uh yea really excited

how big of a whole did this put in ur wallet so far

Sentry

Probably around 4,000. I could have done it a lot cheaper, but I have larger goals than what my stock motor can handle. For instance, the intake manifold was totally unnecessary until I up the boost. That's 550 right there, not to mention the turbo was a little pricey. It will all be worth it in the end.

You could have done a much smaller turbo with 2.4 manifold for around 2500-3000.

I have got the manifold on, changed the plugs. Waiting on the rest to come in, right now we're just chilling watching pinks on tv.

I called my turbo supplier monday he said it would go out then... i called again today to double check, gave me a tracking number that wasnt working in UPS system, claimed it was for whatever reason but that it DID ship out, hope he didnt drop the ball on this one. let me know!



Want one?

So if i were to F/I my car and only run about 5 lbs of boost is there anything like do i reeally need bigger injectors and a tune or can it run on 5 lbs no problem i know its a low number but hey money is tight and its my daily driver

OH and one more thing...DEF show off that intercooler there is nothing cooler than that look

well to each is own...

mrsilent13

no you cant run 5lbs on this engine too many sensors....when i first started i set my wastegate to zero until i could get it tuned...so if your going to turbo it...go for it set your wastegate to 0psi...and you will be straight until you can get a tune and bigger injectors...at leasts some 42's...but def do your research before you ask these questions

hey Sentry looking good...congrats on getting that oil cooler...the stock one sucks....i have a 4 pass hayden on my tranny...as for my build...i have no cash to finish at the time...still looking for a job...and still waiting on my last check from the marines corps...so once i get my last check im sending my car to the shop to get it back on the road...then to tune it for 12-14lbs....until i can get a different manifold that will hold more boost...good luck gettin this finished...your going to luv it

Sentry

Well, if any of you guys are still awake, I'll run an take some quick pictures.

Long story short, UPS lost my package today in Tennessee somewhere, so my 2 day air was for nothing. The turbo, manifold, wastegate, oil lines, and vacuum hose is supposed to be in tomorrow prompt. All I did today was the essentials: removed headers, replaced spark plugs, installed maf adapter, finished routing the IC piping, installed the vulcan intake mani, installed the 42's.

Checklist for tomorrow: Drill and tap oil pan for return, install header, turbo, solder injector harness, hook up the pipes and then tow to exhaust shop and I'll be complete.




Pic of the vulcan manifold on.



What I'm focusing in on is the bov adapter pipe.



This is the MAF adapter I told you guys I was getting at autozone. It ended up being like $30, have to order it though. part number 9405. I had to zip tie the radiator hose out of the way, it ended up being right over where I needed to complete the tubing up.

mrsilent13

is that going to run ok...with the sensor in that position? why didnt you leave it on the intake pipe going to the turbo?

vulcanturbo

Sentry i tried to call UPS but appears there not there right now.. to late i guess? Ill call tomorrow, there was no reason for that package to not been there today! Hopefully i can talk them into refunding me or something!

Looks really good so far!

Sentry

Because my blow off valve is atmospheric only. If I run it draw through like that, every time my bov actuates I will run super rich because the sensor is reading air that is no longer there. My maf adapter is 3", so no worries. This is actually the preferred method when doing atmospheric bovs.

looking good man.. good to see my IC piping goto a good cause can't wait for running vids..

oh and just a bit of advice did you use hair spray on the pips ? that'll help it not slip off and cause boost leaks

Sentry

That will be tomorrow. I won't be pushing it hard at all though, just short trips up the street and back.

What the ****? Hairspray? No offense, but that sounds like a good way to blow something up if those fumes build up in the pipes.

Does that really work?

good **** man.. you gonna be up for a bit? mind a quick chat on aim about some things? definitely don't beat on it too hard right now you need a break in period

that intake manifold manifold is smecksie
lol

mrsilent13

i run an atmospheric bov...and i have my sensor on the intake pipe just like the new tc does...and never had an issue with it going rich everytime it blew off. ran perfectly fine..but its up to you...its looking good

ha thats a good idea...the hairspray will help it stick...thanks for a good idea

Looking good. Make sure to get lots of pics of the install, and beer

Sentry

Ok, package hasn't come in yet. While I'm waiting though, I did rewire the injector harness.








By the way kids, don't be in a rush like I was and lay a soldering iron that's operating at 800 degrees fahrenheit on a bed sheet. It will burn **** up, as the last pic shows.
