marcj's farfrumslo EJ8
Why hello sirs! I lost my last build thread with an old user name.. So I'm starting over and skipping all the actual previous work and start at where I am now with a very vague introduction, since I plan on doing so much more I figured WHY NOT?!
it started like this:
B16A 9:1 pistons
T3/T04E 57 trim
dog turd drag manifold
dsm 450's
etc.
ran like a champ until the turbo started smoking and blowing oil out of the dp.
picked up this from a member here for $260 shipped
decided to continue running the blown garrett because i'm not very environmentally friendly
picked up great mid-range from the new manifold.. it actually helped spool time too
then I came across this beautiful turbo.. for $170 shipped.
had some problems with fitment.. not only the wastegate was the problem, but the compressor wasn't clearing the cross member
got this idea from a friend
used 3" stainless steel.. all cutting and measurements done by myself
everything fit first time.. had my local exhaust shop weld it up at no cost
turned the EVO intercooler into a backdoor entrance.. spent $30 total
did some tuning
and this is how she sits
Things that I will be updating over the following weeks:
Drag clutch capable of over 400 ft. lbs
3" V-band down pipe (running 2.5" since it's all I had at the time)
3" Thermal exhaust (was waiting until I make the 3" downpipe)
780cc injectors or EVO 560cc and FPR set at 60psi
aluminum radiator since my oem is cracked
reducing IAT since the sinktrap is close to my IC backdoor entrance
DIY water/meth injection system
traction bar
upgrading the ems to ectune ;D

Re: marcj's farfrumslo EJ8
my clutch doesn't hold enough to put massive G's on it, so it's fine for now.. I've checked all of the welds and they look great.
the up pipe is holding the big turbo and the down pipe going all the way past the stock o2 section. I plan on bracing it before I run any more boost.
