So after many death threats and nagging from a good friend of mine here on the forums Adm_Rsx (Adam), I’ve decided to finally make a build thread to catalog and share this expensive journey towards some serious boost. Little bit of some boring back story here, I’m a college student and paid for majority of this build on a part time salary and the shear will of wanting to finish what I started. The car wouldn’t even be near this stage if it wasn’t for Adam’s input, knowledge about our cars, and late night visits so a huge thanks to him for all that he’s done.
Back in early 2011 my motor decided it had enough and tossed a rod through the block to make sure it got its point across. So began the long drawn out process of saving up to get the car back on the road. I first decided that I had some interest in road racing and would stay all motor. I figured I’d grab a k24 block just for the added tq and displacement. Bought one sleeved it and ran across Adam’s Rotrex build thread. At that point I was still interested in road racing and figured a supercharger with its constant powerband would be a good decision on the track, and Rotrex put up impressive numbers. I pm’d Adam back and forth with questions about which blower to get, different setups, where to buy it from, etc.
Now I believe it was a week or two before I had enough to buy the Rotrex blower that Imports vs Domestics was @ MIR (back when it was Miller vs. Palo) and I saw just how much potential our cars had and wanted to be a part of that. At around that same time my friend was finishing up his 62mm build on a fully built JDM H22 Prelude. Once he finished that out and I got a ride on a low boost tune of 10 psi I knew I had to get out of the bitch seat and behind the wheel of my own boosted machine; so I nutted up ditched the road racing idea and bought a Twinscroll 6266. I had originally intended to just have a fun street car to enjoy on a nice day… BUT fast forwarding to after I got a better job and some more parts started rolling in(Pistons, AEM, Magnus, blah blah) I ditched the street turbo with the goal of hitting the 10.5 index and bought a Twinscroll BorgWarner S400SX 67mm FMW Turbo… Now I’m aware the 62mm may have got me to my goal but I have plans beyond the 10.5 in the future and figured its easier to sell a unused turbo.
Presently as the car sits now, the sleeved K24 is sitting in the bay pretty much N/A awaiting some forced induction…I’m currently finishing out purchasing all the parts to my dual 044 fuel setup and the car will soon be headed to FREED Engineering to fabricate piping an clean up anything I see fit. A cage is obviously in the near future for competition purposes but it’s time I get this turbo set up completed and installed. From all motor- to supercharged- to turbo- to BIG ASS turbo…build is far from complete but this is it’s current state, stay tuned.

Tire slayer
Breaking everything since 2011
welcome aboard bro!!
Looking sharp with the turbo setup
Hey, thanks! I really just wanna enjoy all the hard work for now until next race season, which I'm hoping to be ready for. So ill try and keep the power moderate until I get comfortable with driving it...Your build is pretty sick as well though man, can't wait to get boosted as the weather is changing for the better.
That is a huge turbo or you got small little girl hands like Adam lol.
