i'd just call around to some race shops and see where they get their bends and if that doesn't pan out just try some regular exhaust shops like Tuffy or Midas or whatever and see if they know where you can get mandrels.

 

I thought you said you were doing 2" piping like me.

 

For the exhaust - not the charge pipe.

My charge pipe bends are silicone couplers.

 

Yo Streetz, how did you clock your turbo? I just reclocked mine today for fun.

 

I'd better ask stupid questions before I actually do something stupid.

With my blow off valve, can I hook it up to ANY vacuum line off the upper plenum? Such as the 3/16" small one that comes off a 4-way tee that usually plugs into your aftermarket intake on your 00vi? My HKS SSQV comes with a 3/16" fitting on it and I thought might as well use the same size vacuum line to go with it.

 

I ran my line right off of my intake pipping my self.

 

I see. I guess just about any vacuum line off the upper intake manifold will work.

I've got just about everything I need lined up for the install. Only a couple misc things left.

 

sooooo? are you boosted yet!!!!? or did you give up?

 

Chill homie. He's letting me catch up

 

shut up ur lagging too. lol

 

Hmm no boost on either?

 

Not yet... those dyno #s on my sig are N/A heheh.

All Im missing is 2.5" VBand and T3 flanges, oil pump, some angle with reducer couplers, and WG spring. Just over $200 worth. Almost there

 

interesting..

 

What kind of wastegate are you running? They have the whole set of springs of flea bay for tial wastegates for like 50 bucks. ALso the T3 flange is there . All the couplers you can want.

 

Sir I will AIM you up later when I get back. We may have business to attend to lol

Oh and its a Turbonetics. Im picking it up today from a friend. But he has an 11psi spring on it. I need a 5psi spring.

 

Thats fine man . Im on all day.

 

so are you going rear mount also

 

lol

I still think he's gonna finish before me, but yea. werd. As long as the projects get done

 

well you'll be in the 13's now and also in the 300hp club

good luck with your build and more traction problems

 

if his not in the 13's now n/a, he dosnt deserve to own a car 3.5 4g lol

 

I'll be waiting for your 11 second runs.

 

And I'll be waiting for you to ship me a new tranny, lmao. j/k

It will see track runs, but i think mostly it'll be a dyno queen. It is after all my daily driver so I cant afford too much downtime on it if that tranny goes.

MaxBoost! Whats going on heaaaa?

 

I'm Turbocharged guyz...

I hit 10psi, i don't think my WG is set correctly. I'm leaking oil too. I gotta fix this stuff when I have time.

 

What wastegate are you ruinning and where do you set your refrence to? Also what spring do you have in the wastegate.

 

Turbonetics Deltagate Mark II. WG reference = off intake charge piping right before the intake manifold.

I have no idea what spring is in it - supposidly a 7.5 or something? 1/2 bar? i have no clue.

 

Did it stay at 10 or go higher.

 

10psi, i dont think i heard my WG open though - im running open WG.

 

It wont be as loud as open wastegate on a front mount. I would see and make sure the wastegate is opening. Also are you burning oil out the exhuast?

 

I actually might be. Gotta check the oil system again.

 

If you are. your sump pump may not be draining oil fsat enough.

 

i have a oil restrictor fitting installed in the inlet. the pump pumps at 1.89 GPM. should be ok i think.

 

the inlet should be fine then but i would make sure that it is in deed pumping the oil out. That would be my guess there if you are burnign oil.

 

I have a transparent fuel filter in the front of the car where it returns the oil to the oil cap - theres oil flowing in there. so i guess its cool.

 

Get some pics up asap too man.

 

fasho. its raining in California though

....storms.

 

w00h00!!! sweet stuff man congrats on getting is done :-D. weeeeerd!!!

Once you figure out the oil situation (which btw, how long is your hose bet'n the turbo n the pump? Its a good idea to have at least 2 ft of distance there just in case after high rpms theres too much build up that the pump cant pull out in time) hit the dyno and see where this sucker is at (and get run files please! I will do the same when my time comes at the end of the month hopefully)

again, CONGRATS ON GETTING IT DONE

 

Sank you sank you!

Yeah, the outlet hose is about 2.5 feet.

 

Make sure its not residual oil left from what was still there overnight. Thats what used to happen with streetz car until he added the turbo timer hooked up to the oil pump. Basically the oil pump runs 2min 30sec after shut off to get all that left over oil out of there. That got rid of ALOT of smoking of oil.

 

Thats not a bad idea. It can only help. It would at least remove the hot oil from the cartridge.

 

Dam man. I'm burning hella much oil out of the muffler/exhaust. Nothing else is leaking now.

I have a oil restrictor and my turbo timer is set at 2:00. I'mma try 3:00

I don't see why it would leak.
