Need to get to my comp
The BOV has a custom pipe welded to the intercooler piping. I then used a rubber hose and attached it to the stock turbosmart adaptor. Eghh hard to explain I'll just get pics lol
I have two turbo smarts i switch between them from time to time
Thought I'd bring everyone a lil up to date with my lil project.
So I've recently swapped out the radiator for the one in the donor car as I did that I swapped the thermo stat too, still overheats. I suspect I have a small leak somewhere in the hoses that I can't normally see and it's not holding pressure.
I'll sort this out soon once and for all. For now I seem to be able to keep it at decent temps by not over thrashing it and topping the water up before I drive
I still can't boost over 9psi without stuttering like Mike Tyson, but I've been told to check the Intake plenum gaskets for leaks, they sometimes crack apparently.
That's the bad shit n really that's all the bad.
In other news I've recently made enough money's to fund new mods. First one you might all remember the controversial PRM BRACE that GTOER was selling a little while back? Well I picked it up last week and this is where it now rests :
Also late last night after work, I had decided to go through and buy the eBay exhaust that everyone raves about, but before I did, good mate Dougal offered me a deal on his one that I couldn't refuse so picking that up tonight to go on the car tomorrow
Also recently I made a pressure tester from cheap buntings parts to test for boost leaks and it was a GREAT SUCCESS! Found atleast 3-4 leaks but still the massive one which is allegedly the plenum gaskets has yet to be found
Ilya I tried yours but it wasn't as effective on my car. This worked better for me and cost f all
Last but not least, I've been looking into converting the oil feed n return lines along with the coolant lines for the turbos with AN fittings and braided lines
eBay again comes through with these
Yeah I thought it wouldnt since you got a custom CAI. Im looking at getting those same braided oil lines with the coolant lines for when my 19t's come.
This was my old exhaust!!! Awesome that it sounds this good as i could not get it to work with my build project and at least this has not gone to waste at all!
I did not realize you got pics of it at my joint when you came to pick it up.
Made me laugh seeing my the exhaust lying on my kitchen floor tiles!!
Sure can : DIY titanium look exhaust tips
To be honest with you, I practiced a bit til I got it right then got my old boss to get it right as well seeing as we both never done it before. I did good but had more faith in him to do my actually tips. So it was a combination of me and him on my zorst tips
So over the last few weeks I've been collecting parts and doing slight things here and there.
where im at:
Bought the 19Ts Maddy was selling.
Bought Boomslang (think i might of mentioned this) for my Emanage Ultimate.
Got 780cc injectors off Mick as part of a deal
255LPH Walbro from GTWHOAH As part of a swap.
Hotwired the fuel pump.
Robos YEAH!!!!
Still need to do the evil eye hood and custom front bar though
Braided Turbo, oil and water return and feed lines
plan is to get this all installed and tuned within the next month or so.
in the same time i'm hoping to get the Coolant and Boost leaks all sorted and getting the car running smooth again.
stay tuned \
