I drove mine through rain a few times. One time really heavy rain. Having the sheilds REALLY helps.

Got my FP drain line saturday. I wasn't too impressed with it. The size of brass nipples used is actually a little smaller then the stock drain line. I took it apart and drilled out the nipples as much as possible. Makes me feel a little better about it anyway..

The line

Got my missing piece from CA Racing and finally got to make my oil feedline.

First I had to remove the plug. The allen hole was stripped out so I had to resort to welding the allen wrench to the plug. Thank god it actually worked!

Then I installed my .65 restrictor, which many people don't run and ruin their journal bearing turbo's when feeding off the oil filter housing. I did tons of research.

Yes I know my alternator is jacked..

Last night I worked on the car til 4:30am to get everything completed. I had everything ready to go to be started today when I woke up.

Took a nice HDR pic while I was at it :)

After trying to get it started for 30mins, it finally decided to fire up! Here is the video.

Then, even though there is salt on the roads I had to take it for a ride. So I just took it for a quick 10min stroll around my neighbor hood. Not to mention I'm running open o2 housing and no front bumper. So I tried to stay on the back roads. I also got a new camera and mount so I decided to test it out. (youtube was being gay so I had to upload it on photobucket.)

Looks like the car took you by surprise a bit at about 3:14 haha

looks good man!

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

I run my oil feed line off my oil filter housing with no restrictor per request of PTE reuilder. Never had a problem at all. I've got a journal bearing 67mm pte turbo with 0 shaft play because of it lol. Your set up is looking pretty nice by the way!! Keep with the black theme! When are you going to ditch the 1g bov though?

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Looking and sounding great Andy!

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Thanks guys! Spinning is already an issue. Probably cause it's so cold out. We'll see what happens come spring time. It's really wierd bringing my car to 7k + rpm since I used to never make power passed 6500. Now, that's when the power really starts to kick in.

It's different for different turbo's and what oil pressure you run. Some have built in restrictors and others do not. Like you said, you can just call up the manufacture and they will tell you. A lot of people just don't bother and end up with blown turbo's. I see it all the time.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

sounds sick man nice work

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Thanks. Oh and for the bov I plan on picking up a Greddy type s, or rs. Whatever I find for a decent price.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

damn i wish i still had my greddy type rs bov i woulda sold it to ya for $70

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Very nice! Can't wait to see what it does on dry ground!

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Car looks great! PM me with some feedback on the manifold.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

PM'd. Thanks for the compliments!

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Got a Greddy type s on the way!

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Good purchase! I love the type S!

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Got my type s this morning. Gonna talk to primo about powerder coating the top. What do you guys think for a color? Red?

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Looking good man! Get this thing on the rollers up at DB and get a good tune in it. How much boost do you think you'll go for with it? I say bring it to the spring dyno day and crank it up :D

Very clean.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

I'm not sure where I'm going to bring it for a tune. I have always tuned my own car so we'll see. I've talked to a lot of FWD guys about dynoing and on a load dyno, like DB's they tend to spin a lot compared to a dynojet like map's dyno. But who knows we'll see.

As for boost I'm not sure. I'm guessing somewhere around 25-30psi. Whatever gets me around 500whp.

As of now the turbo setup is back out of the car do to the o2 housing not sealing on the turbo. Both the surfaces are warped like I stated in my other thread. Once I get that taken care of I'll bolt it all back together and wait for the snow to melt. :)

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

I have done a lot of 500-700whp FWD cars. It comes down to the tires used and strapping though.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Yeah as of now i'm running 18's with street tires. Which is 100% most of my traction problems. I already got some rims for slicks I just gotta get some but that probably won't happen til sometime in the summer. I'd really hate to spend the money on some dyno time just to find out I would spin and get nothing accomplished.
