I have heard good things about the HPI stuff.. the manifold I havent heard of anyone using it yet. The Kakumei one seems to be a copy of the Akamine engineering one. The Akamine one is almost twice the cost but is supposed to be an excellent manifold. I have decided to go with the Kakumei (KMD) manifold.. look for a review and write up to come in the next couple of weeks.
 
jeez..

Thats some nice specs on that upgrade..

I cant really tell due to the size of the pics...but does it come with an extension pipe so you can use the stock SR manifold? if it does...thats pretty sweet...if not...an excuse for a new one !

I think they use the ARMS turbo upgrade on their crate motors which cost a pretty penny (8500 for 345ps)
 
Good luck Shawn, can't wait too see it!!!

Another new toy I got from Jeremy at Accelerated Concepts.. My lovely new Bee R exhaust. I would've taken some pictures but it got a little too dark by the time I got home and installed it. It is a little louder than my Dual N1 used to be but it's a good loud.. a nice deep throaty sound.. I like it. :D A good day today.. I just got my KMD equal length manifold and it looks very nice. Can't wait to get this puppy installed. Here are a couple pics.
 
I didnt realize that little turbo wasnt so little :) Tomeii makes outstanding engine parts, I'm gonna be getting 264 cams and a metal HG soon to support my boosting habbit:rolleyes:

Can you post more pics of your car, I didnt know you had kouki's :)

Does anybody know what PS the T04E is rated for? Thats my new bitch!

You gotta come to Oki and come to Mizugama with us... Heres some pics of chris's car now.... He said you knew him...
 
I kinda lost track of this thread for a while. Damn, you're going to have to give us some reviews. I really wanna know how you like your exhaust (not just sound wise). I can't wait to see your car in Atlanta!!! :D That thing's going to be a beast. Maybe I'll ride my bike down there instead of my car, that way I don't feel so bad for being stock. :p

Brandon - Who plans not to do anything to his car so that he can mod his bike and get some track time instead.

Yeah.. I know Chris.. I talk to him every now and then on AIM. I will write some reviews once I get my turbo. As for the exhaust.. it is LOUD.. I couldnt even imagine how obnoxious it would sound on a N/A car, but I like it.. It has a deep throaty rumble that just sounds nasty. I will update this thread when I get my Turbo. :D
 
how loud is the dual n1 from apexi on a na car? i was planning to get it and put in on my na til i get my sr20

Looks like the Tomei turbo is a no go. After several weeks, Tomei is still having problems getting a turbo from IHI. They are refunding my money and I will have to go with something else. I have no idea which to go with now, any suggestions? I want something good for at least 350rwhp.


After some looking around.. it looks like I can get a Power Enterprises Turbo model PE1820sp rated for 420ps in a week or two. Or I can wait til the first week of december and get the GP sports turbo kit which put down 327 rwhp. Hmm.. decisions decisions.
