The Real Turbo Thread

The other thread was not very active so this is a new one to get more response. Headers can be done with dyno or track results.
The cost will be apx.$500-10people or less, $400 or less for 20 people and more than that maybe 300 ish. No promises yet, but if some one can save me the time and money of driving to Denver for exhaust manifolds I will cut the cost of your headers. DV8- you have first dibs. I know you have the precious. PM me for my address. I could use my car as the labrat but I would rather have it running for the time being.

thanks guys for your support!
kyle

Post below on how definite you are on buying so we can get the best rates. I need to give this man the bus. for his hookup!

man kyle seems like you are doing good everytime i read this tread i am impressed over and over again...

all i wanted to know is, are you done with you kit yet and have you started to "build" a new kit yet?

i was wondering if there is any way once you are building the kit can you take picks of the items.... pipes and stuff i don't really care cause i was wondering if i could have a visual so that i may be able to see if i would liek that part in my car...

simply do to the fact that i need to go with a certain theme for my car...

THANKS A BUNCH!!!

FYI if you cared i just got my car out of the shop for the interior and i am about to put it in for the exterior again... and if i manage my money right i should be putting it in the shop for the turbo soon and getting my bike shortly after!!! ahahahaha...

i still have teh price break downs so i just want to see the pics... if you have the time... if anything i can always email you.....

Guys, I really have to appologize for the delay. I have done everything in my power to make sure I would meent my deadline. First the machine shop, and now I can not find my friend. He just had a kid but said he would still build us kits. I have been calling him atleast 2 times a week and have not had any response for a few weeks. I am still trying but please be patient. I still hope to get this off the ground even if I have to find new help.
More updates/pics to come. I do have dyno runs for the new car but the sheets look crazy. Sorry fellas, but I will try my best to continue this project!
Cheerio, Kyle

Wil, lets see some pics of that interior.

Take your time, just make sure he does them right. I know how much of a pain a woman can be after having a kid too, he's probably on lock-down for the time being.

About what you said before about pushing 250 whp, that's a realistic number for somebody wanting to drive it daily. Luckily, the Legend is not my daily driver, so I plan on pushing the limits a little bit more. Let me know about what we talked about throught PM.

Yea, I will keep you posted if and or when I get ahold of him. I am sure he is busy with the lady and baby.

250whp is for 5.8psi on my daily driver. I think that we can go higher with better management and a few other add ons like acky injection. Limits are to be exceeded!
THanks for the patience guys!

Dv8 · Mar 1, 2006

Trust me theres no need to post it, it makes no sence to us dyno jet users.

Joe E - Florida · Mar 1, 2006

well, I just want to see the dyno then

sr79labrat · Mar 1, 2006

You want a vid of my dyno? I did get one but it is on the ugly red step child!
I dont know if that was a worth while dyno or not.
Kyle

swift · Mar 1, 2006

yeah guys i have his pics...and they are confusing as heck..so kyle said he would talk to shop. These are NOT dyno graphs..just data.

91TYPII · Mar 5, 2006

Hey labrat you are gonna try and sell this kit correct?
If so what are you including with it.

intercooler, injectors, what type of turbo, ect......

See www.labratinc.com

There is a dyno run on the website where my new numbers are higher and actually less boost is being pushed with the new setup. 5.8psi-7.2psi.

you are still the man... pm sent...

sr79labrat · Mar 27, 2006

Hey Guys,

Installed the ESM and for the most part the install went smooth. However, I am still wondering why I am seeing a check engine light. At first the light did not appear even in boost. Later it did but I dont know if a wire fell loose or what happened. maybe the engine entered open loop and the reading was still off. Any ideas from you guys?
The help is appreciated!
KTW

Just how bad do you want these headers?

For sure 100% (fo sheizzy my neazzy)

probably 75%+ depends on price and gains (holla)

if i falls into some money maybe 50/50%(you just crazy like a woman and don tknow what you want)

cool but cant afford (dats wack)25%-
