finally got my car boosted!

this project has taken me over a year already... it took forever to find the parts and i did EVERYTHING myself. feel free to post good/bad comments. it's currently running 7lbs of boost


note the G-to-the-HETTOness of the TB connector... gonna replace it with a nitrile soon.


charge lines and turbo setup


name that BOV


SMIC

CRX HF manifold
homemadeturbo.com xXx Adaptor plate
AFC hack on 390cc injectors
TD04-13b
DSM SMIC
NGK ZFR6J-11s
misc charge lines
awesome oil feed kit thanks to Flamenco-T

i made a downpipe but it's not really connected to the exhaust or cat... but at least it got a little quieter.

RAN IT AT THE TRACK LAST NIGHT!!!!!
i did a 17.68...

it's got tons of power but the clutch just breaks free when i get into boost... i ran it and i was like WTF revs going up, speed staying the same.....
i'm replacing the clutch this friday hopefully. parts already came in. it's an ACT stage 2 kit. should be good after that

Sweet. But that's an awful lot of IC piping to run. Why not just run the SMIC on the passenger side fender? That would free up ALOT of piping, and it'll be a straight shot into the TB.

Anyways, great HOMEMADE job!

 

nice job on the b.o.v.

1g dsm???

 

yup. duplicolor metalcast paint on a polished 1g dsm. it came out so blingin

TTT

 

Yep pics are good now

Have any pics of the entire car?

 

ahh, now I see em.. nice job on the bov

 

yes

 

nice work, what was the total cost?

 

all in all the turbo setup cost less that $500.

but $200 of those dollars went to the new O2 sensor

very nice dude....... im in the process of pieceing a kit together now....... hopefully will be done by this coming spring......

 

Looking good man, I'm working on the homemadeturbo install myself

I have a quick question for ya: what settings were you using for the VAFC hack with the 390s?

Congrats, and hope you rip off some blingin' times once you get that clutch replaced

 

if i remember right it's -34 idle, then -31 all the way across.

and it's still running rich as hell. sparkplugs, downpipe, everything, is black black black, and A/F gauge only lights up the last green LED at any time besides LTFC

i have an EGT with the probe mounted right after the DSM o2 housing at the start of the downpipe and it normally cruises at around 450deg at idle. ~600 cruising, highest i can get it to is about 1200deg if i hold boost in 5th going up a hill for a long time. i'm currently saving for a wideband o2 so i can do some tuning and watch whats going on. just another gauge to make my dash look more like a spaceship lol

 

the lengths we go to, to get some power.

 

were you able to keep a/c. also, what did you use for charge pipes, is that rad. hose? how did you manage to get that bov get on there?

to you

 

Nice job.
About how much money did you save? $500?

AC was never installed on my car, but i suppose it would fit without the SMIC there. the charge lines are pieces of 1g and 2g DSM charge lines along with compression bent 2" exhaust piping. the BOV is a 1g DSM and it's on the stock piece of pipe w/ flange. i will try and replace those shitty *** pictures when i can get my other digital camera working.

 

looks good
now buy a better digi cam
