jimbo if you need any tuning help let me know, i'm kinda a good with turbo LSJ tunes

 

i will definately need some help. right now i'm just learning hpt, and going through greg banish's book on advanced tuning.

 

there are some good books on ECM tuning and turbo charging but please keep this in mind.

reading a book to learn the basics is a vary good way to start but i've seen a few to many people read "to far into" them. remember that trying things and overall experience are the best way to get good at something like this.

 

definately agreed, i have a few tunes that i have copied off of peoples cars that i will start toying with. this way i can start figuring out how hpt works before i accidently do the subaru mod

 

so is the manifold the last part you need to start the build? sorry just been away for a long time and i can only get on here once every blue moon plus it doesnt help that im running 56k

 

as soon as the manifold gets here, i can fab the down pipe and charge piping, then it will be a matter of installing and tuning.

 

hurry up!

 

well the manifold will be here thursday so i can get started from there. def gonna use the same piping route as the saab. right under the oil pan. right now i'm working on my sc tune so i can learn how to use hpt. btw i wanna run a scan on your car when your having the idle surging.

 

no problem it seems like its doing it all the ******* time right now!

 

have you gone to the dealer for the flash update. if you do and it works cool, if not i can reflash you to what you had before.

 

sorry for no updates in a while, got kinda busy with working on a tune and was still waiting on the manifold to arrive.

ok so here is the manifold.






i now have about 90 percent of what i need to do the build. as soon as i get the time i will get the downpipe and charge piping fabbed as well as the tb adapter, then it's just install and tune.(no it's not as easy as it sounds)

 

damn that manifold is pretty

 

i think so too, i keep bolting it up to the turbo to see how they look together.

 

lol why don't you show everyone else how they look together?

seriously the welds look really good and smoothed out well

 

i will this weekend if i get the chance to start the fabbing. yah vulcan did an awesome job building this manifold.

 

oh **** i didn't realize you had vulcan do it.. yea their stuff looks awesome quality for sure i'm looking forward to the pics this weekend

 

yah as far as i know they are the only ones who offer anything decent in the way of manifolds for our cars.

 

hey jim why isn't the flange bored for the egr like most of the headers that go on our engines?

 

what size is the inner diameter of the piping?

 

as far as i have seen it's not necessary, i may machine that part out a bit though.

i believe 1.75

 

oh really hmmm i'm tempted to be crazy at some point... and if i decide to go turbo instead of procharged for some reason change the flange on my zzp header dp and do a remote mount turbo, it wouldn't spool to bad cuz it's still pretty close but it would but crazy i think it would be neat, don't know if it would be at all possible though..

i can't wait to see your build man i love seeing all these turbo swap balts

 

i had thought about doing that with my pacesetter.

 

any updates

 

not at the moment, working too many hours to get the fab work done, as soon as i do the whole setup will be installed, allready have a spare oil pan so that will be pretapped for the oil return line. then it's a matter of getting it installed and tuned.

 

sexy sexy sexy, dude, im droolin here...
