Everyone else is, y not.....Almost there (boost)
Here is my setup, I have invested more than I plan but i think its well worth it so far. We'll see once its actually boosted.
FYI, not all my parts are here, my RC550's, clips and resistor will be here monday, my oil press and temp gauge should be here tomorrow, so all i really need to order are misc gaskets, catch can and other little things.
Clutch is a Act sprung 6 puck, AF is still ordering that for me.
Last time i added it up I was at about $2788...not including the clutch, gauges or parts i still need....ill be about 3400 after tune. Thats more than I wamted to spend but oh well.
Parts i have so far (even though some are not pictured)
3'' Vibrant exhaust
3'' stainless DP
Short tubular manifold
2.5'' cold 2.25" hot IC piping ( still need to fab up)
FMIC
Greddy type-s bov
Tial 38mm with 7psi spring i think
Golden eagle vacuum manifold
Garrett t3/to4e 57 trim .63ar
stealthmode oil lines and T
Autometer sport comp boost gauge, oil press and temp
RC 550 with clips and resistor
255lph walbro fuel pump
I would be installing it all as soon as my clutch comes in except wedbesday night I had a little "incident" which resulted in me dislocating my left shoulder. I had to go to the ER to get it set back in, then a dr today. Monday I have a MRI, which will show if I need surgery to fix it and how bad everything is torn up.
This really sucks as i now cant work (work at a garage, cant do shit with one arm), and college starts the 19th of august. So hopefully i dont need surgery and can get this shit installed and on the dyno before august.
So how does my setup look thus far?

-So let's talk about an important aspect. What EMS are you tuning the car with? Did you purchase that turbo directly from Garrett? Damn you spent a load of cash, looks like a well pieced together kit, nice job. When I do my setup it's going to be super ghetto. I'm going to be cheap and build an unreliable car. Now how often have you heard someone say that? I'm starting with a DIY ghetto manifold that I'm going to have to get welded. It's a mild steel manifold so it's probably going to corrode and drop into the turbine, but who cares because the turbo is going to be a rebuild. It seems I have spent to much time on Homadeturbo.com :drunk:

no i my RC's are saturated, so i guess i dont need the resistor.
For engine managment for now J-K tuning will be tunning my car with Crome Pro.
Eventually when Jeff Evans isnt so booked up ill be retuning with Neptune, but by that time i should have a built block.
I purchased everything I have off on Honda-tech.com. The only used part was the Tial 38mm.
The exhaust, clutch, injectors are from AF performance
IC piping fom LSD motorsports (i will never do buisness with again
h: )
The turbo is from Rogue motor works, a NEW garrett...(you can see the box in the one pic)
The FMIC I got for free
THe DP, Dump and Manifold are all off a member on H-T
And the other little things are from H-T sponsors as well like Spoolin performance, camp1320 etc
Its getting tuned on a dynapak i believe, I wanted to hit 300whp but he said he usually tunes stock ls's to about 270whp so we'll take it from there.
