no mani yet, still waiting on money

 

Got ya. My idea is to run the piping under the car from the turbo to the intercooler. It will still have clearance for the street and it will use a lot less which means faster boosting! You will probably have to make a special j-pipe outlet though for it which wouldn't be too hard at all.

 

sounds kinda like what paul was thinking about then running th intake over the corner of the engine and to where the stock airbox is

 

i c what you mean about running it under the car, i have seen a few of them, i forgot who did it, but i remember seeing piping going under...i rather my way for now, i dont wanna have 2 re-think to whole ordeal, lol, besides my filter will sit right where the old air box goes, i have enough room to put my K&n filter right there, and the piping for it will be easy

 

well guys now i have to go and find a 90*coupler, 2.75"-3" for the throttle body, and another 90* for the j pipe, 2"-2.5" to go into the IC piping, cant find them locally, so ima hit up some sites to find them, prob gon get them from threadstone, theres seem cheaper than the ones i see on ebay

 

well there you go, pod ina nd gauge in, i will have functioning pics of the gauge once i wire it all up, until than, here's this one

 

that would drive me nuts being right in front of the speedo tach cluster

 

Looks good. I could care less if it was in front of the speedo as long as it's not in front of the tach! I have my wideband mounted in a AEM cup right in the middle.

 

it only block the speed from 120-140, speeds which i dont really matter, cuz if im clocked that fast, im going to jail anyway lol...plus, i dont drive that fast anyway

 

Looking sweet. When you expecting some numbers? If you posted already sorry if I missed it, that's a lot of reading.

 

the only thing setting me back right now is the turbo manifold, i have everything else, once the turbo mani comes in i will be able to make the dp for the car, and run all the lines...do all the taps, than cap them and order the tune, so far i have done alot of the fitting, i try to keep the first post up to date, you can go back and look at it, its up to date as of 5/28...but i am looking into 200+whp range...i will be okay with 210-220, not looking for anymore, def wont take anything lower than 200whp,. i will up the boost until i get what i want

 

Cool cool. You having the manifold custom made, cause I think I've seen a few vendors have them on their sites. And I will keep a look out for updates. Good luck.

 

mine can only be gotten in 2 ways, 1 wait for the guy on ebay who custom makes them, or 2, buy it from vulcan turbo, which is what ima do, they make a stainless steel turbo mani with the td05 flange as a option, only thing is they put the flange right in the center, dont really know if that will work out for me yet, might take a closer look and see if i might need to have the f lange moved a bi more to the passenger side to clear room for the dp

 

Well that kinda of sucks but that's a custom set-up for you.

 

yup, but i mean it will be cheaper than buying hahns kit, not that i am bashing them, their kit is great and gives everything you need to run boost...but sets u at about 200whp, im looking for more than that, i mean 3300 for a kit that will bring me to 200whp, or half that with a kit that will bring me to 210-220whp at 1/2 the cost, yeah, u see where i am going...only thing that does sucks is the lack of vendors that make turbo manifolds...makes the ones that do cost alot...

 

Oh yea I damn sure understand. I want the Hahn kit just because I don't have the time for a custom set-up cause my Coby is a DD sooo....

 

mine is a DD aswell, only car i have, but i am carefully doing everything as it arrives to avoid any down time, i do alot of it on my days off works, and when i get the mani i will have 3 days in a row off to make everything...same when i get the tune,i will have 3 days off work to focus on the car alone

 

If you need the turbo flange moved to one side or another let us know! we can easily put it in a different location, wont take any longer to ship or cost any extra!

 

hey whats up vulcan, i havent seen you on here in months

 

wow didnt even know you had a SN, so did my email get ur attention i dont know if i need it moved yet, need to take a closer look at things, as you can see the manifold is pretty much the only thing holding me back...once i get the mani in i will be able to make the rest happend, tune, and be on my way


there you go, i installed the gauge today, loosk great, works great, reads my vacuum , cant wait for the boost to come

 

HAHA, well it damn sure looks good, stock gauges compared to this is FTL! They need to be brighter now.... And I'm getting kinda of anxious about this. And I don't understand, so you install stuff on your car and still drive it around correct? Just basically plus the lines and stuff?

 

yea he's totally rice well for now.. then again i might be doing the same thing in a few weeks or so

 

haha whats up mike... hows the manifold working? I been all sorts of busy lately, were lookin into buying a CNC plasma table, its gonna be pure madness in the shop if that thing comes around.

 

i install everything, than take it all off when im done fitting them, i dont keep them on the car, thats rice to have a IC just chilling in the front of the car for no reason, i do all my fitting by taking off and putting back on when im done...yeah im thinking of getting some led's for the cluster, they are nothin compared to the glow of the gauge...

 

its doin great....was a very nice piece of work...had to have the out flange milled though
