JDM parts overnight from Japan

running 20 psi with just a walbro, injectors, intercooler and an exhaust??!?! That sounds like how chris' (a friend of ours) went pop.... the first time
Oh, you said on 93 octane? What do you run it on now?

650 cc injectors, and a 255 lph fuel pump are going to be more than enough for what this turbo will put down. I hit 25 psi several times on accident when I first took it out and logged no significent detonation...but I was only there for a second or so.

If you are reffering to the guy who literally melted his engine in a race against an M3, I believe, that was spread all over the internet...he was running a larger turbo and sadly to say something catostrophic or dumb had to have happened because that engine was in complete shambles. His car was extremely nice before that happened and I'm sure he is making it even nicer now.
I run 93 octane all the time, I was just clarifying as opposed to saying pump gas which could be 91-94. I do not think 20 on pump gas is too ambitious, but we will see. I am hoping to get around 25 on c16.

karl, short karl?

He is short and Krazy!

what can stock eclipse driveshafts handle? i imagine they're pretty beefy. when i saw the list of mods the first thing that popped into my head was driveshafts screaming in agony

very nice list of mods by the way. i also like how you kept the side-mount...stealth rules. another question, how is the sidemount in terms of airflow and pressure drop? my father has an audi A4 1.8T, and popular mod for that car is to use the S4's vented wheel well liner (stock liner is solid) behind the side mount so air can pass over it easier. the 1.8T's sidemount also causes a great deal of pressure drop over about 1 bar psi. sorry for all the questions, can't wait to see this beast in person!

I don't know about what the limit on a stock driveshaft is. By definition I have two...but they arn't really called that in a FWD. People with AWD DSMs have run well over 400 whp without needing to get a stronger one, other things will break before it.

The dejontool.com supersidemount is pretty massive. They rate the core for 450 horsepower. I completely removed the plastic splashguard, nothing flows better than having nothing back there.

Pressure drop was not noticable but there had to have been some.

Truly, it will be out and about all the time. It is a daily driver and whenever the next event is we'll roll.
I'll also have it at the show, for sure. Some of my team will probably roll with, because we're cool like that.
