Luvn' my Spooln' LX

[1garnetredlx]

I've finally got my baby running like a champ. I've got the Spool stage 1 kit with the tubular manifold and added a Greddy intercooler.I'll be running 3.5psi until I get it broken in. I love the look on peoples faces when they hear the blow off valve. Once I've got some miles on it, a friend of mine with his JUN Civic(bad-ass car!) and I are going to the track before it goes into storage. I can't wait! I'll be posting pics soon.
Thanks again Terry and all of you guys that helped me out!

bad ass! I hope I get to see it when I come pick that stuff up from you. And yes I havent forgotten

yeah, that is the exact feeling I had once I was turbocharged. Any chance you could dyno it. I'd like to see what the WHP is @ 3.5 psi. Alot of people tell me that it wouldn't be much more than stock - but I'm always saying that it would be. I would figure at least 20WHP maybe even 30WHP.

 

[1garnetredlx]

No problem. I haven't been able to find a way to get the stuff down to you but like I said I'm in no hurry, as long as you get it by the end of tomorrow. J/K.

The nearest dyno facility is at least an hour away from me. I've been just too friggn busy and I don't see any time available in the near future but I definately plan on it. I may not dyno it at 3.5 though because I will probably up the boost by the time I get a chance to dyno it. I would say that I've gained(I feel) at LEAST 30WHP. Although I probably wouldn't have gone turbo if I intended on staying at 3.5psi, it DOES make a big difference.

I feel your pain. I've had days/months like this.
Excuse me while I go find some wood to knock on.

Good old Wisconsin. I don't feel like using my intercooler as a snow plow. With how low it is and with the turbo it would suck ass to drive in the snow. It sucked last year when I didn't have the turbo on. So I bought a classy 1988 Oldsmopile Delta 88 to drive.

Glad to see ya boostin!
@ 4.5 psi you should be getting about 30-50whp
Lets see some pics. KInda curious on how you installed that greddy FMIC

 

[1garnetredlx]

I wanna make the engine bay look "pretty" before I take any pics. Hopefully this weekend.

[changedman]

Got over 400 miles on the turbo so I put the 8 psi spring in this weekend. Holy s***! I raced a guy that I know with a Miata which has a Greddy turbo kit. His best 1/4 time was mid/high 13's. I kept even with him the whole time. I probably would've beat him but I couldn't get any friggen traction. A friend of mine has a JUN Civic(Just like the green and yellow one in the old BF Goodrich ads). We're going to be hitting the track on September 3rd to see what I can do in the 1/4. He already ran a 14.5 and I know that my car is faster.
Sorry Terry no pics yet. I'm going to try to take some good pics hopefully Wednesday.

 

[Familia323]

Holy crap! thats awesome. So you're just running stock internals and tranny right? Which kit did you get and how much has it cost you so far?

Oh, and 150bucks coming to me by friday.. after that I just need to get a ride to fit all the stuff!!!!!!!!!!! *knock on wood......
