hey jeff you like that ---- dont u!! ---- adapter plates lol.... made it fit, test fit, welded test fit welded took like a day lol..

imma weld the new studs to bolt the turbo to the manifold today!! bigger and stronger little tad of locktite, run the new charge piping and well.

test it out suckas lol..

as for the question about the mirage hatchback. to this day i have no clue on the map sensor i rigged it to see what would happen and guess what, no check engine lights, no limp mode. asm can vouch this itch spiked at 14psi and it was fine.

started to lean out around 11psi so we added a inline.


if you want you can email me at work ramaro@healthpart.com and i would be more than happy to answer questions for u.

hey jeff can we get the first non honda on the projects page??

WTF can everyone here find people the have the end tanks changed on their starion FMIC except me. I"ve called machine shops here and there and alot of other type's of places and no one can do it cause it's either aluminium or are affriad they'll mes it up. Does anyone on this site know of someone that will change them for me if I send it to them ( for a price of cousre ). Oh and some people said try a radiator shop.... I don't know if I want to trust my FMIC to some crapy side shop that will most likely mess it up and not tell me.

i got my aluminum probe intercooler rewelded for 50 bux. https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...d=2576;start=0. of course now it looks better since i painted it but since your is a starion its polished anyway. im in california though i dont knowif u want to ship it out here i wont charge nothing for the trouble just pay for shipping to get here and back plus the 50 bux. i dont know if its worth it to you. maybe you should just look for a welding shop not a muffler or radiator shop.my zip code is 90262 if u want to see how much shipping would be. i know what your going through i had a pain trying to find ashop too. ::)

Where do you live at? I live in Michigan and if you want to send it up here I can have OTC (Oakland Technical center) Weld ANYTHING! We are putting a Sr20 in a friends 91 240 and we made a custom transmission mount/crossmember because the dealership was out. My friend goes to OTC and does all my work for me and I do some of my own welding but this guy will make anyones Mig and Tig welds look like ----. I'll have him weld your I/c because hes doing it to mine. He'll prob charge you like 20 bucks to do it and you just pay for shipping.

Re:My Mirage!! check out this turbo suckas lol
 
im trying to make a 2.5 inch downpipe fellas. i might need some help..

The flange is iron. the actual pipe is 2mm thick stainless steel. I need two 90 degree bends on it and i was thinking of using aluminum to weld but every time it touches the welder the welds go right thru it...

any ideas?
