They could have just said it wasn’t going to be made for the GPX, instead of getting my hopes up.

I suppose it's easier to turbo Type-R motors because they are an 'inline' configuration which makes things relatively simpler in terms of designing an exhaust manifold.scracy wrote:...I dont know why turboing the mivec motor is that hard, there are quite a few turbo integra type r around![]()

Got an idea, not sure if anyone has done this. You might actually modify both front and rear exhaust manifolds for A TWIN TURBO, as well as intake manifolds which come front the intercooler. Ofcourse you need to take into account all other system (i.e fueling or even the room under bonnet) in order to incorporate each other.scracy wrote:You only need to make one exhaust manifold to turbo an fto (which in my case bolts to the existing exhaust manifold,fairly simple to do a high mount installation.
you could get a set of custom JE for around a grand US.GPXXX wrote:dannyboyau wrote:try these

hmmm, there's a huge difference between $375 each and $635! (and I suppose they're not AUD either!)![]()
...are all forged pistons made as equal or are there differences in forge quality across various brands??
uh, that's USD $375 EACH man, not per set of 6... sorry to rain on your parade, hehehe..scracy wrote:Even $375us is very cheap for a set of forged pistons! I suspect these may simply be a high silicone content piston as they are very cheap, hope im wrong because at that price i might run more boost and see what the gearbox will really handle
