well, i can actually say that i have started my project now... i got the peakboost ramhorn ac and ps compatible manifold, downpipe, and dumptube. synapse bov, and defi boost gauge...money is definately an issue butoh well i guess thats the fun and in the end i will appreciate it more. im only 18 years old and am going to start college in the fall. anyways, i just wanted to post my pics. im going to be running a garrett t3/t4 turbo and a 38mm tial wastegate. i also am going to get cp pistons, eagle rods, skunk2 pro series intake manifold, some type of cams and cam gears, and of course a walbro 255, rc injectors, bdl fuel rail, etc. let me know if im on the right path and any suggestions or comments is appreciated. thanks! -Todd

i'm likin the manifold, nuff said

 

Lookin' real good. That Turbo badge screams "Steal Me" tho...

 

Awesome, yea, the turbo badge says "Steal me" but is this engine getting built?

 

Not trying to be a downer but theres not much room with a b series in an ek. I dont see a/c fitting with that manifold and the downpipe looks like its going to be quite tight as well. The wastegate port looks like its going to be hitting the a/c condenser big time.

 

Man you must got some crazy loot to be doing all this to your car in one swoop. Your only 18 too?

(envious)...

Very nice tho, thats the way to do it premo

That turbo you got specifically for your car right? You shouldn't have too many problems then. Be prepared for something some minor modifications tho. If your piecing part by par,t make measurements and make sure things will work.

 

This is true...AC will probably be a bit of an issue...the turbo may fit but the wastegate will probably get in the way...who knows, wait and findout

 

if it is, then i guess ill just have to dump it. that would suck but oh well. the guy a peakboost said it would work. . .with a 38mm wastegate. so im not sure. as far as it being "built" ((no, id say semi-built...)) im not boring it or anything like that. i might end up having it sleeved though just depending on the $$$. not sure it might be a while before its on because i want it all to go on at once and get it properly tuned and exactly how i want it. just a little project. . .and about that turbo badge, i dont think it will add any more to "steal me" other than the way my car looks as it is. it stands out from everyone else.

 

You'll probably just need a slimfan for the AC condensor and then you'll be good. You can definitely fit a turbo and AC in an EK.

 

yea, a 12"?
