It's Christmas, and I'm packing all my sisters shit sense she is moving half way across the country. No time for the car. We have a 28" semi trailer in the driveway and 8-12" of snow coming down.

LAME!!!!

yeah they hook up 2 of them, it's way cheaper on our end, as they can't mix other orders in with our stuff. but $1000-1200 for 5 day delivery to Charlotte, NC not bad.

Well here is my little update.

Obd 0 d16a6 intake manifold that i clean up the ports on and polished the throttle plate. I cleaned it and assembled with my 680cc injectors.

TPS removed from old IM and added with SS hardware.

Here is the turbo outlet that i welded up. I made the 3 bolt flange and used an outlet tube of a 1g dsm smic. (btw hardest thing i ever welded as it was 3/8 plate to 16g with no room to spare for the bolts)

here is the srt4 intercooler core i made new end tanks for. It has 2" outlets and mounts to the radiator support. still fits the oem power steering cooler.

Here is a little shot of the welds.

As far as i got on the engine before i screwed up a oil control ring. I'm retarded.

might be a stupid question but are the arrows supposed to face the back of the engine with vitaras?

turbob16hatch · « **Reply #37 on:** December 31, 2009, 01:26:34 PM »

I always heard the vitara's spun backwards and thats the way it's done properly.

mine point toward the rear as well. do some searching and you might learn something useful

Yes.

Pin offset is correct for Honduhs this way, and keeps them from souding like a diesel.

I read that on the internet somewhere....

True but either way it will work, it will just sound louder the other way.

So now that you're back home, when you are going to finish this pile?

turbob16hatch · « **Reply #44 on:** February 20, 2010, 05:47:15 PM »

Well not much of an update on the car itself but i did find my turbo i will be running on the "summer" turbo kit. My long search is over for the little guy.

Stock 300zx T3 60 trim, stg1 turbine .63 a/r housing.

I'm still unsure if i'm going to run the .48 a/r or the .63 a/r hot side. Goal here is for a nice fat powerband with a 7000-7200 rpm redline.

Before this goes on the car i will rebuild it and get it all cleaned up. Also i will get a wet center housing to add some longevity.

I'm building it a/c compatable. I removed my a/c as it had a leak and stopped working mid summer. I will get it back in this summer and get the p/s cooler replaced with a more conventional "radiator" style core that will replace the heat sink tube thing thats in the way.

any updates nog. looks like a fun dd, i need to get my crx done so i can stop driving my pos subaru wagon. i ran one of those Nissan turbos on my old integra. looks like a fun setup

turbob16hatch · « **Reply #51 on:** March 06, 2010, 06:49:02 AM »

No i have some work stuff i'm needing to finish first. So it's going to be a bit before i update it.

turbob16hatch · « **Reply #52 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:14:46 PM »

well i forgot my camera so no pictures. But i got the bottom end assembled and now i just need to get the acc. bolted up and it is ready to drop in.

All in all it went together fine, even though i was quite nervous.

ApexSilver06MR · « **Reply #53 on:** April 13, 2010, 09:15:20 PM »

my vitaras pointed towards the t-belt. didnt sound like a diesel. honestly, it sounded stock even with super sloppy p2w

I did a right up on oHMT about the how the arrows on vitaras should face the flywheel because of the pin offset.
If you look up a vitara pdf the arrows should point to there crank pully which is on the left side of the engine.
vitata clockwise
d16 counter clock.

I like your build BTW, the mani got my pants all tight.

I used to have one, i decided to go back to the old school a6 one. Has nothing to do with performance i just thought it fit the car better.

Paint that IC black

You get your LS rods modified at a machine shop local to you?

You know i had thought about painting it, but I'm unsure if it will just chip and look like shit it a week. Any experience with them painted?

Yes, there is a really laid back machine shop in town that builds all the dirt track car engines (just don't expect anything to be done a few months before racing starts). It was $140 out the door for them.
