Clean build. Any videos of your exhaust setup?

Nice build so far. As far as your forced induction choices, I don't favor either of them. IMO, allocate your funds else where, especially if it yields a positive return.

Nothing yet. A bit loud on a cold start but pretty quiet while driving. I highly recommend this setup

Where else would you have in mind?

I have had multiple turbocharged four cylinder hondas. I think for me living with the Texas heat and not really driving too much highway, a supercharger would be ideal. Plus, its easy to install myself and remove to sell if I wanted to in the future. Thanks for the feedback.

Some past cars I owned. Not really in order

1993 Civic Garrett T3 Super 60 turbo kit
1999 Civic Garrett T3/T4 57 trim turbo kit
1996 Integra GSR Garrett T3/T4 50 trim turbo kit
1995 325is M Sport
1999 540i M Sport

The taillights look sweet. Very clean car.

Silent But Deadly Turbo?

Really nice build thus far.Keep it up!

looks great and my vote for staying na.

Thanks for all the feedback!

heats going to be an issue for all of the FI options. my vote is for turbo but if you must go SC, jackson is the best kit right now.

Great cars and the BRZ looks superb!

Mounted the intercooler, installed my drift armor bar and oil cooler. Hopefully this week can finish up and install the rest of the kit.

What made you change your mind about the supercharger?

1) More potential for power on a turbo setup.
2) Cheaper to rebuild a turbo than a supercharger.
3) Superchargers heat soak badly, and I live in Texas.
4) Familiarity, I have had built three other turbo cars before.

turbo kit installed, waiting to get tuned on saturday!

Any problems with the manifold not fitting correctly??

this manifold had the flanges machined by ats racing since they came slightly warped.. it definitely is a snug fit, as is all the 3" exhaust piping

Were there any other issues with the kit?

intercooler piping is a tight fit but besides that no other issues. installed everything in my garage including the fuel pump, full exhaust, and clamping the evap lines in under 8 hours.

Right on, that's kind of what I have been reading. Seems like it could be a good setup with a decent turbo, bov and wg. Looking forward to seeing more pictures :)
