My Newest project....

[goodhart]

Who built the turbo? That's an eBay turbine housing on it. I would just run a Walbro 255, that will be plenty for the 18g. That head does indeed look rough as is, will you be sending it out to get cleaned up and checked out? It may be fine underneath all that carbon and rust.

Why do you say its an ebay turbine housing?

I had the info from the guy on tuners on who had rebuilt it..but i cant find it anywhere..but you saying its an ebay housing kinda makes sense. That would explain why someone welded spacers onto the wastegate bracket.


As far as the head goes...its more than just what i have in the pictures. Cams are rusted, rockers look horrid, and i dont even wanna know what kind shape the lifters are in. But i got a buddy that has a complete 7 bolt head that he was gonna sell me. So i just planed on doing that than eventually completely rebuilding this other one

considering he's only running 560cc injectors I think it's safe to assume he will be running pump gas.

As for running the stock pump and fpr you should be able to get by for a little bit for break in. you can adjust for the 560's with link so things will run okay but I would keep boost low until you can get a walbro 255

I def plan on still getting the 255 and afpr...but its either $200 for a new head or a $300 for a pump and afpr setup. I just cant do both right now. Which sucks.

And i def plan on keeping boost low. I am hoping that the wastegate is around 10 psi. Ive been trying to find out exactly how low the wastegate is set but i get different answers all over the place.

$200 for a stock head seems a bit much, I sold my stock 2g head for under $50 to Brandon (Halon). It just needed a resurface from a blown headgasket but otherwise fine.

If you have limited funds, find a cheap stock head in good condition and run a smallish fuel pump on whatever injectors you want. The injectors have nothing to do with if you need to run an aftermarket FPR. If you decide to run a 255 right away, the pump could overrun the stock regulator and you'll get a bit of extra fuel at idle, but nothing that will ruin your motor. If you have to decide between a head or regulator, buy the head and just run a stock regulator for now.

I thought the price might be a bit much on the head but he wont budge on the price. And i havent been able to find one somewhere else. There is a guy on tuners selling some but he wants $150 for them.

The wastegate arm is round, and where the arm comes out of the housing, it sticks out extra far. On an OEM housing, the flapper arm is square, and it doesn't come out of the housing as far.

Ah, Got ya. Thanks for that info.


So on the head situation, a guy on tuners has one, $150 plus shipping. And its complete minus valve cover. He sent pics and it looks good.

I found another one, supposedly great shape, $225 shipped.

I dont know what to do cause I dont wanna over pay, but I dont have much time to think on it.

[Perkul8r]

Well. I found a head for cheaper. Another friend had one laying around as he 6 bolt swapped his 2g.

Also, I finally got rid of my beater civic, and my non running stratus so I was able to order a 255 pump and AFPR. So for now the fuel setup is taken care of.

Now I am just playing the waiting game. Waiting on parts from all over. lol. Hopefully soon I will have something.

[evotuner]

Thats awesome 2 cars for a pump and afpr ahaha i love us car guys

[Perkul8r]

Yeah. And its not like i got rid of good cars lol. The stratus was the one I posted about not running. The civic was gonna be a fun car. But it had major rust issues. So it had to go lol.
