Dumb Ass Teenager Turbo/Body Work/Respray Learning Experience Build Thread

[Jafxod]

Always loved these, plus I needed more ground clearance, Ive gone through 3 oilpans with 15's and a raceskids plate and I cant risk losing oil with this turbo. Also Im one 7 wide now and these are 8 wide so I can run some 225s.

Sweet

Those wheels are heavenly.

[Jafxod]

Yeah I was a little skeptical about how they are gonna look but Im pretty confident Ill be able to pull them off. Now I just have to figure out tire sizing, what size spacers, how low I wanna go, and what color I wanna refinish them

[Jafxod]

Wastegate dump is now routed down to the ground, downpipe is finished and ready to drive to my buddies shop to finish the exhaust on his lift. What do most people do for catch cans? Location? Which lines do they tap into?

I talked to WAR and they said they have nothing for Non Vanos turbo's WTFFFFFF I dont even know what to do now fuck.

Im wondering if I need to run the rrfpr if I run MS.

No. You could run an adjustable FPR with MS, but don't use an RRFPR.

I'd just stick with the stock one.

Do you think I dont have a choice besides going MS at this point?

Just bought this

Heres a list of what I have left I think.

Oil feed/return lines. Im worried about the proximity of my drain line to the manifold and wastegate piping. What can I wrap my rubber line in where can I find SS lines?

Install wideband, boost gauge and oil pressure gauge. Anyone have any idea what I should do for a guage pod. I dont want rice. Maybe just a three gauge cluster ontop of the dash

Put my intake mani back on and run my cold pipe to the throttle body, I think I am gonna delete the ICV, i heard this is possible and would make things alot easier for me.

Figure out how and where to run my catch can.

Finish my exhuast from the down pipe back. Im thinking just run one muffler. Tempted to run an electric exhuast cut out lol.

And the most important part is buy and install the megasquirt system from blueapplesoda dude on here.


Stoked

Put the gauges in the vents, easy to see & not "rice."

Make sure you hook up the dimmer so you can change that as well, one of my friends didnt do that & it drove him nuts

Anyone have any tips regarding protecting my coilpacks and wiring from the heat?

[Jafxod]

I should be safe to start up the car on a base tune without an o2 sensor right, just at idle. Right?

[LowR3V'in]

Idle only, don't even cruise it.

[Jafxod]

Gotcha






Still need injectors fuck. Getting my megasquirt this week. Pulling the motor to clean some stuff up, tap my oil pan, bolt up my manifold, etc. Pretty excited. Got my oil feed fitting today. End is kinda in sight now. Ill keep you guys updated.

[Jafxod]

Heres some picture updates for you guys. Also, my buddy chris is now occupying the other half of his garage with his e36 m3 turbo m52 build with a 61mm turbo with a 550whp target. Should be interesting.

Pulled my motor to clean up the bay and motor, tap the oil pan for the return and bolt on the manifold I made.
