Nice man im over on WFC and see you posting. Just a heads up they MIGHT close your thread down if you dont actually do work.

Those innovate products wont let you down! I have the wideband and turbotimer in one unit and its awesome.

How much was that FMIC?

statickx991 · 03-23-2011, 01:10 AM

lets see this kitty come together

c_mancuyas8 · 03-23-2011, 01:14 AM

Mounted fmic

Cutting bumper support to fit fmic

Pretty damn close fit

Cut holes and ran the intercooler piping for test fit

had to rear mount battery for cold side

c_mancuyas8 · 03-23-2011, 01:16 AM

Gauges are in

matts13vert · 03-23-2011, 01:19 AM

oh hell yea work is being done!!

c_mancuyas8 · 03-23-2011, 01:19 AM

My whole setup as of now is t28 rb25 turbo, fmic, sr20 370cc injectors, walbro fuel pump, and if it ever gets here apexi neo to tune adjust my a/f. My goal for now is 220-230 whp till i can build the bottom end.

lenox_240 · 03-23-2011, 01:27 AM

i like the way u install the gauges man, nice i wish i could work on my car like that, displaced 3 lower back discs cant do shit now.

.

c_mancuyas8 · 03-23-2011, 01:27 AM

Oh and fmic was only like 200 shipped

Damn thats pretty fucken cheap! i might just get one.

Im local to their shop so maybe no shipping for me? haha ill call them.

Also you might have a problem with the turbo elbow clearing your steering shaft. I saw pics on here somewhere that elbow was up against the steering link. heat and a hammer should fix it!

Keep us updated this looks promising!

mkezzo16 · 03-23-2011, 01:46 AM

what kind of manifold is that..i was thinkin of using a t25 turbo from an rb20 since my frend has it laying around

c_mancuyas8 · 03-23-2011, 01:48 AM

gotta love hammer diy's! kinda like my fav baseball bat fender roll true story lmao! my biggest issue so far is running the water lines but i have a couple theorys to try out. this weekend is supposed to be the moment of truth so we'll see!

Matt, do you know what kinda numbers your making on your setup?

Its a cheap one off ebay (dna motorsports) lol i had to buy adapter for it bc it said it was for t3 flange but has t25

im not sure about the rb20's but the rb25's have t3 flange. Overall its decent for the price though.

mkezzo16 · 03-23-2011, 12:45 PM

oh ok..yea rb20's are t3 as well

c_mancuyas8 · 03-23-2011, 05:53 PM

ok yeah i thought so. I dont know how you feel about ordering "off brand" parts but cxracing and isis make decent stuff it can be kinda hit or miss though

GroundPerformance · 03-23-2011, 06:05 PM

You should consider just using an SR T28 and other T2 based turbos. The turbo and turbo elbow will not fit right without modification to the manifold and turbo elbow. Although, I'm interested on the outcome should you stick with your current setup. GL!

c_mancuyas8 · 03-23-2011, 06:24 PM

^ Thanks man. I wanted the sr t28 but for lack of funding i went with the rb. Yeah i can already tell that im goin to have some fun fitting every thing correctly. Im definately goin to have to clock the turbo bc oil feed is on the side and not the top

and ordered some reducers yesterday bc of how the hot pipe runs to the elbow. Its definately not been a weekend project hahaha. I just hope its ready for IA atl

c_mancuyas8 · 03-24-2011, 07:38 PM

Ordered this kit last weekend should be here soon! hopefully in time for ia atl

c_mancuyas8 · 03-26-2011, 01:11 AM

Maxed out front coils today, put 8mm spacers in rear, and got all my turbo electronics functioning - Apexi neo hks turbo timer innovate wideband and boost heres pics

Front wheel

rear super flush

c_mancuyas8 · 04-03-2011, 11:37 PM

Unfortunately my turbo process is going along very slowly not having my own garage really sucks! But on a positive note my body kit came in heres some of the finished project.

heres couple pics from wfc meet @ eurowise in charlotte

Zach-sr · 04-04-2011, 11:55 AM

Wow, Looks excellent.

Redmonkey · 04-04-2011, 12:02 PM

What did you use to cut the holes for the intercooler pipes to go through? Looks like perfect circles.

MidwestMyriad · 04-04-2011, 12:47 PM

My guess would be...........HOLE saw

I actually used a hydrolic hole punch if that make sense. Ive never seen one till that weekend but yes the holes we cut were awesome!

Looks like this

Redmonkey · 04-04-2011, 11:00 PM

Haha, I would've got a hydraulic hole punch if I heard of it before using a sawzall for making my ka-t intercooler holes. Mine looks like rippled potato chips. Keep up the great work!
