LinuxRacr's 2013 - 2014 New Build Thread

[hornsfan10609]

I couldn't fit the Mishi fans/shroud with my mishi rad and stock T25 but my piping runs closer to the rad not back towards the turbo.

I'll see if I can get a better picture of the clearance, but it barely fits with this bigger turbo.

This showed up today:

Precision PTE CEA 5130 clearance with Mishimoto Radiatior and Fan Shroud

I'll see if I can get a better picture of the clearance, but it barely fits with this bigger turbo.

For those that were wondering:

Did you try re-clocking the turbo to mitigate any clearance issues?

 

[Keno1542]

Does the turbo not hit with engine movement? Or are your engine mounts that stiff?

 

[LinuxRacr]

Turbo does not hit. I also have AWR mounts all around.

In other news, after getting the transaxle opened, I believe I found my issue: Looks like the locking nuts came loose...... One of the nuts spinning almost cut through the black end cap!

 

[hornsfan10609]

Wow that's crazy! Did you use new nuts last time? I could have clocked my turbo but the wastegate only has holes for the stock location so I would have had to drill and tap new holes and didn't feel like going through the trouble. Just wanted to have the car back together.

 

[LinuxRacr]

I don't remember if "deez nuts" were the ones used last time, or if they were new. This was over a year ago. Let me check the pictures.

EDIT: It looks like sadly, I reused the old ones.

Stock 5th Gears on top, vs new MFactor 5th Gears on the bottom:




Stock on the Left, MFactory on the right:

Damn, those gears look sick! Good thing you got the trans apart before something catastrophic happened.

 

[LinuxRacr]

A couple of things:

1. All my pictures are gone! Thanks photobucket....

2. I still have my MP3.

3. I need to get off my ass and put that build transaxle back in the car that has been sitting for over 2 years!

 

[Alamo1]

Haha! Super resurrection bump!! Sorry about the pics. Flickr hasn't done it to me..... yet...

I'm in the same boat, except I broke my trans last spring and it's been sitting since. Good on ya for getting her back on the road.

 

[bwalt]

Yup photobucket sure shat the bed.. Glad to hear you still have the car, hope to see some action soon!!

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

Woo! Get it

 

[Keno1542]

Photobucket gave plenty of warning they were going to be doing what they did, going to a paid service.

 

[LinuxRacr]

And my pictures are back today!

How's the WHIP?

 

[LinuxRacr]

Still in the garage. I have a 2020 3.5L Acura TLX A-Spec for my daily driver, so I haven't been in much of a rush to put it back together. I've contemplated selling the MP3.
