*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know I made this video about 4 months ago AND now am FINALLY getting it posted. It's not quite as funny as the last one, but I did get pulled over (not shown in the video). I got a verbal warning of "be careful" because a couple people "called me in" :-\ As you can hear in the video I was worried about that cop from the beginning, and YUP he got me ::)

I actually got what i deserved though for doin it on the street. But im not gonna lie, it was fun :P

It displays my famous "custom" (if i can use that word) ;) front bumper to fit my starion FMIC. It actually doesn't look THAT bad now does it? I can't believe I didn't show this earlier.

It's on 6 or 7psi I believe in that video. And look at how 3rd gear pulls. It was a run up to 80mpher's. Not too bad.

Enjoy the show....

AND RIGHT CLICK AND "SAVE AS" Im serious. My last acct got deleted so i had to make 2 more...heh. So if this doesn't work LMK asap and ill open a new imagestation account and continue to post until they come to my house and take my computer away 8)

Worked for me. Damn, I wish I had some country roads like that. I think you'll probably get more response in GD. Looks good though. ;)(No, I'm not talking about the front bumper) lol ;D

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT

OHH yeah oops. I forgot about that. :o This MIGHT be in the wrong forum. Im sorry if it is. Well, if it stays here, cool...but if it needs to be moved, that's alright too :) Just wanted to show some fellow FI people what to look foreward to :P

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT

welcome back racin.....im not going to mention to what board you've been hanging around recently.......

I'll watch the video when i get home. 8)

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

Maybe its just me, but I couldnt hear the bov...now that I think of it it's probly b/c you're running open downpipe, silly me.

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

i cant open it. its just says page cannot be dislplayed :(

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

Thanks guys for the compliments ! :)

Yeah, the BOV is really really quiet w/the loud ass open downpipe. I can barely hear it when im in the car. It'd sound good if it was quieter though! :)

Also, you have to right click and save as for the video to work properly. :( sorry guys. That's why ur havin the hard time.

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

hey thats with the t3 .48 .60 turbo right? and if so how do you like it?, and when does it spool up at? I just ordered that turbo. Pretty nice vid.

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

imo you should fire the camera man, i wanted to see the boost gauge climb!
and yea, like what was said, it doesn't seem that fast.
either you have really good tires, or your not running nearly enough boost. you should be roasting thoes puppies once boost gets to full!
dont be afraid to give her a few more psi.

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

impressive sol... =) Gotta love 'em...

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

Couldn't hear the BOV and I think you need a new clutch. :)

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

www.gaugepods.com =) I have the same one.

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

thats way faster than my 91 hatch si with mini-me i/h/e when i had that... i wish my car can pull to 80 that fast. also i did hear the clutch slippin a little bit when you went from 2nd to 3rd i believe. but anyway that seems like a project that went well. i'm almost done with my turbo mini-me soon! we'll see how that thing goes in my 91 hatch :)

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

hahaha thanks for the replies guys. You're hilarious.

I just took the car out for a drive after 3 months and it turns out I had a boost leak. I can't remember the exact timeframe that this video was made so it's either the fact that my "flapper" on the wastegate wasn't closed all the way, or that one of my charge pipes had blown off.

I actually had to rethread the actuator arm in order to get that flapper closed.!!! THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH CHANGING INTERNAL DOWNPIPE FLANGES ON THE T3. Going from the stock DP flange to a volvo one, will leave the flapper open!!!! It worked great, but the night I took it out, I forgot to re-attach the vacuum line to the wastegate. WELL, the car overboosted and LUCKILY blew off a charge pipe, but i didn't find out till 3 months later, when my friend and i were installing the cut-off switch. I didn't want to mention this, because I wasn't 100% that solved the problem till I drove it.

My compression on the motor was 180psi all across, so I knew it was either a boost leak or the crack in the exhaust housing was causing problems. I also, have oil spitting out of the compressor, I know isn't good but its seem to run fine so far. (I've got a spare T3 in the garage :) )

So after driving it tonight (with no insurance might i add ;) ) the problem is fixed. It's boosting 7psi now and ONCE AGAIN, it scares the ---- out of me to drive the thing now. lol

My setup

T3 60 trim .60/.63 (cracked exhaust housing, VERY COMMON)
450cc injectors
VAFC (on the hack)
timing retarded 2 degrees
BCPR6es spark plugs
starion FMIC
2.5" dp running to exhaust cut out (still has stock exhaust)

that's about it.

OH! and that LOVELY front bumper everyone likes ;D Ill make another video soon, (prolly in march) once the insurance comes back on. You guys wont be disappointed :)

Anymore questions, feel free to ask. All of your comments BTW are funny as hell

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

I also forgot to mention.

Im on stock clutch. I've got a 6 puck waiting to go on in march when it warms up though :) can't wait.

And after watching the video, it's the flapper. NOT the charge pipe. The charge pipe happened after that.
You can tell this by both of my videos. IDK where the other one is, but remember the howling from the turbo in my first video? The 2nd video doesn't have that because of that gay ass flapper not being closed. Now it sounds like pure extacy now.... :)

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

saw it on the other website. cool vid man.

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

yeah me and another person were talking and i figured you had a 60 trim t3 cuz it would reach full boost around 4500rpm maybe a little before that.. BOOST LAG!! anyways get another video up with your car in the spring, i wanna see this thing now.

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

Is it cracked in the housing or the o2 sensor elbow? If it's the elbow piece, I have one for sale off my .60/.63 if you're in a jam.

Re:*video* of my turbo sol. Not as funny as the last, BUT
 

It's the actual exhaust housing. I've got a .48 with the exact same thing. I have a feeling most of them are cracked due to the cast.
