The Build went smoothly.aside form an intake mani leak, and afc setting problem.we got her on the road.

since im running a stock Fuel Pump at the moment i had it tuned as safe as it could have been. but sadly im still running a tad lean on above 5k

fuel pump should hopefully be had next weekend.

Full boost occurs somewhere around 2500-3kand im only running off waste gated 7lbs.but still feels amazing.

At the moment im making 180whp and 185 ft/lb torque we tried to add as much fuel to keep it safe. so the numbers aren't crazy.after fuel pump i hope to bump it up to right around 200.

i plan to do SMIC also. sometime in the near futurealong with Nistune.right now im running off just an AFC. ive seen guys do it and succeed somewhat and ive seen guys do it and fail hard.hopeuflly she'll stay safe untill i can shoot for nistune.

i got my car back friday. and ive been driving all weekend.its simply amazingaside from the open downpipe thing..its hella loud.

everyone makes KA turbo mani'swould be a hassle to get a sr one and cut the flanges off and weld your own on.sidemount is temporary.

Looks nice dude! Good job!

[E7-S14]

Thanks for the compliments guysthis is my first boosted car and i LOVE IT!

[ThuG LyFe]

damn came a long way from that red car. too bad i never got to experience turbo in my car...

btw, would it have cost less if you swapped in an SRDET from the beginning?

Awesome man!

For the oil return did you tap the oil pan? I remember your post in the ka-t section, you've come a long way haha.

[IanS]

Get an FMIC on and tune it, and I would like to see the dyno sheet. It would be interesting to compare it to a factory turbo SR with about the same mods.

Mostly what Im wondering is, what effect will the NA manifold, and internals have on the way the power curve looks.

[Thamm]

Great job!

[Riggle]

Looks subtle and tasteful for sure. Definately would rock it.

[Wc240]

nice job man. im with ian, id like to see a dyno graph and compare

[E7-S14]

ill get the dyno sheet from the guys who dynoed it.

the power curve is crazy linear.tho.

i tapped it in the upper oil pan for oil return.

thanks for the compliments guys

Old Dyno Chart.



New Dyno Chart. on 7lbs of boost

so that's a 50hp gain and a 70 ft/lb torque

it feels amazing!
