Can anyone familiar with XS-Engineering's kit tell me if it' POSSIBLE to keep the factory airpump? The turbo itself seems to sit low and away enough for it to be close. Anyone tried it?

Thanks!

 

Its not possible to keep the airpump. It would get in the way of the turbo.

If you are wanting to keep the airpump either the Apexi or the HKS kits will work.

Does a TO4S compressor housing fit on a FD without beating in the cars frame???

STEPHEN

 

Yes. The manifold will determine how close it will be on either the LIM or frame side, but other than that fits fine.

 

SO as long as the exhaust manifold is designed well there is enough room.....cool, I just wanted to make sure it would fit without me taking a hammer to it lol

Stephen, are you abandoning the BNRs and going single? I gave in and ditched the hybrid twins....went with the T04s with standard 60-1 wheel. Might go with the 62-1 wheel when this one needs a rebuild (hopefully never, but you know how things go).

Well, I wouldnt really say "abandoning". I'm just wanting to go to the next level. I was making over 400rw on pump gas and now I'm wanting to get more like 475+rwhp on pump gas.

I'm going to be working with BNR for a new turbo setup....he can actually build any turbo or create something custom by mixing and matching brands, ect

I think the only one that required that was the huge Holset from SR motorsports or something.. It was a monster!

 

Yeah, tell me about it.

I noticed in your sig your running a SR turbo. How much power are your making around 17psi? When does it start to pull? 4000, 5000, 6000???

Thanks,
STEPHEN

 

Well, I'm just anouther poser without a dyno sheet. It is running, but I'm yet to get it tuned. When it is running, I'm not planning on running more than 10-11psi, as I still have the stock engine with 48k miles on it. My good friend, Rob Golden, said he would work with me on price, if I had a good rotating mass. So, I'm not going to push this motor to much. At the moment, I'm trying to scrape enough $$ together to buy some dyno time, then I'll post the sheets for shure. Even if it lets go on the dyno, I'll post em. CJ

 

I had a chance to drive it tonight again. I noticed that the car seemed to spool about the same as my old non-seq setup. I breifly hit around 7psi/4,500rpms tonight with some mild driving. The car realy needs to be tuned. It loads up at idle, and I'm guessing leans out up top. CJ
