Thanks chef!! long time no talk!! I hope the S2000 is treating you well!

 

go for it. your building anyways right? lol. you can always turn it back down to 8psi for your commutes.

 

Ill do 9, we will see lol. Im still waiting for Vince to get back to me for my retune. I know they are super busy. I guess I just gotta be patient.

 

Just got of the phone with vince! He set me up for monday! the 7th!

 

post some videos!

 

i think this thread fails. where are *lots of pix* as the title suggests?

shoulda said *lots of excuses* HAHHA
j/k LOL

 

No you're not.

 

loll ... Im dying to post pictures and videos... I had to wait 2 weeks to get a reschedule and fixing a couple of things.. I wanted to be completely finished before I can give my 100% full review and post all the pictures of the build and videos... Patience Rich, patience lol..

Its not over!

Chris- yes he is haha

 

ya, i thought the install is over.....pics or ban

 

owned... lol..

 

Vas, I'm dying to see some dyno numbers. Hopefully you get those posted up tomorrow!

 

Leaving tomorrow at 5 am!.. I got the video camera this time!!

 

Vas did you heatwrap all your pipings? That might help with the spool. I ordered some ebay headers and heat wrap. The sts guys use the heatwrapping to help spool up and prevent heatloss going to the turbine. Good luck at the tuners tomorow. I'm out of state handlin some family issues that came up a few weeks ago if not I wouldof been there beasting takin vids and pics.

 

I did heat wrap them but I didnt do a good job at it... So I might take em out..

Sasha's arent wrapped and he sees good spoolup

 

the distance from headers to turbo is about 1/10th of that of the sts kit so the difference of heatwrap won't be significant.

 

yeah I know I wont even feel a difference.. I might take em out tomorrow.. they smell funky too lol

 

i have my headers wrapped but only to reduce temps in the engine bay. I probably wo'nt wrap the rest of them though.


the smell goes away after a while vas. did you use silicone sealant on them? mine smoked and stunk for about a week.

 

Food for thought that's all.

 

The exhaust length from header to turbine is coparable to the top mount turbo kits. Crossover is the same, and then my pipes run to the back where the top mount pipes run to the front. I measured this once, and the distance is the same, I think my are a bit shorter, but who is really going to care...

The advantage is piping after the turbo. With the top mount you run the exhaust the entire lenght of the car, where with this set up it is only half that.

 

and that is why i love you.. I mean the kit ... but yeah lol.. when the kit is all put together... people will be VERY surprised at how short the length of the piping is. no where near!!! the sts... I bet my money its shorter than the top mounts.
