flacopower's cb7-t page??

[flacopower]

as hesitant i am to post this, i officially have my first turbo accessory whether i decide to go cb7t or otherwise.. while surfing the net i found a guy that needed to make a car payment by today. well he had some camera's and some rims for sale. then i see Greddy type RS BOV for sale 100 obo... i figured it was used so i inquire further and he tells me its BRAND NEW and he bought it four days ago. so i tell him 85 shipped and he said he would deliver it to my house!! so here it is and included was an audi tt flange (going on ebay) so i just wanted to share my good experience.

Thats a pretty nice BOV. Its not often you see someone who is not using the HKS SSBOV. Anyhow, what turbo kit are you compiling here?

[flacopower]

lol not really sure yet... it would be an itty bitty turbo probably something like a mitsu t25 due to large fear of blowing my motor

Poor tuning blows motors...not large turbos. But don't take that literally because it does not mean you can slap a T100 on your stock F22 and be good.

lol. yeah i actually may be buying an sr20det s14 here within the next week, so if that falls through i guess that the money i have saved up goes to a cb7t... plus i love the originality of it. a turbo charged accord mmmmmmmmm

[KillerCam282]

You still didn't give anymore plans on what exactly you are doing in regards to CB7-t. What motor, what setup, etc... I can't help myself when I see or hear about turbo accords.

turbo accords are def the shit

sr20det's are also the shit if u can get your hands on one, there is a dude in my area who imported a skyline gtr into the country from japan, and for some reason put an sr20det in it...blows my mind why he would get rid of the 6, but maybe it was just the shell....

sorry to get kinda off subject, my opinion is to put more cash into tuning it then you do into building it. You can have the sweetest built engine in the world, but without good tuning it is a boat anchor IMO

Must ask.... how does he ship a skyline into the country? For how much? Limitations?

dude i have absolutely no idea lol. He is in the navy and was living in japan for most of his life, so maybe that had something to do with it...

there is a ton of cash involved i am sure too lol

yeah, if ur in the military, u have hook ups to get whatever u want over here. one of my friends has a skyline, what he did was just ship the engine first, said that he had a car that it could go into already back here, so he got it shipped pretty cheap, he didnt have to go thru any inspections at all, then he shipped the shell in pieces over here, no inspections there either, so yea. it was pretty cheap to shipp it over here, well, compared to when u have to go thru like 20 inspections and so many documents to get the whole car in one piece over here.

How much did it cost your buddy friend?

[flacopower]

thread jackers!

The whole skyline thing was pretty interesting. I really wanted to do that myself. Someone told me to bring it over piece by piece and register it as a 240 SX.

Oh yeah, flaco's turbo thread, right. Back to what i was saying, FUTURE PLANS PLEASE. Teasing us with just a BOV is just wrong.

[flacopower]

well the plan is to just look for as many really good deals as i can on universal parts: bov, intercoolers, turbos, safc, oil return lines... due to EXTREME time constraints, i am in no rush to do this, so i am just in the early planning stages. all the parts i am getting will work for other cars even if i decide to go with another car besides an accord would still be useful. because the thought of going KA-T is very intriging (sp)
