Re: Turbo Installed!! (Pics)
^^^^ Thats awesome but yea duct tape dosen't hold boost...I couldn't find couplers anywhere when i was running around trying to find them, guess I have to order them off of ebay
|
Re: Turbo Installed!! (Pics)
Just go to Home depot and get rubber couplings. I ran those for 8 months.
|
Re: Turbo Installed!! (Pics)
You need to get some mounts on that intercooler so it hangs level. Hopefully everything works out alright and paint those chargepipes before they rust. ;)

The duct tape is just temporary cause we didn't have the 2.5 and 2 inch couplings. They are just still on there from mockup. |

Re: Turbo Installed!! (Pics)
I would highly reccomend atleast a rattle can paintjob on your car...that way you're not runnin around looking like the partridge family or something.
I'd definately fix some of the "ghetto" parts of your kit first though...like the duct tape on the charge pipes, other than that it looks good. |
Re: Turbo Installed!! (Pics)
I like it the ghettoer the better
|
Re: Turbo Installed!! (Pics)
I STRONGLY suggest you wrap your positive terminal on your battery in leather or something of that nature.
if you dont you'll be sorry. |

i dont know if anyone else noticed how he has his restrictor valve before his electronic oil pressure sensor. err unless your just trying to see the pressure the turbo is getting. haha. didnt think about that. oh well. just lettin u know ;) Oh and it looks great! |
Re: Turbo Installed!! (Pics)
Yea thats what I had in mind, I wanted to see what the turbo was getting for oil pressure
|
Re: Turbo Installed!! (Pics)

Re: Turbo Installed!! (Pics)
Thanks Craig and thanks for the quick shipping on those U bends that you sell at a very good price :::wink:::wink::: ;) ;) ;) (subliminal message) buy from tunertoys!!

Re: Turbo Installed!! (Pics)
When ur @ homedepot go to the conduit section... they have like adjustable metal straps to hold conduit and other piping in place. Thats what I used and it works great for holding my IC straight.
|
Re: Turbo Installed!! (Pics)
setup doesn't look bad. I have brazing holding my tial wastegate onto my hf manifold :)
|
Re: Turbo Installed!! (Pics)
Well I went to homedepot and I grabbed a 2" clamp from the PVC pipe section and it didn't fit right so I just went with the duct tape again!! I acctually made some boost too...only 4psi but she runs...It spools very late i think for a .48 a/r somewhere around 4000-5000 rpms so I'm guessing I still have an exhuast leak, I'll have some time this weekend to work on her...Matt
Oh yea I also cracked my radiator so I am getting a half width one, that will make things a little easier! ;) |
Re: Turbo Installed!! (Pics)
I had duct tape on my charge pipes for a little bit :-X Mine was the good stuff, held 10 psi too. 8)

Re: Turbo Installed!! (Pics)
