good luck hitting 160whp at 6psi with no engine management ;)

In my opinion here persons should suggest their opinion but they have to let others do what the person thinks is the best for them and their motor.
I don't know much about boosted motors with no ic but in this case I suggest at least a top mount ic like one of the pics attached.

The mainfold is going for $400 which within days will be inputted on ebay so if any of you is interested feel free to contact.

Well im not worried if I dont hit it, its just a benchmark that I want to hit...I am not saying that engine management wont be down the road. It wont be on the car when its first put together...just added as a later upgrade for more HP.

The point is to have somewhere to start before deciding to upgrade

expect about 130whp

but i'll applaud you if you DO hit the ##

for the money, why not buy the HKS kit?

I also saying this now, to clear it up. I am not intending to make monster HP with this car, I will leave that for my next car that I aquire.

My intentions are to make this car a bit faster than what it is. Sporty-ecnobox if you must...Kinda an oxymoron tho.

so, $2500 will buy you a kit that you can use 90% of, and sell off what you don't end up using.

sounds like a better plan to me than piecing together something that you'll STILL have to have a custom downpipe made for

HKS has a kit available for the US? or are you making reference to the Xb kit?

i'm referring to the xB HKS kit.

[Sabretooth]

Ya the XB kit I am finding is a bit different
Even then...its only $2600, not bad for that idea that you can get rid of what you dont use and make some extra cash on it.

Find it cheaper than what I did, and you get a star sticker!

that's not the xB kit.

that's the RSX kit.

the HKS site has the RSX kit listed as the "stock photo" for bolt on turbo kits. Lots of places use the wrong photo. (lazy, don't care).

I found a Greddy Xb kit for about the same price, heres the pic...

[Russelt3hPirate]

HKS kit comes with a replacement oil pan which is ftw in my book. :)

[Sabretooth]

ty for clearing that up, if someone did buy this, they might be pissed when they feel they are missing a bunch of stuff...

If Morgan can get an xB supercharger kit to work fine, you can get that to work fine.

PLEASE BUY SOMETHING IMMEDIATELY LOL
