@Speedytech7 i really hope you were drunk last night. Swapping a blower from a mini van instead of a turbo..wtf.[/QUOTE]
i been drunk and never thought of that lol

 

Yeah, 82c is equal to 180f. Thanks.

 

Your welcome buddy

 

Somehow I just knew you'd pipe up about it too.

Fact is it's a bigger SC than the little Eaton M62 on the 3.4 and it's fed by piping rather than bolted to a plenum or head. So really it's a pretty cheap option for boost and all you need are mounts for it and 4cyls have plenty of room to mount it.

 

Sounds like a faber-cobble nightmare

 

I suppose it could be if you don't measure before you weld

 

Didn't come with one..found that out this week..

It won't be cheaper and it'll be a pita.

I suspect much regret in future of not going turbo from the get go

 

I don't see how it could get to $2700 dollars. I have metal to make mounts and the SC comes with the piping. Really all I'd need to buy would be a new belt and a length of wire to hook of the electric clutch, maybe a silicone couple or two.

It's something to pass the time, still gonna turbo (I like the sounds) and if this works I don't think I'll have problems selling it off to someone else. There's nothing even complicated about it, literally just needs mounts and a wire, I'm thinking as a fun project I'll aim to keep it under $500 for parts and materials. That way if it doesn't work it's no big deal

 

Picked up a JL Stealth Box - they usually runs $600 new for $100 off OfferUp. Can't believe I found one used.



I was a little sketchy since it was in a ghetto part of Oakland... so I took the E320 in case someone wanted to car jack me. LOL.

There's a nice Whole Foods down the street. I guess that makes up for it haha.

 

What a score wish I could find one that cheap

 

Aren't the stealth boxes custom fit for things, what's that one supposed to fit?

 

That's the one that's meant for a extended cab taco
tacext 10w3v3 is the part number

 

I expect EVs to do everything a little slower since that increases their range. But hybrids? Your shit is just as fuel efficient cruising as the Civic that is passing you going the speed limit. Stop hypermiling.

 

That box is a steal! They didn’t know what they had

 

Right! I wish I could find one I've been looking and won't spend 600 on one

 

Thanks for the flares @BYJOSHCOOK

 

Yea man I almost bought one but $600 for a box hell no
