Questions? Comments?

 

looks really good . What kind of numbers are you putting out? I dont see many homemade setups on 99 si's but yours is good. Let us know what kinda times you get and again good job

 

Honestly I have no idea. I just started driving it today. I have a slight oil leak at the T. My T on the block has the oil feed at the top, and the oil pressure sensor at the bottom. The rubber "hat" of the sensor just barely clears, and the oil is seeping out of the "hat". So i'm going to try and extend the wire and cover it up more and hope that fixes it.

I just took these pics with the flash on, cuz it's night out, and it looks really dirty. But it's actually pretty clean!

Im guessin around 210 crank horsepower? I don't know. I want an Apex'i Rev/Speed. Oh yeah I have an HKS turbo timer i need to hookup.

 

how did you get that red hose kit?
Looks good! It's nice to see someone put their own time into building there car it makes it that much better!

 

looks really nice besides the NET you have over the compressor inlet....good thing your turbo wont be able to suck in anything over 1/4" in diameter ...

 

when does the turbo spool by?

 

I'll figure out something for the compressor inlet. Turbo spools around 4Kish RPM.

 

did you fix the oil leak at the t fitting ? If not the fix is you have to go buy permatex part#56521 its the only thing i found that works . the reason must be because the oil pressure sender has metric pipe threads and your t fitting has
1/8" ntp threads so they dont seal so well. make shure the parts are clean and it must sit over night before you can use it .

 

are you going to put a filter on that beast or just run it without one?

 

i was expecting a ghetto turbo set-up from the name of your title . turned out pretty good , what did the final cost end up being ?

 

Yeah what is your total investment???

Looks great though!!

looks good

 

get some finer mesh for the turbo...inlet

 

I will get some finer mesh. I have an HKS filter i want to put on, but i'll worry about it later, cuz i have no pipes.

I will do a write and prices and stuff.

As far as the oil leaking at the pressure sensor. I think i gotta take it off, reclean it and put some permatex on it. Cuz its still leakin there. What a bitch.

 

thermal wrap those A/C hoses

I might be misunderstanding you... but have you considered getting a bspt adapter?

 

haha, i'm using the same turbo in my setup good stuff!

 

I have a BSPT to NPT adapter. It's leaking at the actual Sensor. The rest of the T is dry. Where can I get some finer mesh?

 

looks real good.

 

Looks good. Is that water on the paint? just wondering.

 

Yes, it is water. it was raining. Look for a writeup later this week

 

your setup looks good. Im looking forward to see it around town or at the lot, where ever that is nowadays

 

Can you post some daytime pics? Im thinking of getting my wheels powdercoated black like yours...they are powdercoated right?
