Just making fun of you TT and Dezod kit owners and your silly thread titles

Here is the rundown of my kit and the specs, along with what I paid:
-Turbo Kit - 800
-Custom Tubular Manifold (Stainless Steel)
-Custom Downpipe (stainless Steel)
-Turbosmart Pro-gate Wastegate (7 psi spring)
-Custom Wastegate Dump Tube
-Intercooler Piping (Aluminum W/Bead rolled edges)
- Jiffy-Tite Oil Feed
-Ebay Turbo (replaced)
-Intercooler
-4 ply couplers
-Wormgears and rusty bolts
-Garrett Turbo (T3/60 trim) - 350
-550 Pnp Injectors - 220
-Aem F/IC Piggy Back + Dezod PnP Harness - 270
-ATI Gauge Pod - 95
-Autometer Boost Gauge - 60
-Autometer Oil Pressure Gauge - 45
-Aem UEGO - 260
-Oil and Filter - 55
-Tapped Oil Pan - 35
- Dupli-Color Spray Paint - 15
-Gasket Maker - 20
-Oil Fittings - 10
-New Bolts/Nuts - 10
-O2 Sensor bungs/Welding - 40

Total= +/- 2285

This gives you an Idea of just how cheap you can Build an entire turbo kit if you just take your time and find great deals. I will get it tuned sometime next week at Chruch's Automotive Testing.




Future Upgrades:
-Clutch and Flywheel
-I will also be using the new Tsudo 3'' Exhaust as soon as we start production on it.

Problems/Need Your Help

So there is only one fitment issue, its a hardline, on the bottom right side of the engine bay. Here is a pic of the problem...




The intake pipe is hitting this hard line, but I have no idea what the hard line is or what it does. I don't mind taking the intake pipe out and "modifying" it. I just don't know if its worth banging up my pipe unless the Hard line is important.

Any help/comments are welcomed

EDIT** 3/18/08 Dyno Day

I got the car Towed to the tuners. My car was too low to fit on the lift so Bumper was removed



I'm only boosting 4 psi, and I made 240 HP, but they tuned it down to 222 due to it running lean towards the top end






Hopefully I can see some great numbers when I get my 3'' Exhaust and up the boost to 9 Psi

Videos!!!

You Can see the Honda next to me was having some Major problems

 

goddamn. that's a custom kit that was really done properly

-kicks car.

 

Nicely done. what type of engine management are you running?


If its not putting a whole lot of pressure on the hard line I wouldn't worry about it since it is a HARD line.

 

Nice... Im almost done with mine.. Give me two more weeks. I just need injectors n F/IC n PnP harness and Im done.. Mine is done right too.. Tial Wastegate n such GReddy type rs all the bells and whistles..

Sorry for whoring your thread Im just excited of being close to done.. And, I wont dare post up my progress in a thread just for the SL curse to get me.. haha

Nicely done Kit.. I like it.. BTW where is ur MAF i dont see it..

 

never mind i think i can see the MAF near the intake.. I can barely make it out tho..

 

nice work

 

i think im his list it says hes using AEM F/IC for engine management...

 

that hardline looks clutch related. dont brake that one!

 

Aem F/IC

LOL, I have heard of the SL curse, and made SURE not to post any progress haha

The MAF is on the side of the intake, i don't know if I have a good angle to see it

Are you pretty sure about that?

Anyone else have any ideas what it is? I might just PM Dezod or TT, they seem to know everything lol

Thanks for the comments everyone This is the first turbo car I have ever driven, man does it sound like a beast! and thats with stock exhaust

 

gotta love the "style" threads!
That kit looks SICK!

But how the hell did you get the AEM F/IC and the harness for just $270! I paid near $700 for mine!

Oh, and can you get a more top down photo of where the turbo is sitting? I can't follow that top polished pipe.

 

serious? i was trying to stay under 600 buying a used one and a harness

 

dope. you should start putting out your own kits! haha. Have fun at Church's. They rule

 

you should deffinetly upgrade that oil feed line to your turbo.

 

damn let us know how it goes with the tune and dyno!!

 

Really nice setup man.

 

looks really nice, i wanna see the numbers when u post em

 

nice work, wantto see the #s as well...

 

wow, custom FTW!

 

x2.. but good job! lotsa savings right there!

 

Hey, the first thing in your list says "Turbo Kit - $800"
What all did that consist of?
