2.4 section is lookin a bit dead, so since im installing my turbo setup this fri and saturday i figured id post some progress... here's the parts i picked up from Maven a few weeks ago and some of the stuff ive added as well...

















stuff i got from maven was pretty complete but i needed to get fittings and lines so i could use the water cooled portion of the turbo..

things i added to the setup are:
Glowshift boost and vacuum gauges
Innovate lc-1 wideband
bov
3 gauge a pillar

Idk wut psi the spring in the wastegate is, so ill find out then. im hoping its a 5 or 7 and not the 10 so i can have @ or around 250 whp so i dont blow out my clutch so fast lol. either way im taking it easy as the checks come in. spec 3+ clutch is my current choice as of now. once i get the clutch in im using a www.cimotorsports.net boost controller and prolly upping it to 12 psi or so. I'm currently a trifecta dealer so that's my method of choice for tuning as well...

I went ahead and installed my gauges so theyd be ready for friday so heres a pic



the glowshifts are pretty nice.

 

Nice set up and yeah those glowshift gauges are really good for the price, i have the same 2 you have

 

why a volt meter? should have gotten something like an egt... or fuel pressure

 

i had an oil pressure gauge originally but i started to read all the threads on the install process.. needless to say it "appeared" hard so i exchanged it for the voltmeter, but i will be replacing it with an interceptor after i get the clutch. lol such a noob swap i know. i discovered later that the oil pressure gauge install really isnt that hard.

plus i have a bit of audio and hids and all that.. dont wanna kill my battery lol

 

nice socks!!!

 

damn beat me to it

 

gold toes from burlington ftw

 

install day is tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!

 

Get rid of that cat, they are horrible, otherwise your parts look good. Good luck!

 

I hate people that can afford these goodies... Looks nice though...

 

i honestly want to but it doesnt really bother me at this point. i dont wanna have anyone messing with the dp. im currently catless now and dont even have a second 02 so i dont really need the cat.


honestly the kit was cheap. i saved money and saw it fs in the classifieds.

 

I can't wait!!! Gonna be fun!!!

 

Its lookin sick man, install should be fun.

 

lets us know how it goes. i am a little bit knowledgeable about cars, but would not feel comfortable by myself doing this. are you getting help?

if i could find a person around here to help, i would be a lot more confident to do it, maybe start buying parts now. all i need is the 1 time with help, then i should be good forever...im a quick learner

 

Sweet build man, have fun with it. Did you get a deal on the GT30 or something? That's a big turbo for a max of 12PSI, a little K03 or GT2560 would have made 12PSI practically off idle with your 2.4, heh.

 

itll be like my first and last turbo basically it should be enough to get me wut i want down the road after the rebuild. 12 max is BEFORE rebuild

 

we need to meet muhahahahahahah

go for 15 psi before rebuild .. ***** lol 350 whp stock everything or bust for me lol .. i have the ability .. lol 2.55 pulley is sitting in my closet lol 10 -11 psi now .. i'd be at like 15 with that maybe more .. lol it's tempting lol

 

got it all in!!! pics to come later... only downside is the tune i got from trifecta didnt take so i gotta wait for a new one

 

post pics :p

 

my engine bay is soo rice right now its not even funny

cant wait to get custom piping

 

rice is cosmetic, as long as boost flows thru them pipes, its not rice

 

as long as it flows and stays im good

 

Nice build, I have a couple 38mm springs if you want one. Its a small blue (8.7psi)

 

the tune didn't take? oh like calibration error? yea that happens sometimes.. are you using a gt tuner? because it happens even more with them lol

 

yea tune didnt take. i got the ez flash cable
