I guess everybody else has one so I'll try and fit in.
I decided that I was going to turbo my car last year, but being on a college buget, I just started yesterday. I have all the shitty NA stuff off and im just fitting everything else.
So far my project consist of a 91 si hatch with a SOHC ZC. I'm thowing on a .42/.48 t3 from a saab using a HF mani with a adaptor plate. IC is a CCA (pre-sell out), and shitty second hand piping. Management will be TE for a couple of months untill I figure out my OBD0-1 harness
I'm doing all of this at my parents house and they have dialup so pics might take a while.

Stay tuned for pics

sweet im doing a hmt set-up on my sohc zc also only im going to 14b route with TE also. then on to crome as soon as i build the motor for more boost and change my turbo set-up.


but add some pics to see where you at .

 

good luck hope you can get it going strong

ohh yeah subscribed

 

YES!!! i am buying a saab t3 .42/.48 to put on my a6. where did you get your adapter plate? i could easily make one but dont feel like it. this thread made my week to see how someone is doing a setup similar to what i am putting together!!

 

sounds good...bring on the pics
(let me know if you need any more parts too )

 

haha.. I have one of those .42/.48's for a D at some point too

pics please...

 

dial up sucks..... hard

here they are, shitty cell phone pics. Top shot, the turbo is tilted so i can keep the internal wastegate, which turned out to be a huge hassle


Cold side is not clocked yet but you can see some of the metal I cut out. Yes that is silver spray paint. It was the only light colored paint i had, so I can see oil leaks better


Oil sandwich for the pressure sender and my turbo feed


DSM 450's, blacktop bitches


Aluminum flywheel, it's an old school findaza or some **** like that.


Plently of room for 2.5 inches of stainless steel goodness

 

DAMN...I just had a "camera phone build pic" flash back

Looks good so far

One more thing...
I have ARP headstuds but dont want to change the HG or take the head off. IS there an easy way to put them in? Could i change them ONe at a time or all at once?

I"ve got a 4' piece of 2.5" gates. I may have some 2" pieces already cut, how many do you need (I'll dig through the "Crate-o-miscellaneous couplers & bends" box tonite).

 

about 4 of the 2" and 2 of the 2.5 if you have any extras

Anybody haveany insight on the head studs? I would like to try them after work

 

anytime you un-torque your head bolts you need a new gastket, if you un-torque your bolts un evenly you risk warping your head. bad idea

 

Sorry for the n00b question, but in iquiring minds wish to know: What is "TE"? Some sort of fuel management?

 

TE is short for Turbo Edit. Its OBD 0 romediting software similar to crome and Uberdata

Damn, that sucks man. I came pretty damn close to my hand being in the bench grinder a couple days ago when I was grinding down my valve spring compressor so it would work, to be honest im suprised my hand didnt hit it or get sucked/stuck in it. It was one of those "damn that was to close to not happen"......incidents. Sometimes I just think stuff like that is one of those safety checks that life or w.e throws yah. sorry about the finger though man that sucks. GL on the build

 

It was kinda funny, I was taking off plastic and my finger stater tugging, looked down stay it it the grinder and dropped it. I a little bitch when it come to blood and stuff so i got one good look at it and called my sis to take me in. I just went back and theres still skin and blood on the grinder
I just cant figure out how it fell in, my hand was behind the guard.
First hospital vistit in fifteen year

 

FYI sawzall werks best for cutting out bumper hehe
