DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wait for Kpro to come out for your car first. After it comes out talk to Todd or Ken at Peakboost and they will hook you up. I can forsee alot of companies building kits for the Si's as soon as they have a proper tuning solution figured out.

I just might have too because I'll have some extra money laying around. I recieved an graduate assistantship, so now I don't have to worry about paying for tution with the money I saved up. So, now all I hear in my head is TURBO! I not going to rush anything yet though because I forgot all about study abroad next summer.

ok guys, after a really really long wait. I finally had my custom build turbo kit delivered to me yesterday. I still have to buy a few more parts before I install it but here is a little teaser of the stuff that I got:


Here is a breakdown of the kit:

T3/44 Sidemount stainless steel Turbo Manifold (Coated by HPC)
44mm Dumptube (Coated by HPC)
3" Stainless 2 pc downpipe w v-band (Coated by HPC)
Garrett GT3076 turbo (.82 AR, .60trim, S-cover)(Exhaust housing Coated by HPC)
Tial 44mm Wastegate
Tial 50mm Blow off valve
PWR 6" x 23.5" x 3" vertical flow intercooler core(total height is 12") (anodized black)
2.5" Aluminum chargepipe kit with PWR Silicon Couplers & t-bolt clamps (Piping powder coated black)
Steel braided oil/feed return lines
All installation hardware, gaskets, & heatwrap
K&N Intake filter


Besides these parts that came with the kit I am going to be running the following:

Hondata Kpro
RC 750cc injectors
GM 3bar map sensor
GM boost control solenoid
Peakboost Vac Block
Peakboost battery tray
Odyssey battery
Innovative Motor Mounts
CC stage 4 clutch
Oil sandwich plate adapter
hondata intake manifold gasket
Thermal 3" exhaust
NKG BKR8EIX plugs

I know that I am forgetting some of the other stuff but this is what I remember off the top of my head.

They shouldn't be too hard to find, all my friends are selling theirs and moving onto getting S2000's, lol

My boy is actually trading in his car tomorrow in New Orleans. The stealership is only giving him $9k for an 03 or an 04 and its still in good condition minus the front Mugen bumper needs to be repared because something falling out of a truck on the Hwy. The bumper is not real bad though but I couldn't drive it like that, I am too anal about my cars, lol

I am getting anxious, I am starting my install in 3 weeks

I updated the mod list to as follows:


Go Fast goodies:

•Hondata Kpro Engine Management System
•Peakboost Turbo kit:
o Equal Length, sidemount stainless steel t3 flanged turbo manifold (high temp coated by HPC)
o 2-piece 3” stainless steel down pipe w/ all v-band connections (high temp coated by HPC)
o 2” stainless steel dump tube (high temp coated by HPC)
o Garrett GT3076 turbo (.82 ar exhaust housing, S-cover compressor, 60 trim wheel, exhaust housing high temp ceramic coated by HPC)
o Tial 44mm wastegate
o Tial 50mm BOV
o Vertical flow intercooler with PWR core rated up to 750hp (Anodized black)
o 2.5” Aluminum intercooler piping (bead rolled ends, powder coated black)
o PWR 4-ply silicon intercooler couples w/ T-bolt clamps
o Stainless steel braided oil feed and return lines
o All heat wrap
•Peakboost vacuum block
•Gm 3-bar map sensor
•Gm boost control solenoid
•Innovative motor mounts (60a hardness)
•Thermal 3” exhaust (modified to v-band connections and bottle necks removed)
•K&N air filter to fit onto compressor housing of turbo
•RC Engineering 750cc injectors (high impendence, saturated injectors)
•NGK Iridium spark plugs (one step colder)
•P2R throttle body & intake manifold gaskets
•AEM Fuel Rail
•Aeromotive FPR
•Walbro intake pump
•Quaife LSD
•CC Stage 4 clutch


Suspension and wheels
•Megan Racing Coilovers (32-way adjustable dampening0
•Volk CE28N wheels (18x7.5” [44mm offset] in bronze)
•Ingals camber kit


Interior, Exterior & Dress-up Items

•DC5 Type-r Recaros
•Wrinkle Bronze powder coated valve cover
•20% window Tint
•Mugen Radiator & oil filler caps
•Type-r dipstick



I still need to buy a few more pieces. I need to order a smaller race battery and build a battery tray, buy a new Primary o2 sensor (because I think mine is starting to crap out on me), and some Vac lines for my turbo kit.

I am also debating on getting the RBC intake manifold (you guys suck because it comes on your car in stock form)
