Varion's Mugen Boost Build

Well I decided to post up my build since it's already pretty much complete. I am boosting with a JDM Sport GT3582 Journal Bearing [switching to BB Precision soon hopefully]. Currently built with a modified AJP Manifold and Downpipe courtesy of Si Speed 317. Parts list below.

Turbo XS RFL Blow off Valve.
Custom 2.5" Black powdercoated charge piping.
CXRacing Onesided intercooler [I forgot the dimensions but same one as Si Speed 317]
Walbro 255
ID 1000cc Injectors.
10 PSI External wastegate [forgot the brand name]
2.5" Full DC Sports straight turbo back [3" downpipe to 2.5" piping straight to muffler]
Vacuum block [again forgot name brand]
Modified ebay catch can to breather style
Innovate LC-1 Wideband Gauge. Sunpro boost and Oil pressure gauges [need to upgrade]
PTFE Oil lines for turbo.


I will add any if i missed them. I still need to add water lines for the turbo if anybody could post pictures of how theirs is setup it would greatly help me out. I've been on a severe budget trying my best to get the pieces I needed to efficiently boost. I still do not have Flashpro or my Stage 4 clutch yet but in process of getting them.

Pictures below.

This first picture is when I got my first intercooler and tried fitting the piping without cutting and such about 7 months ago. I still laugh when I look at this.

I later ditched the Intercooler and got the one sided one which helped a lot more.

Will be getting more up to date pictures soon enough..

Glad to see my old setup went to a good home :thumb: Love the Mugen, rare FTW

More pics ASAP :readtherules:

Will get more pics as soon as I can. Mugen's getting new shoes on the rear. I still have to fix up all the body damage but soon enough will be a complete boosted Mugen RR. I modified the downpipe btw to separate the wastegate from it because I had severe fitment issues with it so I had a dumptube welded which worked out perfectly.

Looking great! You bought an 09 bumper from me in the past on 8th. Where did it go?

It's in my shed, The bumper paint was chipping off really bad and then I ended up having a front end collision with it on =C so it's got minor damage and has half the paint it did.

pic of it for reference when I was fitting the old intercooler

now that is sexci.. i will hit u up once i get home from work

Sounds good to me bro

Holy crap it's destroyed!! LoL

lol yeah. The bumper was not properly sanded and prepared though for the paint to completely flake off but it's fine. I changed my route and I'm going Mugen RR.

I mean it was painted professionally that shouldn't have happened. Good luck with the Mugen RR setup! Can't wait to see.

I can't believe Fijiblu10 screwed you over like that :wtf:





Just kidding :tongue:

lol. i still cant decidr on what to do because i have to use either an IAT sensor or MAF sensor. im getting a 4bar map sensor but i do need to pic either one. i think MAF woulf make my kit more stockish and look nice

Maf

that turbo is a replica of a 35r. not actually 100% garrett spec. shame.

Yeah but it works proper. JDM Sport turbo'd a CR-Z with their turbos and it held up well. So they're a good company.

Good news, Massive upgrade ahead of me. Any recommendations on what I should purchase? I'm going Ball bearing this time around and I'm thinking of finishing off my full front end aswell.

What projects are you currently working on?

My Front end, My turbo build, and maybe Engine building

Mugen RR would be sick!

That's already planned with a CF hood and fenders [will be painted except for grills in hood] and a PP bumper.

Mugen RR FTW :thumb: Do it!!!

@@; I forgot how powerful 300HP felt like. Stock Injectors >.>;

Yea it's an awesome feeling, you're still on stock injectors or you switched it up? Hows the car running? We need vids
