i want it hahaha.....thats why i wanna sell mine im gettin sick of my car...

 

i personally love my car. but the turbo would be nice.

 

i dont feel like going through all the pages what turbo are u using

 

it's up on this page... t3/t4 .57 trim

 

Any new news?

 

well... fucked my car up last night... wasn't planning on going out, ended up being talked into it... on the way home it blew the coupler off the tb so hard that it dented my hood and knocked some paint off... so I guess I"ll be ordering a cf hood. Broke the damn t-bolt the other day so I had a worm clamp there... Guess 22psi has some force behind it

 

DAMN that blows!!!

 

i thought i blew mine up last night after a 140 mph run. smelled out. turns out, it was a car way up the road that was dumping it.


use hairspray on your couplers.

 

**** you didn't **** up your car last night, you simply gave it a battle scar. Builds character bro!

22psi, Paul I bet with that you are around 400whp! I demand new videos now!

 

lol... need someone to hold the camera,
that hairspray idea sounds pretty good... might try it out. Probably rip the whole car apart again next weekend and go over everything to get it all good for the dyno on the 25th. Might even get some runs in next friday night.

**** was scary last night when it happened. all I heard was a really loud bang from the engine compartment, car wasn't making any boost and my cruising afr was a 10.0:1 had to keep speeding up and slowing down to keep it from flooding out (33 mile ride home) didn't realize what happened til I got back home

 

Did you clean out your underwear yet? I sure hope so because I know I would've **** my pants if that happened.

Paul do you have welded beads or a lip on your charge pipes to prevent the coupler from blowing off? We had to do that on my buddies WRX, and I did it on my Integra. Since then he hasn't blown a coupler, and I have never blown one. I also use constant tension clamps instead of t-bolt ones.

 

damn man that sucks big time.. however breaking **** just gives you a reason to replace things lol, you have a black car so i think CF will look sick on your car... maybe get that extractor hood ( the one that is flush with the read of the hood and has 2 holes) ? or the oem replacement one

 

damn bro..mad boost!

 

lol yeah came close to poopin the pants right there.... but I expanded all the ends with a pipe expander to make the seal really tight. Just so happens I had put on the bigger TB the other day and didn't have a 3.5" t-bolt clamp so I had used a worm gear clamp...... guess which one blew lol. But yeah when I do all the piping over for the gt3076 I"ll have lips welded on all the piping ends.

 

poopin the pants ftl

 

Sounds good man. I figured you would have already done it, but I was just double checking. So... when you are done with the .57 trim turbo, what are your plans for it? I think I might know someone that has a need for one possibly. Send me a PM please.

 

That is not a final decision yet..... But one of the local's car is all f'd up and he wants to do a turbo swap also

 

Cool man. Turbo swaps FTW! I wish my Cobalt even ran right now... I'm getting slowly depressed more and more about it too. At least my Integra is keeping me going, but I am 8 hours away from that too right now.

 

damn man, cobalt still isn't together yet? what the hell is goin on with that

 

Still waiting on my new blower, redesigned snout, return of my throttle body and pressure sensor, and new intake to come to me. I've been down since mid August and it's freaking killing me. I only have 2-3 weeks after I get back home on Friday until I have to leave for two more weeks of training, and then shortly after that it's off to the "sand box" again for 6 months! I really want to go cruising again before I leave too! I need my stuff back because I still have to finish tuning the car, and I also need to get my methanol kit trouble shoot and spraying right again so I can get my damn 300+WHP on the heartbreaker Mustang dyno I go to! I will have it once and for all! End Rant...

Did you fix the couper today? I hope she is up and running strong again.

 

Well maybe just a little bit

 

lol yea guess that 22 psi might have a small effect on that coupler lol. good luck paul, which c/f hood you thinking about?

 

hey paul, is it much easier to change your oil filter now that the charger is out of the way... lol

 

oh definitely

Car is back up and running as of yesterday afternoon, some on guys you know I waste no time lol.
As for the hood looking to get a cf oem style... keeping the car clean and simple on the outside... maybe tints too down the line but that's it.
Car is atill running a little funky though. now my idle afr keeps bouncing. Gotta go over everything again soon to find any leaks if there are any

 

im suprised the worm gear i sent ya let go. i used to run them on my dsm up to 28 psi and never had a problem with them.

then again, you're moving more cfm than i ever was.

any other issues??
