Looks like the Skittle Dragon farted in your engine bay..........

Thanks guys, this time around ill tighten the oil filter relocation kit down.

[efficient]

damn, nice to see your car coming along nicely. I'm thinking of selling the kit i bought off of you. :/ ugh life!.

[TheTacoMan]

Turns out I used the wrong thread on my relocation kit this entire time and what you see in the pictures could have happened at any point in the past. waffleswaffleswaffles!

Thats all fixed and I was able to drive it a bit and get into boost a lil, Also got half the exhaust on. 3in down pipe to dual 2.5in with a small resonator.

Awesome!

[Nisse Järnet]

[Denny]

Good job man :)

Sounds sweet.

The flares on flares has really grown on me. I really would love to own a turbo m20 one day.

[TheTacoMan]

Thanks guys

Lengthened and got another mount to the subframe for the exhaust and also changed out the dead driveshaft. NO MORE CLUNKING
Also rewired the gauges into a new switch, sense I am able to see my AFR now I did a second gear pull at 13psi. Its globs faster than more old setup already and at less boost. I cant even imagine it at 18-20psi.

Back in the garage.

Got around to mocking up the grill finally, makes me happy that they do fit the fiberglass pretty well.

Boost rising to around 18psi at 7k. Missing around 8 degrees of timing in boost to get everything dialed in. Should see a big increase in power once we get it tuned better. Hopefully can get some more torque out of it.

[MyE30]

ka, what is your target AFR in terms of boost pressure? are you going to clean up the AFR a little more before messing with the timing?

i know there are many different schools of though on tuning turbo motors, just wanted to hear what yours is.

[TheTacoMan]

I have a 13psi spring in the wastegate currently, will chase the boost spiking issues. Some more tuning, a bigger meth injector, more timing and it should be even faster.

Carpets were also shampooed and gauges were remounted.

I get the afr to a constant 11.8, maybe 11.5 at peak, then timing, then touch up afr again.
