It might be a tranny cooler or just a part of the intercooler!

its a header!!! and the header is the manifold that comes with the trubo kit so there is no name for the manifold and the exhaust from the muffler looks like a cheap muffler..

...its an intercooler sprayer
It sprays either co2 or n2o onto the intercooler to increase its effectiveness

someone told me that honda engines don't last long if you make them turbo.

He recommended a supercharger.

Did he know what he was talking about?

ha...no, he doesnt know what he's talking about.
Either way its forced air and it needs tuning.
A sc will kill a motor just as fast as turbo if the air/fuel ratio isnt right.

Anyways, a turbo car will always be faster than a sc'd one...

He wouldn't be running a header, he would be running a turbo manifold.

The little oval pipe is a sort of a nitrous cooler.

That thing is fucking sweet. I'm impressed to say the least.
GReddy just released a turbo kit for the new SiR's (here in canada it's SiR), you get the Si.

i woulk take that turbo kit off of the car its on and put it on the other hatch across the street. That one looks much better. I like the rims too. They look like rota slips. I don't know if i like the sprayer in front, it looks kind of wierd on the car.

Those N2O coolers are pretty effective. I've seen an EK dyno and added 18 whp just with that. The reason why that car has such big wheels I'm assuming is due to an oversized intercooler. It appears to me that it is hanging pass the bottom of the front frame. I think those rims are the RJ DeVera signature ROJA. Overall, not bad. I think it's a little overdone.

.....and to add my 2 psi on the street legality of GReddy turbos......... FUK it! I just dont see why turbo a car and worry about street legality and smog. Having a turboed car...... let alone a turboed Honda and worrying about smog just doesnt makes sense to me. The purpose of the turbo is to add power. Adding power to a Honda and staying legal is battle that I will not even task myself........-end
