Pretty standard TT/Vitara setup on a z6. I'm currently running a .48/.60 T-bird T3 and am going to have some fun with it for a bit before I get a bigger turbo and intercooler. I haven't tuned it yet but I'm only shooting for 300 whp, I'm sure I'll up the boost at some point and test it's limits since I have a spare block now.

Specs:

'92 dx sedan
Z6 block/y5 vtec-e head
75mm Vitara pistons
OEM main/rod bearings
TT rods (one rod needed machining to fit the wrist pin)
TT 660cc injectors
Stealthmode oil lines/firewall kit
Supposed prototype Blur manifold, feels pretty expletivein solid
TiAl 38mm wastegate
JRC 6" intercooler (for now)
Walbro 255lph LP in-tank pump
.48/.60 60 trim T3
Greddy Profec Type S EBC
1G DSM BOV
2.5" charge piping, downpipe, and exhaust. Exhaust consists of a 2' long cherry bomb for a resonator and a generic turbo muffler.

Obligatory rod/piston shot



Block notched



I got shiny instead of flat aluminum engine paint on accident and just said expletive it. My block is mexichromed out :8



Boost, oil pressure, boost control



The closest button to the shifter is hooked up to the EBC to switch between high and low boost settings. Right before I shift into 3rd I hit it with the heel of my hand to switch to high boost. Lower **** is the gain control for the sub amp.



I knew my intercooler piping had begun to rust even after I painted it, it's mild steel and has been through 2 Wisconsin winters. I did NOT know that it was all rusted on the inside, maybe even worse than the outside. It ran great and I had no idea it was this bad; glad I saw it before my engine ingested rust flakes.





So I picked up an eBay aluminum piping kit for $100 shipped, not a bad deal. expletive some rust.



Al tubing installed, I reused the 45 off the throttle body with the bov flange on it because I'm lazy



And a little before and after shot

Yous gonna get raped son......

hahahaha

HMT fo Lyfe

 

why its not that bad......i mean the one fab manifold doesn't have the best rep, but its not SSAC....and the piping....well i'm sure it could have been done much cleaner with a little more time into it. . . . but overall looks good...should make decent power.

 

Hey the piping is perfect, just that one 45 off the TB has some surface rust

 

did you get the block bored? what size vitaras? what kind of vitaras?

pure garage hone?

hehe i wana do a ghetto vitara soon

 

It says that in my post, reading > you

75mm. I just had the machine shop hot tank and hone the block and hone the one small rod end for the wrist pin.

 

any piston slap on the pistons?

 

Of course

 

is yous goin get raped???

 

Some mod yelled at me for having the word "raped" in my avatar so I had to change it

BDVT smokes rocks son, and tires

 

So what are your goals for power? I wouldn't be happy with anything less than 18psi on that snail

 

My goal is 300 whp which shouldn't be hard. That's really pushing it with this turbo, but I am upgrading to a t3/t4 sometime next year. Right now I have it tuned up to 12 psi due to there constantly being snow on the ground and not getting traction and it's already a ton of fun

 

how do yo ulike the vtec-e head with the build?

i have the option for either z6 or the vtec E, but I am gonna use the z6

 

The y5 head is great. 45 mpg highway

 

How much are the rods? Niceish setup.

 

$250

 

You say that manifold isn't SSAC;

http://www.ssautochrome.com

look 4 yourself.

SSAC is a distributor/retailer, not a vendor.

Those manifolds are not manufactured in Taiwan like the other products they have; I believe they may be made in Mexico; I have not been able to find out the vendor info on them yet.

Just compare this manifold to any of SSAC's products: you can see that it was welded, not just touched by a TiG, and it is of a much heavier and better material.

Rated between 500 and 800 Deg F. Not too shabby; considering the manifold itself does not maintain a 800+ temp for long unless you would be at max boost on a 5th gear pull for 5-10 min.

 

It's made of thick piping and the welds look good, it feels very solid.

 

HMT ROCKS

 

i got a homemade turbo [racial pejorative], thats where it counts, i got them polyurethane motor mounts.
