okay. car is still on jacks (dammit!)
I bought a box full of t3 turbo's off some dude and I am going to change my wastegate actuator today. Also, a lot of my idle problems are probably caused by my missing link. I got the filter that I was missing and I'm going to be putting that thing in today as well. I think that is going to get me running a lot better. If so I can maybe test drive the damn thing. I'm a little nervous about it as it is becasue with my wastegate messed up and my boost guage not reading right (kinked hose maybe?) I would basically be running blind with no idea how much boost I'm getting.

On a side note, it is really cool to get that box of turbo's because I have another project that I am starting to think about. www.junkyardjet.com

is there any way to get a new vacuum line?

hopefully the wastegate and the filter will solve the problem. hopefully.

IT LIVES!
Turns out it was my A/F guage causeing badf o2 sensor readings, cause my idle to hop all over the place.


Also, thanks alot to Jim and Shandon for giving me a hand today. Shandon, you are the dremel KING!

hehe. did you check out that site?? It looks pretty cool.

Hows your car?

SuperFishy

i did, it looks really cool, car runs fine now it was just a minor problem, one of those tiny things that makes a car unsafe to drive. I'd say we should go to luskville today, tapp cruise night but the weather looks kinda bum

ya, it would be fun. The car isn't running the greatest, it could really use a tuning. I am probably going to get it on the dyno for next weekend if I can.

EŽik

Julian, I thought you were going to go to KVR to dyno yesterday?? Thats what Pierre mentioned anyways.

Do you always listen to what Pierre says We were going to KVR to set an appointment for the following week-end

Latest update
Installed boost controller on the weekend. Wow, what a difference. Spools up WAY faster now. Left the boost setting at 4.5, I'll put it to 8psi once it is tuned.
Drove the car to T.O last weekend, its a highway rocket. Still a little funny though. Booked my dyno tuning at Tapp for June 20th. Can't wait.

Nice to see its finally working out good for you. You get the T3 rebuilt? Exhaust manifold looks good, what was missing/needing fixing?

Aight today's the day ... What numbers are you pulling from TAPP. Julien never knew you were doing this ... can't wait to get back to OT and see it.

Tofast4me

Ok. went on the dyno this morning at Tapp Auto. My car was running VERY lean. I'm actually pretty lucky I didn't kill it. My extra injectors weren't even firing. After a quick tweak to get the injectors firing, we did a baseline and got 130hp at around 3-4 psi. I was pretty much maxing out my available fuel though. I'm not so sure the injectors I have are really 440cc's. I find it hard to believe I was maxing out 2 of them at that psi. Anyway, I changed one injector out for a 660cc and turned up the boost. Ran 164hp/162ft/lb's at 5-6 psi, and was pretty much maxed out for fuel again. I could swap the other injector to try and get more fuel, but I am pretty happy for now. I think it is actually a little higher HP, because the dyno was set to stop measuring at 6200rpm and the graph was still climbing. I think I saw 177 or something flash on the screen while it was running, and I wouldn't be surprised.
The car pulls hard. I just about pooped myself Huge improvement over before. It is a little thirsty on the gas now, but I have been driving the **** out of it.

On the to-do list:
add another 660cc injector and crank the boost up - maybe later this year
change my blow-off valve
change my muffler to a Flowmaster/ get my exhaust welded
get some tires that will stand up to my abuse

Nothing was really "missing" I did have to pick up a few screw/bolts, and I didn't use some of the parts that came with it. I had the oil return welded into my oilpan instead of using the fittings. The turbo does burn some oil, but it isn't too bad. I don't think I need to get it rebuilt for a while. I actually have a couple extra turbos that really need to be rebuilt. I might get one done some day and have it waiting. They are nice too because they are also water cooled, not just oil.
Thanks for the kit dude!

Julian. Awsome news guys!!! 164+ HP DAYUUM!!! I'm jealous. I now have the slowest 7thgen

can't wait until you hit 8psi!

SuperFishy

whats about abes? its pretty slow. How long did it take them to do all the dynoage and what not?

Tofast4me

About an hour and a half.
