Spool? whats spool?

LOL, I hope you have that revving bug fixed!

[Swifty1638]

Me too. We shall see. If not, this will be the most expensive bonfire I've ever lit up.

Topmount manifolds are also usually horribly laggy.

You have to run a filter, they don't hurt power. It's going to suck in every piece of dirt in that engine bay. Your turbo will be destroyed and motor full of dirt in no time. Right behind the radiator is also a terrible place to suck in air, you should try to run a pipe(with a filter on the end of it) down into a fender well or atleast behind one of the headlights and pull the headlight at the track. 80 degree air is much better than 120 degree+ air.

His car is going to the track, with or without him.

[Swifty1638]

Shane is right. And yea, I want to run a filter, perferrably an intake. I like kevin's design on his, and brandon's, and since the area near the pass front headlight area is all empty, it will fit there. I just gotta get around this upper rad hose..

[Swifty1638]

ya, ya ya.

[turbotalon1g]

Get to work already.

[Swifty1638]

Coppersprayed the gasket, slapped the manifold and turbo on for realz now. Modified the oil return, and attached teh 45 deg. fitting to the 5 foot piece of -12 brent gave me. I will wait till I finish the oil pan end, once I know for sure the way it's routed now is the way it will be, since I want the lower ic pipe, wg, and exhaust done first. Now, just playing the waiting game.

[turbotalon1g]

That sounds like a good idea. Surely but slowly it seems, you get an appt. with JDM john to get the pipes done?

[Swifty1638]

I have sent him a pm. Waiting to hear back.

[sleepydsm]

hurry the eff up already.

[Swifty1638]

I am trying!! When's your trans due back?

[Capinoy123]

man this thread is never ending! Seriously there isn't even an ending??? wtf is taking so long? Updates!!!

[santa]

Whats with the dented pipe welded to the flange? Looks kinda restrictive???

[GG_9_SE]

bump for updates?

[blackrosenova400]

Hes too busy partying instead of working on his car like he should!

[turbotalon1g]

Needs a v-band flange that I believe was warped. Once he gets that its on like donkey kong.

[Swifty1638]

Updates..hm..Well, JDM John came over to mock up all the piping for the lower ic, wg, and exhaust. Clear packing tape, and some marker marks, and all was good to weld, then we drove back to his place up in MG, so I could drool over his galant, and watch all the welding go down. I also mounted my oil cooler, finished the timing cover side/motor mount, cut a bit of the hood "skeleton" brace out so it could clear the turbo (don't worry, no holes in the hood, so when it's shut you'll never know the difference) and then was trying to rush to get it done at 6:04 am the other morning for the boost event at MAP, but something went wrong, and warped, and I snapped a clamp. Fail. Either way, I'm working on getting it resolved so I can hear this stupid thing run again..

Bored:


Don't look into the bright light!


Mad JDM angle cut yo!


Definatly 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag. More shit to cram then ever. I also needed to take apart the WG, and "clock" the bottom port housing, so the vaccuum line running to it was outta the way. Soon people, soon..
