keep up the good work

Re: Progess pics. T25 on EF hatch
 

Hey man, sweet looking set-up. I have almost the same thing going on, but i have a small T3 bolted on to an HF manifold. I'm almost done, but i was hoping you could help me with one little question i have. that little nipple thing coming off the bronze colored housing in your second picture, does that need to be connected to anything or is that some sort of release valve? Sorry for taking away from your thread, but i noticed it in your pics and i was hoping you could just help me out with this. and again, your setup looks great and i wish you luck with the rest of it!

Re: Progess pics. T25 on EF hatch
 

Thanks man. The bronze thing is the wastegate. If your compressor has a nipple fitting, connect it to that. If it doesnt, connect a nipple from your intake manifold to the wastegate.

I love saying nipple!

If you dont hook that up, your car will go KABLOOOOEY!!

awesome...haha, thanks a lot for that.

Since i'm using a HF manifold, and my compressor side doesnt have a nipple for that connection, what runner do you suggest the connection be made to, or does it matter? Thanks for any help. (and i promise, this is the last question)

Your intake manifold might have a spare nipple thats just plugged up. If so, use that. If not, you can T off of your FPR (thats what I do anyways) to give the boost signal to the wastegate.

I just pulled the mani/turbo off for the last time and clocked it. Still has no IC or piping, but im gonna start the motor and see if I get some spinnage.

I gots a stealthmode oil manifold or whatever you wanna call it. Nice piece.

STill got no DP, but today managed to weld up some IC support brackets, re-clocked the turbo (for the last ------- time) and started up the motor. I still got a CPS CEL but thats minor. Turbo spins. The smoke burns my eyes!!!!!

Re: Progess pics. T25 on EF hatch

mini-update:

grinded the downpipe flange off of the downpipe I bought of H-T but didnt fit right at all. Went to my friends shop and checked out his bad-ass TIG welder and tried it on some steel and aluminum. Jesus welding aluminum is hard. Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow to start mocking up the downpipe and dump tube.
