Hey guys i just figured i'd share some pics of my engine while i wait for my turbo manifold to be done... I am waiting for a local shop to get done with a custom job

Engine Waiting for manifold


Greddy Emanage and T3/T4 waiting to go in


Brembos & Gorilla lugnuts waiting for Rota Subzeros



As you can see i am pretty much waiting for everything to come so i can finally finish my car, its been 8 months already (6 of those with license suspended- so not that bad) and i am finally down the home streach now but at least i have had the time to double and triple check everything.

Questions and comments welcome
And if anyone knows a good place to get the greddy pressure sensor and harness for the emanage let me know

Thanks
-James

 

looks great....love the intake manifold

 

Are you the guy that bought the STR manifold from my friend jonjon?

 

lookd good man , its getting there
still stock internals?

 

BrokenVTEC: Thanks-- i am hoping my manifold will be as good as the one in your avatar -- thats the fullrace right?

GudeH23a -- i dont think so i bought that manifold like 2 years ago of some guy in ohio i think

itr206 -- Thanks, yes stock internals right now, just have a thicker cometic head gasket, actually on the shelves behing the spray wax and the bottle of rubbing achocol there is a box with je 8.5:1 and crower rods i bought from someone on honda-tech i am planning do do those next winter with some sleeves

 

yup......www.full-race.com

 

Itr206: by the way i like that numbers you put out with the stock internals- good ****, i am gona be running the same psi i would be happy would those numbers, what did you do for fuel management?

 

hondata 4b, rc 550's which im selling soon for 780's or bigger
why8.5:1? your gonna have a hard time making power esp with a t3/t4.
im going down to 9.8:1, but i wanted to stick in the 10's, but got an awesome deal on JE and these were shelf pistons

 

8.5:1 is low...

try going higher atleast 9.5:1. I would understand if you went 8.5 and then 20 psi of boost everyday but I know you are not. Go with a higher compression.

10:1 for street cars at moderate boost =

thats what i think too . that turbo wont do all the work you need it to , you need some motor behind it

 

I agree, the lower CR you have the more boost you MUST run in order to counter the low CR.

 

dumb question: are the rotors on correctly or are they on backwards?

btw, great looking setup

 

Nice GL with your setup.

I have that same shelf but in black lol

well thanks for the comments, i guess maybe i should sell those pistons then and get what would be better for me...i wasnt happy about them anyway because they where used and i feel safer with a new set......oh and Colin dont think i forgot about you its been a little longer then expected but as soon as i get her running i am gonna set an apointment for you to tune the emanage and bring it over....as far as the pistons thanks evreyone for the input since i still have plently off time before i started that project i got time to get the right stuff

to tell you the truth i searched everywhere to find pics and facts on the right way to face them and some people have them the opposite way i do some have them my way....the thing that made me decide was that mos of the race car pics i saw (apex'i mr2 for one) had them the way i have hem so i figured that was right but i still havent found any statment on whats right or not

 

It looks like they are facing the right way.

That's the way Brembo's are supposed to be installed:

Which direction should the discs rotate?
It is a popular misconception that the slots or drillings in a disc determine the direction of rotation. In truth, for an internally vented disc, the geometry of the vanes dictates the direction of rotation. There are three vane types in use:
Straight
Pillar vane (comprised of many small posts)
Curved vane
The first two vane types are non-directional, and can be used on either side of the vehicle. The curved vane disc, however, is directional. A curved vane disc must be installed with the vanes running back from the inside to outside diameters in the direction of rotation. Please see figure. Orienting the disc in the manner creates a centrifugal pump. The rotation of the disc causes air to be pumped from the center of the disc, through the vanes, and out through the outside diameter of the disc. This greatly enhances the disc's ability to dissipate heat.

Additionally, all of Brembo's slotted discs are directional as well, regardless of the vane geometry. The discs should be installed such that the end of the slot nearest the outer edge of the disc contacts the pad first. Please see figure.

Turbo Type R

looks like youve got a great set-up

 

inspyral - thanks for finally clearing that up

Powered By D15 - Thank you, i am just hoping it will proform great after all is said and done

 

NICE, whats your manifold going to look like ?

 

Looks good
Quick question
Where are u fans that go to your Radiator
Did u take them off and gonna leave them off or take them off just for the installation?

 

hulkhb: Its going to be similiar to the kooks style as far as the builder says

Kutsuju_SLeePER: i have one fan that is in front of the radiator that is a "pusher" and blows air thru the radiator, thus leaving more room in the engine bay for the manifold turbo and wastegate... thinking about keeping this setup just maybe going to two fans and a fluidyne radiator

 

Ok, that all i wanted to know. U wouldnt happen to have and pics of it would u. All i need now is a PUSHER and im good to go. Thanx

 

i will take pics for you asap
