Matt's home built z5 turbo thread.

he has wideband suck

 

[Intruder]

What gauge pod is that? Any pics of the gauges mounted?

 

[Intruder]

Does the pod fit well on the a-pillar?

I'm installing a wideband and an emanage and I'm wondering if I should make a gauge pod of that empty stereo slot or mount a pod on the a-pillar (afraid of it being too ricy).

Good luck with the turbo!

Oh and rob car ran for 46 min while I did a leak check. My engne lasted longer than yours
back fired like 10 times also.

bastard. also i have NO signal in dads house

My car runs yay.
My voltage clamp doesn't work though.
the ic piping leaks
I cant mount my bov till monday.
And I still need to figure out the oil return line
My open turbo isn't that loud even in a carport
I managed a 3psi boost.
Not alot to do but fixing lose ends.
Photos should be developed by 8
which means I'll be posting them by 9
I'm pleased.
The turbo spooling is so damn sexy.
Anybody ever hook up a voltage clamp to a second gen?

whats wrong with the drain pipe, plus, what u doign running without the bov , turbo surge will kill the turbo...

as for the voltage clamp, as long as u intercept the first o2 sensor signal wire , might not be the pink/blue on ur car, get a pinout of the ecu... find what wire it is, other than that just adjust it.. btw, once u drive it then u will hear the turbo, turbo really doesnt spool loud until u put a load on the engine.... trust me..

DUDE, i absolutely LOVE this thread. watching this build is amazing.and if yyou had said something to me before about it, i totally would have come down to help you out man. heh. keep it up.

 

[Intruder]

I have the 2nd gen wiring diagrams. Let me know if you need anything.

Didn't the O2 clamp come with an instruction sheet?

 

[Salmon_Rob]

it has a key

 

[Salmon_Rob]

excuses

 

[snowblazin]

Lookin good man, I can appreciate all the hard work you're putting in as I'm doing the same currently. Friggin rain is halting all progress at this point, I'm hoping to go back at it tomorrow. Keep the pics and posts coming, and best of luck getting her up and running! (thumb)

Just saw this thread, very impressive.

 

[Intruder]

Sorry for the delay.

I have the whole wiring diagram book. I've posted a couple of pages here: http://imazda.com/forums/showthread.php?t=303. If that's not enough let me know what else you need and I can scan it.

As for the CF hood, it's just a PS. We had them ordered, and after a year of waiting for them to be done the shop burned down. Actually, the shop that burned down outsourced the hoods, so whatever progress was made is still safe, but we lost communication with the guy and we don't know who was actually making the hoods. At this moment we're basically fuckt but we're hoping the guy is going to be responsible enough to at least give us the actual manufacturer's contact info so we can work with them directly and get our God damned CF hoods.

Damn, I just realized the pics I have in that first link are for the BP ECU. lol ******* Z5's. Tell me what you need and I'll scan it.

 

[Intruder]

Nevermind, got it for you here: http://imazda.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8

BP and Z5 wiring diagrams.

 

[loganss]

Hope your turbo z5 project lasts the test of time once you're done. Are u gonna dyno it once you're done?

 

[Salmon_Rob]

get on aim homo

 

[Intruder]

How did you manage to fry the ECU?

Don't forget to take pics of the oil pan.

 

[Intruder]

You're an early bird.

Did you find anything at the J/Y?

 

[Intruder]

Cool. Good luck.

And yes, you do learn a lot when doing all the work. I learned the same way.

how is having 100 whp treatin ya
