This was already posted on Rick's Pos site. Figured it should make the move with me.

Turbo Setup

CDM 60-1 professionally balanced and rebuilt with good shat.(A Buddy who works at a turbo shop hooked me up)
Stainless top mount
3" downpipe
Already has 3" exhaust
Massive CDM intercooler.(Probably overkill but I only paid 50 bucks for it so whatever)
Free CDM 44mm wastegate.(HKS style)
2.5" charge piping
AN Feed and Return
Water meth injection

Engine and management

BP05
GTX Intake Manifold
GTX Cams
B6T Rods
Wiseco 9.1 pistons
550cc RX7 injectors
Megasquirt 2
AEM Wideband

The car

Old setup

Shitty Ripper Vid of old setup

What I got done so far

Bling Blinged the compressor housing

3" V-band Conversion

Put some bigger studs in the collector

Stainless Migged Top mount

Here is some pics of the turbo shit all cleaned up.

Cooking pot heat shield ftw

Durafixed V-bands

Some of the other junk I have collected so far

I decided not to use the CDM HKS wastegate. Leaks at the wastegate suck ass. V-band ftw

box O bends

Tank for Water/Meth. Anybody thats lookin for a tank. These are solid as fuck and they are only 20 bucks on e-bay

Misc fittings and oil lines

I thought these were pretty cool. 12pt hex head nut. To solve some of your clearance woes.

Hopefully my gasket kit is here tomorrow. If so, motor should be in by the weekend.

Stock record for a D16 is at least 394whp, that's all I recall atm. ()

What are your power goals now? >450whp I'd bet? DEFINATELY would be a sleeper.

I like!

Migged mani, cooking pot heat shield and ic monts FTW!

patsmx5 · « **Reply #8 on:** March 09, 2009, 02:01:48 PM »

solid build man. Only concern with using vbands for everything is there's no room for anything to flex when the motor torques. So don't solid mount everything too hard cause something has to have some give.

Turbo BP 1.8 FTMFW!!!

HiProfile · « **Reply #24 on:** March 16, 2009, 01:57:55 PM »

For some reason all the SS pots I've seen on ebay are expensive, or have some stupic copper mix BS. Anyone have a good idea for a cheap all-SS pot, besides a rumage sale?

Lowerit · « **Reply #25 on:** March 16, 2009, 03:59:39 PM »

If you have one close by

Ikea.
