New SI turbo... mmmm
 
Thought you guys might want to see this. I gotta give props to this thing; it is clean and looks like it would have tons of power... look at the intercooler on that thing!!! ;)




pdiggitydogg 03-18-2004 12:43 PM

k's are more n/a motors (like c5's)

but it does look really good...minus body and it'd be faster w/ smaller wheels

SolPol 03-18-2004 12:49 PM

Man, why do the new hatches look so much like Focuses?

IALuder 03-18-2004 01:16 PM

ebpda9 03-18-2004 01:39 PM

u can tell hes running a little bit rich.. check out the rear bumper haha...

pdiggitydogg 03-18-2004 02:26 PM

Id want to run a little rich too...rather than lean on a turbo setup
better safe than sorry

I don't really like them!

nindoo 03-18-2004 02:51 PM

Dude what's that mounted in front of the intercooler what's the little pipe sticking out?


What kind hearders and exhaust do you think ther person used?

MAXed Out 03-18-2004 02:52 PM

It might be a tranny cooler or just a part of the intercooler!

94_AcCoRd_EX 03-18-2004 03:03 PM

Don't like the body, but that's a pretty nice looking install :thumbsup:

its a header!!! and the header is the manifold that comes with the trubo kit so there is no name for the manifold and the exhaust from the muffler looks like a cheap muffler..

pdiggitydogg 03-18-2004 03:30 PM

...its an intercooler sprayer
It sprays either co2 or n2o onto the intercooler to increase its effectiveness

someone told me that honda engines don't last long if you make them turbo.

He recommended a supercharger.

Did he know what he was talking about?

pdiggitydogg 03-18-2004 03:53 PM

ha...no, he doesnt know what he's talking about.
Either way its forced air and it needs tuning.
A sc will kill a motor just as fast as turbo if the air/fuel ratio isnt right.

Anyways, a turbo car will always be faster than a sc'd one...

VR4_Craver 03-18-2004 05:13 PM

I want that kit for my car.....it sucks being poor;(

He wouldn't be running a header, he would be running a turbo manifold.

The little oval pipe is a sort of a nitrous cooler.

That thing is fucking sweet. I'm impressed to say the least.
GReddy just released a turbo kit for the new SiR's (here in canada it's SiR), you get the Si.

IALuder 03-20-2004 01:28 PM

^yea they did. i saw it on the speed channel. expensive as hell. still a nice kit. smog legal for all 50 states i guess.

heh why would they relase it in Canada and make it 50 state legal? Did they already put it out down here? Stupid greddy....

drdingo21 03-21-2004 02:04 AM

anyone know what wheels these are? Im thingink about black wheels on my black car.

esthirteen 03-21-2004 02:29 AM

i woulk take that turbo kit off of the car its on and put it on the other hatch across the street. That one looks much better. I like the rims too. They look like rota slips. I don't know if i like the sprayer in front, it looks kind of wierd on the car.

VR4_Craver 03-21-2004 01:48 PM

JJ dont get black wheels on a black car....need something to clash with the color. Like a white car and gunmetal rims or red like Ground zero....just not black i dont think:no:

drdingo21 03-21-2004 02:49 PM

Yea but ive seen some bad ass black cars with black wheels and maybe a chrome lip... Le tme dig up some pics.

drdingo21 03-21-2004 02:54 PM

Nope

Those N2O coolers are pretty effective. I've seen an EK dyno and added 18 whp just with that. The reason why that car has such big wheels I'm assuming is due to an oversized intercooler. It appears to me that it is hanging pass the bottom of the front frame. I think those rims are the RJ DeVera signature ROJA. Overall, not bad. I think it's a little overdone.

.....and to add my 2 psi on the street legality of GReddy turbos......... FUK it! I just dont see why turbo a car and worry about street legality and smog. Having a turboed car...... let alone a turboed Honda and worrying about smog just doesnt makes sense to me. The purpose of the turbo is to add power. Adding power to a Honda and staying legal is battle that I will not even task myself........-end

Toyota Supra Twin Turbo is the sickest!!!

:) :) :)


Download the Big Supra Video of Kazaa.

Hulk Hogan has a green supra in the video.

Nice rims on that AUDI. If ur car is black get either black/gunmetal rims with chrome lip. It looks sick!
