so gonna max somethin out at dyno day? weather it be map,fuel or turbo

ratcityrex · « **Reply #91 on:** April 01, 2012, 09:03:06 PM »

Yeah, as long as I can get the nig nog to take a look at my map b4 I hop on the dyno and rape it. I think the weakest link is gona be the clutch. Which is a LSD motorsports dragged clutch and its suppose to hold 332tq, which will equal more power than ill probably be use to....lol but I'm ready for. I thought a couple years ago that the clutch wasn't gona hold up but it took the abuse just fine. Was probably pretty close to that mark with the ls. It was at 290tq at the wheels so who knows what is was at the crank.

Fuck the Easter bunny! I punched that sucker in the mouth and took his candy and his eggs! So I did some work on the car eating candy and ripping egg farts while under the car.

So another time consuming day was had welding up exhaust. But its all done!
The stock obd0 4into1 constructing header.

Old turbo and old downpipe with the new turbo next to it.

A little side by side action

All mounted up and ready to bolt it up for some mock up action.

So it wouldn't fit with the compressor housing on because I have to cut the wastegate tabs off the turbo due to it hitting the power steering pump bracket. So I just left the exhaust housing mounted to the splog and pulled the rest of the turbo off. Also looks like I need to cut the vband off because with it on it would have ran it my slave pretty bad I thing.

So off to the chop saw!

Same goes for the old downpipe, cut the flange off and thten went to fit it up and see how close I was.

What do u know, fucker fits perfect!

My 16 year old brother was on spring break from school so he came over from Seattle to help out with some of the work that's just to much for one set of hands like holding exhaust in place while I tac weld it. Here he is cleaning up a couple spots on the downpipe flange.

So I ordered up some China 3" exhaust for 115 shipped. Not to bad but man this shit is pretty thin. Gona cut the end off and add a resonator from my old crx exhaust to try and quiet it down as much as I can. Probably end up adding a magnaflow muffler later and getting rid of the cheap China n1 muffler. Looks to ricey for me.

Over all the exhaust fit ok, now I need to bend a few heat shields here and there, but better than mocking up from scratch. So I will say that this pipe smells very bad when up cut and when u weld it. I have no idea why, but maybe its something to do with that Chinaman oils or something. Anyways it all welded up and here is the final shot. Now its time to do the cold side charge pipe. Probably knock that out tomorrow.

Also took out the stupid short shifter that was in the car. The fuck stick that had it b4 me decided it needed to be a real short shifter and cut about 3" off the top of the shifter and rethreaded it. Nothing lime grabbing the fucker right at the console to try and ahift. Now I have a factory gsr duel bend shifter in there. It's like fucking butter. I love it! Thanks dustin for the hookup. Should have done it along time ago.

lookin good bro

ratcityrex · « **Reply #95 on:** April 11, 2012, 11:30:49 AM »

Thanks mang. Pretty pumped about my $15 hf 220mig. Scored it at a yard sale. Guy didn't jnow if it worked because the plug end was cut off. I also scored a tank for it for $20 and got a Plx for the end of it for $5 so all in all I'm into this welder about $100 with gauges, new tips and a full tank with a new spool of wire. Finally got all my settings dialed in and now I can lay some pretty nice weld with this thing. Gona knock out my cold side charge pipe today.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #96 on:** April 11, 2012, 10:15:55 PM »

Well got the wastegate mount tabs ground off
B4

After

Also got the cold side charge pipe knocked out.
Old crx charge pipe

DO WORK!!!

How much does it cost to build your charge pipe? I don't know if I should build one or buy one already made for my car on ebay and mod it.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #99 on:** April 12, 2012, 08:15:37 AM »

I already had the bends, so it was free. I got the bends for free as well. Adam from Columbia River mand, hooked it up last year at the dyno day with some free shit.

Teg2boo · « **Reply #100 on:** April 12, 2012, 08:23:35 AM »

Ok lol free stuff helps a lot

crxvtec91 · « **Reply #101 on:** April 12, 2012, 09:51:11 AM »

Oh yea looking good!

ratcityrex · « **Reply #102 on:** April 12, 2012, 11:06:09 AM »

So todays plans are to clean up the charge pipe, check over my welds and test the pipe for any leaks. Then paint it and start work on my wastegate dump tube.

Eggylshatch · « **Reply #103 on:** April 13, 2012, 07:19:22 PM »

What you doing with your old turbo?

ratcityrex · « **Reply #104 on:** April 13, 2012, 07:56:50 PM »

Gona use the old turbo as a paper weight.

jdmhatchracer94 · « **Reply #105 on:** April 13, 2012, 10:30:41 PM »

good choice

ratcityrex · « **Reply #106 on:** April 15, 2012, 11:39:37 AM »

Well nigs, its boosted, kinda....... Need to fix oil return, and feed, best to try and squeeze a air filter in there somehow, paint up charge pipes, fix exhaust leaks, put my pusher radiator fan on, this is a worthless post without pictures, so FUCK YOU!

jdmhatchracer94 · « **Reply #107 on:** April 15, 2012, 12:33:21 PM »

ya it is what the fuck.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #108 on:** April 15, 2012, 09:21:00 PM »

Well the fal fan I for don't work. Fuck my life! Time to try and wrangle one up.

jdmhatchracer94 · « **Reply #109 on:** April 15, 2012, 10:24:18 PM »

The one I run is a proform or some shi from summit $45 I think

ratcityrex · « **Reply #110 on:** April 16, 2012, 01:46:10 AM »

Well I'm gonna be using a pusher fan. Found a new curved blade 13" pusher spal fan for $115 shipped. Says I need to use a 40amp relay, and it moves something like 1700cfm. Sounds like it should do the job.

So I did a little measuring and the 13 won't fit, so I got the 12". Gona try and put my 10" on the back side too.

Well, got in my new spal 12" pusher fan. Unfortunately it won't fit on my half core and still fit in my car. The new motor that is on this thing is massive. So I checked to see if my stock full sized radiator will fit. It does but just barely. The compressor housing is about 1/8" away. So I moved my radiator mount back over to where it probably was. Also had to trim my power steering lines so I could get a filter on my turbo. Otherwise I would have to get a short body filter, and I wasn't about to spend more money on it.

So Sunday I'm putting the rad in and I have to wire up my fans with relays and fuses. So I'm running a 12and a 10" pusher fan on a full sized radiator. So I don't think I should have any cooling problems at all.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #115 on:** April 23, 2012, 03:31:54 PM »

So since my brother in law was rushing me to get the shit on last week I spent 3 hours fixing the shit that would have only taken another 30 min the first time. But I now have my feed line ran properly, to where its not rubbing on shit, Also dot have nigger rigged fittings on the back of my sandwich plate to hook up my feed line. Also got my return line from the turbo fixed so I don't have 5/8" line shoved onto my 3/4" fittings. Also got my wires and relays for the fans all done except for just a couple of connections. Got to see what wire is the 12v on the stock fan plug so I trip the relays, then drop in the radiator and make a couple of tabs to hold the top of the rad from flopping around. So thats todays plans. Ill post pics later once im done.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #117 on:** April 24, 2012, 12:38:40 AM »

Fuck my mother fucking life!

Got the fans rocking, put the overflow line on and the fucker broke off. So look like tomorrow I'm going to the auto parts store to get a new radiator.

jabberwock · « **Reply #118 on:** April 24, 2012, 12:44:23 AM »

That's shitty... tap it for npt?

HiProfile · « **Reply #119 on:** April 24, 2012, 02:58:26 AM »

Why get a new rad? That port sees ZERO pressure, and maybe the slightest amount of vacuum (when rad cools and sucks in overflow). A bit of JB weld and a softer hose will fix it til you get a better rad. I'd do that and order an ebay special.
