My Kit Came..

[813_05_STi]

EDIT THIS WAS A UPS ERROR NOT ULTIMATE RACING. The Casing had to be flanged for the IC piping. The Turbo and Wastegate were dropped shipped and delivered to the wrong address. Been sitting outside at someones house thats not there for 2 days. I have all the parts now, putting the casing on took about 2 mins, its simple :)

My Carbon TI came, Bov came and the pipe is flanged for it. My jdm for surrounds came for the cold air mod.
Waiting on my Radiator, hoses, catch cans, clutch,

how the hell do you send half of a turbo? why not order the kit through PDX?

[mantra1]

That is the lamest attempt to fill an order I have ever seen. So I guess your suppossed to 'build' the turbo when the other parts arrive? I'd demand my money back and send that back to UR. I could understand if they forgot a hose clamp or something minor but to send just the compressor housing is unacceptable. Speaking of the compressor housing, those welds look like shit. Those kits aren't cheap and for them to ship a partial order is ridiculous. Sorry for the rant, but poor customer service and quality pisses me off. Good luck.

[AvASTi]

im with mantra just the housing eeks where did u get this stuff from? so i never order from them, sorry to here bout your luck hope it gets fixed.

[esemes]

yeah, that weld on the nozzel looks bad, but id be more concerned with the penetration of it (and how longlasting and solid it remains)....

as for the wastegate, welp, you're external, so there is none to be had on the turbine itself. you'll vent via the up-pipe, and either replumb that back into the downpipe (stealthy), or raw and out to atmosphere (quite loud)....


i have heard good things about the UR stuff, but this does seem less than acceptible...

[SnowMann]

I see an external dump tube for the WG....any response from them yet on why they didnt send the CHRA, hot side housing, or WG?

The pass is....Incomplete

ttt, Fixed.. All the welds on the piping are Full Race quality and have a lifetime Warranty. The weld on the compressor is soso, It looks worse than it is. The bead on the rest is perfect thats where it meets on the front face. Back to waiting

No Mess of piping, No Cold air return running over top of the Compressor, Kit has a Cold Air Inlet. Might be the most expensive Fmic, but deff the best looking

[Alizarin]

I hope the smoothness of the air flow for the outlet is better than it looks in the picture. The way the 90* is welded on there, it looks like it angles down then back up to make the elbow.

Garrett turbos FTW!

I took some better pics so you can see clearly what was done to the casing. Ultimate Racing fabricates the caseing so you get the above fitment seen with the cai and fmic charge pipeing. This is a spout from a larger compressor. It goes from small to larger, the bottom if a pic of the run of the weld. It does look kinda poopy in the above pic as this is where the run ends.
I have 100% confidence in UR's customer service, as they were going to overnight me another compressor and wastegate and handle the claim with UPS on there own. Luckily I found the package safe and sound.

PS Anyone know of a shop that polishes aluminum? Since im still waiting on parts I would like to get the compressor housing polished as it would be much easyer to clean.

I have the inlet on my car now, wont be needing anymore. The UR kit has the CAI pictured above. Im just having the car tuned to 500, Burnin has 531 but I dont realy need it. Untill i get the block thought out that is :)

nice

[MrSmith]

Nice... ultimate is top notch in both parts and service. My old civic made 440 wheel on pump with a custom setup fabbed by them. Darryl and the gang are great people. I will eventually go with the same kit on my wrx.
Good luck with your STi :thumbup:

[MugenR]

500! good stuff!

Im not sure what your talking about, but if its testing and the flow sheet for $60. the peace of mind is worth it to me. I purchased what was supposed to be a set of RC 1000cc Injectors for my 2.0 vtec turbo set up, and after I installed them. Towed the car 4 hours to the nearest Hondata tuner, went another 35 mins from his house to the dyno. set up the ecu, did about 3 pulls and made 376hp my injectors reached full duty cycle. Not only did the well know honda tech vendor not make good on this, but tried telling me I was lying and I was trying to pull a fast one. :(

[Frankie Figs]

When are we putting this shit on???? I wanna work on something! :)
