The car is turbod......

 
Rep Power: 321

Very nice turboengr, hows it run? IM me on AIM.

 
Rep Power: 285

i dunno how it runs. Havent driven it yet. I still need to upload my map into the emanage.

I just checked for leaks then said "ok, im done"

I am soooo damn beat. I will hit you up on AIM when i get home. I am at my parents house so im not going to be on the computer long.

 
Rep Power: 280

You going to dyno it any time before sat?

 
Rep Power: 285

no, not before sat. I have classes monday-friday. 20 units in 1 quarter. Gotta love senior year! Atleast i will have my bachelors much faster this way.

But yea.....

I F*CKING HATE MY CAR!!!!

i broke a wire on my O2 sensor while taking it out. It is now grounding out, causing the car to stumble at random intervals. This made the 15 mile drive home a pain in the ***.

So tomorrow, i will install my extra O2 sensor. I have to have a bung installed in my exhaust for my wideband, so i will do it while its up on the rack.

But yea, i am frustrated.

 
Rep Power: 280

THat sucks man, so you still going to try and run it at the track?

 
Rep Power: 285

no. i am still breaking in the motor.

Are you coming out to IDRC still?

 
Rep Power: 280

Thats the plan for now

 
Rep Power: 312

damn man, i've always worshiped your **** and it continues, if i ever see your car in person, you'll hate because you'll spend the next 3 days cleaning all the sperm off it, here's a state of the art computer enhanced version of what you would have to deal with:

 
Rep Power: 321

booba, first mine now his, damn man, your spreading your juices everywhere. Good thing your doing it for someone else, takes the heat off me. lol

 
Rep Power: 584

i want more pictures

up close and personal

lol at booba ;D


whats the braided hosing with the red aluminum connector?

 
Rep Power: 0

Take closer pics of the set-up. I am utterly curious too see how this DC manifold was used.

 
Rep Power: 312

uh, that kinda freaks me out

 
Rep Power: 285

I used a stock ball joint on the bottom of the DC header. Then routed it underneath the motor mount and up to the turbo. The downpipe then routes around near the radiator (not close enough to cause any harm) and then goes back underneath the motor mount, slightly under the tranny and out underneath the oil pan.

That steel braided line with the fittings on the ends are the fuel feed line to my 4 secondary injectors.



heres the closest shot i have.


I also solved my hesitation and bogging problem. It was the O2 sensor like i suspected. The car runs great now. Im just waiting on my wideband.

::EDIT::

I just bought a wastegate. So hopefully i will actually be able to get on it soon. I can weld up the hole in my IC pipe so i can make boost now.

 
Rep Power: 294

Looking good, i guess it probably will be finished for this weekend huh?

 
Rep Power: 348

sweet

 
Rep Power: 285

the car will be finished whenever i get the wastegate.

after that, it is just tuning and letting the motor break in for another 700 miles.

Where are you mounting the WG??? Not doing much with bolt on the flange, nor any compressor housing either..........

 
Rep Power: 0

looking good, How long did you sit and diagram this out?

 
Rep Power: 294

^^^^ Probably not long, Mike is a genius, lets see if the germans don't come and take him away.

 
Rep Power: 329

Very different.
I'm sure it all will work fine once you get the bugs worked out.
I had the same problem with the 02 sensors it was driving me nuts not trying to find out what da heil it was.
I'm curious to see how it all looks with the fake air box and stuff.
Congrats man you'll have a very unique set up.

 
Rep Power: 336

ive seen the fake setup thing. it looks completley stock except for the intake manifold. but that is covered as well. you can't even see the turbo or anything. the header shows, but who cares lol. mike IS a genius. i keep bothering him about becoming rich

 
Rep Power: 285

the wastegate is going to come off the transfer pipe from the header to the turbo. It will be just underneath the collector.


It is running great right now. I am driving it easily and shifting at about 3000-3500 while breaking in the motor, and i can already feel the turbo trying to make boost.


I think i have given up on the airbox thing. I cannot cover the 4 extra injectors with the stock airbox. It is about an inch too tall. So that is a no go.

But i look forward to tuning it and seeing what it does at 14 psi on the street.

also, the heat wrap i used is working awesome. I wrapped the exhaust housing, the transfer tube to the turbo, and the downpipe. Right after driving it, i am able to pop the hood and touch any of the components without burning myself. It is keeping the underhood temps really low.

Looks great Mike. As soon as I get a free second I'm coming over to see it.
Where is your exhaust dumping to after the turbo?

 
Rep Power: 285

it goes through the entire exhaust. Cat and all. I am going to get an E-cutout to put on there right after the turbo. Or i may just make a straight pipe adaptor, since my downpipe is a 2-piece.

But yea, gimme a call whenever you want to see it.


Oh yea, Thomas just made 503 whp on his APS TT 350z. He will be at IDRC racing in the street class. You should come out and chill with us. We will be under the easy-ups that say "Controlled Inertia" on the side of them

i say you gut the airbox, poke a big hole on the underside where people can't see it...
