The official turbo build thread.

K so the dude with Autronic flaked out. Oh well. I was having second thoughts about buying an ecu that the seller "knew nothing about" and "never tried to use"

That said, Chopper Dan over here has enlightened me on AEM ems. Its cheaper than this autronic was and performance is about on par. Im buying a 30-1050 ecu and a wiring harness for a 99 honda accord or w/e it is tomoro i think. This will be the basis of my P'nP harness. Also need to pick up a GM map sensor and a few other odds and ends and ill be all set to start wiring this bish. Sad note is that i wont get it till im back at school so progress will probably be kinda slow :(

[awestun]

progress is 5 months late.

I agree its overdue.

How are your ignition wires? Im worried mine are going to melt so I pulled them up and zip tied them to the injector harness.

I got my MS working, I can prob do it on yours. Altho, my problem was a dying coil. Yours sounds like bad grounds?

[So Live]

Yeah ya know i dont really care about MS at the moment. Im over it.

Got the AEM, built my adapter harness, couldnt get it going so i dropped it off at Maximum PSI in Jerz and Mike R hooked my car up with a hall effect crank sensor + m50TU crank trigger wheel, and got the car running but no where near perfect (i was broke). I brought it home and grafted a TU motor cam trigger wheel and the TU cam sensor. Now it starts pretty well and runs good (still needs some work on accel fuel). I got together with a friend of mine at EPL in stratford and tuned ignition on the dyno. Pulled a ton of timing and pulled off a 322WHP and 319wq only spinning to 5500rpm (where it hits the boost fuel cut at 15psi. Fcuk boost creep). A few educated people suggested it would make 380-390whp if i could rev it out to 6.5 or 7k.

Hopefully getting a better head gasket from Maxpsi and ARP studs that i already had in the garage, installed in a week or two and just dealing with the boost creep and making that magic number 400whp or better...

I was waiting for the 400whp dyno sheet and some vids but you guys are needy.

Holy poop!

[So Live]

Meh, im already bored...

ill probably pick up a new turbo and some meth at some point this summer and see what happens then...

buy my gt3582r ;)

[shiboujin]

400whp should def be doable on 15psi. Keep on goin!
I want to see more under hood pictures n such.

[So Live]

35r isnt exactly what im looking for but how much?

Yosh, looking for anything in particular? Ill take some pics tomoro or friday or something...

[shiboujin]

the turbo area mainly. how everything fits and how your wiring scrapes by it without catching on fire.

[So Live]

Never even melted any wiring. Everything's pretty perfect with the stock ign wiring. Even the little keeper things still hold all the wires nice n tight. Ive been driving it pretty hard too. Im not worried about it.

Found some older pics but basically same set up






The fender is back to normal too, no need for the big ass dent.

Imagine that with a 4" filter on the turbo, the washer tank cut and modded a little to gain clearance from the downpipe, the oil feed mounted nicely, and a 3/4"NPT to -6 AN breather in the valve cover.

[shiboujin]

damn. they look so close though! I guess im just worrying too much. Id still like to see a pic between the fender and the mani just to see clearances.

[So Live]

Meh not that close, got a good solid inch - inch n a quarter.

Next time i have the turbo off ill snap a pic for ya

[shiboujin]

cool spanx.
