i havent posted pics of my car in a long time and it has gone through some serious changes. right now i am still running a stock d15b. i have an empty z6 block, TT rods and vitara pistons wating to be put together. then as soon as that goes in i will start on a sleeved z6. FAKLAD!!!!!!!! i cant bring myself to run anything else. here are the pics










Sleeper front mount



here is the car its in



this is the next one to go under the knife. its a 95 M3, 450rwhp at 15psi with a supercharger is my plan on stock everything except clutch. we will see what happens

good! those wheels suck though..are u runing open dp? well , with open WG flange?

Scott-EP

right now its an open dump on the wastegate. i ran ot of welding gas. i plan to reroute the wastegate back into the rest of the exhaust.

i am acctually thinking about getting some different wheels. these came on a car i got a few years ago. i would rather go fast then dump a bunch of money into wheels

will the heat from the exhaust manifold affect the diaphram in the waste gate ?
just wondering because im fabing mine up soon too

Scott-EP

the wastegate doesnt acctually sit above the manifold. it is off to the side so i dont think that will be an issue. for some reason i have had a lot higher underhood temps with this setup even when just cruising and the wastegate isnt open. i think i am going to try the spacers between the hood and hinges. i hate the ricey look of it, but if it keeps the temps down then it will be worth it. so far i havent noticed the coolant temp above normal at all, but the fan runs a lot more often than it used to

Walter

but runing without dumptube downwards? runing like that dont melt radiator? ive seen a prelude ---- runing like that and ------- radiator ,etc..

Where did you get the WG elbow. Need one badly.

Setup looks nice.

seerex

I think I seen those on ebay.

Scott-EP

the elbows are on ebay. that one came with the manifold.

as for the wastegate, thats not finished. i ran out of welding gas and havent had a chance to get more. this car only gets driven once a week or so and the turbo is so big that the wastegate hardly ever opens. in about a week i will hopefully have it all wrapped up. it still wont get driven much though. it needs a better tune and after tuning on a friends civic with hondata yesterday i am too spoiled to keep pulling chips and re-burning them. i am going to go with neptune cause it seems just as good as hondata and i wont be supporting ********.

anyone have any expereince with neptune rtp?

Walter

im sure Chris yes..

what turbo is that? looks good
