then drive with the ebay one til i have the garret re-built

Ordering my piping, BOV, and my boost gauge today
Next week getting oil lines/oil fittings. Mounting it all. Getting my downpipe made!

pics of everything will happen soon.

updated first post..with everything i have now and prices

 

hey man i hope ur silicone couplers for the ic piping r threaded so they can take high pressure... if they look like mine on my thread DO NOT run high boost until u get some stronger ones... they will pop rite off if ur not to careful even while clamped on tightly... u can send me pix of one of em if u feel like it... also if ur gunna run in between 8-10lbs u MAY wanna upgrade ur fuel pump... its not required but it will help push fuel faster through ur bigger injectors also... do u know wat kinda tune u wanna run with? if u wanna b lazy and get sumone else 2 do it i suggest talkin 2 vince at trifecta performance and he will hook u up... or if u wanna feel like tuning it urself later on down the road on the fly, run with the AEM FI/C... need anymore help just ask!!

im babysitting his build, so hes straight. ive sat down with him and we have worked out what we all need, what tuning will be and what his direction is.

Oh and since im running 10-13psi PERFECTLY FINE, what bolt on fuel pump upgrade do you suggest i get my friend? Hmmm? Hmmmm?

 

bump because im a bitch

update-ish
going to be installing everything this sunday
thats going off that all my parts will be here by saturday

its coming down to the last wee days.

 

cook cool ps xs bob cost 50 new straight from xs, and the line routing is easy, pm me and I'll give u my # do we can txt, butvyeah the lines are easy, good luck, and the lsj injectors won't work only good to maybe 220chp get 42s they are good for a bit over 300

 

well im guessing i wont be pushing 220.
im think i'll be right around 200.
we will find out/see what vince has to say too.

JN2 sent you pm

 

jn2 we need to know where to run the coolant lines for the turbo, or do we even need to use them? i have pipe plugs that will fit to plug them if we dont need to use the coolant.

 

hmm good luck look foreward to seeing the result

 

Gotta find out is it's oil cooled or water/oil cooled.

 

dude, i already know its oil and water, thats why i asked that. but i was asking if it is absolutly neccisary to run the coolant or not, because i can plug them up iwth pipe plugs from work if it isnt.

 

here is a goodie that showed up at my house before work today, its prestons new manifold

 

hey that's the eBay one LOL I've been watching it, oh and u get water from one if the 2 heater hoses going into the firewall, return the water into the resevoir, via the line that connects the head to the tank

 

Alright, bit of an update..seeing as i haven't in a long ass time

Am not using either of the 2 previous turbos i bought..
they are BOTH for sale. The garret one that i thought would need a rebuild..doesn't
Vulcan Turbo said it'll burn a little oil if someone were to use it..and it doesn't look abused.
Ebay one..just sketchy on running it..

But i bought one that i will be using for sure..JN2 sold me his T25 off a DSM
I also bought a tapped oil pan for the return..so it'll be easier to drop the oil pan and just directly replace it with a different one.
Got my oil lines to, from Vulcan Turbo.

i updated the forst post with the parts that i have bought..and all

umm car MIGHT be getting done this weekend..depends tho. Still not sure..hopefully
because i got everything now.

But
almost there. Almost

 

Good luck. That T25 is going to have instant spool.

 

what are you running for a wastegate?

 

Yeah i realize that(i dont know if you were talking a bad way or good wayt)
but
i dont wanna break anything, and it'll be a nice starting turbo.

Come summer im building the motor (rods, pistons, head studs..)
and going T3/T4 Super 60 i think

Also InstaSpool FTW

Its gonna be internally wastegated to 11 pounds

 

Yeah boost will hit hard, about 2k it will start, by 3k u'll be at 15psi, if you leave it stick, u'll be at 11psi

 

guess my whole theory of trying to stay out of boost will not work hahaha

 

Instant boost is good, but it tends to get annoying spinning the tires loose every time you launch.

 

haha yea i do that now.. with no boost.. there's a reason i went for a procharger.. easier to launch and will give the peak power i want

 

yeah it'll be a bitch big time

I picking up some 14 inch steelies from a honda (love having 4 lug!!) for drag wheels...stock some radials on those should help a little.


You guys think my cars gonna mellow down alot towards top end? like when im getting up in the RPMS..or you think it'll
pull hard still..

 

wats your estimated completion date? as soon as these injectors come ima slap my turbo on. i already got my intercooler piping set up and ready to connect to the turbo for ease of maintenance. im runnin a t25 as well so if i get mine done before you ill let you know how it works out

 

Might wanna take it easy if you decide to use radials. They'll snap those axles like they're nothing, especially if you're going to have boost during the launch. Just something to think about. I would just get some nittos or something sticky, radials are a bit much for stock axles.

 

idk to be honest
would LOVE to get it done this weekend..
but
im waiting for my oil pan and nother turbo

hopefully this weekend...hopefully.


AXLES
thats a thing i need to upgradewhen i get the money..


i got KDWs on my rims...but my rims are ******* pigs big time

so i wanna get some small wheels for when i race at the strip

otherwise i could just get some really sticky tires for the 14's just need 2 and run stock wheels in the back

 

I'll do my best to have the turbo there by Friday fir you
