does the turbolife require cutting the front bumper?

exhaust and hardpipes FTW. mid-pipe at least. and Turbolife is the way to go!!!

does the turbolife require cutting the front bumper?

Nope!!

well there are a few guys on here that i know have the same CXracing kit and they say it works just fine. but im with u on this one i think. the whole kit is only about $250 bucks and there is no way it can be top end performance at that price. it would almost be a good deal just to buy that kit and use the pipes then buy a quality core lol. cuz the cost of that whole kit is less than what most people pay for pipes.

Link?

Sounds like a kit w/a bunch of universal bends to me...but if it's bolt-on for that price...

 

[mx-p5]

i'm gonna agree it's abunch a universal bends.

It's worth the money to get the turbolife kit with, what, 2 pipes? lol

Not worth the hassle of getting everything to line up and make sure they all stay sealed

 

[Ricktalife]

well guys it sounds like the turbolife is the way to go

thats the link to the kit that i beleive would be the best fit. it is a bunch of universal bends but would that hinder performance at all? let me know what u think about it

 

[Ricktalife]

well for one that doesn't say it fits the msp and i don't really trust ebay for performance products.

 

[evanisonfire]

well the guys that have installed the CXracing kit on their cars have told me that is the correct kit for the msp. its a DIY kit so it likely would not say what all it fits. and ya you are right about the ebay performance products but if i can save almost $600 on a FMIC kit and still have nearler the same performance than im willing to risk it lol.

My thoughts on the universal eBay kit...

• All the pipes are bead rolled on the end. This is a good thing. However, with a universal kit you are going to have to cut pipes to length...so one end will not be bead rolled anymore.
• Piping will end up being longer. You questioned if universal bends would hinder performance at all. You won't be able to run as direct with the piping. If you clock your turbo, and run up some pipes a'la 505Zoom...that would be much better

well the guys that have installed the CXracing kit on their cars have told me that is the correct kit for the msp.

Any dyno runs from any of these guys?

if i can save almost $600 on a FMIC kit and still have nearler the same performance than im willing to risk it lol

How much is that seller charging to ship up Canada?

 

[evanisonfire]

i have not asked the guys about dyno runs so i am not to sure about that. and as for shipping to canada i have not gotten a reply from them but shipping for other similar products to canada is about the same cost as the product. so it will end up being $450-$500 canadian i beleive.

 

[mx-p5]

$450-500 of Ebay performance vs $600 for proven performance and ease of installation

if it were me, i'd spend the extra coin and do it right from the start

If you do get the ebay setup, keep us updated with the install and end results!!

 

[evanisonfire]

well the turbolife is 600 american plus shipping in american also. so i i figure it will be close to 800 canadain...well now that i think about that thats only a 300 difference for alot better quality lol. well i supose the ebay kit does come with a BOV but still. i think i might be leaning more towards the turbolife now lol

 

[mx-p5]

i don't know how much i'd trust that BOV that is included in that kit.

Turbolife is not setup to run a BOV though. So if you were wanting to do that, yo'd have to cut pipes on that setup as well to relocate the MAF and run on BOV

i was looking at something to solve just that problem the other day :

Perrin made this to work with SSQV and their intercooler (styled identically to Turbolife's). i've seen people VTA without relocating the MAF, and this should be able to work with the Turbolife intercooler setup. i'm just a little concerned with stalling.

 

[special--k]

Turbolife has the nipple to ad the BOV without cutting and welding. however im pritty sure that you need to relocate the MAF if you want to VTA. There is no way around that without stalling.

 

[HondaNoMore]

the only reason i think it can be done is because i've seen it before... CitizenPro did it with his Perrin:

see thread here:

[special--k]

you can do it... for sure... but you will stall. Unless maybe you can tweek the fuel management system... but im not sure.

 

[evanisonfire]

well where would i relocate the MAF to on the turbolife kit if i wanted a BOV? (i am just thinking of buying the kit so the tubes would be uncut if that makes it easier to relocate)

ever questing you could have in in this thread... if you take the time to read it. In short, you need to hacksaw the coldpipe roughly 10 inches from the TB and then get some silicone coupliers and just put the MAF there... its really easy. if you look in the thread there are Pics and everything. I plan on doing the same thing once i get my Kit.
