o2 housing concern...

[KillerCam282]

I have the EVOIII Big 16g turbo with a 2g o2 housing and 2.5" turbo back, no cat, no resonator. It's pretty quiet and made great power.

so let's say i do get the stock one... would straight 2.5" piping including flexpipe(no cat/resonators) be a good exhaust system to run... or should i just go 3" somewhere in there....

I personally like the 3" exhaust system, but from the turbo back.

What kind of horsepower gains can you see by removing the cat? I mean, is it really worth it to be dumping unnecessary toxins into the atmosphere?

I guess its ok if the car isn't going to be a daily driver but doesn't seem necessary to me to remove the cat. I'm just being nature's bitch I guess.

i would get an evo3 housing for a 16g, has much better flow throughout. If i went with a 1g/2g, i would port it as much as possible to help with creep from that tiny wastegate path. (porting the 02 housing and turbine housing help solve the creep issue) They all bolt up the same tho...

what kind of numbers were you able to put down with your auto tranny...(i'm auto also)

my REAL plans are getting a shift kit of some sort...(built auto tranny)

hes running turbo, you very little back pressure for best flow to make the most power

Hes got a 5 spd now.

Hes got a 5 spd now.

i know, but i'd like to know what kind of numbers did he put down back when he had his auto tranny...

[NAiL05]

Somwhere around or close to 200 if I remember.

[Boost_Lee]

I did 188/188 on the stock auto trans with like 180k on it, and i did a 15.2 @ 93 on my huge wheels....once i knew i was goin 5 spd, i started beatin the shit out of it, then bye bye. I would build an auto if you want any good numbers and the full potential of your setup to hit the ground...cuz i noticed a HUGE difference just from the swap alone.

im not sure about a 16g 02 housing fitting with an AC, cuz i had to grind my 2g housing to clear it before i removed my AC

[prNonVtec4u]

whoah!, sounds like an issue, i guess my ques. is what o2 housing can i use w/ ac present(don't wanna get rid of it )

[Boost_Lee]

you can use a 1g/2g, many people have. If it hits the AC line, try to bend it a little, and shave off a few mm's of the outside housing. trial and error is your best bet dude

[prNonVtec4u]

i also have one more concern, where is a good place in which i can get parts to build my tranny?

any1 know.....

the most i see there is torque converters and stuff, is that the main thing i'm gonna have to change...

call them up n tellthem your plans ... theyll reccomend everything for a full build at your power goal
