The time has come....
 

I am ready to get the remaining parts for my junkyark turbo setup. what i have already for the sohc

Manifold
turbo t-3 saab 900
ecu(uberdata)
dsm 1st gen 450cc inj
dodge stealth bov
oil feed line
oil return bracket thing for turbo
intercooler(jrc 6inch)


Things i need are piping for intercooler, some sort of downpipe, resistors for injectors, couplers or radiator hose with large enough diameter for piping, and some sort of wastegate. I think i may rig the wastegate as my manifold allows for an external, but here in lyes the problem. I have to get this done on little over 200.00.
Where do i go from here?

Re:The time has come....
 

to the forsale section..

on that budget, dont count on getting a CCA or anything other then a junkyard IC.

starion might be a good choice since its a Frount mount.

Re:The time has come....
 

200 is a bit tight as almost half of that will be the cost of an external wg.

Re:The time has come....
 

Your turbo doesn't have an internal wastegate?

Re:The time has come....
 

he already has a intercooler ;)

you still gotta worry about tapping your oil pan aswell, and new oil and filter. I'm pretty sure radioshack discontinued the resistorss, so hitting up a junkyard or a forsale forum you should be able to find them real cheap, there are other cars other then the 88-91 civic/crx si that have them.

Go with the internal wastegate that came with your t3, your budget doesn't allow for any sort of decent external one, unless ofcourse you were to get your hands on a audi one and make a mount for it.

look in your local phone book, there should be wherehose distributor for hoses and lines, every major city usually has one, they will carry 2inch and 2.5 inch and possibly 2.25 ID hose of different qualities (silicone, rubber, double thickness) these are usually designed for rad hose on semis. The stuff is relitevly cheap, about 10-15 bucks a foot. you can also get your oil drain line hose from here too, they usually carry a steel braided version that runs for about 6 dollars a foot.

exhaust shops throw out pipe all the time, mandrel bends are usually hard to find locally but if you hit up some performance shops they can usually direct you in the right place. U bends can be really expensive. ebay is also a good choice for them. You can sometimes just amke your bends/chargepiping out of random inlet tubes from junked cars, lol.

You will need one u bend for your downpipe+a flex pipe+gasket+o2 bung+flaunge. Plus a couple feet of 2.5 if you plan on getting rid of your cat.

Re:The time has come....
 

no they didn't, i just bought some two days ago http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...5Fid=271%2D132

Re:The time has come....
 

God damn us canadians are always getting ripped off, last time I was in there, I had to go to 4 different locations to get the last ones in the city, they told me they were discontinued. thanks for the correction kevin.

Re:The time has come....
 

people at radio shacks are idiots, chances are any of us that go in there know more about the store than they do, you just have to let them know that :P

Re:The time has come....
 

on a $200 budget. ----, this is right up my ally.
1. crush bends and flex pipe. -all from autozone. probably $35 at most

2. who needs a DP?(tempary)

3. resistors. radio shack. $5

4. couplers, home-depot or lowes. (or stealthmode) they are in the plumbing section at $3 a peice, so you can figure from there. probably 6 or 7 of them, so ~$25 -the 2" ones are about 2.5" so those work perfect. you will still have to "jerry rig" something up to go into your throttle body

5. why not use the internal one? if all else fails, a good spring and some chain! ~$10 (again, temp.) hell you could be boosted this weekend!

I didnt even break the $100 mark 8)

Re:The time has come....
 

nice. I just called the local napa here and they have radiator hose with a 2.25 inner dia. But my intercooler is 2.5 so i will have to come up with something. Radio shack does have the resistors. And as far as the wastegate goes, I am not going to be using a chain from a screen door, but will consider it if i cannot find soething else soon. The t3 i got didn't come with the wastegate, but the swing valve assebley was there. My biggest hangup is the downpipe. Not sure what i want to do there. I have a ac/dc 250 amp welder with a high freq attachment(tig) and then a flux welder. I dont have any shielding gas and do not see myself getting anything in the near future. So i am stuck using the chitty flux machine. And i think i will go the ever so impressive open DP for a few weeks.

Re:The time has come....
 

I like the way you think. I went to lowes and homo depot here, neither have couplers that work. THey have plastic ones in 1" 2" 3" 4" ect.. and the rubber ones are .5" to 1.75" and thats it. talk about gay. I was drunk when i was there, but i made sure to ask if they had anything else resembeling what i was looking for and they said no. Bitches

Re:The time has come....
 

the home depot couplers will work just fine man! like i said, the 2" ones are accually 2.5" so those will work fine ;)

no DP isnt that bad. you will get a little nausious though when city driving. :P

Re:The time has come....
 

Oh, and the saab t3 has coolant hookups the cool the oil cartridge, but do i need to hook those up? or can i get away with not doing that? I have a turbo timer already? and if i could get away with not using them right now that would be nice.

Re:The time has come....
 

if you have a welder you can make your downpipe easy as pie!!! get a chop saw or hack saw or cut off wheel or whatever and you can make whitty bends aswell. I welded my downpipe with a 110 arc welder with contaminated rods, works great 8)

Re:The time has come....
 

no need, coolant lines are designed to elimate the use of a turbo timer, so you are set. Just plug the holes tho ;)

Re:The time has come....
 

just plug those water holes. you dont need that ----. -and a turbo timer, you dont need that either.

Re:The time has come....
 

U can use flex pipe as a d.p. as a temp fix.

Re:The time has come....
 

The 2" ones are plastic and not flexable. So i don't think that they are a option. I think i will just go with radiator hose from napa. As for the downpipe, do you think i should order one of the three bolt flange thinks that will bolt to the swing valve assembly and then just make a open dp the vents out the side of the front bumper?

Re:The time has come....
 

the 3 bolt flangers are really annoying, but they work.

Re:The time has come....
 

not pipe, couplers. they have them. i have seen them on LOTS of set-ups ;)

Re:The time has come....
 

I am trying to keep this as ghetto as possible (cheap) and so far i am doing a fantastic job. The most expensive part was the jrc intercooler. Oh. and i have a mock up sohc motor on a engine stand that i can use to get a dp ready for this weekend? is there anybody in the oregon area that wants to participate in the install?

Re:The time has come....
 

frank you didnt break the 100 dollar mark and it shows... :-X
