Just dropped my car off for a single upgrade!
Finally I have all the parts and money to complete my engine. I just dropped it off at Bonzai Racing in Indiana for a single turbo upgrade. Bonzai racing is going to put together a custom fuel system with 850/1600 injectors and supra fuel pump. The turbo is an A-Spec 500r with a 1.00, and will be on my stock port motor with 2mm seals. I am using a power fc, greddy bov, hks twin power, greddy type s boost controller, blitz fmic, N1 catback, high flow cat. I am pretty pumped, since I have had the turbo kit for a couple of months. Once it is done I will post some more stuff about it.

...and any idea on what sort of HP increase you'll receive?

Yeah it is Banzai racing. Yeah that was my car there. Are you the guy getting the rx6 turbo put on? That should be pretty fun for you! Hopefully I am a little above 400 rwhp. Even if I am not though, it will still feel a lot faster to me. I already had all the boltons and ran 14 psi sometimes. I am so f'in pumped up about my car, I can't wait to drive it.

Good day friends stealth |
If anyone wants pics so far they are on banzai's website. http://www.banzairacing.net/ go to gallery, the peter's vr and you are there.

congrats man. Only thing i can say is be very carefull. Single turbo is a whole new animal and 400 rwhp is no joke. I would suggest run off the wastegate on your turbo until you get really used to it, then turn it up gradually. Good luck and have fun!!!!

They said tomarrow the fuel kit should all be in and he has the whole day to work on it, so hopefully they will get a lot done.

Banzai racing put the uim, greddy elbow, and bov on. They are trying very hard to get the car back to me by this weekend, but there have been a few set backs like no O2 bung in the down pipe. All in all though it is starting to look like an engine again. I am planning on taking it to the dragstrip if it gets done by the weekend and weather permitting. I will keep putting updates. :suitdance

a turbo blanket as well would be a wise investment...I recommend both, before your car is delievered.

Nice setup. What brand of turbo is that? What numbers can that turbo push?

You're going to love it and your car will rip when it's done. :D

Was the 500R kit supposed to have an O2 bung in the down pipe or do you have to specify you want one when ordering?
