Nice Sw4y1313...hey give me a call tonight!

 

the 16g uses a diffrent housing, it used a td05, the manifold is made for a t25, u will need to buy a adapter on ebay, they sell for like 50 buks shipped, thats what i did, and ima just haave the adapter welded to the manifold, that should also give me a bit more room,

 

I could be wrong here but I don't think you can weld cast iron to steel very well. You might want to look into that.

 

i did a little research, it is possible, you have to go thru a couple steps though...but its possible...i googled it

 

Yeah, me and a guy I work with just googled it as well. The only problem is that cast iron is very porous and I'm not sure how well it would hold up during the heating and cooling cycles. I would just bolt it up with some gaskets personally.

 

yeah i can try that, but than i will have to re drill and tap the h oles on the adapter

 

What does said adapter look like then? I'm sort of confused here now.

 

Actually Vulcan makes an adapter that also brings the turbo down like 35 degrees or something. im going to see if they will make me a T25 to TD05 adapter so i can bring the turbo down a bit. That will give me the room for the turbo.

Sorry bro, i was out all day. The girl bought a 05 Ion 2.2 fully loaded today. I was helping her check it out before she bought it. I had to make sure it was mechanically stout you know

 

I HAVE A 75,000 mile warranty!!!!! WTF, i forgot all about that, i had pay'd for the extended warranty back when i got the car...****, boosting this bitch will void my engine and tranny part...sucks...hell my friend at the dealer said it might even void the electrical since you have to tune to get the car runing, and tuning is electrical....****, thats wasted money

 

umm well it'll void yur warranty if your turbo setup brakes anything.. it's not going to void you electrical.. ecm .MAYBE but they have to find the tune to know that ... however yes they have the potential to deny your engine and tranny warranty clamims because you're putting down more power then intended

 

sell it back immediately before you put more miles on the car, they will give you a prorated refund. those warranties are garbage for anything major, they voided mine when the crank pulley spun and took a chunk out of the crankshaft. they said it was because of my poli mounts and cai and coilovers.........

 

i will see if can sell it back, i think they told me if i went 3 years without using it that they would give me..umm. i forgot ho wmany thousand back...but i already used it to relace a tailight, a ICM, few check engine lights

 

seriously...

 

well i just heard from my friend that works at the dealer i get ALL my warranty work done at, said he asked his boss about my extended warranty, "we can still cover stuff on your car ..parts that are STOCK can be covered" thats what he said, so i guess my warranty is safe at that dealer

and hell, only thing modifed will be the aspiration, from n/a to f/i...engine stays stock

well i got bored and decided to redo my cruise control buttons



this time i used a better quality vinyl, the first one shows the new vinyl vs the old

 

to each his own...but to me they just look cheap...and it looks like you scraped the hell out of he steering wheel..but like isaid whatever you like its your car

 

yeah, someone took 1500 grit sandpaper to it....

 

Thats better. Really though, when you plan on doing stuff like this you have to plan for a lot to go wrong, and know how to fix it on your own as well. Or at least know someone who will help you out. When you fry a piston I doubt your dealer is gonna say, well, the piston is still stock...
Or maybe your dealer will, but I doubt that the regional rep will. But then again your dealer might be in good with them. Either way I'd say plan on having an extra couple grand lying around. Or at least enough money for a very cheap beater if you haven't got another car you can use. You never know what might happen

 

After market warranty? If so one of there people will have to come look and see it it's part failure or simply user error..which means you can forget about them covering it when it goes.

Out of curiosity that flex pipe will be quite restrictive won't it?

 

Welcome to my world. I too had the extended warranty but I never even got to use the factory warranty before I went crazy and don't ever think the wife lets me forget it either.

 

im no keeping the flex pipe that was just a lil tester, im using the the rest of my IC piping...i have loads of it left

yeah im just kidding about the engine being covered, but everything not modifed is still covered, paint, suspension, electronics, etc





well theres some pics of the adapter on the manifold, as you can see i will have to do some porting to the manifold so i can match it with the adapters inlet...and also in the last pic you will see where the adapter has a 8mm size hole, and the manifold has a 10mm one, so i will have to redrill and tap the adapter to be able to bolt it up, might have to shave some material off the turbo flange to clear room for the nuts to go on the studd... im still looking at it to see how ima work this out

 

Before going to far, just drill the holes out and use 4 bolts to mount the adapter flange. I personally would go that route rather than tap the adapter as you will have more change of snapping stufs/bolts. Then bolt the mani w/ adapter and turbo all up in the car to check on clearances etc. Please take some pics as well. I'm not sure how that is going to work out since 16g's aren't usually mounted at an angle like that. Really curious to see how it's all going to fit back there.

 

yeah i see what ur saying thats what ima do, im going to take a 10mm drill and go over the 8mm ones, than just put the studs on the manifold and slide the adapter on, than tigheten a nut on the stud, than check to make sure the turbo still slides in all the way cuz i think the nuts will get in the way of the turbone housing, so i might have to shave a bit off the sides of it, still dont know i havent really tried to mount the 3 together at once...and as far as the turbo in that angle it sits fine, i can actually swueeze the turbo thru the top of the engne in to the back even with the stock manifold on, fits just fine, there is more than enough room back there for this thing

 

there some pics of the turbo with the intake side converted to 2.5" that way i can use the left over IC piping for the intake aswell, i also have a 2.5-3 adapter to covert that 2.5 into 3" right before the filter so i can use a regular 3" filter, but honestly i am losing interest in boosting the car now, at first i was pretty excited, but now i have lost all interest in the project and wonder weather i should even continue, i have every essential part, every line, every fitting, ever tee, every coupler, i have everything needed to throw this bitch on except for the 42lbs injectors and a tune...i have 34lbs, but they wont hold max boost...losing interest, anyone want to take this **** off my hands?


theres a couple pics of the ebay intake that came in...filter looks ugly b/c of the epoxy, but i could careless, it works just right, filter is k&n FTW

 

so your giving up?

 

Don't call it quits now! You are almost there! Those 34 should handle the 10psi load without issues as your IDC's won't be as high as an SS/SC's with the M62. You can upgrade to the 42's later on if necessary.
