Lookin' good man...

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

thanks.. also look at the right side of my hood with the EVO intercooler.. you can see all the black left overs from breaking my driver side mount, which was full of some oil crap. It's now welded solid ;D

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

notched my block for the A/C compatible setup.. let me tell you, this was a PAIN IN THE ------- ASS because it was scorching hot yesterday, and I had to work with a dremel and cut-off wheels that kept breaking. also the nuts and bolts on my exhaust were seized up, and I was stuck at home since my gf was at work.. turbo is about to be bolted up so I can finish making the down pipe

Angle grinder would have been your friend doing that.

turbo mounted.. the wastegate isn't mounting because it hits the head. I'm thinking about blocking it off for now until I can get a cheap wastegate elbow from ebay or something.. i'll baby it until the wastegate is mounted

first cut for my downpipe clears the a/c compressor by about 3/4" :6

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

i'm hoping to have this thing running by the end of this week

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

Very nice! I like.

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

Looks too thin
How thick is that

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

----, you are probably right.. it's 3mm

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

Damn I wish you were a local to me I'd trade you my Jackie Chan wastegate and money for that Tial

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

Is 3mm too thin to for dump tube welds? think I could get away with stacking two?

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

Way to thin dont cheap out man you have done it right so far.

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

---- will warp.

wier = cheap flanges

need a bigger drain hose since my fitting on the oil pan is 3/4"
http://a296.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...8b681ef7ff.jpg

also I fixed my wastegate.. took a dremel to the valve seat section to make the 38mm ring fit (it's a 35mm wastegate)
also also, I found out my nissan BOV is seized up, so buk is sending me a ching chong bov.. jay you are awesome!

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

the car is stupid fast.. it spins like crazy after 6k rpm and i'm stuck running 10 psi since my 2.5 bar map sensor took a ---- ;D

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

mine was stupid fast yesterday until i decided to do a 4th gear pull and it had knock broke a ring land or ring.. :3

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)

Good to hear my map worked for you man. When you thinking of coming down to get tuned?

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

Good job that is a solid clean setup and using a dremel :S You are HMT for sure :6

A/C ---- yeah!

turbo is burning a little oil in boost.. :'(
that's what i get for buying it used dirt cheap
http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...5e7af8b497.jpg

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

before you blame the turbo, are you using a restrictor?
And is that drain pointed within a few degrees of straight down?

Maybe you'll get lucky and you're jsut pushing a little oil from too much pressure or not a good enough drain.

You're a ------- trooper hacking that ---- with a dremel cut-off tool. I despise those things as they don't hold up for ----, though I find myself using them now and then.

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

yeah the drain line is good.. i took an inch off it today so it's a slope all the way to the pan with no kinks.. no dice

also tried venting crank case pressure with the oil cap off and it still began to smoke.

I made a restrictor since the feed is -4 AN with a 7/64" hole right before the turbo.. some people say 1/16" but god damn that's like a needle hole.. i couldn't bring myself to do that

I'm beginning to think the 5w30 oil is getting too thin once it heats up. 15w50 time??

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

1/16"

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

that's REALLY small for a journal bearing turbo, are you sure that will be ok?

also I don't have a timer setup, and I just realized i've been cutting it off right after driving for extended time.. :l

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

thats what everyone told me, and thats what i run on a cdm turbo

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

I try to think about that but I forget 1/3 of time...

Re: some progress on my build.. EJ8 t3/t04e (56k eat shit and die)
 

so you dont have a fan on the condensor.. so just use it on the free +better mpg mo comfort..

How did you blocked the pvc and run the tube to the catch can? I'm not sure to understand that part of turbo setup... I learn fast when I want but that part I just don't get it..

Ninja edit: I can see your finger on the pic :P
