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.

No I don't, but they are going to keep me updated pretty much day to day with picks. They seem to be pretty good about it. Whatever they send me I will post on this thread.

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.

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!!!!

get rid of that hi-flow cat and put on an rx7store resonated midpipe. You're going to need he flow and you aren't going to pass emissions anyway with that hi-flow cat and single turbo LOL

We don't have emissions testing in Indiana, just corn. I planned on getting a resonated midpipe and swapping in some racing beat duals sometime soon. Anyone want to let me borrow some money? lol This winter I am going to get my car in tip top shape with a gtc front bumper, sideskirts, put stock rear bumper back on, vented hood, possibly suspension, rb duals, res mp. I have already put more into my car than I bought it for, which is something I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD DO.
