 PM Hey Paul or Joe,
I was just wondering how the idle is on the car with the VTA BOV? I'm not sure if this was already answered or not, but I was just curious.
And just to add that your turbo kit looks amazing and I'm slowly but surely paying off bills in order to order this kit. Can't wait to see some feedback from everyone who's ordered it! Keep up the awesome work guys!

Thanks for the positive comments. Everything with the BOV is fine. Joe will comment on it further.
BlkSandPrlTurbotC 12-02-2005, 05:46 PM How can he, when I stole his BOV?
mattssi 12-02-2005, 06:07 PM Turbonetics ship those mother f'ers yet. How man times do I have to tell them!
BlkSandPrlTurbotC 12-02-2005, 06:15 PM here's a good way.......
tell them GReddy is better :P :rofl:
kungpaosamuraiii 12-03-2005, 12:01 AM You know, seeing the D17 equal length manifold begs the question, why does the tC's kit not have one as well?
paul_dezod 12-03-2005, 12:35 AM Turbonetics ship those mother f'ers yet. How man times do I have to tell them!
We received one. The other is in transit again......
paul_dezod 12-03-2005, 12:37 AM You know, seeing the D17 equal length manifold begs the question, why does the tC's kit not have one as well?
Because our D17 kit has been out a lot longer and every kit has to start out somwhere. Our D17 started out as long until a few months ago. Give it time. This car will get one.
mattssi 12-03-2005, 12:47 AM At least you got one! They haven't forgot about cha
UPS "In Transit" I love it!
Pretty soon, I think UPS is going to be GPS'ed based for real time tracking. Now THAT is sweet.

BuddasTC 12-03-2005, 03:39 PM so who gets the first completed kit.
mattssi 12-03-2005, 03:44 PM I think they are still waiting on piping! Damn, I'll take some PVC for now ;)

I may have come across sounding critical and I apologize - but that ^^ is exactly what I wanted to hear. :bow:
Do you have a charted increase for the EL manifold? I imagine that if you get a small increase in the D17 kit at 8 psi we should see a significantly larger increase on the 2AZ at 8.7 psi. It may even be a proportional gain relative to displacement when looking at the EX.
And being able to retain the AC - very nice indeed.
Prithee, tell more of this tubular manifold.

The manifold is being dyno'd next week on a D17 that currently runs 13 PSI on T3/T04E. He put down 247whp to start on a log. Let's see where we go from there.
paul_dezod 12-05-2005, 02:40 PM bump@!!!!!!
Joe_Dezod 12-06-2005, 02:31 AM Sorry it took so long to respond about the VTA bov guys.
We've had almost 0 differences from stock with the BOV under idle. Very rarely will it dip a little lower, but it's minimal, and nothing that causes the engine to stall. If you have the music up at all, you won't even notice.
It does obviously run slightly rich between shifts which is fine because it's minor and doesn't cause the car to run like crap. It's driveable, just don't floor it through a long gear then push the clutch in and let the rpms fall. Leave it in gear and it's perfect, which is what you're supposed to do anyway.
mattssi 12-06-2005, 02:37 AM Any other updates? Turbos? pipes! WOO HOO!

paul_dezod 12-06-2005, 01:21 PM The turbo tC will give the STi a run for it's money. Technically we will beat it, but traction seems to be an issue with it.

Update on the kits:
Some stainless is coming in a day or 2, which should get us started on the charge piping. Still waiting to hear back on the thick walled stuff for the downpipes.
mattssi 12-07-2005, 03:20 AM Its lookin like after Christmas for me. Christmas gifts have taken over priority :(
I still can be the first turbo tc in MI (maybe)!!

so uhh where are you located? I'll be happy to drive te STi to your place for 'Dezod' Parts :wink:
Joe_Dezod 12-08-2005, 04:22 PM Might I add those are 18x8s!!! The tires are pretty damn wide but the torque doesn't seem to care. Part of 3rd ripped a little on that shift too. Feels much better in the seat than what it looks like on the video lol.
BlkSandPrlTurbotC 12-08-2005, 04:44 PM oh...im sure it does. lol
Joe_Dezod 12-08-2005, 04:47 PM Just as a heads up... I'll hopefully by tomorrow have this site with most of the small teaser vids uploaded onto it. Should make a good main spot to go to to see all the Dezod vids.

paul_dezod 12-08-2005, 04:55 PM BTW, we are looking into offering custom bar and plate intercoolers with future kits, but we will know for sure in a month or so.
paul_dezod 12-08-2005, 08:31 PM Intercooler piping material arrived today. We should have all of these kits charge piping done by Tuesday at latest next week.
BlkSandPrlTurbotC 12-09-2005, 02:52 AM how about for an STi Paul? feel like working on one?

BlkSandPrlTurbotC 12-11-2005, 06:58 PM Good things come to those who wait Mattssi :)
Your car is gonna be uber sexy with this turbo... just b/c you have red!
mattssi 12-11-2005, 07:00 PM Red is fast! I used to think it was yellow hehe
I may as well put another question out there...
Joe/Paul - have you played or discussed timing adjustments with this with the addition of the boost sensor and boost increase?
paul_dezod 12-11-2005, 10:17 PM Red is fast! I used to think it was yellow hehe
I may as well put another question out there...
Joe/Paul - have you played or discussed timing adjustments with this with the addition of the boost sensor and boost increase?
Yes. Joe is dabling with advancing some timing in some spots with the PS. We hope to have some dybno work done on Friday. We will keep you guys posted.
kungpaosamuraiii 12-12-2005, 03:00 AM Anyword on the EL D17 manifold?
Joe_Dezod 12-12-2005, 03:54 AM Yes i've been playing with the ignition timing with hopes of keeping EGTs lower on the highway. I've also been pulling some timing for boost levels beyond what we ship the kits at so blowing a motor is a little hard to pull off lol.
More info towards the end of this week.
mattssi 12-12-2005, 04:10 AM Good to hear. The reason I ask is because all of the othe rposts I've been reading about boosting above 8-9 psi without any timing adjustments causing piston failures, etc. I want to be able to run the car at a decent boost level (11 maybe?) without causing damage in the short term.
I'm looking forward to your results!
Joe_Dezod 12-12-2005, 04:13 AM Well we pull timing even on the 8psi. If I advanced it 3 degrees I'd be able to make some good power, but not reliably. We were gaining 10whp for every degree of timing closer to 0. We stopped at 3 to keeps things safe, especially for those who can only run 91 instead of our 93. I still haven't experienced any knock since the tune.
paul_dezod 12-12-2005, 03:16 PM Charge piping is all done and wrapped ready to go. Still need to weld the end tanks on the intercooler and STILL waiting on materials for the downpipes.
mattssi 12-12-2005, 03:18 PM Awesome news, aside from the downpipe metal. That fn blows.
I thought that you ddin't get the ignition harness if you didnt' order the pnp adapter, which led me to believe that there would be no timing change since you wouldn't have 2 diffeernt tunes based on if the person got the harness or not.
Anyway, Im glad.
paul_dezod 12-12-2005, 03:36 PM Intercooler end tanks will be done in a few hours too

If you do not order the PnP, you get both the harnesses, but you have to wire and pin them in. THAT is a PITA. The PnP is the way to go!
We will have one of the intercoolers ready in about an hour.
BlkSandPrlTurbotC 12-12-2005, 05:09 PM Something tells me I'm not going to have a Plug N Play harness on my car.....
:evil:
paul_dezod 12-12-2005, 05:22 PM Anyword on the EL D17 manifold?
That manifold is being dyno'd possibly today, but the gentleman may have to wait until later this week if not.
Sorry, I did not even see this post.

Why not?
BlkSandPrlTurbotC 12-12-2005, 05:39 PM as long as if me you, and turbocustomz can get this puppy purring, ill be happy :)
i wanna take down joe :wink:

What do you mean? (confused)
BlkSandPrlTurbotC 12-12-2005, 05:57 PM is it possible to make a PnP for the STi? What if we went stand alone? So I could be like Paul Walker and have a laptop in the passenger seat? HAHA :rofl:
Relay the message Paul.... I want Joe :) (not that kind of way :ttth: )

We can get you into a standalone or a PnP with a piggy back. Either way.
mattssi 12-12-2005, 06:35 PM Good news, credit card just called and they are working to get the charge from ZPI off my card here today!!!!
paul_dezod 12-12-2005, 06:38 PM Good news, credit card just called and they are working to get the charge from ZPI off my card here today!!!!
Cool. BTW, your kit is done and so are the other back orders (except the downpipes). :loser:

paul_dezod 12-12-2005, 07:20 PM Yes it is.
paul_dezod 12-12-2005, 07:43 PM Just received word the downpipe materials will be here later in the week.
kungpaosamuraiii 12-12-2005, 10:16 PM Well, Joe's tC should be doing around 300 bhp if not more. Surely, BlkSandPrlTurbotC will have the launch (AWD vs the tC's FWD spin-happy engine) but after that, the tC's shorter gearing (by "after that" I mean after the tC grabs traction) and reduced drive train loss will allow the tC to close some distance.
It should be a good race.
Anyways, Paul, I don't mind waiting the extra week if the dyno gets pushed back. Just please do post it when you get it, I'm very curious about it!
Well, can you answer this? What makes your design superior to the butterfly design? AC retention is more than a good enough reason for me to go with this design but power wise, is your design better than the more common designs?
This has nothing to do with power, but is there a reason why you're going with a cut and weld manifold? Is it impossible to do a mandrel bent tubular manifold?
Please forgive my constant questions, but are you guys already designing the tC's manifold?

No not yet.
With respec to our EL for the D17, no one offers a manifold at all for it. With respect to the design of it, ours was deisgned for higher boost apps on the D17. It is premised off of an EVO8 manifold design but taper and catered to the D17. We attempted first off with a butterfly design, but space restrictions and such made it difficult. This design was far easier to tuck the runners in an equal length fashion into our manifold. We decided to defy the norm and see what our design can do.
Joe_Dezod 12-13-2005, 02:07 AM This manifold for the D17 is the motivation for my buddy to finish his 2002 EX.
We've installed a T3/T04B 60 trim, big intercooler, Vortec intake manifold, Acura injectors (for new) new clutch, fully built motor now done, the AEM stand-alone (soon to be bought from us for him), and a full crower top-end. I guess it's a good way to see if the manifold holds up. We plan on putting the tC against a fully built honda SOHC this spring and seeing what happens. Should be some fun.
Back off to the garage for more tweaking and logging. Back tonight.

How about a fully built STi in the autumn/winter? :wink:
paul_dezod 12-13-2005, 03:10 AM I will be camera man in the cock pit for that race.
BlkSandPrlTurbotC 12-13-2005, 03:18 AM Joe isn't juiced is he?
Joe_Dezod 12-13-2005, 03:25 AM Nope. Straight boost via turbo. No baby bottles.
paul_dezod 12-13-2005, 03:29 AM Joe isn't juiced is he?
He is blown by Turbonetics. No bottle babies here.
BlkSandPrlTurbotC 12-13-2005, 03:33 AM Joe isn't juiced is he?

You guys are great :)

:P Joe call the cell to talk about that EBC or MBC
BlkSandPrlTurbotC 12-13-2005, 03:44 AM Paul call the cell to talk about that project or relocation
:P
Joe_Dezod 12-13-2005, 04:04 AM blksandprlturbotC get back to aim so u can keep chattin with us.
Yeah, myspace is the jiggy. Should we make a myspace group for us tC peeps?
BlkSandPrlTurbotC 12-13-2005, 04:08 AM i am on aim joe...i dont think paul is though??
myspace is a drug...a very bad drug at that.
paul_dezod 12-13-2005, 04:13 AM I am on AIM while watching my beloved Saints lose to ATL.
