I've put my blood, sweat, and tears into my turbo project for the last.. like 5 or 6 months. It's been nothing but hassle and I was so close to finishing. I discovered all I needed was a oil restrictor, after much testing and hassle. But now I've decided ---- it. I was also waiting to post my 1000th post here on HMT until I got everything good and running.. but i'm saying ---- it. (yes, i've noticed im down to 99x with the thread pruning)

I'm selling my turbo parts, restarting from square one, and am trying to sell my GSR/EG hatch as is, still N/A and keeping my rims.

Problems that made me say ---- it:
- Charge Pipes made it take 2 ppl to put on the bumper
- Ultra Ghetto wastegate linkage
- Madddd JDM sick downpipe that went like 3 different directions before it gets to the rest of the exhaust
- Ghetto as ---- log Manifold
- couldn't get motor to run on any injector map with RX-7 460's
- oil return was probably too long
- missing exhaust manifold studs that just didn't wanna get fixed

on top of that, my car's been having some seriously gay electrical problems.
- guage cluster/heater controls don't light up (everything else works fine)
- clock resets everytime i turn off the car and is very dim
- i can't get ANY radio to work.
- recently my oil pressure and a/f gauge stopped turning on. wtf

car's been nothing but hassle since i got it. plan on selling it and buying a 98-2000 GSR, looking at a black one with black interior. really clean. probably wont be boosting it since it'll be my daily driver for college in fall. if anything, i might swap on my built head and big cams, get some 9.5K redline goin

so, yesterday i took everything out, and threw on the stock header for some angry open-header-ness for a few days till i chill out. but for now, this is what i feel about my old turbo setup.


stay tuned for my for sale thread, and feel free to post ****, i could use it

 

we've all been there, some quit, and some work through the bullshit and end up blowing up the engine.

 

Just do a nice NA setup and you'll be fine.

 

doesn't help to hear "you got turbo yet??" at least 3 times a day. lol

it isn't too bad. that's why i said ---- it. i've got big cams that are untuned, so i think i'll just go spend $100 to get the fuel and vtec all tuned, worked out and sexy. i run 14.8 with a fat -40whp between 4400 and 6k

 

ya thats got to be the worst part of life. i just stoped hanging out with people. problem solved lol

 

oh well... like a great man once said "you've got to know when to hold em, know to fold em..."

 

A HMT kit definitely weeds out the weak.

 

Werd

 

check the fuses in youe engine bay, I forget which one but one of them are blown for sure and thats why your radio doesn't work and clock is dim

 

i just set up my HMT setup and my clock dash lights and everything else stopped working too sometimes the lock will work occassionally.. do you have any extra gauges on your car? sometimes when you ad a guage it pulls to many volts try an oversized fuse..
