well started pretty late today all i got done with the intercooler mounting and long block assembled, oil pressure gauge installed, golden eagle vacuum manifold installed, only thing missing is complete intake manifold. i have a y8 intake manifold but im scared it wont work with my z6 with d16z6 hondata gasket. WOULD IT WORK? would there be any leaks? cuz when i used the hondata gasket with my y8 long block it leaked. but now this is a z6 long block hmm. doin all my work with a friend at my bros shop

there's more can't think of it right at this moment. been a long day. here are the pics let me know what u guyz think bad quality though camera phone but hopefully i get better/more pics tomorrow it will be updated. flame away

pics with bumper on intercooler already in. cant even see it should i cut the grill?




oh and did i tell u my bro ONLY carries SNAPON tools from hook tools to screw drivers etc. lol. makes it sooo much easier believe it or not this baby right here can take out an axle bolt like nothing


and this baby right here made the intercooler mounting very fast!


there are the pics. let me know what u guyz think any opinions/help on my setup would be appreciated!

oh and i was gonna use a ssautochrome mani but noones gonna make me a new downpipe so im not gonna use it for awhile.

^^06/27/04^^


ok here are the better pics i promised. well we got the y8 out and swapped everything in. still not done. friend got lazy hopefully i get done in couple days. is it ok to drive my car with no intercooler piping? i ended up using the y8 i/m hope it doesnt leak.









im worried about my oil return i used a clamp to open that kink back up







hondata gasket with y8 intake manifold hope it doesnt leak.


^^o6/28/o4^^

well im done with the swap/turbo install next is the nx ntercooler kit. but first i gotta take care of the leak at the intake manifold. just like i thought it leaks. imma have to find a skunk2 intake manifold now or just a z6 i dunno. im pretty pissed. i need to get t3 turbo gasket it leaks at the flange also. the wastegate is pretty loud lol. but with the leak it makes my **** rev up and down i hate it. not happy with the swap but hopefully this is easy fix. either than that it drives smooth.

can't hear the bov though. i want to hear that infamous hks ssq blow off but im running stock injectors. does anyone know where to set my fuel on vafc? with stock injectors for the time being? until i get the 450's in?

well here are some more pics. oh yeah i just went and did my intercooler piping. came out pretty damn good i think used an electric saw to cut the pipes. and i have to mod my a/c mount too lol. should have taken pics of it. but damn the electric saw cut it real easy. enjoy! oh yeah installed my aem fuel rail and walbro pump also









^^o6/29/o4^^

k wtf are these lil holes and notice the y8 gasket is way different?

thanks for the replies uploading new pics right now but one question..

would it be ok to drive my car with no intercooler piping? will that over spin the turbo? someone guy said it wasnt a good idea. but i have no car to drive. lol.

egturbo

He spent his money on some nice car parts instead of a blingin $800 digital camera thats gonna be worth $0.50 in a five years. What a dumbass.

un - thermal wrap that IC piping. Trying to cool it down not keep the heat in.

djwest24

looks nice! kinda like my setup...

and i'd like to know about the IC piping wrap too...

egturbo

done! but one thing leaks at intake manifold im using hondata z6 gasket with y8 manifold. leaks. revs up and down. vacuum leak. omg i hate this. gotta look for a z6 or skunk2 one now. anyone got skunk2 for sale cheap? will post pics in a min. gotta eat so hungry its 12 am here

egturbo

sporkcrx

I enjoyed the pics

egturbo

thanks for the nice replies wow. my engine bay gets so damn hot. time to get a vented hood. car running like ****. throwing five codes revs up and down all day at idle shifting sucks doesnt blow off. leaking at intake manifold. just lil problems but sucks.

the codes the ecu is throwing is 23, 3, 10, 15, 17

It might be because you insulated your Charge Piping...

The piping is already going to get hot....you can't make it cooler than ambient air by exposing it to ambient air Granted, compressed air is going to be hot but I'll bet the air under the hood is hotter.

If you wrap it or thermal coat it, it will do a better job of preventing it from getting hotter, it won't make it hotter though. Your charge air is cooled with the intercooler, not the piping in the hot *** engine bay!

So yes, thermal wrap or thermal coating can be good for your charge piping.

sweet thanks

CHONCH

good looking setup!

why did you insulate your charge piping?!?!?!

yes, it will insulate it, but it will also keep the heat in once it becomes heat-soaked.

egturbo

there is a lil spot open next to the bov and when i touch it its still cool to touch and the bov will be hot so i think it works.. but that setup is for sale only the swap no turbo stuff
