HMT NE turbo y8 EK *lots of pics 56k beware*
 

This is my buddies ride, i just got it running tonight. Everything worked out pretty well, Im so anxious to tune the -----ass y8. So the setup is:

ss auto mani :o
ss auto wastegate
63/48 t3 (we thought we were buying a 48/60) jammed!
stevemode oil lines
greddy knockoff bov
obd 1 conversion harness and chipped p28
johnnyracecar budget 6" front mount
homo depot couplers
dsm 450's w/ radioshack resistors

came out better than i thought, started on the first crank too. No leaks or anything. looks pretty bling bling, Im kinda jealous.

Anyway, on to the pics!

Homemadegaskets.com haha, i make all of them out of 2" copper round pipe. Then i cut it down the middle and flatten it out. Trace the shape of the flange onto the gasket and cut it out. Beats the ---- out of trying to find dp gaskets for t3's.

heres the dumptube and the ssautoshit manifold and wastegate. I told him to let me make the mani for him, but he didnt listen. He actually got a pretty good deal, $100 for the mani and an intercooler. All of the welding was done by me (my first time) with a harbor freight flux core. True hmt fashion. some of them actually looked pretty good twords the end. Actually, most of the tools we used were from harbor freight, i bought a 4" grinder and chop saw last month. Im very happy with how all of their stuff works, for the price- you cant
beat it.

welding woulda been alot easier with an autodark helmet, not to mention one i didnt have to hold with my hand. This ---- was great.
