I turbo'd this car about a year ago for a buddy of mine using mostly stock gtx parts. Gonna rip all the turbo parts off and sell it as a kit hopefully.

Finally got to start on it yesterday. Got the bay all stripped. Almost ready to start fitting the drivetrain and fabbing up mounts.

Ordered an HX35 the other day. Brand new with a 12cm housing for $400. Ordering a clutch tomorrow.

haha.......sure thing nig. I was waiting to have something worth posting.
Shit this thing is going to be a beast!

Ya, it should be a pretty fun ride. Im hopin the hx35 will get me to at least 450 uncorrected. Gonna run a true divided topmount so it should have similar spool to the hy35.
Clearfield which is in Central PA about 20 miles east of state college.

Fuckin ebay dude returned my payment for the hx35. Said its no longer available.
Anyone have an hx35 they want rid of?

This is a Hx-35, 12cm hotside with a true twin scroll setup. Black lines are from last year when it wasnt twin scroll. Both sets of numbers are uncorrected. Also to note this year its on 30psi and last year it was 24 but if you look right as it gets into the power band its picking up around 100hp more!

I was just looking at that in your thread. Thats badass to be able to see an actual comparison of divided and undivided manifolds. I knew it would make a difference but not that much. Bet the crx is a blast to drive with that kind of power.
-
Think I might just go ahead and build the twin scroll manifold with twin gates and use the hy35 I have for now until I get the new engine built.
Anyone see a problem with doing this? Divided manifold on open turbine housing? It won't be ideal but I think it'll be alright.
-
It will work fine. I don't see it hurting anything. But it won't make as much power as a hx35 because it will choke on the top end because of the 9cm housing.

It is fun but has already tried to kill me :noel: needless to say I need suspension badly! Twin scroll and more boost, only other change was front facing Vs top mount manifolds.

Picked up a mint HX35. Brand new 12cm non-wastegated housing. Traded my hy35 even up for it :noel:

The previous owner put the car in a ditch so the passenger frame rail was pushed. Got it set up on the lift and pulled it out yesterday.

So......i've been ordering some parts and trading some shit I don't need or want.
Traded the turbo motor that came out of this car for some 16" rota subzero's, a brand new dry zex kit and $300. Pretty good considering I was about to take it to the JY to get it out of the garage.
I think i'm gonna run a direct port dry setup and add fuel with the MS rather than converting it to a wet kit. Just gonna run like 75 on it until max boost is reach. Just to help it get off the line.
Based on an input to the MS, I can add PW to the injectors while the nitrous is active. Think this is a good idea or am I asking for holes in the pistons?
-
Yeah, you could just simply add fuel with the ms. Go through megamanual and browse msxe forum. You wouldn't be the first to do it. On paper it should work the same as a wet kit. You're adding fuel with the nitrous either way.
This is cool. You're building the escort we should have gotten in the states but way better. Rear subframe is fucking nasty! Love it!

Actually, dude brought the kit and its wet and he didn't even know. :noel:

Awesome :noel:

Started building the manifold today. Was hoping to have it all tacked up today but everything kept breaking. Foot pedal broke on tig. Brushes burn out on chop saw. Blew a contactor for my belt sander. >:(

It was alot easier than building a 4 to 1 collector. I even went gangster on it and cut the angles by hand cause my chop saw broke.

Shit my first attempt at cutting it by hand was a bit lop sided :mexi:

This is flawless.
Plan on doing any dirty deeds or strictly tarmac?
-
Probably just gonna pound the pavement
-
It would probably last alot longer that way in terms of motorsport. Every time i've been offroading in a vehicle i've about totaled something and i'm talking monthly but for some reason need that scary shit in my life. Then when i get up on tarmac things are way more predictable because of the grip.
Not trying to dickride or anything. Build is fucking cool. I'd drive the shit out of that.

Slowly but surely.

Can anyone confirm that this is the fitting I need to mount dual regulators/flowmeters on one argon bottle? Need it for backpurging this manifold.

Thats why I want to mount two flowmeters, so I get correct flow to the torch and to the backpurge.
This T attaches to the bottle and regulators attach to each side. Know what I mean?
-
I would think with a T fitting at the bottle with 2 regulators would be perfect...... well, as perfect as one bottle can be.

At this rate, the car should be done by the time I'm ready to retire. Taking a car vacation in a couple weeks but I think I'm gonna fix my 850R so I can bring it down to the BeastCoast meet :noel:

Manifold is pretty much done. Beast Coast meet has motivated me to actually get some shit done on this.

Dude says the plenum volume is greater than 2 liters. Wants 150 for it.

id say go for it. thats a lot of volume.

Long ass runners. Or maybe its just the angle of the photo. I'd rock it. What's the stock one look like?

I think that plenum on a cut bottom like this would killer matched with a 75mm TB.

This bottom has butterflies in it like a gsr manifold and once they are cut out, it looks like this. I like how you essentially have 1 runner that shrinks to half its size by the time it reaches the head port.
Just sent dude a pm, gonna check it out.
-
I think those runners opened up and tapered where they meet that plenum with it ported to match would be badass.

Ya, then taper the inlet on the plenum kind of like a velocity stack.
I think I could also shorten the runners up by half pretty easily.

Looks way better then what you have. At the same time, you got some badass fab skills why not just make a custom one!?

I wouldn't shorten the runners. Should do well as is

The question becomes why not build one?

I'm with him, I am doing a ton of fab work putting an f23 in my crx by making everything rather than buying a kit and if I had an a/c tig, I would make my own intake too, cause I really need a custom intake in my situation

Granted, one for the escort wouldn't be half as much work but i'd still like to leave it alone for now. I'll most likely build one later once I knock the present list out.

that one was super sexy tho. :o

Idk I wouldn't bother buying one if you can get that plenum.
I want to see this shit done :D

How much cheaper was the jy intake?
Got it for $20
Plenum to go on the stock lower was $150
Not sure if I like the setup or not. If I get it finished and don't like it, I'll just sell it and build one from scratch.

Either route you choose will look pimp, I like this build a lot. :noel:
-
The runners are probably the only restriction at this point. I'm sure you could just chop the runners off and use the rest.

The casting for runners is thick as hell. I got lots of room to hog em out.

Intake is coming along

Nice! I skimmed through and pretty much understood what was going on. Manifold is pretty cool. Both of em. This thing is going to sound insane from idle to redline i'm sure.

FUCK YEA!

Ive always wondered about how well the seal holds up in a wiggins. Seems like it would dry rot to fuck given the plastic/silicon abilities of most of the aftermarket suppliers, but thats just a guess.

I did a little looking around before I bought these. Guys on YB are using them with no issues that I could find. For as much as I'm going to drive this, I can't see it being an issue.

Anyone have a good source for direct port plumbing parts? I have a complete zex wet kit but want to turn it into direct port.
Need to get some shit ordered soon. I'd like to plumb the nitrous and the w/m injection while the engine is out.

I know summit sells parts individual if you find a zex manual ment for a direct port it will list all the part numbers.

I started pricing it out on summit but its going to be way more expensive than the kit I posted. I'll just need to get that kit and 3 more zex fogger nozzles.
I found another issue while I was working on it the other day. The manifold I'm working on is going to send the charge pipe right through my master cylinder/brake booster. So, the question comes now, do i abandon the manifold or rip out the master cylinder and brake booster?
The brakes on these suck ass so I was going to play with them anyways. Could do a pedal assembly like this.

It would give me alot of needed room in the engine bay but not sure how I feel about going to manual brakes.

The simple thing to do would be to weld a 45 bend on the manifold then the tb. Simple easy and best of all cheap if you can get away with it.
K.I.S.S.
BTW I still need to come down one of these weekends and maybe give you a hand or a kick in the ass to get you moving hahaha :noel:

Flip the plenum or cut/flip/weld the ends to put the TB on the other side?

No room to run charge pipe on passenger side unfortunatly.

You could go dual piston firewall side. Thats what Im doing on the porsche. Still saves room and filling fluids doesn't become a mystery.
If you still want power brakes and want the room, yoink a hydraboost off of a mustang, or go full baller with an electronic booster.

Ya, it would definitely be a bitch to fill em mounted like that. I could mount the reservoirs out on the firewall.

Decided to keep rollin with this manifold

1972 350 amp Union Carbide. AC/DC with high frequency start, factory water cooling and post flow. Put a modern water cooled torch setup on it and it welds like a boss. Probably the best machine I've ever welded with.
I'll snap a couple pics of it next time i'm at the shop.

I dig your tungsten looks like it gets a work out lol

Normal side-cutter.
Find the 2 seams, clip 2/3 of the way into the ring on both seams (clip all the way if you don't mind leaving marks), then you should be able to pull it off. You may need to sort of fork it with the side-cutter to pry it off, or make a few more cuts. That entire area is sturdy stainless steel, so any marks will be cosmetic.

Hey man. Totally stumbled across this build via google. I LOVE IT!! But I literally had to register just so i could ask why aren't you going with a laser tx3 awd set up? Not sure if anyone else has asked this but it just seems like it would've been so much easier. Also I saw your old video a LOOOOOOONG time ago. AWESOME BUILD MAN!!

Ok, so I'm not dead and I'm gonna be finally starting on this thing again. Its almost like a vendetta at this point.
Its crazy that its been almost two years since I've worked on it. Alot of shit has has happened since then. Got married, had a baby, now I got another on the way. Its rough being a responsible adult.
Finally got it into the garage.

Been playing with other stuff. Just didnt have the space to work on the Escort till I got my garage done. Here are a couple.
The hauler. 2000 7.3. Has swamps 200cc single shot injectors. 5" exhaust. Intake. 6 position TS tuner with custom tune. Swamps fuel system. Swamps IDM. Runs pretty good.

I've always liked your projects. I use to work on cars all the time. Then we had a kid and I went from about 15-20hrs a week fucking around in the garage to about 1 hr a week.

Thanks guys. I got some cool shit in mind for the engine and drivetrain.
Still don't know what I wanna do with the exterior. I can either go stock for that sleeper look or go for some cosworth styling. Something like this.

Leaning towards the sleeper look although if I do that, I won't be able to fit any real rubber under it.
-
I like cosworths. but maybe not full out race style. can you make a sleeper cossi? lol.
-
That cosworth is damn sexy.
-
If I did do a cosworth conversion, it would be low key. That cosworth is badass but not really what I'm looking for in this build.
I just like that I would be able to fit some nice tires under it with the cosworth fenders.
Guess I should just focus on the drivetrain for now.
-
Damn glad you havent quit or parted out the car!
NOW DO WORK! :noel:

Didn't work on the car, but got alot done so I can work on it.
Started building my ghetto $100.00 tig cooler.

Got the cooler done. Works like a :mexi:
Actually started working on the car too. Figured i'd start by finishing the fuel rail I started on 2 years ago.
Turned some mounts in the lathe and got to try out the milling attachment I just got. Works pretty good.

Anyone know where to get a vband flange for the holset housing? Searched around and couldn't really find anything. Might just make one that adapts to 4".
Probably gonna run a 4" downpipe out the side if the bumper :noel:. Eventually like to run 3" all the way back and make it so it's easy to throw on the 4" downpipe at the track or when I wanna be an asshole.

Anyone fuck around with anodizing?
I have a shit pile of AN fittings left over from the Nova build and the old escort. bly everything I need for this build. They are the red/blue ones. I want all the fittings to be black so I was thinking about stripping them and re-anodizing them.
I'm a cheap O0
-
I remember seeing some ghetto rhmt way of anodizing posted up. sure there is a vid on YouTube.

Ya, I've been studying up. Gonna give it a go.

I've been wanting to start anodizing for a few months. The main "secret" tips seem to be not over-anodizing it (won't accept dye), clean & etching it (better dye retention & less bloches), and sealing it via steam instead of submerging. The people that have tested DIY setups claim there is no difference between an adjustable lab PSU and an old PC PSU, just make sure it's 12-15v and can supply enough amps.
Re-anodizing is more complicated, especially for parts with machined tolerances. Stripping can use the same stuff as the etching process, but you need to keep an eye on it. Partially stripped parts obviously won't accept dye in various spots, over-etched may remove too much material.
One interesting thing with it being winter soon, anodizing tends to grow thicker/harder coatings when the bath is a lower temp.
-
Good info. I think I'm gonna try using a battery charger first. Just because I have one.
Didnt get a whole lot accomplished today. I spent most of it running around trying to get my argon bottle filled.
I did get that the gates mounted though.
