I've been on old hmt for about 5 years, my name was turborolla94, b/c back in the day thats what my project was going to be..but i didn't even have my permit then  I never posted much, just lurked and read up on everything i could. I'm 19 now, and i think I've read enough to start my build. I'm currently building a hmt kit for my protege5, and no, its not like brianmp5t's car..lets just leave that subject alone.

I've been working with my dad at his machine shop for about 4 years, and I've learned a lot of shit from my old man. here's some pics of where I work and the equipment..

the shop







homemade anodizing kit off of craigslist..300 bucks  :yes:





and the welders



and my favorite..its from the 70's or 80's..high frequency 



here's a shitty pic of my tig welding on stainless



and here are some of the parts that I've made..we mostly do work for textile companies like WIX and A&E..and the white plastic pieces tear the feathers off of chickens  ;D








And now for the ride..now don't make fun of it..I'm not afraid to admit that the shit is slow..and even with a turbo kit..its still going to be slow. I dont really care because I'm not building the kit for speed or hp, its just for personal satisfaction to say that I built my own turbo kit. I'm aiming for about 180 hp, just to start out so i know my engine won't blow up. My buddy backed into the front of it, hence the bent hood and cracked grill..and bumper.

*edit* the red shit in the engine bay came with the car..that was not my doing





I built my own exhaust using 2.5" stainless pipe..and a resonator..no muffler  it actually sounds very good..its loud when i want it and quiet when it needs to be..overall im happy with it. It cost me about 150 bucks.

whitey bends 







being painted..







I have about 90% of the parts collected for the turbo kit..heres the turbo that I'll be using..its an ihi ball bearing turbo with subi flanges..its about the equivalent of a mitsubishi 16g turbo..and i would go bigger but i got it for 100 bucks and i couldn't pass it up. It's a replacement for a t25, if you haven't noticed by the compressor side of the turbo. It will spool up quick..which isn't what i want, but its a start. hopefully I'll be building the engine and getting a t3/60-1 or something around that..but thats all in the air for a couple years. The intercooler is a trust intercooler off of an eclipse..1200 msrp..40 dollars it was wrecked and had some holes..but i got those welded up and it holds pressure fine. It's fucking huge..and i dont know if i'll be using it or not. Hopefully in the next month or so I'll be posting up a build thread..but this will do for now.



enjoy

No painted dash,BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[brine04]

Wow dude I would kill people to have access to the equipment you do. Good luck and keep us posted.

[ryan89crx]

you're missing the most important part of your intro post...

 

[ratcityrex]

looks like you have all the tools you need to do this. Now get to work already and get it done.

[blackoutmp5]

[dvst8r]

WELL DONE! Finally a noob that gets it right. 

[Robb]

I remember you from ohmt.  Good noob post. 


Like Chris said, murder for your shop.  I could do some serious damage with equipment like that at my disposal.

One thing to point out, if you leave the porn hosted on photobucket it is going to disappear shortly.

[E-b0la]

HURCO! haha we have and old vertical HURCO at the community college near me.


How do you guys like those JET mills? We have a JET lathe at my college, never really used it but I've heard they're supposed to be a pretty nice machine.

[DRQPQUT]

I honestly don't know any other hosting sites..so i guess you better save the pics while you can  

∞ x better than MP5T.

How much for you to make a set of rods for me out of 4340?   :yes:

haha we mostly do textile stuff..i dont know if I'm up for the challenge for rods. I'm only working part time now that I'm back at school so I dont know if I could do that for you..sorry bud.

the hurco is a beast..its a 3-axis, but it can do some crazy shit..as for the jet mills, my dad has had those for probably 10 years now, they run like a champ.

anyone that remembers whitey bends on a re-intro post is just swell in my book

[ryan89crx]

NOW its a good intro post  :yes:

[Conceptz-X]

If you produce fail with such equipment on hand, expect to recieve hell !!!

[blackoutmp5]

I'll try not to, but since my car is the only transportation to and from work, I have to make sure i have absolutely everything before i start on it..so it might be a month or two..but it will get done. I've blown all of my money i made this summer on parts..so its going to happen lol

[Lowerit]

I think the fact that he does it himself instead of getting someone else to do it , works in his old mans shop and posts quality womens is a win over and over..

Where the fuck did the porn go... I want lexi belle back

[glustic]

Nice. I like the fact that you know how to do machine work. The porn could be better... I like to see nekked womens not clothed ones... The other pics arent working. Make sure you remove all that red shit in your engine bay...
