hey everyone, just wanted to let everyone know that im almost done boosting. It only took me 18mo of headachs, deployments, and weeks of eating romen to fund the project. All I have left to do is to mount the intercooler, and run the ic pipes. I was hoping that maybe someone with a stillen ft lip can tell can how much of a vertical gap ( size of the opening in ft) is. Im in the process of cutting my bumber support, and I dont want to cut any more than I have to.

 

way to go hope you post pics soon.. i would like to see it...

 

Sounds good. Hope to see some pics. Congrats.

 

 

I think I have pics of this one? This guy isn't joking around..

 

sweet...I cant wait for pics.

 

The opening is about 5 inches

 

dmontzmax ur next in line for some boost

 

i definitely wanna see pics of this too! oh yea, you auto or 5-speed?

 

I am hoping to be well in the works this time next year. I am counting down 29 days left until the 5 speed swap.

 

VE turbo? wow dude....pics! pics! pics! track times! track times! track times! yea!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I want to see pics of this. Post pics soon and some video of your turbo VE running.

 

I have some pics not sure how to put them on the board, if someone can host them for me Ill send you what I got via Email

 

send them to KLoWnPR109@cablelynx.com

I'll host them for you

 

you have mail

 

If you've got any more, just send them on over

 

so did you just build your own manifolds or did you find a matching set?

the problem I have is I no longer have a car to take measurements on.
also, where are you gonna put your battery?
MrGone

btw, looks good.

 

Looks like the stock Manifolds to me.

 

very very nice

 

How the hell is the oil going to drain out of the turbo? drain is on top...?

 

looks like stock manifolds, modified y pipe.

 

I have other pics of this project from someone on this board. Its stock manifolds/modded y pipe. Not a bad setup either..

 

I know this is totally out of discussion and I know we have a VE-T in front of us, but what kind of gauge pod is that? how does it fit? and where did you get it?

 

i think they are for an integra, the years that include 93 i believe.

 

92 integra 2dr, not a perfect fit but its the closest one you'll find.





btw, those screws were just temporary and have since been replaced by nicer ones

 

Ahhh Jesus.....saw the post and didnt know it was you. I e-mailed you back the other day man.

Dummy, he relocated the battery to the trunk and he's using a custom y-pipe.

 

very nice, looks like I am going to be purchasing some gauge pods...also what is the most noticeable part about them not fitting?

 

umm it doesnt really look bad at all, youve just got to get the screws in the right spots to get it perfect, but on the bottom it doesnt wrap around as tight as I would have liked. I can take some pics for you tommorow that show detail if you want.

 

yes please, that would be great. I want to see how it looks now and what screws you used and where you put them.

 

The manifolds are stock. I just modified the y-pipe using 2.5" mandrel bends that merges into a collector out to 3" piping that bends up to the turbo. I relocated the battery to the trunk. Ill send pics of the y-pipe

 

The oil return just needs to be rotated 180 deg., Just placed the turbo on the flange to make sure everything fit right. I wanted to make sure I had room for the wastegate.

 

If you dont mind me asking, how much did the piping cost you?

 

all got my exhaust piping from http://www.roadraceengineering.com/mandrelbends.htm
I got
1 2.5" u bend
1 2.5" 45 deg bend
1 2.5" 90 deg bend
1 2.5" 5 foot straight pipe
and I got the same exact bends foe the 3" piping. It set me back a couple of hundred dollars. But because I live in Hawaii the shipping ($146.)is what killed me. Each piece is around $30. ea. I would recommend that you get at least 2 ubends. This would of made my life a little easier.
The intercooling piping I already had from my last turbo project (2 gen rx7)

 

i have this one question
how are you going to equalize the exhaust gasses

it looks to me as if the turbo is being spooled by the front bank of cylinders.

whats the a/r of the exhaust wheel?

close to my old design of the later 90's

just remember this

the vg30de-t and gn motors have the turbo spooling off both banks for a reason

 

I was gonna ask the same thing....my guess is maybe an underbody/motor crossover pipe of some sort

 

hmmm...I wonder if they could still knock it out, that place is only about 15 minutes from me...so it was under $200 for all that piping? what kind of metal? also how were the welds? Did they do your y pipe?

 

you have more mail (y-pipe pics)

 

yeah it is an underbody crossover. I just sent some pics of the y pipe to KLoWnPR109. Hopefully he will post them

 

Here ya go, keep em coming

 

nice job man have you done anything to the motor internally or are you just running it on the stock specs??
