So all the real gangsters in the hood have themselves a '92 CX hatchback. I myself, am as white as they come, so of course I have one too.
Starting things off with Chris' TB and spacer. Stock vs. Aftermarket

Installed straight on a Z6 manifold

Spacer outlined and some die grinder action
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi91.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk295%2Fonlyflash944%2FRed%2520CX%2FIntake%2520and%2520TB%2FP1010233.jpg&hash=ca26eebab83563363e82485d8526f45896a84317)
The die grinder would start off like this
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi91.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk295%2Fonlyflash944%2FRed%2520CX%2FIntake%2520and%2520TB%2FP1010235.jpg&hash=ef663588b7d2b6153e38161109aa1efe9f0f6642)
And then get filled on half the bit like this
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi91.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk295%2Fonlyflash944%2FRed%2520CX%2FIntake%2520and%2520TB%2FP1010236.jpg&hash=051833f51d8be5c4de3095bec99d0e0771566efb)
I was getting really, really annoyed as patience isn't one of my strong suits. So I called it a night and waited till the next day to continue.
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi91.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk295%2Fonlyflash944%2FRed%2520CX%2FIntake%2520and%2520TB%2FP1010234.jpg&hash=49bc080bd628e93e94197a5f050b9c3baabf31fe)
This was about 15 minutes of work
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi91.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk295%2Fonlyflash944%2FRed%2520CX%2FIntake%2520and%2520TB%2FP1010237.jpg&hash=604a5ea982a4ceb9247572980957f523d20cd129)
So I never throw anything away and I remembered that I had some really used angle grinder discs in my box. Turns out, the shield is really easy to remove and the disc reaches in over an inch on the manifold.

Now we're in business
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi91.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk295%2Fonlyflash944%2FRed%2520CX%2FIntake%2520and%2520TB%2FP1010241.jpg&hash=2b3d8857dee482707cfbbb1d3d23b4b84a92c6d4)
Still going to need smoothed out, and the spacer will be blended into the manifold
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi91.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk295%2Fonlyflash944%2FRed%2520CX%2FIntake%2520and%2520TB%2FP1010242.jpg&hash=1ecdae1f6d39913b180ecd95cb50f410288726aa)
Put your steady hands on and don't get in a big hurry. Put some Barry White on the radio or something

Next is smoothing out with some oxide stones and maybe some more bits in the die grinder
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi91.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk295%2Fonlyflash944%2FRed%2520CX%2FIntake%2520and%2520TB%2FP1010245.jpg&hash=21eb32231d5dc905b14cfc837a4e0f5b4b7633df)
I've got plenty to do, and I'll post up more pictures of the build as I see fit and as I have time. I'm taking lots of pictures, so expect them in the thread.

Its the balla d setup. Im not sure how the manifold will perform with the little bit of work being done with not blending the whole plenum. I port the whole plenum and match into the runners.
I also port the whole runner and full cast removal

ISB from majestic. A used 3-4 shift fork from Mista Bone. LSD motorsports clutch, pp and flywheel are arriving today. So not a whole lot. Might have it running by this weekend. Then a short break in period, then I'll be getting started on the manifold and what not. Still need to order a few things like bov and interfooler. I'll probably go CDM on those.
On a side note, should I make a new thread for my OBX LSD install or should I just throw it in here?

The burs for regular steel suck for alluminum. You need to sport for a good carbide alluminum bur like this one. (if you already knew that sorry, I thought you might and were just useing what you had) Concidering there is so much allimunum in the projects we do, it is a great investment. If only used for aluminum they don't really dull either. Soapy water sprayed on your work will also help a bunch in acheiving good cutting. It makes a bit of a mess but really aids in the work and really helps keep the bur from clogging.

I thought it might have something to do with it being alluminum. Those bits are the cheap ones from harbor freight. I'll have to look into that special aluminum bit.
thanks for the tip

Or if your cheap just use the steal one with CRC and when it clogs up clean it by cutting a big bit of mild steal :noel:
-
Put some air tool oil or wd-40 on the bit, every so often as well, helps keep the aluminum from sticking.

Their isnt suppose to be a gasket their is just Silicone :P

uhh, yea. AWESOME tip. makes aluminum dissapear 10x faster, and it doesn't clog the bit up hardley at all as long as you keep it lubed up. Spent the last two hours making the intake pretty with the die grinder. Shit looks solid for my first port job. going to hit it with some sandpaper rolls tomorrow and get it cleaned out. shavings EVERYWHERE

Really happy with how it turned out. Ended up blending it in about 3 inches total. Wish I had some deep throat bits that I could really get in there with but I'm making do with what I got.

Thats oh so nice! ;)
I'm gonna PM Chris and get that set up a.s.a.p.!!! :yes: Looks like the cats coming off my girls stock Integra :P

Not bad for a first timer. Lots of cans of carb cleaner to clean up all the shavings. The spacer really is a nice guide to use when porting

Damn it.
Put my P4A transmission together with the OBX unit earlier today, RTVed it up and all. Bench shifted like a beauty. I've been working on the intake manifold and was looking for a tool and saw the damn magnet that goes in the bottom of the tranny. I'm pissed. I always get in a damn big hurry and take one step foward and two back. Guess I'll wait 'till the RTV sets up so I can remove it easier tomorrow.

Fuck that. break that shit with a hammer and put it in via the drain hole :noel:
-
I'm seriously contemplating using a magnetic drain plug, but it's not that much more work. I mean whats another 30 minutes and a can of break clean when you already have 20+ hours in the project

how much is that TB and spacer combo?

pm Chris M. I traded a cat and cash for it so i don't remember how much I paid for it

70mm throttle body=145

I had it apart once more to install the magnet. Then got to do it again when I remembered the two dowells. Now I'm freaking out cause I can't remember if I installed the interlock guide bolt. It wasn't in my box of bolts for the transmission so I'm guessing I did

When will you hit full spool with that hy35?
-
<8500
-
5300 is my bet
honestly hoping for about 800 lower
-
5300 is my bet

hx35 was 4300 on a LS, i don't think a d-series will do it any faster.
Just eyeballing the HY it looks to have a much smaller area (as in the A/R) for the turbine housing. I think it will really help improve the spool. I'll definatley report back once it's built. I haven't seen too many HY 35 builds on here or the old fail of a site.
-
the HY35 is a good bit smaller compared to the HX35, Its like 20g to 3076r.
-
the HY35 is 9cm^2, so it should spool like a .63 A/R T3, maybe a tad bit slower..
it's a good turbo for daily driver. If this was more aggressive build i'd say sell it and get the HX35. I'm loving mine. spool is slow on a 1.6L but starts building at 5000 rpm and shoots up crazy fast. :yes:
-
use silcone gasket maker on the throttle body/spacer

I just cut one out of some gasket material I bought, then used sand paper to match it to the inside of everything. It worked well and I drilled out the hole for whatever it is that sucks air.

http://www.realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/index.php?topic=527.0 (http://www.realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/index.php?topic=527.0)
And like I've said, I'll sacrafice some Peak HP for quicker spool since this will be a dual duty drag car and auto-crosser. I think the HY will let me spool a little earlier and be able to flow 20+ psi
-
your pics are dead :(
the HX35 is about .82 exhaust, right?
I see about 2psi at 5000rpm.. I'm running a b16 with small cams and a sinktrap topmount using 3" for the J pipe so the slow spool is to be expected.
are you using freelog? you should upload a log file :)
-
I'll fix the HX vx HY pictures later. I have no clue what the measurements are on either turbo. I haven't opened them nor will either be installed for a bit. The engine is in my car, just not wired up and running yet. I will use free log and crome and will definatley post up stuff when the time comes.
-
nice write up with pics of the TB setup.
know anyone with a flow bench? I'm curious how the individual runners are affected by having the TB opening that much bigger and so close to the 1st runner. Either way intake looks great man good job.
-

No I sure don't, and I'm worried too that it will increase air to that one cylinder and possibly run lean. I can adjust that just for safety sake in crome and add like 5% to that cyl.

2 psi at 5000?? What exhaust housing do you have
-
well it runs. i've got some pictures to update but i'll try to do that later. lsd motorsport's dragger clutch is pretty baller. my first non stock clutch to drive on and lets just say, you can't slip it when you pull out like oem ones. drove it for an hour around town, then about 50 miles on the highway to break it in, then went to an auto-x in danville, va this sunday. car held together great, the lsd did it's job and kept the inside wheel from spinning on a nice turn around on the course. so far i'm happy, i just have to rewire vtec and it should be good to go for some more n/a mayhem
-
Whens it gonna be boosted?
-
It may be a while. I've got a lot of stuff on my plate right now. FE exam and GMAT comming up, along with finals for 18 credit hours. I'll be driving it here and there but it won't be my daily as I can't find the title for it to put it in my name... It will be making more trailered strip and auto-x appearances that I can afford to attend
So basically, hopefully before June, but don't hold me to it
-
best of luck with all the shit on your plate

GMAT down, unofficial scores indicate 75th percentile
Drag strip this Friday after a Fundamentals of Controls test, that is, if it doens't rain like last week. Still need to get VTEEEEEEEEEC wired up. And I can't the the passenger side axle to fit iinto the diff all the way. it gets stuck about the width of the axle seal away from fitting flush. Anyway it just leaks a little when you park with that side low and I have a couple extra half-shafts that I'll have to try to see if that is the problem. Might be that the P4A has a smaller hole than the stock EG axles I'm using. Don't really care that much, it leaves two stripes just fine
Also put about another 200 miles on it on a round trip to purchase my new '96 GMC Suburban. I'm planning on adding a tank, a few filters, a valve or two and a bunch of WVO and I can basically tow for free.

That is all for now. Boke an axle at the strip Friday night, but the OBX is still holding strong

I purchased that same TB, still havent installed it. Was going to buy a new intake mani first but maybe i'll just go and do it. I dont have a spacer though, whats the reason for the spacer?? And how do you control the idle? theres obiously no way the iacv will work without the ports there.
-
The hole in the spacer is for the iacv notice them in the pictures. There is an ungodly amount of these running around with no problems with the size hole in the spacer. Spacer is needed for oem Honda manifolds that dont have enough material in the plenum before you port into the iacv port. It is tapered and the iacv port is centered

So anyway, I've got an axle that the outboard CV joint lost the retaining clip that holds the end on the stick. It tore the boot, but other than that it was in good shape. I want to save it and Honduhs service manual just says, "Do not attempt to dissasemble." Well tough shit, cause it kinda dissassembeled itself. I want to put it back together and I can't figure out how the hell it goes. I afro engineered the snap ring. I grinded it down and now it's a C clip that I just drove on the end with a punch. The problem is that these bearings

without the actual stick not being there. I can get 3 in but after that I can't figure out how to get it to do shit. Then when you put the bearings in before you put the end on the stick, you can't get to the C clip to snap it on the end

Anyone ever rebuilt an outboard CV joint? I'm at a loss, any help would be appreciated

just by a new axle it is cheaper usually like $50 to 75 after your old turned in as a core. ;D
most of the people I know keep an extra axle or two handy when they go drag racing. :yes:

new axles aren't cheaper. this one was free and i'm trying to save it. i spent a whole 83 cents on a snap ring
-
Iv had a few apart, I cant remember the trick tho. It only goes in one way, I think it just takes time playing with it.
-
most times in my experience, once it goes back together indexed differently it will vibrate at high speeds due to the balancing job being done in one position and your assembly in another. Sometimes they take out bearings and seals in transmissions. be careful if you do get it together ;D

interesteing. the car has been on auto-x and drag strip duty only so I don't think it would be a huge deal.

Well, I left for vacation last week, and the same day I was doing a grocery run and a local city cop pulled me over. Comes up to the window and says, "I pulled you over because your inspection sticker is a year outta date. Want to tell me about it?" I laughed a little and told him I just bought it and got it running and haven't had time to fix a few small things (high beams, and the exhaust) before I could get it inspected and it would pass. Luckily the week before I actually got the thing put in my name, the proper tags, and got insurance on it so I was legal there except for the 5/08 inspection. I was hoping to have it built and off the road for track use only but I guess I gotta fix some things first. Probably for the best. I have horrible luck avoiding the cops.
Going to start building the kit this comming week.

toyota 4wd front axle rebuild = your answer on how to do honda axle rebuild same shit
Yea, don't own a 'yota. But I did manage to get the axle back together with the help of a die grinder. The bearings should stay in there, but it will definatley be for backup only.
Today, I 'fixed' the exhaust, I'll try to snap a picture tomorrow of the O0ness. Also, I think the reason my high beams won't work is in the combination light switch. I have low beams, pull the switch, they go off and no highs or the blue symbol on the instrument cluster. Anyway, I have an extra that I know works so I'm going to swap them out tomorrow and hopefully get the car inspected so I can avoid another ticket.
-
I checked the fuses for the high beams before I was going to swap out the switch, and then I remembered; I was popping fuses in my other Honda when I was using the wideband on the cig lighter power source and so I had to rob fuses out of this one to get the wideband to work. Yep, I'm an idiot with no memory. Threw two fuses in (from the other Hodna) and I'm going to get it inspected tomorrow. Lets hope they don't care about the rust holes, or the exhaust leak at the muffler. Everything else will be leagal after I buy a pass side windshield wiper.

After failing the inspection this morning, I decided to start on my exhaust manifold.

im runnin the mt 225/50s on my civic. they are the best shit going.
btw wtf are u using the threaded end of that pipe on your clollector. thats not a good idea.

he's using an angle grinder to make a collector and your worried about the threaded part being at the collector.

Collector almost finished. Probably will hit it with the chipping hammer and a wire brush to see if I need to go over anything again

You can see where I hit the point of the inside of the collector just to clean it up a little. I'm going to go back and clean it up real good with some more die grinder action and a few sand paper rolls

dude why did u use the threaded part of the nipple u clearly bought from home depot. the metal is significantly thinner where its ben threaded/ anyways weld the two inner runners firts then the two outers.
-
i am going to agree with mr hotrex. on that one. Weld the two inner ones first, especially if your using a mig.

At the time I started the manifold, the piece of pipe was the only straight I had. It came from work, a cement plant, and I know the metal is thinner, I've already thougth about having to turn the amps down when welding to that runner. It won't be an issue and it will still probably turn out better than some of your manifolds from the past.
Thanks for the tips on what to weld first, I was planning on just tacking the first runner, collector and flange together and then do a test fit. If it all checks out, then I'm going to fully weld said parts, and then start on the collector for the number 2, then fully weld that, then finish with the outter two runners.
On a side note, yesterday I did the freescale 3 bar map sensor in stock housing, and it isn't turning out too well. Car won't idle or even rev past 2500. No cels with the proper map sensor selected in Crome, but still won't run right. I'm horrible at soldering, so I'm betting I cooked the sensor. I've go a buddy that is going to come do another one I have laying around tonight that actually knows what he's doing with an iron.

Thank goodness for friends that are electrical engineers. Big thanks to Red Chris for helping me with the 4bar freescale install. Car runs just fine when you don't cook the sensor.

im sort of a newb in the welding department, what are the strength differences between what you have hear and say something tig welded? i can mig weld and id like to make my own manifold but im not sure if id just be wasting the money if the thing is going to crack every 10 mins.
-
You can have something crack no matter what process you use. If it is a quality welding job (i.e. proper filler material, proper voltage or amperage setting, proper flux or shielding gas) then it doesn't matter what type of welding takes place. I have the ability to arc weld, and that's what I feel the most comfortable with so that's what I used.
I feel sure there is a more technical answer, but for what I'm doing and probably what you would be doing, how you weld is way more important than what you weld with.
-
that manifold is hilariously awesome.
way better than my splog
-
As for paint, I'm running some 2000 *F header paint from Advanced. Shit works great. Just follow the directions on the can. I believe it's VHT brand. Painted my manifold, turbine, and downpipe and they're all holding up fine so far. Sick build BTW.

Thats all for now. Plan on starting the charge piping soon. I need a HX/HY-35 outlet flange with a 3" hole so I can make an exhaust. The other option is if someone has a 2.5" v-band assembly for cheap or even a used one foot pipe with the 2.5" v-band on it I'd be able to use the stock cast outlet flange. Let me know what you got.

Turbo doesn't spin at idle! Can't wait to see what it does at 8k. My camera broke so I've been taking pictures with this other camera that I don't have a cable for. Turbo is on the car and getting oil, an 'exhaust' is on the car, charge piping and bov are on the car, only thing I have left is injectors/resistor box/tune. The wideband sensor is there, just haven't got the controller hooked up yet. Better update soon.

That is all for now, gotta get pictures of the oil line and return as well as the exhaust and hot side IC piping

Wow, how did I missed this thread ?! Awesome fabing sir! :noel:
I should have let you buy these injectors lol

well done thus far
keep up the good work, big intercoolers are a pint to fit, you are usualu left with an intercooler condom not a bumper

Got a question about these Precision 880 injectors. Any help is most appreciated

They aren't as long as the stockers, are they cool to use? Should I just get rid of those black plastic spacers and use flat washers until the fuel rail sits flush? Also, I'm guessing I don't need that brown o-ring, right?

Resistor box was installed today as well as getting power to the wideband and running its ground to the t-stat housing. One day I'd love to take apart the case on the PLX and some how make the lcd display fit into where the stock clock is, or should be, CX doesn't have that luxury item
-
injectors look same rail to mani length to me ???
Should be close because of that black slever or whatever it is on top of the stockers that crush when you tighten them down. The 880 don't stick so far into the manifold. Do they make it up with spray pattern?

I have the Delphi 75# which are the same as precision w/o the sticker and they bolted in fine. :yes:

Well I'm going to give it a shot, and if it doesn't work then I'll just hook a vac line from the turbo to the port I added.

After playing around in crome for an hour, the car idles fine with the 880. A little rich once the car warms up but 13 afr isn't horrible. The problems I'm having I think can be attributed to the lack of preset injector battery offsets in the latest version of Crome. I'm having to guess and test and right now I've got it idling decent with a 60 off set in the Fuel Table.
Does anyone know where I can find a fairly accurate offset value for the Precision 880s? Should I find an older version of Crome and use those? I'm a noob when it comes to tuning.

I had to use 65 for an offset on mine for 788cc Delphi injectors. ;D
I use Crome 1.5.3
I have cranking offset at 0.600

I use Crome 1.5.3
I have cranking offset at 0.600
I tried 65 before and it was a bit on the rich side at idle. Cranking is 0.35 and I might bring that up a bit. The only true cold start took a little while for it to kick over.
BTW I'm also using 1.5.3, it's the latest and greatest free version, I do believe.
ratcityrex, that's exactly what I'm talking about, except with the EG chassis, the clock is a bit higher and more toward a driver's view out the window. For now, it's cool chilling where the radio went with the cheap-o boost gauge.

1.5.5 beta is out
Shows how much I know about tooning
Car runs and is drivable. I blew a coupler off the IC first pull. I've been messing with the tip in and I can't get the car to not stumble for a second as soon as you slap the gas. You ease the gas down, it does fine. Any suggestions with what values I should have for the tip in and addt. tip in?
Also, what plugs would you run with this setup. NGK R5671A-7, #4091 sound like a winner?
-
are you watching it with a wideband? is your injector latency too low causing delay with the tipin?
Yes. I've been trying to use FreeLog to datalog with. I'm getting proper readings, it's just I don't see any boost values on the tables for FreeLog. I'm not sure how to adjust the injector latency in Crome. I'll have to do some more research on that.
-
1.5.5 beta is out
I think 1.5.5 is for the use of the Demon. I tried to DL and use it but I can not get it to work.

OK
So now that I have some free time today, and the strip is open this evening, I'd like to get my car where I could at least make a few passes. The problem I'm having is that I can't get FreeLog to work worth a damn in boost. I can log and see everything like I should, I just add the extra columns in the MAP Scalar tab and the shit never makes it past atmospheric when I'm logging even though my boost gauge says I'm making boost. I am using a Freescale 3bar in the stock casing. I think the reason I can't get FreeLog to do shit is cause I'm going to have to change the equation for the MAP scalars in FreeLog. I just don't know where that shit would be at on the program. Help is much appreciated
-
So I had some free time today to mess with the tune, jump in it, let it idle to get to temp and then go do a 3rd gear pull on the low side of vtec to get afrs dialed in. Right now I'm just using the rpm and afr readings in freelog and then make adjustments in Crome and repeat. So first solid pull I get to about 6k and ALL SMOKEY HELL breaks loose. First thought, I just blew the seals in the snail, even though I have a pop rivet as a restrictor. So I make the turn that goes back down the hill to my house. On the way, the oil light flickers a bit so I kill it and coast the rest of the way. Get out and find this:

The damn oil feed line came off the fitting and rust proofed the ENTIRE engine bay. That oil has less than 200 miles on it. I'm pissed. However, I messed up the oil pan gasket when I built the motor and it leaked some previously, so I guess now is as good a time as ever to go ahead and fix that seeing how there isn't hardly any oil left in the engine. Too bad they don't sell brake clean in gallon jugs. The good news, I have a solid mid to low 13 afr from 2k to 6k on the low side. Gotta clean up the mess and then jump on the high side.

BUMP for getting a tune next week.
the grand wizzard of the interwebz gets the honors
I've been taking care of a bunch of little shit to get it ready for the trip to Asheville and back. Pulled the oil pan, installed new gasket, fixed the small leak on the drain of the turbo (shitty gasket again), Fixed the oil feed line to the turbo so it hopefully won't come apart again, got something rigged up for the PCV that should get me there and back, finished an exhaust with a glasspack muffler so it exits at the rear of the vehicle instead of just behind the firewall, installed a 25 psi boost gauge (hoping to use most of that), and I still need to swap out an axle after a cv joint boot exploded a while back. I ordered a camshaft with 3 day shipping from crower this past weekend, and it still hasn't got here. If that gets here in time, I'll throw it in.
-
thats a pimp fmic sir

Lovin the manifold
Sucks about the turbo feed though, that would scare the shit outta me

It did. Thought of several bad things right of the bat, but once the low oil pressure light came on while making the trip back to the crib, I knew what happened.
Car is running great since I 'fixed' all the small stuff. Shit makes 8ish psi with the waste gate arm unhooked from the flapper, on low side of the cam only. Can't wait to see what JD can do with it!
-
Came back from a final exam to a package on my step with new cam and springs inside. Going to try to get it installed tonight!
Then another final tomorrow and a paper due which I haven't started...
-
lol you got a dirty engine bay :P Nothing broken hopefully.
-

Nope, just oily.
Got the stock cam out, new springs swapped in and the new cam goes in today when I get some free time. I'm such a dumb ass sometimes. I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out why the crank wouldn't turn past a certian point. I was thinking there was no way that the valve springs could hold that much force to keep the crank from spinning. Then I took it out of gear and it was easy...
-
LOL good job!

Bumpstick installed and top end buttoned up. Loading up the rust rocket now to head to Asheville. I'll post pictures later.

Well JD is awesome, my mechanic work, not so much. Seems that the clutch wasn't holding once we started to make a few higher boost runs. It's all brand new stuff, with like 1600 miles so the conclusion we came to was that oil must have gotten on the clutch from when I was swapping out the cam and springs. Dissapointing for sure, but that's how it goes with cars. I'm going to try to get the transmission out this weekend and clean everything up good on the clutch/pp/flywheel and reinstall everything then we will see what happens from there. Also going to try to adapt the HY-35's integral waste gate setup to something that I can swap out lower boost cans for. JD wasn't really excited about trying to tune 20 psi all at once, lol. I didn't know any better but now I do. Learned alot, and hopefully will get everything sorted out in due time!
We are supposed to get up to 12 inches of the wite stuff this weekend, so I have some work to do to get the car in my garage where I can work on it. The good news is that it is WAY more drivable now that someone who knew what the heck they were doing was tuning the car. I won't have to trailor it again to get it anywhere, which is a BIG plus.

JDFTW

Higher boost = 5 psi. It was really saddening. 18+ psi actuator makes for a scary street tune experience, but the car wanted to move. :/
For an 8.5:1 SOHC, it fucking ripped at 3000 rpms before the turbo began to spool (positive pressure at 3500, crackrocks and clutchspin at 4000). I knew I loved that cam for a reason, but the only time I got to drive Blossfield's car with that cam on the street it had a GT28RS so it just made boost all the time.

Why didn't you guys spray a few cans of brake clean on the clutch through the pivot arm hole?

Anyone have fixed a slipping clutch due to oil before? When I actually get it pulled (think when it gets above freezing again in a week or two) is the best thing to do just soak the disc in brake clean and then rough up the pp and flywheel surfaces with some sand paper, just to get the glaze off?
-
sand paper, break clean.
i thought brake pad anti-squeel paste went between the rotor and pad. the brakes sucked really badly.
sanded the pads, brake cleaned the pads and rotors, worked perfect.
hopefully you will get lucky since ur blunder is about 7 thousand times less stupid than mine.

A friend just tried the brake kleen trick on his 1.7 RT4WD wagon, but he did it with the disc out of the car. Didn't help.

Thats 2 fails on the attempt to save vs 1 that worked that I've heard just from asking around. The shit still clamps like crazy, still really easy to kill pulling out. I'm just hoping I haven't driven on it enough to really soak the oil into the material.
Wonder if it is possible to burn the oil out of the material on the disc. I could throw it in an oven for a while and see what happens
-
When I first turbo'd my car I put the pan back on, and the gasket on the main side slipped inside of the pan. Leaked oil all over the flywheel, and somehow got on the clutch side. Anyways, it started slipping. I just kept driving, and evenually, it went away. LOL. Dont know if I would have risked it, had it not been on a stock disc (with heavy PP).
Good luck to you though.
-
Sick build. Did not read it all but JB welded oil pan/map sensor and a stick welded mani is a fucking win. Excellent work.

He said fuck it and drove on it for a week, it started grabbing. Hasn't been past 12 psi yet, though. So IDK.
-
Mine was a stock clutch, and it kept slipping after a month...couldn't even hold 2psi on the freeway. I never even found where the oil was from - I could only guess a few drops from the VC made it down and somehow flung themselves onto the clutch. I got a used ACT HDSS, sanded the flywheel, and it's been awsome ever since.
I think you would have to heat it up juuuust right to burn the oil but not the clutch. The heavy PP probably helped in the example above.
