ATP Turbo upgrade install with lots of pics!

[chriscecc914]

yea it is a pain in the ass. But I drilled the 4 holes on the manifold that bolt up to the turbo a bit larger and it went in very smooth

the problems we had was with the bolts that hold it to the block!

thats wierd, i did let mine soak in some wd40 before doing my install. But did you bolt the manifold to the block first and then to the turbo or the other way around. I think its easier if you let the turbo sit unbolted under the manifold while u bolt the manifold to the block and then the turbo to the manifold.

We Tried So Many Different Ways I Dont Remember How We Got It Right!

I found it easiest to.....

Well first I always tap the bolt holes again as they seem to get rust covered and a b**** to get the turbo to line up.

But I drop the turbo in and hook up lines. Then thread the manifold on the block very loosely. Bolt turbo to the manifold, then tighten all the manifold nuts up.

ok im thinking of going with the Dnp manifold for this turbo upgrade.. i know the stock one has that flex pipe but the stock one is also a b**** to get out.. i figured if i bought the other manifold i could cut the stock one and make it easier to get at the bolts that are on the block without climbing on the motor.??

just a thought of course.

what wheels are those??

^^^ that would be the work emotion XD-9

Blown, lol...

 

[MS6mike]

but for the best off all you will see!

I'm jealous my MSp on has GT25 its to small what rpm does that 3071 spool up at on the speed6

I did the manifold install with a 14mm ratcheting wrench and socket. Didn't have to climb on anything.

yes bro the car its going for single digits 1/4 miles times! i am finding how to put a regular 2.3 engine in there and fully build it to the max. hoping for 700 whp but that will be like a hihg 10's pass. cont know how to pushe the car over the 1000hp mark.
maybe a 2jz?






























LOL JK about the 2js~

 

[jbspeed6]

2.3L Evo's are hitting the 1000whp mark, so there is not reason we can't too. It would take a new block but we would still have 1 more injector if you install port injection.

You should go for it, Mike .

 

[MS6mike]

i am going for it!

 

[chriscecc914]

yea we would need a cast iron block or some sleeves to do it but it doesnt look like sleeves would be easy on this motor if you take a close look.

 

[suffolkspeed6]

did u have to remove the exhaust manifold to get the stock k04 out or no and what turbo did u go with

ok here are some more pics.

Can I ask what type of wheels these are? I have to have them! (2thumbs)

Thanks!
