lmao ..lets give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he thinks im going to run it without a intercooler (like some ebay kits have i guess) ..but yeah..further proves how much people r quik to talk sh** without knowing what they are even talking sh** about ..ban wagon ignorance..

 

and every1 thats just coming on this thread ..page 5 i have some pics and a list of parts … driving me crazy sitting in my room in boxes ! cant wait to get her done ! soon as i have another appointment for the tune its going down ..good bad or indifferent im really stoked to post some results ..#iliveforthisshit!

 

finally got start on my build im on my second day and things are moving along well ..so far ive tackled the bumper, injectors, map sensor, manifold,turbo, oil in and out, dp is out, and oil pan

figured ide post som random pics i took

better angle ..in the upper right corner u can see the feed line..its kind of swooping around..does anyone think thats to long?like you think it will cause restriction? i can cut it i just hate dealing with getting hoses into those fittings lol its not touching anything ..just def a lil bendy and excess for sure

this was another victory photo..lol getting that oil pan off was a b*&^% ..

 

random pic..the layer! lol f*&^ing oil pit in my garage ..bout 4 feet deep..how bad@55 is that?

 

welp thats all for now..time for me to try and mount this intercooler..i dont think ill be able to sit it flush against the lower grille its too big..ill have to set it back a little so i can raise it ..any1 have any suggestions on mounting the ic?

 

Good luck with it. If this turns well, you may even try to put a kit together and start selling it.

 

Lol thankz man itd be better tho to just have to list on here and mayb save some people a few bucks

 

Does any1 kno a trick to get this map sensor in from zzp.. It almost seems like the little holder is too small for what it has to clamp down on? Anyone?

 

dude tell me how the hell did you manage to get that oil plug out? I tryed so hard but that stupid coolant pipe is in the way

 

Deleted my last reaponse cuz thought u were talking about something else.. But i can stand up under my car soo mayb that gives me an advantage lol.. Took me about 30 seconds

 

You're welcomed. I really don't agree with what you're doing, I would never install a kit from ebay not even if it was free, but I have no intention to write you all the things that others did, it's just not me, but it's your car, your money and your decision, and honestly I hope everything goes well, for you and for the people here. 90% of the people here are college guys and can't afford to spend $4k or $5k for a kit, and if you get this to work fine, you could give a great help to these people. I also opened a thread about this kit because I came across it before I saw your thread, and I wanted to ask the community what they think about it, hoping that it could help young guys to make some power with little money. Really good luck, let us know how it goes. When are you planning to start driving it?

 

Lol if one more person says im putting on a ebay kit i might hang up! Its just an ebay turbo.. If u wanna call it a kit its a zzp turbo kit with a ebay turbo lol.. And my tune appointment is on saturday soo if all goes well saturday night

 

And thankz man.. Ill probably need a lil luck lol.. Im hoping some know how and name brand support itll be smooth

 

Where are you going for the tune? I need to retune my car but I don't know anyone. I see you are in Long Island, my kids live there, I come to LI at least once a week.
I saw that you ended up getting everything else from zzp, that's why I think you should be ok, the only issue could be the turbo, but if it costs only $ 150, well then it's worth it a shot. You have the zzp manifold, so eventually if the turbo blows and you want to get a good one, you already have a good manifold to start. How did you manage as far as DP and CPs?

 

Cool man im talking to this trifecta tuner out in bk kyle bennington .. Ull find his info on the trifecta website .. And as for the charge piping im literally doing that rn .. Lol diy piping .. So far i have it going straight over the vavle cover like the zzp setup .. Think thats the best way .. Shortest route=less lag= .. And the dp im trailing the car to my friends place tmr or friday to bend and weld it up .. Next up run my gauges and vac lines and im done

 

So you should be done soon. I'm really looking forward to see how this turbo will perform overall. I wold like to take a look at it some day, if you don't mind of course.

 

Yeah man for sure .. Let me kno when ur out here im usually at the runs in farmingdale on frodays and or saturdays

 

:-)

 

heres the piping i put together ..had to do alot of cutting and what not but it was fun ..and please take a look at how i ran my vacuum lines..i honestly just did what i thought maid sense mechanically ..oh and boost gauge ..t off b4 the bov?
