Project Spyder 2009 Build

Let me know how much power you put down. I have a similar turbo (sbr g60) and I hope to make 500whp at db with it.

Hey i have one of those heat barrier gaskets.

Ahh dammit turbotalon1g I just put it together with a stock or I would of bought that from you. I got a hold of a neighbor of my moms that builds custom street rods and he tig welded up several previous welds on my SMIC including the crack. He put two rows of welds on them so they are stronger. Should be good now.

I readjusted the TPS to where it is supposed to be and its ready to hit the dyno for some tuning on Tuesday! I cant wait. I have never had my car tuned before by Shane because I have done it mostly my self but just do not have the time now.

I did a boost leak test and the only spot it leaks is between the compressor and the backing plate but it held just over 15psi and dropped to 10 psi after 30 seconds. Does that seem good or will that make a difference do you guys think? More photos soon.

That doesn't sound too bad of a leak, but still something that you should try to get figured
out before hand.

GOod luck tomorrow, don't get wrapped up in the numbers.

You should make sure the O-Ring between those two parts isn't rolled or something goofy. If they don't sit in there just right, they can leak. Use a pick to put the O-Ring back in, it makes it way easier.

That sounds fine, 5psi over 30 seconds is acceptable. 500 is going to be a tough number to hit IMHO, and that is insane power. 430 is fast as hell on the street. Honestly if you break into the 430-450 range w/o any other issues, be happy as hell!

I agree to the HP levels. The compressor doesn't come with a seal there and the leak is very minimal so I'm going to leave it. I'll post up results tomorrow.

Really? There is no rubber o-ring between the compressor housing and the backing plate? Mine does, but then again, I also have the S cover on mine.

In for numbers...looks like a sweet setup.

So maybe i missed something, but you want to flow 500whp on a side mount IC?

I know big ass front mounts that don't flow that much air, am i missing something?

[goodhart]

Pretty sure he meant to type SMIM (Sheet metal intake manifold) instead of SMIC (side mount intercooler) lol
