    Akuma HT65 Stage 2 Turbo upgrade!

    You can't compare this thing to a 2871 or 3071. who here has paid or would pay 700.00 for 70hp? well, that's how much more my 2871 makes over this turbo at 24psi. add meth, and my 380whp will become 400+ at 28psi. This is NOT a substitute for a larger, ball bearing turbo, but an option for...

    Thanks buddy! I have never taken a temp reading, but I'm sure it works. I especially love seeing the heat pour out of it at a stop light. With my exmani, I'm sure the heat would have eventually baked the paint off my hood! I am going to fab up a hinged flapper under the hood to close it off...

    dude your next mod should be a shop vac! jk my hatch area looks like that constantly, and I always drag shop dust into the car. Impossible to keep clean working in a body shop!

    No, I didn't paint this one. I manage a body shop, so I have a kick ass painter whenever I need him. I can paint, but not nearly as good as my painter, and I wanted it to be perfect. There are about 7 colors in the black mica, so color match is hard when you're only painting one panel. I'll...

    If you can, get a log with mass air g/s. Having the smallest of BT options, I would like to see how much more air the really BT guys are moving than me! Good luck turning that beast over this weekend :)

    Assembling custom exhaust

    unless you're installing a 3" dp, you'll get nothing by doing this. You're better off with a resonator delete to get a nice sound. remove the 2 behind the cat, leaving the lil guy by the tip. sounds badass and it's way easier. but if you insist on a 3", go with a magnaflow located behind the...

    Haha, I know what you mean about the other boards. On the same day of joining, my fast tapering boost issue was identified and is now sorted out. People were really quick to help out, which was killer. And about the fun factor, hell yes. I know it won't make the max power of really BT cars...

    tell me a little more about your 3.25" MAF housing. Is it 3.25" all the way back to the turbo? After playing around with different IWG's, I am now holding 23psi with my 2871, but maxing out my MAF voltage. I'm trying to find the best route to go to correct this while staying with the AP for a...

    hahaha I feel bad for that fork! Thanks gents, I felt like I was neglecting the body for a long time after draining myself on the motor. It was time for a little more show. For oaklandopen, I thought about the quad exhaust, but the way the rb cbe is set up, I would have to destroy it to run...

    I decided to mold the scoop to the hood with fiberglass so it is seamless, and repaint. I also made a rear lip spoiler out of a Toyota Prius front bumper I had laying around the shop!

    What have you done to your MS3 today?

    It is quite nice on the v1.07 maps to see load in the 240's! Having no cap has helped me out tremendously. You're already pushing a lot of tq, so let's hope your bottom end is up to the challenge for more.
