Gotta thank Matt for hosting and taking these pics/vid for me. There's a 15 sec vid here too. We didn't push it cuz the neighbors yelled at us the night before for going too fast. "This isn't a race track " :P :thumbup:

(it's short) (right click and save PLEASE) (Someone else is hosting ) Well thanks too. Paul Vang Oil lines, GET UR LINES FROM HIM!!! Great seller! Havok racing manifold :thumbup: Matt for hosting, vid, and pics Dan for vid (which should be up tomorrow) (reason we got yelled at) Brother giving some compliments Bseries ACT flywheel soon to be installed This car Starts, Idles and runs LIKE STOCK!!! it's amazing. It started 1st try! THe reason i say this...I've only gotten to 1 friggin psi. In first gear I cant get boost! (only taken it to about 5.5 or 6) Is my piping too long? Wastegate problem? MAP problem? Exhaust housing is a little cracked on the inside i believe but i've had 4 turbos and 3 have had this problem. My other T3 is too. Could this be why??? Vacum line? I was running RIGHT off the O2 housing. (no downpipe) I do have VTEC too cuz i saw it on the VAFC My settings are about 33% 1-2.5 and 35 the rest. I even went as high as 40% across!! still no boost and no power up top =( My low end is great though. Any thoughts? I still have stock fuel pump as well. Im gonna try the walbro. |
Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
That ------- rag is strangling your intake. I have used that same exact rag as a filter before and it dropped my boost by like 4 psi and robbed me tons of power. Take it off and use a real filter or something thinner. I'm telling you, you won't believe the difference.
Other than that it looks good. It needs some serious cleaning up like those wires and ---- that are just hanging around(gauge pod). Good luck. __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |

It droped 4psi? maybe that's why im not seeing boost. I gotta get that filter on. LOL someone else told me this in another forum too!!!! I though I was the only one that stupid! He said a ton of other people have had the same problem. Holy crap, that things coming off. |
Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
hahaha nice vid dude :P
looks good BTW |
Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
thanks guys. Appreciate it :)
My friends were telling me the car looks too good w/out a front bumper, so i figured i'd leave it off :) (and because it doesn't fit yet ;) ) |
Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
do NOT use a rag.
even stock air filter material is not suitable to wrap over the air inlet. run a filter or run nothing at all. i would recommend going nothing at all until you get a filter. |
Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
Thanks i def will take that off.
ALso, GOOD GOD GET THAT BEAST OFF YOU AVATAR PLEEEEAAAASSSEEE. That is the SCARIEST creature I have ever seen. :o |
Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
throw some panty hose on. Thats what I used until I put the filter on.
|
Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
yah.. dont run w/o anything there.. use panty hose or some screen mesh or something. Last thing u need is a pebble or two getting sucked up in there and destroying the compressor wheel.

Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
i agree
|
Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
Nice setup man...thumbs up
|
Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)

|
Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
wow, looks great.

Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
Hey, where r u located? I noticed that the address for the vid is a UWM address... I go to UWM. Are you in the Milwaukee area???
|
Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
:D Nice setup and vid!!! Those pillar pods are a pain in the ass to get all the wires and crap in there. I'm just glad I installed mine and don't have to worry about it anymore!

Sweet we should meet up sometime. Also, thanks for the replies guys! They're greatly appreciated |
Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
Racinskittle where did you get the gauge pod for the sol? I've been looking for one but I haven't had any luck.
Also, I had some aluminum screen (patio door screen) lying around that I temporarily used for a filter.. is that bad? I really don't think I'm loosing boost cause of it. |
Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
I doubt you are loosing boost with that. They flow air pretty good. I used a piece of silk once and my car wouldn't move. It wouldn't make it past 3000 and no boost for me! It took me a while to figure out WTF happened because I was ------- with so much other stuff. I felt pretty stupid afterwards. :-[

Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
Looks good dan.That ---- sounds great(turbo spooling)!

Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
did you fix it yet!?

Re:Alright turbo is up and running. Here are the promised pics. (sorry to delay)
how's the car running? if you're getting no boost check the following:
air inlet blockage: like a rag or something ;D charge pipe leak: split coupling, hole in intercooler, etc. manifold leak: often overlooked, there can not be any leaks in the manifold itself, where it mates to the head, and where it mates to the turbo. pressure must be able to build up into the manifold for pressure to build up in the charge pipes. it's something like 5 psi in the turbo manifold for every 1 psi of boost pressure. wastegate leak: this would propagate as a manifold leak bov leak: this would propagate as a charge pipe leak check all these things...based on your video, one of these is definitely wrong. |
