Re: my new project
 

That's exactly what I'm going to do too! A 6766 with a 1.32a/r will be ordered tomorrow.

As for the car I was going to take the car for a first drive and start the engine break in but it kept popping fuel pump fuses. It popped a 40amp during the initial start up and run time so we ran it on a 50amp. I figured it was possibly because the relay went bad. Got a new relay and fuses but popped 2 more 40am fuses. So I left it as something to figure out on another day. I'm just happy it runs :-)

Re: my new project
 

Good shit man, glad she is alive!

Re: my new project
 

Thanks! So am I! Now I just have to figure out why it's blowing fuel pump fuses

Okay a turbo has been ordered! The new snail is a pte cea6766 with a ported h cover and a divided t4 with a 1.32a/r. Should be here early next week :-)

Re: my new project
 

Thats great you got it running. come on spring so we can do some rolls.

Re: my new project
 

Indeed! I can't wait for spring to hurry up and get here! I still need a few things to run the 6766 but it's at least all down hill from here

Re: my new project
 

Badass man!!!

Re: my new project
 

Congratulations dude!

Re: my new project
 

You know you own a dsm, right? :wink:


Haha, congrats!

I see auto 6266 vs manual 6766 in the future.

Re: my new project
 

Thanks guys!



Haha you do have a valid point about the dsm. I guess I was kind of referring to just getting this engine job done. It's all down hill because all the really expensive parts are done (hopefully ha).

And if you're referring to vassil let's just see what my car makes first ;-) lol

Re: my new project
 

No Tom was referring to his blue auto. (Santa's old car). Maybe my car ill be done so let's add that into the frum rolls!

Congrats car looked awesome yesterday!

Re: my new project
 

Is the blue auto still around. Time for you big turbo guys to get out and do some roll racing.

Re: my new project
 

Gotcha! Screw it I'm down for from rolls regardless! And thanks man!

Big turbo? But I'm downsizing lol. assuming my engine doesn't blow up again it should be a fun summer!

Re: my new project
 

Well 67mm of billet hawtness showed up today! Well after FedEx delivered it to the wrong place and I had to track it down lol.

Now I just need to sort out the fuel pump issue, get a few miles on the engine get the new turbo on and get it tuned. Not too much left to do before she's ready to go!

Re: my new project
 

Nice. What hotside you go with?

Re: my new project
 

Boostin performance and Leasure both recommended going with the 1.32a/r so that is what I did. Its a divided t4 with a 1.32a/r

This thing is super light compared to the gt4294 too

Re: my new project
 

Nice, That should mean it will spool like a .70ish and have top end of the 1.32. Badass.

Re: my new project
 

Yeah I'm super excited to see what this thing can do! Hopefully more power with a larger power band than the 4294

Re: my new project
 

Dude that's bad ass! My eclipse won't start... :( gotta figure that shit out but too cold..

Re: my new project
 

Thanks! And not good about the Eclipse! When it warms up if you want a hand let me know. Also cornfed2.4 gave me a fuse block cover or something for you. If you still have my number text me when you're free and I can get it to you

Re: my new project
 

Nick is one hell of a guy to remember that! I got yo numba lol

Re: my new project
 

Indeed he's good shit!

Re: my new project
 

Okay fuel pumps should be fixed. One of the connectors on the ground wore of one of the pumps was partially broken. The wire inside the sending unit was too long and putting stress on the connector. I shortened the wire and put a new connector on it. I ran the pumps for a good five minutes without popping a 40amp fuse so all should be good.


Also today at work was slow so I decided I would start to polish the comp cover of the new turbo. I just got the preliminary removing of the roughness of the casting. I picked up a bunch of sand paper so I can continue sometime soon here.

Re: my new project
 

Awesome glad the pumps turned out to being something simple.

Re: my new project
 

purty turbo

Re: my new project
 

So am I! Now I just need a nice day so I can out some miles on her.

Thanks! I still have a lot of work to do on the comp cover. This is the first one I've attempted to polish so we'll see how it turns out lol

Re: my new project
 

Did you space the pumps just so they are still not so close and working against eachother?

Re: my new project
 

Yes I did put a spacer between the pumps as well while I had the sending unit out.

Re: my new project
 

a Well it's been a pretty slow day at work so I've put some time in on the comp cover. I'm out of patience for today so I will continue more on it on another day. I will need to get my hands on a dremel or something similar to get into some of the hard areas that are hard to get to. This is the first time I've done something like this and it's cool to learn but in the future I'll probably just buy a polished comp cover if I want it polished lol

Assuming it's nice out next weekend I'll put some miles on her and start the engine break in.

As for what's left before it's ready for summer, the engine needs to be broken in, new fuel pumps(not sure what ones yet), swap the 6766 on, new intake pipe, and have my exhaust fitted to the 6766, and then a tune.

Re: my new project
 

I gots a dremel you can use.

Re: my new project
 

Okay cool! I think my coworker has one but I will let you know if I need it. Thanks!

Re: my new project
 

A little update on the comp cover. I'm overly fed up and impatient with this thing lol. It's officially turned into project good enough. Meaning I'm just going to get it good enough lol the main parts that will be visible will be done good. The rest of the pita areas I'm just getting good enough so I can start on it with a buffer. Not sure if you can tell a difference in the pics but it's getting there. I have at least 12 hours into this thing so far. I'm ready for it to be done lol

Re: my new project
 

When I did mine I started on a bench grinder with a wire wheel brush. I only had a few hrs into it but turned out good I thought. Didn't polish it with a buffer like I should have.

Re: my new project
 

That looks pretty good. I probably should have started on the wire wheel. I definitely have NOT been doing this the most efficient way. Most of mine has been done by hand with sandpaper. I'm on 1500 grit right now then going to 2000. We'll see how it looks after the 2000 grit

Re: my new project
 

Yeah I think I only went to 1500 and stopped. Almost there though

Re: my new project
 

That looks pretty good for only 1500! I'm going to go to 2k then buff the hell out of it lol

Re: my new project
 

Alright I'm done with the comp cover. I just don't have the patience to deal with it anymore. Personally I think it kind of looks like crap. But it could be worse I guess ha. Maybe next winter if I'm feeling ambitious I'll resand it down and do a better job. Or I'll just buy a new comp cover lol

Re: my new project
 

Looks pretty good to me!

Re: my new project
 

Thanks! You have to see it up close then you can see the areas I could have done better but this will work for now. I might try a little mothers aluminum polish to see if I can get it to shine a little better

Re: my new project
 

Dude that shit looks good

Re: my new project
 

Thanks!
