Simple green and a rag is usually my choice for engine bay cleaning.

I think ima pour that in there and let it sit. Then hose it out

 

Car turned off at a stop light again after a WOT run. I bought a low mile maf and if that doesn't do it, next up is the ECTS. And if that doesn't do it, then ima change the fuel filter.

And if that doesnt work ima start a fire

 

any updates?

 

Changed IACV, ECTS, and went back to my 3" maf, so far so good.

 

any vids yet?

 

No vids, I am gonna install my electronic boost controller soon. I am gonna wrap the bpipe as well. Then I will do the tune of all tunes

 

My $3.60 boost leak tester

I ordered new couplers and t-bolt clamps. Should get it on this week or next week. Still need to install the EBC.

 

I have never tested for leaks and i have been wanting to make one of these to test my setup, i know for sure i have a TINY little leak in one of the welds for my charge piping, only way i know is cause it sweat a little it of oil from the weld when i was having blow by problems...

Now i have a question on this tho, do you pressurize the whole setup including the Intake plenum? Do you crack the throttle plate open a little? Leave it alone? I was always curious to know how you were SUPOSED to do it...

 

I am going to pressurize it all to about 10psi. I am going to try with and without the throttle open

 

Dopee...

Let us know the results

 

I have all my new pipes now. I took off the ones that go into the engine bay and started painting them black today.
As I was cleaning the IC today, still had more oil residue left in it. So I took my amsoil power foam and cleaned it out. Hopefully that is all well now.

Tomorrow I need to go to my alu welder and get some of my other pipes welded so I can paint them black.

Then I can hopefully install it all and do a leak test.

 

I need to go buy a 5gall air tank so I can do a leak test.

I just did a tune because the car was RICH AS **** at partial throttle. I have it decent right now. I was only running 13-17 degrees timing in the mid range so I fixed that. Right now max boost is only 5-6psi. I need to install the EBC still but it is way too hot to work on the car

 

update?

 

Never did the EBC, still have the solenoid if anyone wants it.

Switch to Z32 maf, everything is good right now. Running at 8-9 PSI. Need to switch the wastegate spring so I can get to 12psi. I need to fix one of my pipes in the rear, it started to sag.


I am switching to a Magnaflow high flow cat this summer, installing a J&S safeguard, and upgrading my Holset HX35 to a faster spooling HX35.

 

Why dont you just run a test pipe????

 

I dont like the smell lol

 

Love these types of threads! Been running on boost of some sort since the early 70's. Plow through and make it work young man!

 

Took these vids a few weeks ago. This is with the new headers/muffler IIRC(def on headers, dont remember on muffler)


This is 2nd and 3rd


3rd and 4th


It is only about 8psi right now. I think close to 10 in 4th.

 

Nice video's def a fun drive

 

this level of dedication and ability might be useful to my boss.

 

Did them headers do anything?

 

^this

 

They changed the tone of the entire car. With the new headers/muffler/cat boost comes in faster. Power wise it is def faster in the top end.

 

So I just put on a new turbo.

I have a HX40 and a .62 turbine housing from Tims Turbo's


.62 vs. HX40 housing


New turbo with the new housing


HX35 vs HX40



Here is a quick vid of it in first.

Sounds awesome, but I have some boost leaks, no muffer yet, and i need to fix the oil feed.

I currently put a .037 jet for the oil restrictor but i think i need to go up to .060-.07x. I bought a NOS jet kit which has jets from .047-.071 so one of the 8 in that kit should work.

hopefully in the next month or so i can fix it all up and get some track runs in.

 

 

you need to race this dude with a cts-v you know.

 

Nice...... love the turbo scream...

 

sounds crazy

any different between the tims and bullseye housing

 

Nice sounding!!!

 

sounds great.

 

Can I haz some moar plz? Need more video, I'm itchin.

 

I read thru your thread and I may have over looked this but I have a few questions, now is your charge pipe made from aluminized steel piping or aluminium ? And how come you chose to go with a intercooler that had an inlet on one end and the outlet on another instead of going with one that has them both on then same end ?

i have alu steal, i will upgrade to 2.5 oval aluminum eventually

i wanted to keep my fogs and my front lip is molded to the bumper/fenders so i couldnt remove them to install a big IC

i installed my ic with the bumper still on..

 

no 15psi no care

 

What blow off valve are you currently using, Its such a hard decision to chose from I really don't want to spend more then 150.00

Kevlo!!! So nice to see what you have done here! You took what was basically the Maxima RMT prototype V.2 (V.1 being Streetz) and improved the hell out of it. Well done!

Any chance you could post up a vid from a stop to say half way through 4th? Just to hear that sucker scream! Man I miss that sound lol
