My First Turbo Build

[zack_odom]

The Turbo blah blah, was an attempt to stay on topic foo.

[westsideaccord]

z man, bla blah...man come on now. ALL TALK then I will watch you wanta buy my car, cause even boosted with 250k still runs better than your stock with a sock.

as far as the clutch I am geting it from LSDmotorsports.com
LSD = Legal Speed Designs
95% Clamp Increase, 494 ft/lb Torque Capacity
Link for the Clutch

As soon as I drive my car to Cali, I am putting in my H22 manual tranny with LSD(limited slip)

I love my car being FI. Has already been a great experience. I miss being around it, after you drive boost, the addiction kicks in and you dont wanna go back!

NICE!

it happens to the best of us, like it did to me last night,, all i can say is be careful.
these are just the parts mine through 50 feet from my car,,and i picked up out of the road,,, we have not tore into her yet.

ouchies

sorry to hear it my friend...

I really miss my cars right now. had to trade in the yaris for a mini-van cause we got some extra people out here, and its lame. I hate mini-vans. Its in my name but I make other people drive cause Im listening for the BOV, where is that beautiful sound of greatness?

Making me realize I am not gunna recirculate it when I return.
Gunna pop the clutch, motor mounts, distributor and traction bar in and go play at the race track. I wanna see what this beast can do. Also going to look more into the cooling of the turbo.

On top of that my car is no longer a "She"
Do you know a woman that likes to be stroked or blown?
Its gotta be a dude! (sorry about the "dude" I am originally from California)

[zack_odom]

Dude!
DOOOOOD!

damm you guys really rigged up that front bumper

[d112crzy]

That's due to the fmic being really, really long. If he had fogs, there'd be no way he could have kept them. Not with this fmic.

But it honestly doesn't look bad in person. Looks pretty damn badass.

any intercooler sticking out the front looks badass. damm i wish you lived closer, so that you could tune up my ride.

[F22HB]

Ya, it does look hella badass with the cutup bumper. I like the way it looks.

[drummersteve7]

damn

a lot more positive comments than I thought, so now the question is:

should I get a new front bumper and make it totally sleeper

or

keep it the way it is?

I am getting better day pics but for now its gunna stay.

Traction bar and clutch are more importante!

[Smokinspeeds]

I think it looks alright but I'd still say get another front bumper and have it cut less... No way you are hiding that thing completely for a 'sleeper' look lol. But since it's not the most important, take your time finding one i.e., get a good bargain and a good looking one!!! Especially if you ever think you'll show it in a 'mild' category.

But yeah that traction bar and clutch are first... and another set of tires before long lol

[c mak]

I say get a new bumper and try it again!!!

Here is a picture of that same intercooler behind my bumper. You can hide that intercooler easily behind a bumper. I saw how far it was sticking out, and was like WTF? I guess I just mounted it right, cuz I did not have to really cut out that much of my bumper. But, I could not use my bumper lights either? I had to cut away at the location that the signals mount to.

Sorry Steve, I just found my memory card with these pics on it.



And now with the bumper off completely.

[d112crzy]

He didn't feel safe removing the rad. support.

[c mak]

What? He should not of had to remove the radiator support at all? I did not have to. The only thing that I removed was the ac condenser and all th ac parts.

[d112crzy]

Hmm, must be in the charge piping then. Yours also sits a bit higher.

He mounted the ic before he routed the charge pipes tho, who knows why he did the way he did it.
