Custom Turbo kit for my MP3

[kwjhduibd]

so awhile back i posted up what i was going to do with piecing things togethor well since then i have been takin on the challenge ands lets just say im comming down to the closing weeks till it is done.. right now all i am waiting on is to tap my crank support plate get my wastegate delivered make my downpipe and get my return line made and ill be a boosting fool.. i will post pics and everything when it is all complete and give detail as to the headaches i ran into in the process this is what the kit consists of

20.5x6.5x2.5 FMIC *28in overall fits nicly behind grill*
custom 2.5 downpipe
custom 2.5 intercooler piping
t3/t4 50 trim .42 ar turbo
OBX Turbo Manifold *off ebay* *massive port matching*
custom fabbed intake from honda intake
custom oil feed and oil return adapter plates
HKS Style intake filter
Tial Style 38mm wastegate with 6lb spring
Greddy Type S BOV
MSP ECU

i should be done before HIN in chicago and if i feel that it is stable and can take a long trip *ill test it before* i will make the hike with my local ohio/ky people up there.. i am getting my last pieces this week *wastegate and pipe bender* and i will be tapping my support plate and making my oil feed adapter as well so i will post more pics up asap

nice...ady idea what kinda of power you will be getting?

nice...ady idea what kinda of power you will be getting?

no idea ill dyno it after i get use to it prolly be around 200 guessing.. larger turbo then a t25 and no restrictions since il already have hard pipes and a non restrictive downpipe.. so only time will tell!

 

[dallas alex]

sounds good, only thing i'd be worried about is that manifold...
obx has a really bad reputation, but good luck!

 

[Revs]

Nice work, makes me want to boost mine, but I know that won't happen.

Mind if I ask how much that setup set you back??

 

[army_mechanic]

are you in ohio or ky? Im here in lexington Kentucky

 

[Jeph]

Good luck with that manifold...
What are you using for engine management?
How much boost you planning on running?
Any plans for a built motor?

 

[kwjhduibd]

live in cinci ohio. the manifold acctually isnt that bad some of the welds needed a touch up but nothing major. ill be running a 6lb spring and a built block is in the future with better rods. right now ill be running just a MSP ecu for the turbo fuel maps and will get the tps rewire and use a afc o and price i am just under 1500 maybe a lil less

 

[Jeph]

Sweet. A built motor is a good thing, because you're not going to be close to the efficiency range of that turbo at 6 psi.

 

[kwjhduibd]

i will but for the time being i will enjoy the 6lbs which will be better then none it will be a nice bump in HP from what it was and something to work from

 

[ozmojo1]

hey man, your setup looks real nice. how is that manifold holding up?

also, at what rpm are you seeing full boost with that turbo? thanks

 

[Jeph]

The manifold looks good, but we'll see how the welds hold up. Especially since the wastegate is off a single runner, and has no support what-so-ever

 

[kwjhduibd]

it will hold up if i have a problem i will just reweld it

 

[kwjhduibd]

also i am making a brace for the manifold from the block to support the weight of the turbo as well

 

[Jeph]

Great idea

 

[Laser03pro]

Hey man im in the cincy area I wouldnt mind to see this thing when your finished.

 

[Captain KRM P5]

bump for a well done custom job

 

[kwjhduibd]

will have pics of final product but wont be keeping it on i lost my job recentally and dont want the possibility of a blown engine becoming an expence but will have pics b/c i will be making my DP and i have my upper IC pipes painted and will have the BOV flange welded and what not..

 

[Pastime-Gamer]

I'm sorry to hear that man.
