Re: IT'S RUNNING!!!! Page 40 Video - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
Hey man, hose elbow works like a charm. Isn't kinked and where it does touch the IC pipe is where the metal joiner is. No danger of gettin' kinky there. Other parts of the car.....well Civic back seats are too small too.
I was thinking about a new DP while mowing the lawn. What about studding it? Put studs on the discharge side, sure would be easier to hang the DP and not have worry about things lining up. Are you torqueing the bolts down like lug nuts? Up -> Down, then left->Right? That way it seats properly? If all else fails, switch to a V-band.
So your can setup doesn't go into the intake tube at all? Just from block -> can -> valve cover? I suppose that would work even though your head doesn't get fresh air, just the fumey (technical term) stuff from the PCV chamber via the catch can. As long as the air goes out from the PCV chamber and into the VC, it probably doesn't matter.
Anyway, lawn is done I'm headed to the garage!

Hmmm..... Something must crossed in the gauges itself. It did that "No tach, scanner error" thing again even when i changed the ACC feed. Gonna have to troubleshoot the gauge wiring one at a time. Oh well. Boost gauge works. That's all that matters. OK. Gonna start it for sure this time.

are you sure your t3 super60 doesn't have water cooling lines? I swear they came with it...
am i sure? im on my second one. t3 soup 60's are not water cooled. they have ports for oil feed and oil drain and the rest of the center section is solid. it doesnt even have freeze plugs where water lines 'might' go.

Quick question about turbos. So the air that comes out of the exaust manifold and would be headed out of the exaust is interupted or redirect towards the weird snail turbo compressor? Right? What exactly does this weird snail turbo compressor do? Why can't the air be put directly in the motor?
Re: IT'S RUNNING!!!! Page 40 Video - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
Codes erased, didn't come back.
Turbo in a nutshell. Exhaust from the engine enters hot side of turbo, spinning blades of turbine as it goes by on it's way out the ass of the car. On the compressor side there is another set of blades attached to the turbine which - spun by the force of the air going through the hot side - suck air in, compressing it and forcing into down the gullet of the TB and IM through the intercooler.

Check your plugs, if your fans are not turning on you will need to see if you have air in the lines from tapping into the coolent system. Your Misfire codes are more than likely from your plugs
