Very true...at least you have an evo that runs though...maybe not super fast but still fast :)

I wanna see your interior sometime, maybe that will be a mod i end up doing...my interior needs some lovin eventually.

Schiedes have you seen this

That manifold adapter with the external WG provision looks pretty slick i thought.

I would assume its a t3 adaptor that bolts to the stock manifold.

If you could get that separate from the rest of the kit you would have an endless turbo selection.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

That is the HKS kit...it is ridiculously pricey...like 5500 list, probably can be had for just under 5k, but HB speed did make 560whp or something on it...and said it will make 650whp if pushed.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Yea but i'm not saying buy the kit, just that one piece!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

You would need a downpipe and UICP to be made as well. Probably custom lines of some sort, or just new ones i mean for oil to the turbo etc.

This kit also requires transfer case modifications, lol.

It is cool no doubt, but would still be a bit of work.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Stockframe turbos FTW!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Me 2x. I guess I could go fast, just can't drop out of boost. :madashell:

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Neato on that 3240 kit, I didn't realize it used a t3 turbo on it. Still, I've done the adapter thing with my hahn super 20g and I don't think I want to go down that road again. Stock frame turbos are dandy, great spool and good power. If I really want a hta86 turbo, I'll just have to talk robert into making me one w/ a stock center secton and turbine housing. :)

Re: beaterX project thread
 

^huh? why?

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Did you skip to the end again? Not sure what you're confoosed about :P

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Sorry, i didn't know blacks were new center sections and turbine housings, I thought they were stock, or they are just stock looking but bigger?

Re: beaterX project thread
 

They are 'stock' but they are actually FP proprietary-cast parts. Very very stock appearing though. So yes, that's why I said, 'hta86 w/ a stock center secton and turbine housing' cause that would be a black (except the black uses a hta82 comp wheel, so this would be like a FP Brown or something!).

Re: beaterX project thread
 

i like the sound of that

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Got this thing on the rollers tonight. Not the 300whp I was really hoping for, but meh, with my luck and how solid the tune is, I'm happy. Shane says it's really in line with other cars similarly modded, and I believe it. Good solid fun power on the stock turbo. 278whp/287wtq.

AFR curve sooooo flat, thanks shane!

25psi@3000rpm, thanks mivec! :D

280wtq@3500rpm, yippee!

Here's 4 runs overlayed. The Black line is NOT MINE, but another car shane had pulled up with similar mods. I'm a little short of it, but again, meh. Upper red line is current tune, green line is shanes 5-minute tune when I was on the test drive, and the lower red line is the car as it rolled off of the dealer's lot with the old catback, mbc, uicp, and random fmic.

A few notes:
-the perrin intake tube didn't lean the car out at all
-the aFe intake did lean out the car about half a point between 4000-5500
-peak timing is a bit down from your average X, maybe I'll get some better fuel in it some day and pick up that 15-20whp.
-my LC-1 wideband is within .2 AFR of DB's, good enough for me! I started geting a CEL the other day, turns out it was a rear o2 code...I didn't get it for like two weeks after not running a rear o2 (at all) and it came on the day I fixed the line to the FPR. Weird. There was one DTC I had left enabled, disabling seems to have gotten rid of the CEL now. So, no rear o2, no CEL's, yay!

I'm sorta at a loss as to what to do with the car next. BBX, Ported Exh Mani, and o2 housing/downpipe is what I'd like to do, but there's other things I'd like to do...sunroof, bodywork, etc. Budget is now getting very very tight. I'm pretty sure I'm just going to keep the car as-is powerwise for a while and just rock it. It's good clean fun and should be enough to keep me smilin for a while :D

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Lookin good. Those are some solid gains over what it made when you picked it up.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

very nice

Re: beaterX project thread
 

This car really does impress me. It feels really good thru the gears. Im glad you like it scheides!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

So, more fun issues? I had a roadside consultation yesterday. Tint = 16% front, 18% back...oops :) He also informed me that my registration is goofy, and the plates I got from the dealer have no year on them! On the left they say JAN, on the right they say MAR, but I bought the car on april 30th, and it was registered well into MAY? I'll be calling the dealer about this monday, fucking idiots.

Got a video of the car on the dyno yesterday, I'm really happy with how it sounds now, the aFe intake really makes this a turbo car :)

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Looking good! Sorry I wasn't able help stick around and see this or help the others out!

I vote for get some cosmetic mods and rock it out for awhile!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Looking great Scheides! That is awesome news that the Perrin inlet tube and AFE intake didn't have much affect on the AFR's. Sounds good in that video too :)
