37 Attachment(s)
hi, I finally finished my turbo project. My first HMT ! Although i didn't drive it for more than a few weeks, it was great to build and i learned allot from it. Although it was kinda $$$....student buget :S. Did have some problems when it was finished which i will discuss later on, like running way to much boost, oil problems etc. Never the less, its a Euro crx, D16Z5 (2nd gen zc) engine with the following mods Engine: TD04 Turbo from a 3000gt (spools like crazy) Adjusted wastegate actuator from a ramvan HF manifold. Homemade adapter plate Homemade downpipe TurboXS RFL Bov Starion intercooler DSM 450cc injectors NGK colder spark plugs 2" mandell bend chargepipes Samco hoses Front to end open exaust with megan racing muffler (pretty quiet) Golden eagle vaccuum block Stealthmode oil line kit Stealthmode firewall kit Fidanza 7lbs flywheel Specclutch Stage 3 race clutch Homemade oil catch can Chipped PM6 Ecu (turbo-edit) Walbro 255lph fuelpump Sandwich plate for oil supply other Zeitronix ZT2 kit AEM/ZT boost sensor Pocketlogger ZT kit (with palm V) Strutbars upper/lower/front/rear. Whitehooker bucket seats Auto-meter boost guage Auto-meter oil pressure guage Auto-meter oil temp guage polyutherane moter mount inserts AND LOTS MORE that i cannot remember :y Oke. this is how it was....starting from here, only some mild modifications were done and i had the complete turbokit prefabbed so it took me only 3 hours to get it running again (its my daily driver so...) Attachment 30210 Clutch was already installed earlier Attachment 30211 Attachment 30212 Oke, before i begun....just did some shopping to make sure i had plenty of everything 8) , Oil (not only for my car), clamps, and very important.....Brake disk cleaner...cleans EVERYTHING..its the magic stuff :y :y Attachment 30213 Attachment 30214 Next, the adapter plate: i got myself 2 pieces of 10mm steal, bored the holes and tapped it. Then we welded it together and did some finishing toughes. Voila, one adapter plate Attachment 30215 Attachment 30216 Manifold with turbo Attachment 30217 Next i made myself a nice oil pan, bored the hole, welded a nut on it and to make sure it was oil tight i used some JB weld. Attachment 30218 to make it look a bit nicer (and prevent rust) i painted it black Attachment 30219 next thing....put it under the car. I did this about 3 months before i actually installed the turbokit so i got myself a plug to seal the hole in the oil pan Attachment 30220 Also, i got wrid of the cat converter and mufflers a long time ago. Just using a bomb style rear muffler thats amazingly quiet...untill you step on it >:D Attachment 30221 Next thing to do for me was the chargepiping. I did't want to cut much on my car, and i didn't want to replace the accu. So this is the result: 2"mandrell bend with a rewelded starion intercooler Attachment 30222 rewelded intercooler Attachment 30223 And offcourse the chargepipes were painted...nice and black ! Attachment 30224 Time to mount everything. I had all the guages, vaccuum lines and oil lines prefabbed so i just had to hook it all up. Used a Goldeneagle vaccuum block in stead of a bunch of T-pieces Attachment 30225 When i wanted to install the turbo, i encounterd a problem. The water supply had M10x1.25 thread, couldn't find any nipple that fitted so we had to make my own. we took a M10x1.25 bolt, tapped a hole in it, saw off the nut, grinded it a bit...voila. Attachment 30226 Attachment 30227 Attachment 30228 Attachment 30229 oke, time to mount the turbo. Attachment 30230 Attachment 30231 downpipe Attachment 30232 Intercooler mounted Attachment 30233 The worst part of the piping..... Attachment 30234 Next...injectors....nice cleaned and tested DSM 450cc's Attachment 30235 installed: Attachment 30236 Also important....good spark plugs Attachment 30237 Enginebay overview...pretty full Attachment 30238 Oil return line. Attachment 30239 Just had a few little problems when starting it the first time, a little oil leak but that was it. When driving we did have a problem. when i looked on the boost guage i was stunned to see that i was pushing OVER 12psi (at just 5000rpm). So the wastegate wasn't really a 8psi wastegate. I got myself another one, i opened it and changed the springs. Worked great Attachment 30240 Attachment 30241 Attachment 30242 Attachment 30243 Attachment 30244 This time...i tested the actuator before boosting....just took a pump with an accurate reading Attachment 30245 All done, bumper back on....only the intercooler gives a little hint.... Attachment 30246 I must say...it was very nice to do, but im selling the car (going for a nissan 200sx) so the kit is also for SALE !! |

did you by any chance get oil on the clutch or flywheel and forget to wipe it off? but looks nice seems like you had all the tools to help you out in those situations where you would have had to wait another day if you didnt. good job

Never the less, i just invested in a good set of facom tools, http://www.toolbox37.com/acatalog/JET.7GXL_p.JPG Just about everything there is to get in the automotive business. Just sold my Co meter since i didn't use it much. This was all done without a working bench (haven't got the room for it, only the roller cabinet) on a small driveway (just enough room for 1 car and 2 bikes). Im used to it :P |
