KevinAccord, what trim turbo did u go with? And do you know the measurements of your intercooler? Also, what size piping did u get/ 2.5" or 3"? I'm trying to put a list together to start piecing together a turbo kit and I am going mostly by your list in the "need ur opinion on f23 turbo" thread. Thanks

well, bought an universal turbo kit from ebay... the turbo was a T3/T4 hybrid (great turbine! very happy with it and very powerfull) , about the intercooler, i believe the measurements are: 28'' x 7'' x 2.5''.... , and about the piping, well, didn't do that yet since i haven't used my car a lot... just a bit... (waiting 4 the dyno!) but im planning on getting the 2.5" but i would preffer the 3" better, but I would have to make it myself, since the catbacks 4 our car's only come in a max or 2.5.... if u find a 3" catback 4 our cars let me know!!!!!!!!! well that's pretty much it... still thinking on doing some welding and making my own piping... but im really tired of making custom stuff 4 my car... i need some rest!!!!! let me know if it was useful...

sorry I took so long 2 write back... my car was stolen but since it was not completly set, they couldn't take it far b4 it ran out of gas, found it 4 weeks l8r in an old farm about 30miles from where i live... thanksfully, the thieves where so stupid they only took my audio system, and didn't open the hood 2 see the turbo system, and could take the rims either (i can't believe they didn't feel or heard the system working!) well, need to do a little paint job first and some new tires...(they were flat and broken), l8r, ill take it 2 the dyno to get it set... will come back soon!

Nice time bro. Is that your first time ever running at a drag strip??? I've never ran before. My Honda is kinda on the backburner right now because I just bought a '96 nissan 240sx. Just doin a little work on it because it's my new daily driver. I was gonna do the SR20det swap on it but i'm just gonna stick with the ka motor save some gas(and money).I also just put a remanufactured motor in a '97 mits. eclipse I have. That bit** cost me $1500!!!! Having some body work done on it now. But I did just sell 2 cars and made around $500 on each of them so I've got a little bit of dough.

Haha very funny.. I've got love for all the imports. I think everyone would like to have a rear wheel drive 240sx to mess around with (hint:drifting)...haha...I never shoulda started on the eclipse!!! I'm loaded in that bit**. I'm gonna try to sell it pretty quick because I need the money. Yeh i've been really busy at school and at work. Haven't been online very much. I'm trying to make time though.
