yo I heard it was perfectly fine but maybe a lil' too rich maybe on 5psi...I know this b/c my gas mileage SUCKS ASSSSSSSSSSS which means I'm running RICH....lower #'s are richer...higher #'s are leaner

oh btw, it pulls hard as hell too...got it up to 135 tonight before I got off it cuz I got scared b/c my suspension is shot....murdered...

Well, I finally got back on. Work has been a b!tch. Whats up everyone.

Jet- Congrats on the turbo kit install. Suspension? Are your shocks shot? Learn from your car. Thats the only way to get better at working with/on your car.

Sam- Whats up with taking off the turbo? Going all show now?

cliff - figured you'd be hyped when you found this out. your car is in one of the pictures in modified mag. the pictures are from when yall went to torsion in dallas. page 176 , picture 1 , right behind the dude with the black mugen rsx .

sam - get cylinders next if your going all show. eai makes a bolt on kit for our cars . 2 tanks , 4 compressors and half inch valves and lines . it's an idea.

it think its another turbo xs bov but im not sure.

 
Rep Power: 0

Good to hear jet. I believe that is a turbo xs bov.

Wes- Are you getting rid of the washer tank? Thats the only way to run ic piping on each side.

Sam- Air ride would be killer on your car.

Squirrel- When is your car going to be done?

 
Rep Power: 0

oh okay...hopefully this is will do for now till I get another one...maybe the HKS or the Greddy Type S....hey sam, I'll be there today...so are you going with cylinders or not? I'm telling u, it would be SICK or go ahead and do the rest of your interior black

 
Rep Power: 0

I think cylinders is to ghetto man, lol. Im ordering vertical door kit today and getting the apexi rsm. I dont know what else. Im still waiting for my damn seats.

green - i have no clue now . every time i turn around i get hit or something. buggy smashed into me while i was at work to other day . another big dent to fix. on intercooler piping - you can also run it inbetween the radiator suport and subframe, back behind the motor and up by the oil pan or 180 the pipe and go under or above the ic.

jet - yeah traxion , whatever. that dudes rsx just looks better every time i see it.

Wes-Reading a/f ratio is like this; 12:1 is 12 parts air to 1 part fuel. If your a/f is 8:1, you have 8 parts air to 1 part fuel. The more your air increases, the leaner you run. Optimal reading for max power would be anywhere between 12.8:1 to 13.2:1. Remember this when tuning and you will make awesome power.
Also, for your intercooler piping, remember one thing: the further the air has to travel from the turbo to the intake, the more lag you will have and the longer it will take for you to spool a turbo depending on the size of it. The fewer bends and less amount of piping that you use, the better. I'd say look into going top mount if you could. That's exactly what I'd do. Do some research on WRX intercoolers and see if you could swing something possibly. You would need to do some custom work to the hood but with a good scoop on it, you could cool it pretty well.
BTW, what turbo did you decide on? t3/t04e?

Nate-sucks to hear bro at least you haven't painted it again yet.

I managed to find an rsx-s head that all I need to do is pay shipping on, woohoo. A friend of mine blew her motor and is getting an all new long block and she said she would send me her head if I paid the shipping. That with k24 block and type s tranny and I'll be ready for some pistons.

ordered vertical door kit today for $900 shipped and overnite shipping. Also ordered the APEXI RSM for the hell of it to spice up the interior.

i still havent gotten my EP3 seats and im getting pissed. I might have to drive to FL and kick some ***.

 
Rep Power: 0

still havent decided on what turbo to use.....

no, i dont have to get rid of the washer tank to make the ic work....i have it figured out though, if i can just find some pipe.....i hate to buy pre-bent pipe, and try to make it work....but i cant seem to find anyone that can mandrel bend pipe around here....

as far as setup goes cliff: huge front mount, return fuel conversion with aeromotive boost recognition fpr, walbro 255 fuel pump, with modded fuel rail, and all other hardware, hks ssq bov, custom ic piping, safc2 for tuning fuel, and turbo....dont know exactly which one yet....depends on pricing....

i would be very close to being done, but dude is taking forever to finish paying for kit.....if i would have known that it would take him 2months to pay for it, i would have sold it to someone else.....i just got second payment from him, and he still owes me 800 bucks....

Squirrel- That sucks bro. I guess it is good for you to wait. You have terrible luck though.

Wes- Waiting never killed anyone. Just look at it being more research time for you. Just be happy your not waiting for the SF kit again.

Andy- Are you sure about that head? Was it checked before you paid for it? Why dont you go for the type-r trany? Besides it being more, you get lsd, longer gears, and other things.

 
Rep Power: 351

Not sure about the head. I'm not buying it, just going to pay shipping. I will have it double checked first though. Even if it needs to have some work done, it'd be cheaper than buying a new head altogether (depending on if the damage is substantial.)
As far as the tranny, I would like to have a type r tranny but they are too expensive and too hard to find. I can drop a quaife into a type s tranny for 800 and I'm good to go. With the higher compression, I may run an ems with it and raise the rev limiter to around 95k so either way the gears won't make a difference. I'll be able to stay in my powerband for longer with the type s tranny on a raised rev limiter.
