Some of you may remember my build.

Well, I rebuilt my motor, kept it stock internally, and have been running 15PSI daily! 20k on the rebuild.

The OLD shit.

TO....

And, some randomness.

Thanks guys, the turbo is small, but not THAT small. FULL boost by 3500. (Redline is 6200) I'm happy with it. I'm not looking for MAJOR HP goals like you fuckers. This is just my daily driven 4 door OEM looking sedan.

The turbo is actually a Garrett though. I know how everyone says the GT17's are junk, but this one seems to be holding up. Have about 45k on it. It's also been ported too.

BTW, reason for flipping the turbo was because the down pipe kept burning the alternator and the A/C causing me to leak freon and other shit. I like my creature comforts.

nice and simple. Looks good but where are the fucking tits?

Thanks, they're in the general section. Look for "It's about TIME!"

i like those. i can never find one in the right colors thats not a automatic though. or a rusted out piece of shit. i dont get the gauges though, you are in america right?

what color is your valve cover painted ? fake aluminum or what hard to tell. are those stock wheels but painted too?

d112crzy · « **Reply #18 on:** June 25, 2009, 07:12:24 PM »

Looks like a prelude cluster maybe.

bigdaddyvtec · « **Reply #19 on:** June 25, 2009, 08:59:47 PM »

Yes its a prelude cluster.

How can that turbo even get to 15psi with that downpipe? It's so freaking small for your displacement.

BTW just because a turbo spools slow because of the rest the setup, doesn't mean it's big. The compressor map is what tells you how much power it can possibly make, and there's nothing save for nitrous that can fix that. The GT17 is a small turbo, I've held one in my hand. I think D15's have larger exhaust valves than the GT17's turbine exducer. Porting the inlet of the turbine HOUSING does very little, as it's all of 3% of the problem.

Other than the baby turbo, looks pretty good. Judging from the FMU, you've come a long way. Sorry to see some nog cut your shifter lever in half, that sucks.

The downpipe is 2.5 inches all the way. That's what the turbo's exhaust port was designed for. I will be opening it up to three inches one day soon.

A/R ratio is .48 on exhaust and .49 on cold side.

Here's what the exhaust side used to look like, just so others know.

I will say though, it pulls great torque.

And onto the shifter; I cut it short; I know, it looks gay or W.E. shoulda bought a forbidden one, but hey, I shortened the throw too, and not with one of those cheesy ching chong adapters.

your shit really makes my accord look like shit. i wish i had the ambition to make my engine bay look that clean...

Does it make boost at idle?

haha no, I see boost come in at 2k.

dvst8r · « **Reply #25 on:** June 26, 2009, 06:51:35 PM »

I thought for sure it would see boost at idle, I am almost disappointed now.

Sorry for the disappointments. I'm happy with it's overall peak performance and torque. It pulls hard through every gear.
