As always, thanks for your hard work.  I'll be supporting the NA developments for the time being.  My wallet won't stretch wide enough for this, heh.  It'll probably be another year before I can go this route.  I hope this is well supported though.  I admire everyone who can afford to go this route now.

TURBO KIT!!!!

yup yup yup!

be one of the first and receive a very nice $1000 off discount, here are the details of what it will contain:

We can get the first 5 kits presold @ $4,000 each, which is a killer deal considering it will be a full ceramic coated, tig welded kit with an equal length manifold.

50% down will land you this spot, you can pay all upfront, or half now/half later kind of deal (i understand money is tough right now so im trying to help you guys out)

HERE ARE THE COMPONENTS!!!!

1. Turbonetics T3/T04 turbo, there will also be a gtk 350 option if you would like to pay more.
2. Tig welded stainless Turbo Manifold (equal length, not shitty log type) Log manifolds aren't shitty
3. Mishimoto intercooler (get the black... it looks bitchin)
4. Tig welded components and piping all ceramic coated
5. Stainless steel lines and fitting
6. Walbro fuel pump
7. Name brand wastegate/blow off valve (we will have a few options for you guys, but we do recommend you go with turbosmart) - I recommend Tial for both the BOV and Wastegate, Greddy(bov), or HKS(bov). I would not recommend turbosmart.
8. Name brand injectors (RC or Accel or Motron)
9. Down pipe (we will have a 2.5inch option, but we are trying to fit a 3 inch downpipe... kinda a tight squeeze)
10. Tuning will be either Unichip (for bolt on and go) or SAFC II (for the tuners out there )

system will be complete!

Kit output will be capable of +100 HP or up to 300HP at approximately 7-8psi.

of course with more boost, full engine blue print, and the gtk option, the sky is the limit pretty much

I understand most people will not want to spend there money without seeing the kit itself running and dyno charts and all of that.

Let me assure you if you do take this plunge and the introductory discount, you will not be let down.

The development of this kit is not only backed by me (rakonismo) and Gavin and API Motorsports.

it also has the support of:

www.turbochargers.com
Mishimoto
Turbonetics
AND
Fox Marketing

So it is what it is guys,

email: gavin@apimotoring.com if interested in this killer deal.

Other then those minor issues i think you finally got it together enough to pull this off

or synapse engineering.

log manifolds may not be shitty, but equal length > log style im sure

oh ya cant forget about synapse eng.

your right allen, but its x10 more money for a well done equal length mani and most of the time a nice log style manifold (protechs for example) flows just as well.

There was a good post/something in the chatbox about shorty manifolds vs. equal length.  dunno where it was...

either way, for 99.99% of owners, there is no need for an equal length.

soo true

well i would think that:



would flow better and more evenly then

Are they going to provide an awesome warranty for cracks?  Equal lengths notariously crack more than shorty's.

And no Preston, that was not the right post.  I think it might've been in the chatbox...

son of a bitch, i didnt expect it this fast!  I said next spring (so i was hoping it would come out around january) i cant get one now, but i want that fucking discount.  What to do, what to do...

I want it as well but I cant do it right now.. college is startin up soon and I just got a townhouse and money is going other places.. very upset

trust me man, you are doing a GREAT JOB helping everyone out, we cannot thank you enough for your hard work and determination on getting us some after market support.  But I just dont think I can get the turbo kit, all the extras like catback, mmi, gauges, tuning, installation, new tires(mine wouldnt last), clutch eventually, more gas.  and I dont work while im up at college so I would be draining my funds.  But the good thing is I will have my car payed off next summer, which is only 2 years after I bought it, so I am very happy about that and then I can possibly do it after that.  But THANKS again for all your work for the B16, it is very appreciated.

Put me down as #1 for a manifold/downpipe combo. Are you guys gona use an intercooler with the inlet and outlet on the same side?

yaaay!!! The prius has a turbo now!!!

I wonder, what is the gas mileage like?  The B16 got way better gas than the B15, I just wonder the change with the turbo?

Hmmm........supercharged B15 and a Turboed B16............i'm getting ideas........

Not to throw a monkey wrench in here.. but, shouldn't this company first develop/test a kit, before taking orders?  Didn't we learn anything with WRP?

Again.. not trying to be negative.. but, why would you throw thousands of dollars at a company that doesn't even have a product out yet?

Travis

+1

thank god someone agrees

Rakonismo is out of town.  He asked me to post here to let u guys know he'll try to send me updates as he receives them but if not, hell be back in no time.

looks like the header is just about FAIL..or going right down the garbage chute.

Not really nagative.. I just think that it's crazy for a company to take orders for a product that doesn't exist, and has never been tested.  I've been there/done that, and I know what kind of stuff can happen when a company does this.  Why not build/test the kit, and then offer it to the public?
