back in the air again for the 3rd time to fix a leaking oil pan tap......smh !!

guttamane2486

back in the exhaust shop to have a dumptube made and 02 sensor bung welded in my downpipe.

And now how she sits patientially waiting for my fuel pump and injectors to arrive via ups.......then she's off hopefully friday to be tuned !!!!!

guttamane2486

Lately been trying to fix small things such as those ugly zip ties on my radiator and the charge piping on the drivers side that looked like **** and needed to be cut and adjusted.

guttamane2486

Well the fitting on the right i had laying around the house for a while with intentions on using it for my oil return until it suddenly hit me that aluminum cannot be welded to my steel oil pan so i took a trip down to AED in richmond and purchased the fitting on the left and i can say now after having to pull my oil pan twice and put my car back in the air 3 times this may have been my worst purchase of this whole adventure cause this thing leaked like hell everytime !!

Just a quick pic of my dumptube and the weird location of my o2 sensor bung..........I measured twice and my wideband cable should be long enuough !

guttamane2486

let me add that i just recently purchased the car about 2 months ago and since then ive been correcting several things on the car . Things such as the bungee cord around the battery and electrical tape over holes in the trunk were a hideous spoiler was placed. Dangling wires throught the engine bay and things or that sort so please dont mind the remaining eyesores as they will be tended to vey soon.

guttamane2486

was actually on a thread last nite reading up on a oil restrictor. just unsure of the best placement for one.

Idk about that manifold
But I'll hold my comments. Having a turbo is fun but you have to pay attention to everything about your car

guttamane2486

Please speak up......I know that manifold will probably have cracks in it before the end of the year. But I'm all in for opinions and suggestions let me hear it !

Looks just like my 1st turbo setup 10 years ago. Not to be a downer but that manifold is going to crack. You can pick up a log style mani for pretty cheap nowadays. You're going to have a blast driving that thing.

Ok...
What type of turbo and wastegate are you running? My neighbor has that manifold, they're not great, crack central. Cast manifold would hold up better.

guttamane2486

Yeah I keep hearing

guttamane2486

The turbo is a ebay 57 trim .....godspeed I believe is the brand if that matters......and I don't have a clue about the wastegate it was on the cast manifold I had that was the wrong flange for my turbo ao I ditched the cast manidold and kept the wastegate.

guttamane2486

I had a cast manifold.......from the looks of it I will be purchasing one in the near future. Any recomendations ?

guttamane2486

Car will be on 10lbs with stock map sensor , dsm 450s , walbro 255 and chipped p28 on neptune.

Psi is not a measurement of power. I can not comment on Godspeed turbos because I run a Garrett. If you have little information on the wastegate then you might want to investigate that before you move forward. If your going to turbo your vehicle I would hope you'd know everything there is about the items your installing.

guttamane2486

yes i am fully aware of that and by no means at all was that a reference to a power goal just simply stating that with my supporting mods and the fact that im on a stock map sensor that 10lbs is what the car will be tuned to accordingly regardless of power levels achieved at the amount of boost.

Instead of re doing the entire setup, take that manifold and brace it like crazy. It will last longer and can give you time to save up for a new manifold and downpipe setup. People have made those manis work with a lot of bracing. Not sure how long though.... The inline pro manifold is real nice if you are looking into something cast.

guttamane2486

yes i agree about the wastegate i was told that it was a off brand ebay wastegate with a 7lb spring in it. Not that that justifys it usage any but as far as info on the part that is currently where i stand.
