nice

Liltroy · 11-19-2007, 07:47 PM

VERY NICE! I love how you painted the carbon fiber hood on the edges to go along with the body lines around the grill.

Looks, great. Must see more pics though!!

BBYlude · 11-20-2007, 06:24 AM

more pics though

Chief_Rocka · 11-20-2007, 07:58 AM

Very nice. Can't wait for more pics.

keahistight · 11-20-2007, 08:41 AM

haha! You did the same thing I did. Isnt it funny how fast you get over the Greddy?

Nocturn · 11-20-2007, 01:47 PM

Yea greddy can suck my A## total waste of money, i spent less on my current turbo setup than the kit costs, The lovefab guys have great prices. School is kicking my butt right now but i will have more pics up this weekend for sure, right now im driving around without my downpipe connected to anything waiting for my exhaust appointment, my car sounds like a 69 camaro haha.

Nocturn · 11-22-2007, 05:30 PM

new pics posted

LuDe tEkNiQ · 11-25-2007, 02:57 PM

w0w ur setup is almost identical to my setup.. great minds think alike.. hey had a question for you, where did you get that sleeve for the connector on the M&W Pro-10? Also, did you get the ignition harness made or did you make it yourself? Thanks..

DxTrix · 11-25-2007, 09:06 PM

Very clean setup.

Ieatoil · 12-07-2007, 08:11 AM

Great build, wish I was where you're at.

Was wondering, is the lovefab mini-me EQ ac/ps compatible?

Thanks.

Nocturn · 12-09-2007, 03:13 PM

well, ps is 100%compatable and i guess if you had a small turbo it maybe could be ac compatable, but if your going to buy this manifold it will surely be for a turbo big enough to not work with AC. If you look at the pics, the turbo would hit hte compressor. The Lovefab guys said they are looking to get a prelude in the shop to try and fab a version that is ac compatible so maybe give them a call, they might hook you up.

LOVE the shaved trunk did you do that yourself?

Nocturn · 12-10-2007, 06:44 AM

HAHA no i didnt do it myself, i have no skills when it comes to body work. My friend owns his own body shop so he shaved it for free when he put on my body kit.

crl3vtec · 12-12-2007, 11:23 AM

not bad/. 1st thing to go on the dyno is going to be the hose clamps hold the intercooler piping. If your wanting 400whp. You need some T-bolt clamps.
You will get tired of putting the pipe back together.......

2keggie · 12-29-2007, 08:08 AM

great setup. quick questions. looks like you have three ports on the catch can. one going to valve cover breather, one going to pcv, third i can't see. looks like you have the intake mani port plugged up. questions: did you bore out the pcv? where's the third port going to? thanks.

Nocturn · 01-07-2008, 10:03 PM

Sorry for the delay on the response ive been moving apartments and had no internet, the third connection goes to a port that i drilled and tapped myself into the valve cover, just to make sure there was enough air flow for escaping gas. Yes i did bore out hte pcv so it is basically just a right angle connector at this point. Upsides to this is less oil and random crap in my intake, downside is that since im running open air on my catch can the inside of my car smells like straight hot oil if i have my ventalation off of recirculation.

DonP · 01-09-2008, 05:10 PM

good job!

keahistight · 01-13-2008, 12:31 PM

hows that mani working for you? Its a LoveFab Right?

Nocturn · 01-14-2008, 10:27 AM

Yes it is lovefab, and i dont know how it is working yet, my car actually runs like Sh*T right now because of a map sensor issue. I am upgrading to 1000cc injectors and switching from a gm map sensor to an AEM sensor and getting my final tune on monday of next week, so as soon as that is done i will post results.

McLude · 01-14-2008, 12:00 PM

Very nice. 400whp is certainly attainable on the daily. Although T-bolts would be the best option, it also depends how well the rolled edges on your pipes are. I hit 400whp and I've never had a hose clamp blow off and I don't have t-bolts. But you might as well get them.

Nocturn · 01-15-2008, 08:49 AM

Yea i have purchased and installed t-bolt clamps since i took the posted pictures. I honestly didnt even think of doing that till i got feedback on this post.

Nocturn · 01-31-2008, 09:03 AM

Tuner just called today, My final numbers are 406whp and 325ft/lbs torque. I will be picking up the car this weekend unless this blizzard hits and will post dyno plots asap.

Artifex · 01-31-2008, 11:53 AM

Wow, very nice.

Nocturn · 02-02-2008, 04:51 PM

Here are the sheets, sorry for the bad pic im in a hurry.

Artifex · 02-02-2008, 05:42 PM

Wow what an incredible curve. Really great job.
