Thanks for the comments guys. I'll definitely keep everyone updated on what kind of numbers it puts down when I get it back to the dyno.

 

Man, it's nice to see things done right. I'm curious about how much did the turbo related parts cost you?

 

Looks good. Keep up the great work!

 

Thanks again. I would say just the turbo parts were around the $2000 mark. Certainly can be done for less though.

 

came in to post this..

there was a guy on honda-tech.com that was selling A/C lines that totally take them away from the hot turbo parts. i think that would help your setup.

i used to always melt the zipties on my heat wrap for the ac lines.

and the ride height is awesome. screw the slammed look

 

If your referring to my comment I never said slammed... A little drop would make it look much better.

 

i'm not referring to anyones comment.

i like stock, or close to stock ride height cars

 

Well, I got down to the track last Thursday so I figured I'd post some times in case anyone was interested. It had been over a year so my first run was a little rusty against a V6 Camaro from like 97, ended up being a 13.22 @ 116.76, horrible 2.44 60 foot. Next run was against an 01 GTO with a few mods, he red lighted but I still pulled him at the end to run a 12.83 @ 112.00, nice 60 foot of 2.198 on that one. The GTO ran a 13.05. Next run was against an 07 Z06 who had been running 12.4's/12.5's consistantly. We line up and I blow the intercooler pipe off the throttle body when hitting boost in first gear!! I pretty much coasted to a 15.20 @ 83.22, took my slip and drove right out the gate. The pipes are bead rolled but that pipe was clamped before the bead, I noticed it and never fixed it and completely forgot about it. So I got home and unclamped the coupling to fix everything. I'm gonna try to get back down there soon for more runs. A side note, there was a 2007 Aston Martin DB9 V12 there running 12.5's all day. It did get beat by the 07 Z06 when they lined up, 12.4 to 12.5.

 

What kind of tires?

 

Sounds like you might benefit from some of those heavy duty hose clamps Steve uses.
