This is kind of a generic DIY, and the big question ,what about the fuel system? (besides the larger injectors, which are not mentioned at all in the insturctions)[hr]

Rep Power: 0 Yeah, this is waayyy to generic, not very 2k1 specific in terms of the daunting questions that have plagued previous setups...ie in regards to the returnless fuel system, which trim levels (will EX's high compression ratio match well?), why such a big turbo, etc...needs to be more in depth, but is a good start.

Sorry everyone,
I have been working a lot of hours lately, and I am moving into a new house so I havn't had much time to work on this DIY. I know it is not to detailed but I wanted to get it started. I will finish it up tonight. I have this kit on my car, and yes it works. A little turbo lag a low rpm, but that is what the 25 shot of nitrous is for. I have a bigger turbo on here so I can adjust it when internals are made. Yes, there is a return fuel line kit that is out for our car as well, but you don't need it unless you are running over 6-8 pounds of boost. I am running 7 pounds of boost. There is a pic of my car on the sig in the post before me. It is the purple one. It is before I had the turbo.
Why do you people make it so hard to believe that this whole turbo is real. I have it on my car and so do a few others on this site. GUESS WHAT it is real, and it works.
And no I am not like some of the others on here either. I pay for all of my stuff. I am a trucking dispatcher (that is where the long hours come from) so I make enough.

You don't NEED a 'kit' to have a turbo. The main biotch to get around a turbo, is the stupid header. Turbo-performance makes one for our generation, and a lot of places will build a custom one for around 400-500USD.
I'd love to see what kind of HP you get, especially with the intercooler! I want to do it, but I don't think I can afford the intercooler at the same time. I was thinking of throwing down the plumbing, running 5psi, then eventually throw in the intercooler and jack it up to around 8/9.
How big of a difference have you noticed? night and day?
man, you make me so jealous!!!
Good job on the turbo!

Rep Power: 0 During the 'Turbo Lag' portion of the Rev, is the HP equal to or less than stock with a turbo?
And could you use a ball bearing T28 Turbo off the s15 sylvia / skyline gtr?
Also, do you think that you could raise the boost to a higher PSI if you installed the AEM EMS system?

Rep Power: 0 No more then 8 pounds of boost max. Or else like hector said
"HTOWN I HAVE A BLOWN MOTOR"
It hasn't had any problems for me. I am not sure about the HP at low spool rpm's.

Rep Power: 0 Well, if you don't post some times or dyno results, how is anybody going to know if it's worth the time and effort for this turbo gizmo? I mean, is it a just an ego thing to say you have one, and not give out the results of this installatiion? Did I miss this somewhere?

Rep Power: 0 Well sooorrryyy mister bartkat. I didn't know it was my responsibility to go pay a $100 and dyno my car just so you can SEE the results. No, you didn't miss anything, and no it is not an ego thing. Worth the time and effort! Hahaha. What do you think? Dah, of course it is. I guess you didn't read all of my other post in different threads. Maybe you are new because you didn't use the search option. Hey, it's O.K.. Oh, and in a way it's an ego thing I guess. I have one and you don't.
I am also working on a custom polished aluminum intake manifold and rods. My head is being port and polished right now. I hope to be in the low to mid 13's. I am still using a 25 shot of nitrous for low rpm spools.

I know this guy, I knew him when he couldn't even clean his car right for the shows he asked a lot of questions I help him and now he also flames me then he tells every one that he's my friend.
His dad has money so he pays to have his car done, just get's ideas from every one else then gives them the treatment.
Can't answer the sratight questions he only knows what he heards from the people that knows.
This hole DYI is a copy of the turbo kit DYI, Grey had it right from the get go.

Rep Power: 0 Ok, so this thread is very generic and I'm sorry, but we just can't believe it when someone makes a DIY this simple and SAYS he has turbo. Too many people say they have one. On a website we need a little more proof. Now don't get too pissed off. If you do have a turbo which is entirely possible, then I give you one hell 
Now, all you need to do is post 1 pic and people will believe you. So I hope I can give you a thumbs up soon when I see one because I really want to see more people doing serious $hit to their cars. Ya, I know I haven't done anything to my car, but I think I'm in the same boat as most and have no $$$ for serious mods yet. I can't wait till I have a few bills to do some mods.

why would you NEED a picture to believe it? is it so hard to believe? do you people honestly know so little about turbos to think that it's impossible?
you people need to do some research.
and bartkat: if you have so little knowledge of turbo's that you have to ask how much horsepower it has gained....then you shouldn't buy a turbo. a turbo is for people with engine knowledge....you can't get by off daddy's money.
do a little research and you guys will realize that a turbo takes a bit of money upfront, but once you have the plumbing down, anythings possible. and installing a turbo might take a little time, but its nowhere near as hard as you guys think it is.
you guys need to chillax! be happy for this guy...he has a turbo, and can easily spank our cars!
good work NUMBERoneHONDA!
keep us posted on how things workout in the long run with your turbo!
PEACE

Rep Power: 0 Hector, I never had a problem with you until now. I messed with you a lot and joked around all in good fun, but you just over did it. I don't use my dads money, but if I did, who cares. You haven't seen my car and wouldn't know what I have done to it or not. I have a turbo, and who ever goes to hot import nights will see it. Or better yet, who ever sees me anywhere can see it. I am going to the track somtime in the next couple of weeks. I will post time slips and all the pics. Until then hold your horses. Chill out.
P.S. Hector, you don't know me or anything about me. You know what you know from what you heard. So who talks and puts threads up from just hearing things? Hahah you
Oh ya, one more thing. The turbo I have is not a kit. It is one you can by from me now. Me and my buddy from the performance shop and with a little help from Damon at turbo performances came up with it.

then later its like "hey you suck, you're lying!!"
people these days.
I for one believe him. I know thats a pretty generic DIY for turbo, but its not too difficult in the sense... managing the turbo is another story. bolting on parts is a time consumed effort... but its not too difficult, I think the difficult part is choosing ur setup, and taking care of it after you get it up and going.
anyway. maybe when he gets the pics up people will shush.
