Latest updates & pics of e30 project
Made the downpipe last night using FLUXCORE because I ran out of gas and just wanted to get it done. After some grinding, paint and thermal wrap you won't notice.;)
Also mounted the IC up front. Here is my downpipe escapade: https://forums.pelicanparts.com/uplo...1139422002.jpg Flange w/ wastegate hole made larger. https://forums.pelicanparts.com/uplo...1139422070.jpg Cut piece of 2.5" stainless pipe to fit https://forums.pelicanparts.com/uplo...1139422132.jpg Fitting https://forums.pelicanparts.com/uplo...1139422207.jpg welded. Ufff, those are some gangster welds. And yes I did cut a hole in the downpipe. Just forgot to take a pic, lol.

Eta? who knows. I've only driven the thing around the block. Maybe mid 14's but I built it more to say I could than anything.
It sucks when no one makes a flange for your turbo. You have to get creative. |

Re: Latest updates & pics of e30 project
I would guess another 2-3 months to be completed. But I'm in no hurry to finish it, just a tinker toy. Still need to put a front facia on it, hood with a little scoop or hump to clear the turbo height, and do a disc brake swap on the ass end.
As I posted in another thread my buddy just picked up a 06 Subi STi and is going to dithc the stock turbo and asked if I wanted it. Problem is I can't figure out what the specs are. I think its a Td04, if it is then its going on inplace on the small Warner Rb5w thats on there now. Anyone know the in's and out of that turbo? Nope never had a 200sx. Only Porsches recently and Mustangs when I was in highschool. |
