stock sstc setup for now.. but it get me going for now lol

and yea the intake manifold is nice esp for 80 bux

 

i need a deal like that.

 

How hard was the install?

 

i didnt do this one myself unfortunately, as i didnt' trust myself with the oil and coolant lines, but the guy that did it said it was a piece of cake .. everything but like 2 things bolted right up (one of the things that didn't was the oil return.. cuz the lnf has a press in fitting where nothing else does)

on to tuning now.. cuz right now its almost boosting at cruise basically but that will be an easy fix. everything else is good.. boosts 6-7 psi.. i'm sure i'll be turning it up soon

i just cant figure out what that pcv is supposed to goto stock.. on the turbo.. i think it's to the intake but idk i gotta put something over that ..

and i have to add more coolant once all the bubbles get out.. i thought it was fine then all the sudden it spiked up to 3/4 hot and i almost shat myself .. luckily i was at my destination

**** spools quick.. and no surge or anything ..

as far as power i would say its seems similar to 7 psi on the procharger.. but idk i havne't been there in a while lol i'm going to try to dyno it soon.. but that all depnds on if turbokits.com has time.. i might to someplace else

 

What is going to be your next setup?

he he he.

 

k04-2871 lol maybe lol but i'll be staying turrdboz

 

Get a clutch lol

 

i have a spec stg 3 in already

 

so far cars holding up well.. have it on about 9 psi currently.. still gotta do some tuning..

 

9psi . psht. not enough for that 2.4

 

i know.. just there tilli i get it dialed in.. will be going up to 12 .. maybe more soon

 

got it dialed in some more.. apparently i was only at 7.25 before with a spike up to about 9.. bumped it up some more should be at 10+ still no surge at wot..

car is beginning to feel more like 13 psi on the prochagrer now lol

 

some videos i took today to get some idea of how it sounds

 

I heard some "spoolege".

 

not to be confused with splooge.. which inevitably happens most of the time when spoolage happens.. so i could see the confusion lol

 

lol

Your car does sound pretty bad ass.

 

thank you sir

 

i adjusted the audio on the videos slightly i'll have to re post them.. lol

but if this damn weather actually stays nice i'll actually get dynoed.. it's been cancelled 3 times already lol

 

so i'm thinking long and hard about what i want to do with the car.. and i have 2 choices really

1 full build.. pistons, rods, full bearing set ported head, cams, valve springs retainers 6k about after all is said and done

2 "budget build" pistons, ported head, cams, valve springs retainers this will clock in around 3k

both options will be followed by turbo upgrade (either bnr k04-2871 or zzp efr )

my goals even with the upgraded turbo will be 400 whp at the most more then likely only 350 whp..

my only hang up on the budget idea is my motor has 86k currently of hard miles.. with 20k being boosted ..

the parts that i have are loaded head.. and valve springs.. need cams and retainers.. then will have it sent out to be ported

 

You should be able to get 350whp out of that setup as is. Right?

 

holy **** bro i just read ALL of this it took me so long, but now i know the history of your car

 

yea .. but i'm thinking longevity pushing 350 whp will probably be a stretch on the current setup.. .. i'm getting some decent blowby right now as is and i mean in all fairness it's a 86k+ motor that wasnt meant to be boosted with 11+ psi on it

it's more of a future plan then anything..

top end might happen before bottom end.. i dont have the money to drop 3-6k on all of it right now

 

you get that **** worked out the other day?

yea it's been a long way

 

full build. wut i was gonna do

 

yeah i think so. tomarrow im putting in my front mount and hopefully all my problems go bye bye haha

thanks for the help again btw
