New Turbo Set-Up...
 

Camera didn't like the in-car videos. Too much noise!

Videos are in HD, as well.

#1: I shifted to 4th right as I passed the camera.

#2: Started at like 45mph.

#3: 3rd gear pull.

#4: Tried to capture the Boost Gauge. You can see it start to flutter like crazy, before the car decided that it wanted to change lanes and I had to move the camera. Then I missed 4th. Too used to the smooth shifting VeeDub.

#5: Had the wife tape...

Car feels faster than it previously did. I'm getting to my shift points REALLY fast. But... something is wrong somewhere. Its not hitting full boost until 4600rpm. It'll build decent boost at lower RPM's... but big power/boost isn't there until 4600. I'm wondering if having the 2.2L/2.4L O-Rings for an I/M Gasket against that Phenolic Spacer, instead of an LSJ gasket, has something to do with it. I'm very pissed off that it doesn't hit full boost until then, but I know its something fixable. There is absolutely no reason for that turbo to spool that late. Paul said he tuned this turbo on another car and was hitting 18psi at 3400-3500rpm. So there has to be something wrong somewhere.

I had Ryan@ZZP make me Charge Piping to fit my set-up, as well as put a custom Return Fuel System on the car. They did a couple of other things as well. The quality of work really is top notch. Ryan really hooked me up. I didn't wanna spend as much as I did... but Ryan kept talking me into stuff. :lol: But aside from the lag, which is in no way, shape, or form ZZP's fault... I'm extremely happy with the work/craftsmanship. Although, I really need to take a welding class and learn how to start fabricating my own stuff. I prefer to do everything myself.

very nice man, and awesome work zzp

woop..gotta spend that MC money the right way..lol

looks really good, im curious how your getting traction in second running 20psi ??? i couldent get mine to hook on 15psi when i went S256 i full spooled @ 4k your car pulls third real nice, it revs out quick.

i like your bov location too. pretty neat looking

I've wondered this too. I'm not even on serious tires. Goodyear Eagle GT's. She torque steers like a MUTHA FUGGA!

I'm sure once this thing get on a more serious tune... and I figure out why it is spooling so late... it'll shred some tires.

your car sounded amazing in the first video too, great exh sound, complimented by awesome blow off, then even had some turbo spool after you passed by.

for the life of me i could never hear that spool sound coming from my exh. or was that your turbo with no filter on it that i hear?

Its probably that my downpipe is literally 16" long. It comes off the turbo and shoots down the tunnel and dumps right were the stock system angles back to connect to the Cat-back. More pics will come tomorrow.

You can barely see it in this pic:

Very nice! did you ever get that misfire you had figured out?

I don't know that I am aware of what Misfire you are talking about.

car sounds sick dude
great job on the set up

good shit rob.. btw, i sent ya a PM.. maybe im blind but where is your BOV mounted? im on my phone so i dont know if one of the images didnt load or anything. i need to redo my IC piping... hahn has it setup where the bov is mounted literally like 4 inches from the ground right by the passenger front tire.. horrible spot IMO..

where did you get that catch can

awesome! figure that lag out and get some track time!

the one you said you had against area

If you can see the 2nd to last photo... the one looking down into my engine bay... then look just below the I/M. :cool:

The piping comes off of the Turbo, loops down under the pan, hops up above the frame rail (this is where the BOV is), does a u-turn into the ETS Intercooler, and then pops out the other side, and follows the stock intake routing.

2.5" all around, with an 8" section of 3" in the wheelwell for the MAF.

If you want it, I'll sell it to you. I need something bigger with -10an fittings on it.

Track time = Break Shit :lol:

I don't plan on breaking anything until next year. :lol:

Oh... that was knock. And I think the gas and/or the air was just shittier in Chicago compared to where I live. :lol:

how much ? lol right now i have my valve cover tapped and i'm running a tube with a breather filter on it but I SHOULD do a catch can lol it's just a temp fix for now lol

booooo, don't be scared to break something.

what are you shifting at in vid 1?

oic lol gotcha btw my friend decided tvs e85 but now my other friend that i just did a pulley swap last week on decided the day we did his pulley swap and he drove my car the same day now wants to go turbo so it'll be interesting to see how these 2 do against eachother oh and i decided enough with the kid stuff i'm going rx 5.7

whats the flow rate on this turbo compared to the 5031 precision you had before.

nice car man. sub for vids

Iono. $40 shipped. I need to find myself a new one and get my Valve Cover tapped for -10an first.

I will be scared to break something since I don't have a job right now. Just got out of the Marines... so I'm jobless. Don't have the money to fix a blown transmission right now, nor do I care to do the labor involved.

Besides, drag racing at a strip just doesn't float my boat. I enjoy it a little... but its not something that I live for.

Meh, a proper turbo build will decimate a TVS build 99% of the time. There really is just no comparing them.

They both have their advantages and disadvantages... but when it comes down to it. A properly sized turbo will outrun a 1320 TVS all day long.

I think the 5031 was rated at something like 42lbs/min... and this on is rated at 53lbs/min... something around there. The new turbo also has new Aerodynamics, lighter wheel, and its ceramic ball bearing.

Changed my plugs today. And also swapped out the 2.2L O-Rings for an LSJ Gasket. Still spooling late... boost needle still hops around like crazy. ALTHOUGH, the MAP Boost reading does NOT hop around on the Interceptor.

Holy balls. I didn't realize you had a dump pipe. I thought you still had the side exit... :lol:

rob, check that fitting behind the boost gauge to make sure it hasn't came loose... that and under the hood too.... remember those came out pretty easy

sick song in #5 "static"!

did your old intercooler set up get sold?
