Lookin Good!
How long till shes all done?

that's great Keving! good luck! remember! i'll race you when i get my ball bearing turbos. :P bizatchio!

 

very nice and neat Kevin. I like how you set up your battery in the trunk...it looks like a first aid kit or something when it's covered, hehe.

Maybe you can give me a ride in ghetto Hayward once it's done.

...i could go on..

 

My 2k2 will kik yer ***...





























but my MAF isn't working..

 

Very nice... i wish i could do that to my car since most of my friends are boosting their cars. My friends 2k1 Toyota Tacoma has a TRD supercharger. We finished installing a turbo kit on my friends 2k2 Lexus IS300 two weeks ago complete with a custom adjustable fuel regulator and fuel return line. And tonight we started taking apart my friends 2k 1.8T Volkswagen Passat to do a turbo upgrade with custom programmed ECU and larger fuel injectors. Also our car club presidents 87 Nissan truck will soon have a custom made turbo kit complete with a large front mount intercooler on it. And about 4 Honda Accord and Civic waiting for their kits to arrive.

 

Where's the oil filter in pic 14.And where do you get that thermostat adapter.thank you.

 

wish I was in Cali to work on that beast and get it done. My car was down for 2.5 weeks I cant picture my car been down that long.

By the way where did you get the fittings to fit your Oil cooler? I would like to do that with the stainless steel lines, looks very neat and no mess, These rubber hoses just aint cutting it no more.

 

big pics...

 

Wow how do you find anything with all that crap on the floor. No wonder it is taking you so long to finish.

 

lookin good!

 

I thought the same thing!

 

why did you have the valve cover off?

Is there that much more space between the G4 and G5 front bumber that you can fit the IC without cutting the support? Or did you modify something else...

Can you show pics of the oil return tap? Upper or lower oil pan?

 

polished valve cover

nope..

not yet

 

quit spending donation money on your turbo

 

Thank you! Waiting on the polished valvecover to come back from the shop. If I knew it was going to take this long, I would have spent a little more and got it from another member.


Just bring it RiceBoi! Hehehehe


Thanks Chris. No problem, I can give you a ride when you come back on a weekend. :-)


I can't bling bling like you.


Let me know when you get it working again Mr. Silly Wabbit.


Wow, that's a lot of friends boosting. Which turbo kit did the IS owner go with?


Oil filter is not on yet.

I have to thank Chunger for letting me know about the Mocal oil adapter. http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/mocal.htm


I bought the fittings from a local shop, but I can give you the Aeroquip part numbers. Rubber hoses suck!

4 FCM2008 -8AN flare 1/2 NPT
2 FCM1013 -8AN hose ends (you may want to locate a good spot for the cooler before buying these)
2 FCM1043 -8AN 120 degree hose ends


Glad you noticed, Pinky. Hehehe


All the stuff is in its repective pile so I know which pile to go to for a certain tool.


Thank you!


I'd like to see your floor when you're in the middle of the hybrid engine project. Hehehe


Polished valvecover. The bumper support was modified... no way around that. The oil return tap is on the upper oil pan. Tapping the lower oil pan may cause the oil to back up into the turbo causing premature failure. I know Harold doesn't have any problems with the lower oil pan, but I'd rather be 100% certain.


Who died and made you me?


I told you not to say anything!

 

 

Very, very nice Kevin, it looks like you really know your stuff. I'm envious of you.

 

why... you have a Porsche 996 and he has a POS maxima

 

Maxima > Carrera 4

Get with the program.

 

give me some of what you are smoking

 

He went with RevHard. Good fitment but i think it's a prototype cause we had problems with fuel enrichment and RevHard couldn't figure it out. He is running 440cc RC engineering injector, adjustable fuel pressure regulator(forgot what brand),inline fuel pump and a custom fuel return line. (toyota's are returnless fuel system)and an Apexi AFC for fuel control.

 

ahh... this is news to me... well if/when you guys get a chance I'd like to see a pic of how the upper pan was tapped... what size fittings and steel braided lines did you use...?

 

i don't know what he is going with..but i am going with 10AN... he might be going the same also... or maybe 8AN

this site has some stuff.. i got this site from sx7r

Looks good so far

 

if your garage ain't dirty... you just ain't doing enough work

 

 

 

Jesus that looks like Sprints garage, who was there? the Taliban
how can you find a tool in that mess?

 

gracias senor...

 

sprite...the EPA called..they want you to contain that exxon sized oil spill on the left over there.

 

Kev that looks so sick!!!!


Myabe one day I can grow up and be like you..

mr. bling bling

 

Thanks guys.

The fitting is -10AN. I will show pics of where it was tapped, but I need to take out some "stuff" first.

Your floor will get dirtier and messier, Matt.

 

What kind of camera did you take the pics with?

Megapixles = ?
Zoom = ?
Were you on auto-focus = ?
Were you doing any special features like a "macro-mode" for the upclose pics?

Sorry for the 20 questions, i got a digicam and for some reason my pics aren't turning out as well as i'd hope.

 

any camera 2.1 megapixels and up should come out fine once resized down..

maybe your setting on your camera is set to 800x600 .. what megapixles does your camera have?

 

What kind of camera did you take the pics with?
Sony something-a-rather... forgot the model.


Megapixles = 4-ish
Zoom = various
Were you on auto-focus = yup
Were you doing any special features like a "macro-mode" for the upclose pics? Nope

 

this is what my cousin has that i use..

Ours look similar. The specs pretty much match too.

 

maybe it IS the same
