Good job on the del sol rims too if you painted them


Thanks!
Only thing I don't like anymore on the del sol wheels is the red H on the center caps.

Pretty much.....

Ebay manifold, 14b turbo, ebay IC kit. Front mount I picked up from a friend.

Nothing special, but I will up grade one day.

- Fri Oct 17, 2008 10:20 am #74653 nice hatch bro. be careful with the ebay turbo, the bearing's usually die out on you or the turbine fucks up, but there are instances when theres been one running well lol :D look forward to the progress. As for paint white is really nice, but also consider milano red with a tint of candy in metallic. will look real nice in the light. or even a black metallic, look dope. all the best

- Fri Oct 17, 2008 12:35 pm #74663 Very nice this reminds me of my car in so many ways except mine has the east coast rust (soon to be taken care of hopefully) but yea very nice hatch I would probaly switch to a different turbo though ebay turbos unless they came from a car with one dont really work to well they are pretty much built to work for a little bit and then go......

How big is that intercooler? and do you have pics with the front bumper on and the intercooler behind it?

You are a tad more ahead than me in my turbo build but good luck and make sure to keep records of what you buy and how much since itd be interesting to see what it all comes out to.

As far as the turbo it self. its not an ebay one. It's a 14b off of a 1st gen DSM, its been rebuilt and ported on the exhuast side. I'm running a cast manifold I got off ebay. Sorry for the confusion.

I do have a pic of the front mount, its I think 28x6x3. Fits perfect inside the bumper. I had to do a little trimming but not much. I'll have to find it.

My fuel pump and J pipe arrived yesterday, I should have the car together by Wednesday! It's only been down for 3 weeks, whichi isn't to bad I think...

I'll keep you guys posted along with some new pics!
