2003 Eclipse GTS-T 80% complete
 

enjoy, just dont hate. http://i45.tinypic.com/2yy9sgh.jpg

http://i47.tinypic.com/2z89ro6.jpg yup water to air inta-c00ler http://i45.tinypic.com/2eda4bp.jpg thats enough for now, i have calculus homework due in like 10 hours...

I dont see anything anywhere NEAR 80 percent complete. I see a turbo attached to IDK what with a pair of vice grips and no intake.

yaa.... you dont look that far complete. and be sure to clean up those welds.. and hope they hold. but goodluck anyway

good job. dont listen to these fools. you are doing it yourself so thats all that matters. when its ready to run all the hard work will pay off....

Im not saying its a bad thing and he gets all the props in the world. Im just saying its not 80 percent done

the last thing he needs is negativity. post something nice to keep builders motivated. because a turbo build gets frustrating and frustration can lead to failure or worse....quiting.....

I like the fact he did it junkyard, who needs fancy manifolds for a cheap build. I love the wastegate tube too. so simple so you know itll work. Get some injectors in that monster and boost it up

i just said he better clean those welds. and hope they hold. they look like ok welds but with all the imperfections in it it may not hold. and i do know. i learned welding from my dad who is a master welder/fabricator for over 30years. but anyways like i said. goodluck and hope everything works for ya

in recent news, i blew a hole in my a/c radiator when trying to hook this ---- up, and my ecu remapper, tactrix cable came in today, yayy... oh another thought, which should be gotten first for future reference, new injectors... or new fuel pump, i.e. which is the limiting factor/?

80% complete on the hotside? lmfaoo, thanks for the support tho, im 17 and a lot of faggots at school who talk ---- about my ride, one guy with an ls1 firebird im dieing to smoke... only time will tell... here is MOAR http://i48.tinypic.com/2qk1dmq.jpg

what are you doing for fuel and timing? you might wanna finish it before telling people your gonna beat them. i know ws6 firebirds run 12s stock and i dont think that eclipse will run 12s soon

im just going to ---- around w/ the ignition timing and fuel curves w/o having catastrophic damage with the tactrix cable, ecu tuner for Mitsubishi and subaru

well i must say that that does look better now. but overall i hear that the 3g Eclipse just arent that good for performance regardless what you do. but more power to you. as for the fuel situation? i got NO clue on the 3g Eclipse injectors so sorry. maybe with the new fuel pump they'll shoot a little more. but what are your overall goals? that plays a big factor.

really, i could care less about power, i just want a good windup bov sound to piss hatas off, when i logged my ecu, the injector size said 220 ccu/min i take it thats what my stock ones are, i have 210 bhp, maybe like 250bhp for starters,,,, another question is that, ill be able to hear my engine knocking, and get a warning before the whole thing blows up right? i hear about ppl blowing their engines, but that wouldnt happen TOO easily right? starting at 4 psi of boost...

at that low of psi you could probably go without a tune even. alot of ppl do. not for a long time but it can work. and you could or could not here the knock. depends on how bad or severe it is. but i think with only 4psi of boost you shouldnt have many problems with knock or all that

alright, thanks

really? i was hoping to see a noob with some sort of intellegence but im done with this thread now you disappoint me man you really do

trust me, ive done all my research dude, 6g72 n/a sohc isnt capable of big power, i know that, and im not buying a goddamn honda so chill.

here is update, the only thing left is something about a oil line that acidently got grinded in two, lololol, and a couple of leaks in the welds which i will jbweld until i get more money to fabricate more with my experience and knowing what im trying to make now... water-air intercooler plumbing isnt done but i have everything, http://i45.tinypic.com/mw7gae.jpghttp://i46.tinypic.com/m80a35.jpg

that is a lot of JB weld on that inter-cooler... honestly i wouldnt trust that. why not just buy a used FMIC? ir a SMIC of a older eclipse? or just redo the intercooler... not really that expensive, just thats a pretty important part so id want mine to be in good shape and no chance of leaks. but if it works it works. but im still not a fan of your welds

i would prefer a fmic, but here is how i would have to run it, ... pos fwd engines, lol

should i run the bov vacuum hose off the turbo??

also, wastegate boost hose goes on the top or side of the wastegate?? thanks

also, i dont like the boot drops from fmic...

$20 on ebay, bolt-on turbo simulator.

BOV connects to the intake manifold.

WG in the side.

thanks, i got it right the first time, and im no poser dude, do it, do it right

I'm not gonna lie that's the most ridiculous ---- I've ever heard... That's a lot of work and money if that's all you care about...

calm down, im not saying i couldnt use more power, its a starting point.

damn looking nice.. just cut a hole on the hood and have it sticking out

---- that.. I'm all kinds of worked up meow!!! Ok.. I'm done... Why would it matter whether its a fwd to put a fmic. Another quick question.. What the hell is in the backround of this pic? And thank god for heat wrap!
http://i48.tinypic.com/2qk1dmq.jpg

the background is a bench on my garage, lol, with a can crusher on the wall, yeah the heatwrap on the downpipe had to go, because that litterally made the diff on whether it would fit in my car....

im not haveing a hmic

(hood mount ic), lmfaooo

You will need a 255 lph fuel pump.

That will over run the system a tad and allow you to get away with 4 or 5 pounds, somewhat, I can't tell you it's safe because it's a band aide. ;D

If you want to make more power than that you need injectors and a plan for tuning.

I would recommend using some of the heat wrap, even it's only where it fits, heat is the enemy of plastic/rubber under the hood as well as heat is the enemy of making power at all. The lower the under hood temps, the better off you will be since your car won't be overly tuned for the rich side of the fence with stock injectors. I would do anything to contain heat and stop knock before it happens.

For sure... I'd especially put it over those funky welds of yours so people like me don't bag on you when they see your car:p

so what is up with the tittle its 80% slower now ?? lol

nice

Wouldn't it be cheaper to get a rising rate FPR? And more stable? Over-flowing a stock FPR isn't a reliable way to get more fuel in the cylinders. He could probably get a used set of bigger injectors for less/same as a new fuel pump.

DEFINITELY needs a plan for tuning. And I agree with Snagel on covering the DP welds. :o

injuries... Attachment 6832
stitches were in the cut, big burn from hot welding rod on wirst, and a socket wrench slipped and ripped up pinkey...

here is the whole hotside... i know its HOME MADE, lol my dumb ass mom closed the garage at 1130 at night with it sitting in the driveway...

oh yeah, the whole engine exhaust is being routed to turbo, not just front three cyl anymore, took a saturday...Attachment 6833

will this work? lol jkkjkAttachment 6834

both 6cylinders have to go directly to the exhaust inlet flange then a seperate pipe leading from the turbo exhaust flange and rest of the exhaust... the way it looks like you plumbed it from that pic looks like the turbo wont even spool because it can exit the exhaust without having to force its way through, can you show me a diff angle pic?

okay so the turbo works.... car runs, only problem is that sometime it stalls at low rpms, ecspeccially when i bring it up to 5k and then slip it from a gear into neutral, the wastegate is set on about 4 psi, and i get boost at about 3.7k rpms, bov doest actuate but im getting some friendly compressor surge.

No bov = surge. Is the bov vacuum source from the manifold?
