recent turbo pics

i cant remember if i already posted these pics (lol), so i'll do it here again.

basically, these are pics with the bumper on, some charge pipes painted, heat shield, and air filter.

I've made changes even since these were taken.

btw, these pictures were taken at the home of the creator of turboedit, Jason Parker... i told you we were friends :P

AND IM PUTTING IT ALL TO THE GROUND ON WALMART DOUGLAS PERFORMANCE GT-H 185/60/14 <-ROFL! (poor man can afford a nice turbo, but the cheapest tires walmart has hehehe)

OOOH the envy is overwhelming...

...but i got 185/70/14's on my camry-in YOUR face HA HA HA

I dont recall seeing those pics so im glad you threw them up. Looks good man, i definitly have a thing for sleepers. :smokin:

eh that big innercooler in the front kinda makes it no longer a sleeper, just a fast car that used to be slow. looks nice man, post some updated pictures

cool...but needs a bigger fmic :thumbsup: looks good...

did i hear an annoucement saying "clean up under 91civicDXdude hood" :lol:

your setup looks nice and clean. BTW, I kinda wish i was a friend of J Parker.

everybody says "you need a bigger FMIC".

one side is hot, one side is cold. that tells me that its doing its job. it may not look BLING BLING 30" wide 20" tall, but it does the job and thats all that matters. :P

oh, btw, im running back down to JasonParker's house today to tune this beast on his wide band o2 and work on some mapping. last night, i switched to stock pr3 maps, with low cam maps below 4400 rpm, and high cam maps above 4400 rpm to account for the 59300 cam & VTEC. running 16BTDC base timing, stock fuel pressure, and a very conservative .70 degree linear boost retard.

how much u think ur putting down?

yes sleepers rock. Interior is nice too, clean.

looking good dude :)

That is not a big FMIC...this is a big FMIC, lol. This is one of my buddies who has a 98 GST.

DAMN that fmic looks like a frikkin grill in the front! you cant see the sidetanks barely any!

Well If you look at the bottom inlet on the right side (driver side) of his bumper...u can see one of the pipes.

oh yeah....

Is there a point where a fmic becomes too big for gains?

I smell an additude.

that intercooler might work but it looks hella gay with the long thick pipes. but hey that is a civic with a turbo so im not gonna hate. nice job

looks awesome man, have u gotten any new vids of it?? i love ur car, its so awesome :)

It may not be the best looking FMIC...but i'd rather have one that doesn't look the greatest (but works good) than no FMIC at all and risk fucking up a bunch of stuff that I paid good money for, lol.

there is a limit for length when it is no longer cooling the air any more (charge temps down to ambiant). There is also a limit for hight and thickness when your not flowing enough air to need it, you dont want it because it increases spool up time (like running 3" charge pipe on a 6psi HMT setup, it's not worth it).

Yeah, I dont know about FMIC's for a fact, but I do know you can run too large of a radiator and it will accually make it run hotter.

thanks for all the comments :)

I'll admit it dont look as cool as some 800 dollar spearco that takes up the whole grille, designed for 900hp, but i dont really care about looks :P

eventually i'll have to upgrade it, but for now, the only mods im planning on doing is fabricating an intercooler sprayer with co2, and upgrading to my stainless steel manifold and a rebuilt T3 (.42/.48, or .60./.48 if i can find the parts)

this setup is gonna stay around for a while until i get my new secret project built up, which will take a while ;)

love the rims... got the same ones... 9lbs. and they do the job! :thumbsup:

i am not liking the rims mate, but the engine setup is sweet, veyr good work mate, wish i was more mechanically minded like a lot of you, good work matey

cheers

Jim
