I am so glad I installed the turbo myself- wanna learn a car inside and out??? Install a turbo kit....

nice

 

[N/A_SI]

have u dyno tested it yet

 

[EPHatchGirl]

Oh yeah, my bad!!
I don't have the chart scanned in, but I will get it up and running.... We tuned for about 35 minutes, with me making the adjustments. I got it to:

9 lbs. of boost
258 HP
209 Ft Lbs of torque

Not a bad start, but there is more tuning to do down low, and probably a good 4-5 HP to gain there. (Before I reinforce my lil' 2 liter and turn that boost up.... did I mention getting a clutch and LSD...???LOL)
Thanks!

**Edit: It was really fun tuning at New German Performance watching all the VW guys in shock as we ran it.

Nice SI, you are now one of the few with the 02 and up SI in here. I have a lot to do to mine. How do you like the Cybernations turbo? Sorry but the only thing I don't like is that shifter. Nice wing too. Looks tight. And you got to lose that bra.

 

[terceltyler]

nice car but ^^^when u said loose the bra i was like she has a pic of herself up here?! lol

 

[stealthsi009]

woosh, your car's really nice. I'm over it. Keep up the good work.

 

[blaklyte]

[ImportFan1]

[civicvtec1ps]

Looks good as always!

 

[fast5thgen]

nice car -gotta love the sound of the BOV

 

[EPHatchGirl]

Heya to everyone!!!

Thanks for the kind words- and just as a note:

I got rid of the HIDEOUS shift knob- I'll put up a new pic soon...
I LOVE the sound of a BOV....
I got rid of ALL the decals on the car except for one- a Cybernation Motorsports on the rear window..LOL
The turbo kit is awesome, and I have NOTHING to buy to upgrade (besides the pistons and rods)... if anyone has any questions about the kit, PM me!!
I only leave the bra on when I am driving a long trip or whateva... don't worry, it aint on there now, actually!!


The new shift knob is :

PLEASE- THIS IS A BAD PIC- IT AINT NO DILDO!!!

I'll take my own picture, but I wanted to show you guys what I had, this was on the DC Sports website. Thanks again for the kind words.

OK, the stickers, toys, tacky tack, and hidious shift knob need to go(whats wrong with the stock leather one? its a really nice piece if you ask me), other than that though nice car, i almost leased one of those but figured i was better off buying my focus for cheaper. you do have seriously balls though for turboing that thing, personaly i wouldn't do that do a new car, id be too afraid of blowing it up and paying out the ass for a new engine so serious props for that8) should be preaty badass when your done.

See above posts before Flaming the newcomer.

I love trolls.

The tach comes in handy when running through the gears in boost... 1st and 2nd are almost over before they start, so a shift light is a huge help.... and I never said the stock shifter sucked, I was merely trying out a couple of different things, and I liked the JDM shift boot better anyways.



... I guess to each his/her own... I would pay more NOT to have a Ford.... but that's just my . I test drove an SVT Focus Hatch, and I have to say the seating felt unnaturally high for such a little car. The controls were layed out nicely, but, I wasn't impressed. The amount of savings did not constitute the drop in quality that I felt in that car.

 

[honda209]

damn pretty nice, inside n out, those numbers look pretty good too though. keep up the good work n how bout a pic of u ; )

 

[EPHatchGirl]

Thanks, glad you like it!

I'm going to just stay a car on here for now, it's more fun that way.8)

sorry for the misunderstanding but i wasnt flaming you, just stating my opinion, sorry i just dont care for some of your styling upgrades. but like you said to each his own. for the record i do like your car overall, its nice. and also i have an ZX3, not an SVT i had a choice between payng 167 a mo to own a car or 175 a mo to lease it for 4 years( the SI), so i decided owning was better. if i had 20k to spend on a new car i prob woulda gone with the SI, either that or an SVT, or MP5 who knows, the bottem line is i didnt so it doesnt matter. personaly i think the SVT is a slightly better performing car, but the SI interior > *. esp those seats dispite its shortcomings and bad magizine reviews is still a very cool car, its def somthing id drive. your car is very badass though, and dispite what i think of your style you def have done it right where it counts :thumbsup:
can i get a ride? ill let you drive my fakus and do a few one wheel burnouts8)
