Thanks Random for posting the pictures.
1. The car was never yellow, what you are seeing is premier before painting, my mechanic crashed the car testing the turbo system. Fortunately the Zefiro kit was not installed so I took the "opportunity" to do so. It needed some work to make it fit properly.
2. The engine is running at 9lbs boost at this time very smoothly. In some of the crashed vehicle you can see the HKS EVC valve which I will reconect one of these days. I plan to keep 9 as low, 12 at high and special 14-16 for a special setting for 30 seconds. I am still finding out what is max. Still considering water or meth injection to prevent predetonation.
3. It did not show the rear wing since it was being painted but I chose to keep the original tail (just my taste), Also is not showing the Pioneer face, the Weapon R filter and the PIAA Xl1100 small spot lights inside the lateral air dams which are already installed.
4. I used the piping from Alpine and then used Thermotec to insulate the turbines and all the piping, it reduced the engine room temperature radically.
5. It revs very nice and the sound of the turbine and blow off is great and reduces lag during transition (change gears or deceleration)
6. The proyect will continue towards looking for boost. Still some tricks left.
Hey guys thanks a lot for your comments and by the way the turbo timer was a couple of hundred and it is very easy to install. What kind of boost are you running?
Now costs:
Alpine system 2000, EVC 500,gauges (autometer) about 200, Turbo timer about 200, zefiro kit about 1600, Piaa lights about 200,cat back and muffler about 300 est. installation 1000 to 2000, Eiback springs rims and tires abour 1200. Aprox total $7500.
Regards Mario
