Kamotors E30-Turbo to ITB M20

[kamotors]

I'm confused now.

I applaud you for doing this to your car though. So excite.

Are you confused because I wrote the wrx goes 90mph in 3rd but the e30 goes 95 but then said the gearing is like the E30? I figured 5mph was close enough to say the gearing was like my E30.

Damn. So much hate just because of a transmission...

Strange question. When you rebuild your HX did you loctite the center shaft nut?
Did you torque the nut to Holset specs?

Just curious because I'm putting mine together tonight.

I used a bit of loctite on all the bolts and torqued the shaft nut to spec. The rebuild kit I ordered came with the online manual so I just followed that along with another website I found on google.

Am I doing it right?


I got the charge pipe I made installed and "blacked" out the coupler with black vinyl tape.

^^^ lol nice. I'd also like to see how well the auto takes the abuse.

[kamotors]

Also got a 3.5" billet MAF off of ebay for a bit cheaper than what Miller wanted.

[kamotors]

got a bit more progress done today.
THis is where I'm running my wastegate to. How will the FPR be affected by boost?

Finished clamping down my charge pipes.

Ground down the headlight bracket to make room for pipes

Perfect

Your elbow/boost ruber it's gonna crack is you didn't soft the edges of the beam base...but even if is soften by now, make some room (clearance) so it's not going to touch each other always.

[e30trooper]

where did you get the intercooling piping?

[kamotors]

I will make some more clearance right now it has only 1mm. The elbows are pure 5 layer silicone I just wrapped them in vinyl tape.

all piping including the exhaust downpipe is from silicone intakes.com

[kamotors]

I received my 30lb injectors I will swap them in tomorrow.

[einstein57]

Going 5-speed as well I would hope?

as soon as this one blows up

Sounds like you have every intention on swapping out to a 5 speed. Might as well get all your ducks lined up.

lolol thread jacked like 20 times. nice build regardless of how much arguing i had to sift through
