Re: Install Day 13 (Pg 17) Almost Done! - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
Speedfoos....I'm interested in seeing how your IAT sensor is located...I seen you lengthened the wiring to it....I have mine in the silicone boot at the throttle body with some toyota FIPG silicone slathered on. I really want to put it permanent into one of the piping but not sure if it will seal good..suppose I should use a rubber insert

that sucks man just as things were turning for the better. hope this doesn't set you back any.
Re: Install Day 13 (Pg 17) Almost Done! - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
Holy crap Edwin, that sucks! Thank God they didn't rip anything off! Note to self, install alarm before coming back to the states. What a pain in the ass man.
Fosho, I'll snap a picture of the IAT tonight. I just used the little rubber seal that came with my crappy CAI piping when I plumbed into the turbo intake.
I think I want this thing finished more than anyone. I haven't been able to drive my baby in over 3 weeks!

Re: Install Day 13 (Pg 17) Almost Done! - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
Ok thanks... snap a picture of the coolant overflow too.... I tried so many different ways and I can't get mine to fit.... I can't wait to get my camera back!

No update again tonight. Just got back from my four hour coaches meeting/CPR training to coach kid's soccer this season. Its 10pm, rainy and I finally changed out of my uniform. Pics tomorrow, I promise FoSho.

Re: Install Day 13 (Pg 17) Almost Done! - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
Thanks man....with some creative luck,a knife,and fan adjustment I was able to modify the reservoir to fit. So I got my new radiator cap, correct overflow installed, and cooling system bleed.
I'm gonna go test drive tonight and see what happens when she cools down. My fingers are crossed!!! If this doesn't take care of it I think my only explanation is headgasket leaking excess pressure! Yikes!

Re: Install Day 13 (Pg 17) Almost Done! - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
Well no luck for me........Cooling system is still pushing everything into the overflow and not sucking it back up. Eventually the overfow will overfill.
So, only possible cause in my mind is a slight leak in headgasket....however it doesn't over heat and does not burn coolant. I'm gonna test the coolant for combustion composites (HC) and boroscope the cylinders today after work
Last thing I wanna do after working with cars all day. Work on my pos!!!
What luck I have! Aren't turbos care fun!

cmon man your killin us! lol
i did my turbo install in less than 36 hrs man! just start the effin thing! who cares if theres no exhaust. or theres a belt missing. start it and let it run for a sec..just to make sure it will start and idle right. as soon as mine was installed i started it and drove out the garage and was boosting down the street. on no tune. only boosted to 2.5 PSI but it was enough for me to definatly feel a difference. over the next few days i street tuned it and got it up to 7 psi. cmon man you gotta atleast see f it will start.
Re: Install Day 13 (Pg 17) Almost Done! - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
Speedfoos, you know what are your doin, don't start it until you have everything on it. Why start it to know it fires up?
You driving it down the street on no tune and boosting is def the stupid thing to do. You def don't wanna ever hit boost with no tune. That's how stuff breaks.
Re: Install Day 13 (Pg 17) Almost Done! - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
LOL - buds, I want to start the bitch like you wouldn't believe, but I'm not going to until my alt. belt arrives at least.
I've got a 5 psi base tune which I will upload to the PCS (my WG spring is just shy of 4) that should get me running at least. Chris (WilmNCChris) is going to do the tune via email for me. Basically I'll be sending him datalogs for him to mod and return. No one that I can find in this country is willing to tune my car. The base tune will be a touch on the rich side, but that's side I'd rather be on than lean.
I have no problems showing up at my welder's place on a base tune and an open downpipe to say, "Um, kind of need the exhaust done pal." though!
Again no update. I spent nine (yes that's 9) hours helping my buddy replace the differential and axle bearings on his 2000 Mustang GT. We worked on it from 1100 to 8 pm. Had to shred an ABS sensor (it would not come out) in order to get the driver's side axle clip on. Plus a multitude of other "my car has been in England for 6 years now" rust and funk problems. I've had it with wrenching on cars for the day. Tomorrow is a new day.

Re: Install Day 13 (Pg 17) Almost Done! - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
trust me dude the motor is a little more well built than you may think. ive thrown 15psi on this stock motor out the gate and while everyone said i shouldve thrown a rod....i didnt and i threw 15psi at it several times after that. i run 12 daily on a stock motor. it makes 240WHP and 218 pound ft of TQ. dont tell me it cant take it. ive self tuned my car so many times. ive taken the DYNO tune and thrown it out 4 times and used my own. ive run shitty and ive run good. ive run really lean and ive run really rich. ive been at every end of the graph with my car. ive maxxed the injectors out. they are still maxxed out now. for some reason this motor WILL NOT blow up. im trying to blow it up so i can rebuild a new one. thats it. i have the moeny to rebuild one. i have the time. but my GF tells me i cant because it still runs right now. why fix it if it aint broke? i need a new clutch too. im still runnin on the stocker.still got the stock plastic intake manifold.
so please spare your comments towards me unless youve actually been there. and for those who have a boosted D17 apparently you had something majorly wrong to tell me that im doing it badly. i just dont give a shit. when it blows it blows. il rebuiild it and be the most powerful D17 runnin the streets to the day. so andyman has what like 400HP? im goin higher.
