Hmm posted this in the FI looking for opinion and some help and it got locked.

last time i posted pics up of the car and the original turbo project.

incase u forgot what car this is going in.



just and over view of the turbo head, and parts



Big Problem!!!!!!! manifold cannot be bolted to the turbo because the oil line is in the way, asking flamco-T if he might have a 45 or 90 degre elbow that might fix this problem!!!! any sejestions?

HKS SUPER BOV



16x7.5 panther rims. soon to be wraped in 225/40/16 parada spec2's

hoping for 12-18psi daily on this turbo and setup, maybe 20+ at the track on race gas and a custom nitrous intercooler spray kit im making

It would kick on at 11psi and up, to save nitrous and cool the intercooler when detonation would be critical. more on this to come.

hoping to get a hatch bumper cover, oem foglights, and a lip to finish up the font end.

my intercooler sprayer project is as follows

boost activated switch to turn on nitrous silinoed at set PSI.
(example, set it at 11psi allows nitrous to flow at 11PSI and up cooling intercooler temps durring critical detonation situations.)

kit will also include a remote bottle opener so u don;t leave the car to activate it, and this will save nitrous because when u know u will not need it u can leave it off, but if u pull up to a light and u get reved, u just flip the switch and your all set for alittle 11PSI + runs.

Awesome

IMHO those wheels look like **** though.

I'll bring that front bumper up to Wooster on Sunday. Hopefully Tom won't go Arturbo on this thread .

Looks a lot better than it did the first time I saw pictures. Keep it up, dood .

Nice looking turbo setup. I think you already have the answers to your own questions. A 90 bend should do the trick for the oil line. I would try talking to Lovefab and see if you can get a custom downpipe made to fit the A/C.

SOHC_MShue

nice setup man

Which crower stage 2 cam is that? Is it the turbo cam or the all motor cam? Just wondering...if its the all motor cam do you think its gonna work alright with the turbo?

Snail Tuning

im considering using this to wrap my oil lines, waterlines, and any wires near the tubro and manifold. anyone have experiance with this stuff, i need something to protect my oil inlet line.


Cool protection for wires and lines.

An excellent way to protect wires, fuel lines, brakes lines, battery cables, EGR tubes, and more. The special weave of the sleeving allows it to expand over plugs and fittings when installing. Fasten using Thermal-Tie® or hose clamp. Material is noncombustible and resists water, fungus, and petroleum products.



- Withstands 1200° F continuous
- Rolls are 25 feet in length
- Adjustable inside diameter from ¼" to 7/16"
- Enhances style and improves heat protection
- Excellent for street rods and custom cars

im also considering buying a 6"x14" heat sheild blanket, to strap around my compressor housing to keep that alittle cooler, and reduce any lag, its only like 30 bucks any experiances?

TeamNextGenChris

as for suggestions on the downpipe and oil line,sounds like you answered them yourself-cut and reweld the downpipe and put an angled fitting on the oil line.
i actually dig the wheels.people will never suspect a car with thise wheels would be fast.
as for wrapping the lines,i don't have any of them protected on my car,and haven't had any problems in four years.

the guy i bought the head from says it the stage 2 turbo cam. hope hes right!!!!

i bought the head for 880 shipped already assembled. supposedly has only 1000 miles on it, and was completely rebuilt.

hope it performs well.

Snail Tuning

thats the idea. keep the outside semi low-key to avoid theft, but still serve some function. 9" contact patch should help with traction, it will look ok, just not a show stopper, and with bondo on all 4 corners it never will be.

i was just worried about the heat because the oil inlet may rub against the manifold and the waterlines will be close to the dp, just didn't want the high temps to cause any problems. im also peacing together an oil cooler kit to help things out, and i bought that dual core radiator to help out aswell.

s2000june

nice set up
doNt put them wheels on
they HIdious.. for real
live steelies on or sumthin

FERIOkid

i love your progress but you definatly need new wheels reguardless of the 9" width.... though

Tad

yeah I actually posted a remark about those wheels,
but deleted it so as not to be a jerk.

But imo,
if your just going to use the wheels to hold some huge grippy tires,
then I think they're ok.

BUT thats only if you only mount them once in a while, for important races and trips to the track.

gotta get something for daily driving that looks at least alright.

because I really do agree with civicrida3,
they're hideous, visually.

Snail Tuning

haha no one has love for the 3 spoke!!!!

ill see if my buddy has some pics of his 240 with the rims on it. his 240 looked mean as hell. i know its a sedan but it might look alright.

HATCHingMN

looking good!
I love that dual core radiator too

Racerage1

nice setup...

about your oil feed, why not try a banjo bolt?

Snail Tuning

is their a site that sells them on the internet? also the threads are rather odd, and my selection of parts in my local area is very limited. wayne county sucks. the guys at autozone, advanced autoparts, and napa have never seen a turbo outside of a car. one guy even asked what i had in my hand when i was standing in line.

Racerage1

hmmm...im not sure where u can get one. i would think NAPA would carry it, but i guess not. this is what mine looks like. its for the greddy 15g, so i dont know if it would be the same thread for yours:



size: 10 x 1.24 mm

Setup looks sick bro Keep us posted when you head to the dyno and the track

Snail Tuning

i cut the downpipe today turned out really nice. its ganna be really free flowing, and might keep the a/c i bought some nickel rods todaym im considering attempting welding it, but im ganna check with a few places first to see if they could weld it for like 20-50 bucks. id rather spend the 50 bucks and know it will never break then spend 4 hrs trying to weld it, i gess u have to warm the cast up to 250+ degrees before welding, heat the rods, and do 1" sections at a time, allowing the cast to cool ultra slow, (in sand) to keep it from cracking. so im ganna look for a good welder who has experiance.

locass316

damn i havent seen those since like 95

damn looking good
IMO wheels need to go

finaly welded the dp.



completly free flowing.




it will look alot better when its painted. im going to work on the stainles section of the down pipe this week.


I like the wheels!!!!

anyone else have sejestions besides the wheels.

also im hoping to get some jim fab traction bars, ground control coilovers, and tokico illumina shocks in the spring, should eliminate all wheel hop and allow me to launch extremly hard.
