Re: first turbo project
lol I have to reply to this cause this guy has made my day.
He must have must have been boosting for 30+ seconds to get that thing to max speed. At that point the air coming out of that little *** turbo must have been 300+ degrees. The only thing saving that poor little d from probably the most awesome rod through side of the block failure is that massive intercooler which helped keep intake change temps down to slightly above sane levels..
Remember that little turbo is only going to be so efficient to a point and you are probably way past that point with the boot levels you are running. The amount of detonation that motor must have experienced is surreal . Freak motor indeed.
Keep us updated, I love what your doing. I wish I lived closer to you so when that thing does take a ---- I could come help you swap in a fresh d just so you could do it all over again for my entertainment. Maybe this time get the base map so the car will last longer then the length of time this thread has been going on.

Re: first turbo project
ya i have no prob finding another d-series motor for cheap as hell. all these ******* arounbd like their b-series. idk why because i have beat every b-series i've raced.
i kinda have a frankenstien motor, i have a Z6 block with an A6 head. if the mini-me raises compression mine has to be lower. so maybe that little bit lower compression is savin my ***. i can't wait to get a new motor in so i can turn the boost back up to 15. its ------ slow *** ---- now on 6 pounds. and i think i lost compression in a cylinder. but i still dont burn oil or anything. i blew another head gasket so i burn some coolant up and overheat sometimes
and can someone burn me a basemap for cheap.... i'll let everyone know now, that i know nuthin about basemaps and ----. i'll start readin

Re: first turbo project
Any idea what size it was? cause I know the DSM pipe is 1 3/4" and the throttle body is about 2.5" I checked several stores near me and nothing seems like it would fit good. I want to hook my DSM BOV and pipe up like that to the throttle body. Best spot for a BOV.
