I REALLY like the layout of the piping in your car Catalyst! I feel like I've seen it somewhere before!

hahaha.... yea, maybe somewhere boosted.

I did make mine slightly different. I made that drivers side pipe several times. I was going for a unique look.

Anyway, here is the mods/componends of my turbo system

Stock D17 bottom end
Dhracing cylinder head
Stainless equal length manifold
custom 56mm T3
3" downpipe
31" core intercooler
Candy Blue intercooler piping
Turbo XS RFL bov
Alcohol injection

The turbo makes boost at 2300 rpm. It is the best combination i have ever seen for small motors like ours. And this is by no means a small turbo.

I have several videos of my car running. I can post them here, because im on 56k. But i will post them later when im somewhere with DSL.

You guys are gonna like the sound of it, because it sounds exactly like a WRX, except mine has more turbo whine.

we were preparing the car for IDRC, but i got there too late to run it. I had a few fuel problems, but nothing i couldnt handle in 20 degree weather, 40 hours without sleep, and a pear of pliars.

We do offer a kit similar to this. There are a few minor changes with the piping. The kit that is on my car is a $5000 kit. It also comes with an intake manifold, which i have yet to make. The normal stage II kit doesnt have a rock solid price yet. We are kicking around anywhere from $4200 to $4500.

This what I want to hear. What does the stage 2 kit have? Is the new IM the one that DHRacing offers? If so, than how is the pipping ran? And does it have the IC with the outlets on the same side? Details please if possible. Have you guys finished making pistons and rods?

What I want it to be able to run about 15-18psi. What kind of kits are you going to have to what I would need? Just wondering.

dang that looks nice 5k I don't know about that but I'd be interested in getting some dyno numbers whenever you get time. A sponsor should be able to pull some string and hook you up.

Cat when you do dyno will you run once with no boost so we all can see what the head did for you? I am really curious as to what it did for for as I know others are as well.

We cant run it without boost because it isnt the same. Flowing throught the turbo with no boost will hurt the power.

We did just take out a punk kid in his daddys 2003 vette. It still had dealer plates.
