Your feedback and comments are welcome :)

[Nebster]

was tinking about doing the same thing. what axle back u gonna use?

[Krdshrk]

Keeping my TRD axelback

[Nebster]

ewww oh well to each their own

[Krdshrk]

I prefer the sound of the TRD. I've heard the Tsudo. It sounds like crap IMO.

[sarsippius]

Nice Nick. Cant wait to see it in action!

[Krdshrk]

If you come the 16th to Bazookas you should be able to see it :D

[noTCed]

Your goal is very reachable i got 262whp on my GReddy kit at 10psi on a "heartbreaker" dyno with shitty AZ gas. but i would definatly switch your exhaust to at least a cat back system with forced induction

[Krdshrk]

Yes - I'm fairly limited by my transmission though. At about 250 WHP the tranny will start slipping, or so I'm told.

[Krdshrk]

Install is planned for next saturday (12/9).

I've got everything lined up now!

[skatg2k3]

haha, u have posted this on 2 forums... and OF COURSE i read both

...i wonder why i am reading so much about the greddy turbo and autos...?

[Krdshrk]

Actually, this is on 4... no wait 5 forums...
Here, SL, YourSciontC, NRG, and on the RedvsBlue forums too hehe.

You're coming with on the 9th right?

[skatg2k3]

yup, i have arranged to get out of work, just so i can be with you and karl for the big install!

[06xb30]

I cant wait to hear the out come on this , it should be sweet ..

[Krdshrk]

I can't wait either.. It's all coming together!

[tCMetaLFReaK]

You wanna sell me an exhaust that you think sounds horrible? :lol:

[Krdshrk]

I don't want too loud of an exhaust. It looks and sounds too different for my liking :P

[BSP DINO]

the tsudo exhaust is not bad, i have i on my tc, before i put my headers it was a nice deep tone no rasp at all, once i put headers and no cat, damn i rasp for a while but it sounds like a racing machine, the only thinkg because the way its bent, i dont know if you can put any other axel back on it, beecaseu i tried witht he stock axel back and did not fit.

[Krdshrk]

Eh - it's gonna be installed at a shop with a lift. They have their own metal fab department too. If something needs to be modified to fit, they'll make it fit :D

[skatg2k3]

gotta love ripp, eh?

[Krdshrk]

Turbo is in and tuned! I'm still missing a couple things though (BOV, Boost Controller, etc). But, for the most part, it's in.

[FrankenScion]

The turbo looks awesome, but the Gretchen Wilson lisence tag border ruins it........lol.

[Krdshrk]

Hey! Don't knock Gretchen! She's hawt!

[noTCed]

What PSI are you running at? 8.5?

[Krdshrk]

Oops forgot to say.

215 WHP/ 205 WTQ @ 7 PSI.

[skatg2k3]

gonna bump up the boost after u get the install done right?

[noTCed]

Oops forgot to say.

215 WHP/ 205 WTQ @ 7 PSI.

wierd are you just using the greddy map?

that's what i had on the greddy map i managed to get 230whp at 7psi with a good tune and 262whp at 10psi

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j274/noTCed/badass%20phase%202/IMG_0948.jpg

red = 7psi greddy tune
blue = 7psi good tune
green = 10psi

same type of dyno you were using. These read about 10% under just to let you know "heartbreaker" dyno's

[skatg2k3]

hmmmmm... and it appears to be the same type of dyno...

remember that nick is missing some pretty important pieces... ill wait till it fully installed b4 i make an opinion

[noTCed]

I have a BOV and he doesn't but he has more exhaust work I just have a cat back

[FrankenScion]

Do you have a 5 speed? I think Nicks is an automatic.

[noTCed]

Do you have a 5 speed? I think Nicks is an automatic.

yeah i do but that really shouldn't come into play until around the 250whp mark when his tranny starts to slip.

I the axleback portion of his exhaust may be a tad more restrictive then mine

its hard to say there are way to many variables in turbo's we could have the exact setup on the same dyno and put down different numbers

[skatg2k3]

Do you have a 5 speed? I think Nicks is an automatic.

you THINK nick has an auto?

:mrviolet:did the title (Greddy & Auto) give you that clue?:mrviolet:

:sorry:busting the boss' balls:sorry:

[FrankenScion]

:doh:



:rofl:

[Krdshrk]

The difference in our 2 cars is definitely the transmission. Auto tC's lose a lot of horsepower and torque over the manual tC's. The tranny and torque converter steals a lot of it.

[Nebster]

so what you think so far. just curious what you think, i'm thinking about doing it with my tax return but we'll see how it goes.

[Krdshrk]

It's gonna be tough going back to a N/A car... unless my next one has a lot more power. I love how it pulls, love the sound, love being able to walk Civic SI's :D
