that looks like a Hal Kit

 

Holy Wheel Gap Batman

 

you should have invested some of that turbo money into hood struts

 

well, he doesn't neet to open his hood to smoke other cars...

 

nice sleeper look i say

 

Or a can of engine degreaser

 

wish i could've had something like that at the ago of 17.

 

Dayum is everyone gonna hate on this kid???

Thats sweet man...lets have some details

 

ah, turbo :drools:

looking real good! wouldnt hurt to drop car a little but definitely a sleeper.

 

I want turbo!!!

I saw your sig pic of your turbo in another post yesterday and went to your cardomain to see what your kit looked like but it didn't have any pics of it so it confused me. It looks like a good kit. Now all we need is a dyno graph and some time slips from the track. Which turbo is that? Are you sure you want to remove those fans?

BTW I like where you put the turbo timer.

 

switch back to stock muffler and go for sleeper style

 

why is it anytime someone gives constructive critism its hating?

 

Probably just the way it was worded, Sprinty!! Don't sweat it... you and I know what the REAL deal is!

In any case, Jonathan, nice-looking setup. I'm ASSuming unless you're running some kinda "Back-To-The-Future-Car-Digesting-Garbage-For-Energy" thing, your battery is in your trunk?

 

are you going to be able to see that turbo timer where you put it?

 

I was wondering the same thing.

Bout damn time you got that thing done buddy, looks good.

 

I did the same thing yesterday on his car domain. Sweet. Hopefully I can be the youngest 3rd gen turbo. Great to be 17 and boosted.

 

looks good, i like the picture with your blue valvecover, that thing looks like it came out of a sandstorm.

 

Kit looks nice...how's it run...and HOLY RUST BATMAN!?!...that engine bay needs some TLC...car looks good though...


I say drop it..and you'll be set

 

mmmm Turbo...... Car looks good.

 

looks like a bone yard motor.

 

not bad, now get it over to e-town and see what that baby's saying. you might wanna bring some WD-40 to clean off some of that rust. man a turbo at 17 and i still have a broken flex pipe.

 

Thanks for the replies guys, yeah it hauls like crazy and yeah i need a drop asap haha. I'm just in debate right now because im fearful of the pipes hitting the speed bumps at school. But yeah a drop and replacing those rusted pieced in the engine bay and everything should look good, i just hope i can find those pieces to replace the ones in my engine bay, you think a dealer would have them? BTW its not too hard to see the turbo timer but i rarely ever need to look at it. The reason it has those yellow markings on the engine is because i purchased a newer one from a junkyard because be previous one had 240,000 miles on it!

 

Yhea, my used motor has the ugly writing on the vavle cover as well, at least mine is black though....yellow arggg!

 

Looks good, but um where are your fans?

 

one front mounted?

 

yep
10char

 

i love to see the turbo max/i30 army grow!!!!

 

suspension would drop it as well as improve traction im sure.

 

yeah i was thinking about sprints but that might make it too low, maybe some h&r's

 

dont really need 2 see the turbo timer once u set it, unless u want to add more time or something, but does look hard 2 see

Is that dixit's old kit?... piping looks the same.

 

it's a hal style kit but it was custom made by a good friend of mine

 

just wondering why you turbocharger a junkyard motor. did you rebuild it before putting it in?

 

I was thinking the same thing..

welcome to the club

 

Why not, it was fully tested and everything was fine, and it had 55k miles. My previous engine had 240,000 miles. And I got the engine for only $375 shipped.

 

hell yeah go for broke! they act like you cant get another one if that one pops.

 

Sounds like a GREAT deal...

The only *cough*Advice*cough* I have, is to isolate that metal bracket attached to the charge pipe.

I would think that since you have the charge pipe solidly attached to the body of the car with that metal bracket, that anytime the motor torques/twists, you're risking ripping the weld off of the pipe..

I would buy one of those Injen "Vibra Mounts" to allow the engine/piping to move independantly of the rest of the car.

I made the mistake once of installing an Injen intake (on an Acura) without the Vibra Mount - bolted a bracket directly to the body... after about 4 months, the bracket ripped the weld out of the pipe...
