Well the time has finally come, I’m boosting my Spec. Just got my stuff on Thursday and got most of it put together tonight. I’ll post some pics tomorrow cause right now I’m freakin tired, lol.:ack2:
Got some work done on it, here’s what I have so far…
My Turbo:
Well, nothing fancy yet. Just a basic kit to get started with. I want to eventually upgrade the internals on my turbo, and upgrade my BOV and wastegate. I’m gonna drop in some 446cc injectors, got a front mount out of an S13, oil pan is tapped and ready to go with fittings. Cast manifold with T3/T4 flange and wastegate flange as well. Vacuum manifold is made and installed. AFC NEO controlling my AFR’s. All I really need now is a boost gauge to see what my turbo is doing.
Working on pics, will be up later tonight…:thumbup1:
Yea, I’m trying to give up smoking, a buddy of mine did it by rolling his own smokes. After a week of having to make his own he got tired of it and gave up on smoking, so I’m giving it a try. Or if this build gets to me, I’m ready, lol.:001_tt2:
Hoping to get the oil line and pan installed tonight, and fab up my downpipe, and connect the IC piping tomorrow. I hope to be able to start it tomorrow.
Yea, I can’t wait to see all the problems…LOL. Well everything has gone together really well so far… The downpipe is gonna be a little tricky, but after that it should be smooth sailing… I hope. Well, gotta go finish, I’ll post some more pics tonight.:auto:
Well, getting close to turning the key. Got my oil lines connected, oil pan reinstalled and just finishing the boost tube to the front mount. All that’s left is to fab my downpipe and put it all back together. I should be able to start it later today (it’s 1:47 am, lol) and see how it runs. I’m gonna save the last set of pics till it’s all done, just to keep you guys in suspense…:blink:
James I’m not sure if I see this right but your Valve Cover breather cannot go back into the intake like that. You will pressurize your valve cover under boost. If you don’t put a filter on it put the hose back on the turbo intake pipe.
EDIT: just talked to you lol. Everything looks good. Cruise This Friday?
Just went for a test run, and WOW!!! I LOVE MY CAR AGAIN!!! :thumbup1:
Even at only a few psi, it is a drastic improvement. I’ll have to relearn how to drive my car now, shifting comes way quicker now as it only takes like half the time to reach the top of a gear. Car is all back together, I will clean her up and post pics of the finished product tomorrow.
