All I can say is.... Thats why i have a TT now

 

well if u want a little bit larger front mount you have to remove the crash bar unfortunatly..
so mines gone also. but im hoping i dont run intoanyone head on.. besides my front mount is the crash bar now.. serves two fuctions!

ill be getting a larger front mount soon also lol

 

I surely hope not, but they don't call it an accident for no reason.

 

well who actually has it without the crash bar?

 

I tried bolting up my Evo VIII intercooler and couldn't get the front crash bar to bolt up correctly.

 

nice upgrade

 

mm that sucks.. well lets see what happens when im installing the turbo but thats gonna happen maybe next year..

 

You are running a 540hp turbo on a car making ~200whp, your temps arent going to be high at all Seriously, get a smaller denser core and you will be happy

Me, the ic went into the rad which went into the turbo and cracked both the manifold, turbo, and dp. Coolant covered the street. Did i mention this was only at 25mph and braking?

No crash bar =

 

Bigger is better, its not really for function its more for just looks. im still trying to figure out the size/dimensions i would actually want first...

my car isnt really for racing, its just for shows and having a little bit of fun by myself. i like the front mount i have right now, so i might hold on to it for a little bit..
and its a 600hp turbo and im making atleast 220..

 

A 60trim is a 54lb/min turbo

 

ya your right. sorry i was looking at a different turbo spec when i said that. so im using about 1/2 its potential.. from what ive heard the turbo i have wil max out at about 22psi. but im not really sure.

 

You were probably looking at a 60-1 which is 61lb/min. The turbo will push as much psi as the engine will flow to the rated hp. A high flowing honda will max out the turbo at far less than something like a 1.8t in my TT. It may take a k series 16-20psi where it will take a 1.8t closer to 30psi

Since you will be well withen the efficiency of the turbo, your temps out of the turbo will barely be hot and a large IC not needed. A longer short fmic will be best and rated atleast 350hp

 

hey demon, have u got any pics to show where the front crash bar is bc i don see nething thats gonna get in the way of my intercooler, yes i have the evo 9 one. i took off the rollers but thats it besides the horn????? where is this thing

 

crash bar definitely needs to come out.... if not.. then it needs to be modified

 

the crash bar is tucked into the bumper just below the grill. Please run a shorter ic and do not mess with the crash bar. You wont be makin enough heat with any of these turbos with 10psi or less to warrent a larger core.
