Trance's HMT project
 

Alright guy's, you've officially done it again. Corrupted another individual into turbocharging his vehichle! I fired it up this morning and probably pissed the hell off out of the neighbors... But ah well! :P
Fired right up and I let it idle until opperating temp. The turbo's making a funny squeeking sound at idle but once I accelerate past idle it goes away. I also blew a coolant hose that runs to the turbo, so I'll be mending that and pics will be on their way!
I havn't boosted yet because I'm running open downpipe without my wideband right now until I finish the exhaust, but I'm sure when I do, it will be very satisfying after all that work.
Thanks HMT for everything you've done and taught me. This will not be the last project though. Theres a few more being worked on as we speak ;)

---- it i dont want to see pics just a discriptive write up and i'll use my imagination

Re:Trance's HMT project
 

Lol ok guy's ok, I have to get the film developed and then I'll upload them to the site. I'm still a cheapass who buy's those disposable cameras for everything :P
Oh yeah and I got a little ballsy and decided to try boosting. Oh lord is it great. ;D It held a steady 7 psi with no detonation smoking or any of the bullshit. I had a slight oil leak that I took care of, and I've still got to pick up a different fitting to re-locate the vacuum line on my wastegate away from the manifold, but other than that this setup is going to be so much fun .
Pics will be up soon guy's I know the wait is horrible ;)

Ok guy's heres some pics. As you can probably tell I'm no photographer :P I really should look into upgrading my disposable cameras to a digicam some time ;) Here we go--

http://www.newbieforces.com/files/My Pictures0001.jpg Heres a shot of me doing some bodywork after I got pissed during my install. I needed to go grind something.

http://www.newbieforces.com/files/My Pictures0004.jpg Heres a shot of my sexy flat black downpipe that I fabbed up. Sort of a bitch since my exhaust housing is on the drivers side.

http://www.newbieforces.com/files/My Pictures0003.jpgYes, even my dog likes the downpipe. That was before it was painted.

http://www.newbieforces.com/files/My Pictures0005.jpg Ah yes the dreaded oil pan fitting that leaked after I welded it.

http://www.newbieforces.com/files/My Pictures0006.jpg A bit of homemade gasket making going on here to solve the oil leak problem. The back of a notebook worked perfectly, and a bit of JB weld got me up and running with no more oil leaks...

http://www.newbieforces.com/files/My Pictures0007.jpg That is until I fired up the beast and got it to operating temperature and actually blew a coolant line to the turbo :-X This is an engine bay shot after the messy coolant spewed everywhere. "Cleanup in isle 5"! Nothing a few of those hose clamps on the valve cover wouldn't fix ;)

http://www.newbieforces.com/files/My Pictures0008.jpg Heres a shot of my Tyrus front mount sitting pretty behind my front end. Don't mind the body filler on the doors. I removed and welded up the side moldings so I'm not done with the bodywork end of the car yet.

http://www.newbieforces.com/files/My Pictures0009.jpg heres another shot of my engine bay. I really need to get some better quality pics for you guy's.

http://www.newbieforces.com/files/My Pictures0010.jpg And the final shot of my front end conversion. As you can see I live in the hood. it's a high crime area over run by gangs, prostitutes, and drug addicts :-X
Don't worry HMT I will be back with better pics and a video. Next up on the list for HMT projects is that unsuspecting flat black Isuzu Rodeo next to my car ;) Thats my brothers and we've got it injecting a bit of N02 for a lil' kick in the balls. Just waiting on the bottle to arrive and I'll get a clip of that too.
