in for actual pics

 

It's pretty much stock minus the suspension and stereo tonight, but this week it will be at WORLD Motorsports getting the turbo kit on, and I will be taking pics, and documenting the complete build. Stay tuned!

 

I want to see this splitter. I have been wanting one for a while now.

 

Wow that will look sexy. Get rid of the stickers tho!!! Going to be impressive build, can't wait to see pics

 

Also why the tow hook?

 

the trd clutch wont hold up just telling you our stock clutch holds better so who knows but im excited to see the build if you need any help let me know or one of the other boosted brothers on here owning a turbo xb is a rather large task just know what yourgetting yourself into

 

Aesthetics..

 

Thanks, coryjames. I think that the TRD clutch will do just fine, and since the LSD is going in there isn't really a point in putting the stock clutch back in when you just had the whole transmission out, is there?

That said, I'm pretty confident that Rob and the guys at WORLD Motorsports have put together a pretty stout package and, I don't think that I will have any issues...

Wheels are being fitted today, stay tuned for some teaser pics.

 

In for real pics.

I like that front Carbon fiber bumper. Looks good, I cant wait to see it!

 

where are the updates

 

Sorry for laggin on the initial updates. A lot has gone on the xB in the last week or two.

I went to ARK Design and got the wheels and seats test fitted. The wheels look very unique and I am really enjoying what they bring to my xB.

I'm going to have the guys at WORLD Racing build custom seat mounts and sliders for the ARK Design seats so that I can achieve the lowest positioning as possible on the seats...Lowwwwridddah! lol.

Currently in the process of locating extra material so that I can match the rear seats, and have them embroidered. I did this on my prelude a few years back, so hopefully I don't have too much of an issue sourcing the material from ARK/Sparco.

Once I knew the proper, or in this case "un-proper" fitment of the wheels, I went back to WORLD Racing and adjusted my coil-overs so that I could get another inch or so out of the drop. I lost some ride quality....but who cares...she looks nice!

I had a hard time finding the 5 Axis Design lip kit for my xB from various local vendors, so I decided to call an old friend of mine who cold possibly help..Troy Sumitomo himself from 5AD. Once he heard I had an issue locating the kit he was quick to locate one, and then took it a step further and not only found me one the next day but he had his guys paint AND install it for me!! Nothing like a perfect fitting body kit that is installed by the person who designed it, huh?! Thanks again to Troy and his team for all of their help. Below are some pics from the shop when it was being installed... Ohh...is that the new tC and iQ? mmmhmm.. sure is..



Checking the fitment on the front, running 9.5 inch wide wheels can possibly pose an issue, or not?


Front lip is done! side skirts are next..


In good company.. 5AD 2011 tC, and 2011 iQ builds sit just behind my xB.


These dudes were awesome...didn't catch their names but Thanks! Install came out perfect.


Full LOCK!! Fatty tires are so sexy..


iQ in the reflection of my door.. cool shot and MOAR full lock!


Lip kit is all done!!! Ready to ride! DTA ALL DAY!


A few snaps of the finished product..well almost, the carbon splitter still needs to be done, but I'll start that after the turbo kit is done so we can make the proper cuts for the intercooler.


3/4 Rear shot..


not bad? I like


Nice butt..


Time to ride..


Now that the body kit was installed, it was back to WORLD Racing in Torrance to start the minor fabrication needed to prepare for the Descendant Turbo kit installation. I had them add an extra boss in my down-pipe for the AEM Uego gauges, the welds are so clean!



The xB is currently all apart undergoing the installation of the turbo kit. We will be making a video of the installation, and dyno session and then I will be giving some drive-ability feedback once I am able to put a few miles on her. I have driven the Descendant xB around and I can't wait to have mine finished!

This is all the updates for now, but I will keep them coming over the next few days as Information and pictures become available.

 

I got the final piece of the Descendant V.2 turbo kit in today (The MVS wastegate) Installation will begin on Monday, installation pictures and videos coming shortly after.


I went with the purple one, since I'm a die-hard LAKERS fan.

One other thing that I got a few days ago was my AEM Gauges. I installed it near the driver side AC vent, to keep enough room for the boost gauge and WORLD Electronics BD-1 Boost Dial (pictured below)


I plan on leaving the kit at the recommended boost settings, but I love the ability to have a few extra lbs. of boost whenever needed. From what I hear the kit has made up to 360+ hp which is perfect for the xB.

 

i interest. -_- serious face.

 

watching

 

Those are some very unique wheels... are they one off? You are going to have on sick looking ride when its done. . .actually its pretty sick looking now! Congrats!!!!
