The coupler attached to the turbo is it the Turbo Silicone Coupler 2.5" 90 to 2" that zzp sell?

Also dope build! Sub

No i had to get it from summit, its 3.5 to 3.5 90 degree. I have the one from zzp but thats ment for the s256 and 259 which have smaller turbo inlet than the 257 sxe, i asked in the notes for them to send me a 3.5 but either they dont have em or they dont read the notes

Got in my first order of parts today. Here are a few. Not in pic , new set of opels, and some odds and ends like gaskets and trans parts

Sorry I just assumed since you got new injectors that you weren't running them before.

That sucks, and I heard they were fragile but that's kind or ridiculous. Still am curious about those nostrum energy ones.

tomj77 09-19-2016 06:22 PM

They have a little plastic part that goes into the rail that basiclly breaks from a slight touch

tomj77 10-29-2016 07:42 PM

So i got some dynamat from a friend for free and put it in the rear seat, trunk area, where i always hear gas tank sloshing. Reviews are great on this stuff, debating doing the entire car, would cost 300. Its about and 1/8 inch of ashfualt like material covered with heat resistant aluminum type material. Just stick it on where u want.

Screw it just fill your spare tire area whith concrete that will really deaden the sound.

tomj77 10-30-2016 10:22 AM

Ok whats the problem with sound deadening now? The weight? Its not much so its no concern to me

TurboTechRacing 10-30-2016 11:44 AM

The injectors work perfectly fine with those nipples broken off. Your right about them being ridiculously brittle. Now think about how your opel injectors are packaged when they are shipped to you. How sure are you that they are not already broken or cracked? It's not a seal, just a guide for the fuel which isn't really critical it seems.

If this is a car you are keeping for awhile, the sound deadening can be very nice. Especially on road trips where road noise and drone can be annoying.

And to hell with the weight, just add more power.
