I got a jdm b18c vtir in my EG hatch
i bought this treadstone kit of a ozhonda member, it's a treadstone turbo kits for b18c7 from US.

the kit includes:
Turbonetics T3/T4 turbo
Turbonetics Evolution wastegate
Treadstone cast manifold
Treadstone intercooler
Treadstone 2.5" Polished aluminum pipe kit
Treadstone stainless downpipe kit
Treadstone complete oil kit
Treadstone silicone and T-bolts
High flow air filter
on top of these parts, i have got myself the following to complete the job:
Precision 525cc high impendance fuel injectors
Greddy Type RS BOV
Walbro 552hp intank fuel pump
AEM Fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator
custom dump pipe wrapped with heat wrap
Custom Screamer pipe
Power FC
since the intake manifold of the b18c7 is different to b18c vtir, so the intercooler piping was altered to fit my engine.
i have to say i was going to install it myself, but since i dont have much time at home (FIFO worker), i had to give it to my trusted mechanic Zack from Cypher to install and tune for me.
everything was straight forward, as this is not a DIY guide, i wont go into details of the installation, the only slight problem was the external wastegate is sitting too high, and Zack had to custom made a 90degree bend so the external wastegate can clear the bonnet. (see picture below)

the car was running ~149fwhp before the install, and the end result is 216.4fwhp (8.5psi), 67.4hp increase.

i have to say the screamer pipe is loud, the screamer pipe is basicly a straight pipe coming out of the wastegate.

the power level is quiet smooth i have to say, i definately feel to boost when it starts kicking at 4000rpm.
Pro:
:thumbsup: lot of power
:thumbsup: noise from the screamer and BOV is amazing
:thumbsup: enjoy the suprise look from V8 driver
:thumbsup: lot more torque, which mean it is easier to drive on FWY
Cons:
:thumbdwn: cant find traction with my old tyres, so i got some new 595 tyres, it seems ok, just about to get wheel spin when boost comes on, but if i am turning and boosting, the car just understeer
:thumbdwn: worry about cops everytime they are near me, always worry about yellow
:thumbdwn: missing the responsiveness of the NA engine
:thumbdwn: doesnt sound like honda vtec oooooooBAAAAAAAAA noise
NB:
Standard engine internal.
no LSD, but i am planning to get a LSD in a near future
