gotta love

won't have to pull my oil pan off til i'm ready to install the kit. got a brand new pan off a fellow member. i feel more comfortable having a clean pan welded.......just me though.

the new pan is the ss/sc pan which = 6qts to my current 5qts. can we say happy turbo? would an oil cooler be overkill?

the lsj oil pan for a turbo 2.2 would be a definite upgrade for any seriuos builders.

 

doesn't the lnf only have 5 quarts though?

 

actually i'm not sure now.................hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

technicaly it will be 5.5qrts with a turbo and the stock pan on a 2.2

 

that ain't the stock 2.2 pan. this however is the pan i'm getting. so what it's 6.5 then? i figured it'd be about that.

 

I know its not, its from a redline/2.0 but you get the idea. The turbo should add .5qrts about. just add 5 and start it up and see where its at then add more till its full.

 

the ss/tc sedan pillar looks good. now where's the boost?

 

got an update on the kit. their missing some part so the kit won't be shipping on schedule.....be nice to know. gonna call em in the morning to find out what's missing and how long it's gonna take.

 

That's never good news to hear lol. But at least your getting it . I'm $2700 away.. + a tun

 

got the call and it ships today; tial was behind schedule. my pan gets here today.

 

is this kit SAI compatible??

 

It should. I think with trifecta he can disable the sai anyways...

 

Yes, since you need a tune, Vince can eliminate the SAI without a problem. Think of it as weight reduction by getting rid of that SAI crap.

 

Almost there.

 

Doesn't take long to install that stuff does it....wow, good job.

I remember seeing the instructions for the Garrett kit when it was available through them and thinking to myself that it wouldn't be hard to do most of it by myself (except for the fact that I haven't done any of it before).

 

Trust me it took almost 8 strait hours already. and its just "mocked up" But we took our time doing it. So its almost done. I already had all the pipes cut and basicly everything done we just re-did some pipes and made it all fit better. Fyi put the downpipe in before the turbo. Its not fun taking it out 3 times, it gets heavy.

 

will do. my dp was sized up for the corsa with a 2.5" outlet. the kits were shipping with 3" flanges. don't forget my wastegates external should make for a easier hookup..

 

I always had in my mind it would take me a whole weekend and then some, but if I have someone helping me that knows what they're doing it can be done in a day at most...that's what I meant.

I'm lazy though and would probably have Elite do it or something (assuming they don't charge too much for it).

 

scheduled for delivery tomorrow. i'll get some detailed pics of the stage 2 components and post em up.

 

We both know what we are doing and we both were working on it the whole time. Only took a brake to eat pizza and thats it. Its not "easy" at all if you plan on doing this yourself, you will need another set of hands.

 

So did you recieve it? I know its alot to look at as a whole so just do one thing at a time and take your time doing it.

 

i was bowled over the moment i opened the boxes. i'm good now but left with a couple of questions to be honest and a little disappointed, they forgot the wb bung.

now i have to get two things welded. there goes a little more of my money....lol

 

what kind of questions i may possibly be able to help i just got my kit in two days ago.

 

so there's the bent T for the evap line fitting. well there's a line off of that with a brass T fitting is this for your BOV and gauge or am i missing something. I understand i'm running the wastegate off of the intake and how that works but were am i drawing this line from?

 

That is for the BOV and Wastegate. Im getting a electic sending unit and electric boost guage to cut down on vaccume lines.

I got a vulcan manifold so its a little different. Did you get a specific spring? or you going to use the boost controller? I left the boost controller off and just going to use the 1bar spring.

This line replaces the one on the intake, It connects near the map to the evap canistor.

Trust me you will notice it was worth the money when you start putting it on the car, it will fit like a glove. But give yourself atleast three days to do it, just dont rush man take your time.
