Finally Boosted Pics!
 
I've been trying to get back to my house for two weeks so I could post pics of my install but unfortunately my car hasn't been able to make the trip. It still smokes a lot as you can see in my thread in FI. I'll post a pic of the return line and you can see it should be good. I'm putting on a stealthmode restrictor thing on tuesday so lets hope that works. I had to borrow my friend's 1989 Toyota Camry to drive the 150 miles back to my house from college. He has an mp3 player, it wasn't that bad. Anyway here's my setup...

D15b7 stock block, D16a6 head
T3 .48/.60 5 psi right now
Uberdata
Stealthmode oil line kit
Open DP
HKS SSQV
Drag turbo manifold (off Hotrex's old Super D)
DSM SMIC
Custom IC piping

I think that's it, on to the pics

Here is how I used to feel about my turbo still it started smoking >:(

Here is the oil return that is fine and I can't believe this thing still smokes.

How's the ssq sound at 5 lbs? by the way my oil return almost sits horizontal and I don't smoke at all still. :P

I'll up the boost when it stops smoking or if I decide it can't be fixed and I don't car anymore. The BOV is quiet at 5 psi so I am anxious to turn it up anyway. Open Downpipe isn't as loud as you'd think, I mean its loud but no louder than a ricer with no muffler or something.

there's no way that exhaust isn't loud as hell when you get on it. congrats on getting it all installed. I am almost there again. Just waiting on my wastegate, then i will be boosted gain.

when i have an exhaust gasket blow out. i get that cool noise.. but usually the exhaust gasket to go first is the one before the turbo.. so its no jet engine..

straight out of the turbo does sound cool though 8)

watch out running that feed line like that, it may be steel but the inside is still rubber, that could be your where your smoking issues came from, i'd suggest putting something over the line that is heat resistant or putting the line somewhere else.

Looks like you've got a good little setup there. Why does the turbo smoke? Just the seals or something else? I was pissed when my first one started smoking too :'(

How would that make it smoke?

mine is that way n its fine. maybe your feeding TOO much oil and its pushing oil through the seals burning it on the exhaust side causing it to smoke, take off ur ic pipes and check for oil inside...oil feed pressure might be to high... jus a thought

I am hoping this is it and plan on putting a stealthmode restrictor in.

so how did that head rebuild project go? running good?

nonvtec 11-21-2004 09:24 AM

Re:Finally Boosted Pics!
 
It's still in the shop, replacing all the seals, guides. Already did a valve job on it and cleaned it up real nice. Haven't decided what I am going to use it on yet. But I do love sohc nonvtec heads. :D
