Re: DIY Turbo kit !

Wil, would it be possible to run 400 with my set up? Using the 440 injectors, my water to air intercooler, and the FIC. With a stock motor. Thanks, Frank

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

Wil, thanks for answering my questions over the weekend. The y-pipe, muffler, and turbo are on. This looks great so far, especially with the polished muffler. My charge pipes will be here on Friday, and then off to the polisher. 2 weeks from now the intercooler with the charge pipes will be installed. The intercooler looks nice all polshed with the silver Tial BOV, sitting on top of it. Frank

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

Wil, not sure how to post pics. Another prime member is kind enough to post the pics of my replica nsx-r seats ( KITE GARAGE), on here for me. Maybe I can e-mail you pics from my phone and then you could post them up. The kit looks very nice. Frank

Chris, thanks. Swing by after the nsx stock, my house isn't that far away. The car probably wont be ready for nsx stock. Ill give you a shout later. Frank

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

Almost there

installed the air filter and lower charge pipe (posted new pictures under my thread in the FI forum)

Started it up and everything works as intended- no leaks!

I had to fake the upper charge pipe as mine is getting a bung attached for the meth jet as I messed up my thread.

Be ready for tune soon.

Also got my rear valence in (2002+) - looks great.

THANKS WILL FOR ALL THE HELP!!!

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

For those too lazy to look this up


As long as you use the laser platinum ( platinum on both sides) you will be fine , a lot of people like to run the coppers , but they are a bit more trouble to change , so a longer wearing plug is welcomed.
As far as heat range , you can run a 6 if you are going to run meth , if not run a 7 . Incidentally , the OEM NSX-R plug is a heat range 7.

**IMPORTANT**

You want to make sure to gap the plugs to .028" to avoid "blowing out the spark"

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

Rich, very nice job on the install. Can't wait charge pipes and other parts will be here tommorow. Frank

 

[angus]

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

can't wait to see your setup frank

 

[Frank Spano]

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

Wil, me either. The package with the charge pipes will arrive today. They are getting dropped off at the polisher tommorow morning. I think we can install the intercooler this weekend. Also, taking off my valve covers this weekend to put on new gaskets and cam plugs, thanks SOS for the parts. While the covers are off they are getting painted the wrinkle rad. Next, weekend Bryan, and Chris will be at my house so they will shoot some pics. Frank
