new turbo installed

[joka1]

My car is alive again!!!

well my car has been broken and in ruins for 6 mths and this thread is about it coming back together.
STEP 1: NEW TURBO
it is a T3/T04 ball bearing turbo with a .57 trim. this turbo is apx 1 in bigger comp housing and the ex housing is offset diffrent then my garrett t3/t4 making installation a bit of a pain. But i got it on with the exception of the intake pipe which i am waiting on a 3-3" turbo techniques.

more pics to follow

WoW dude! thats nice!!! Did you run it yet? What kind of numbers do u expect? how many pounds are you running? I cant wait to see more pics!!! Keep us posted

 

[joka1]

well i got it started, it runs, i have not driven it yet due to the fact i need to do an oil change this afternoon and get 1 new clamp for my oil return line and tighten a small exhaust leak but all in all it seems fine. my egt's are high at idle i think. they are like 600 and i dont know what it was before because i didnt have a guage(any comments on this will help). so now it is back to tuning my mpi........
plus my interior is all back together and i will take pics later

I assume you're talking celsius? That's 1100*F at idle. That's fine.

no that is farenheight(sp) but i am running pig rich at the moment....

STEP 2: INTERIOR FIXED
here are a few of the interior.... yes it is dirty but you get the point...... the center radio surround is now smooth and the emergency flasher is taken out and the hole is smooth but you cant tell that due to the screen..... also that is where the nx bottle is going but i have not secured it their yet.... i have to run the nx line tonight.......

 

[robp5t]

I run about 600 to 700 at idle and about 1100 to 1200 at full my ar is around 11.5 to 12 so still a little rich

 

[joka1]

right on so i am not that far off..... one last pic.....this one shows the sides smoothed pretty good

 

[ChopstickHero]

did you paint your avx-7300dvd?

 

[joka1]

yes i did paint it black, it was a b**** but it worked........ i dont recomend anybody doing it because you have to take everything apart....

STEP 3: FINISH STEREO
well my stereo is almost done, i juat have to wait for my new power wire and speaker wire plus 2 new amps to get here. plus i will carpet it black on wed.

 

[chaosProtege]

looks good, dude. i'm not into the interior paint, but nice job on keeping it smooth and whatnot. crazy stereo! (crazy) and turbo!

 

[Brian MP5T]

Nice to see the progress...

 

[joka1]

well the weather held me off from doing my oil change today since i dont have a garage but i have been loading my mpi sofware onto a new laptop and researching the software more all day so i will be ready to tune once the car is running. it is defiently nice to have everything coming together finially since my car has been broke and ripped apart for a few mths awaiting parts and money.
thanks for the comments.

well i got my oil changed/led undercar kit installed/and nitrous line half way routed. so after work at 8 am i will throw a filter on my turbo and then finially drive a little. plus the stereo ports and sealed in and everything is firmly installed awaiting 0 guage pwr wire and 10ga speaker wire plus a 50 faraht(sp?) cap which are in the mail........ anyway everything looks the same except for the led's so here is a pic of them during dusk on constant. they are cool because they have a remote and alot of diffrent variations of patterns.

anyway here are some pic's of that

nice seat belt harnesses. did u get that issue resolved of it being too high? peace

 

[DE31]

can anyone send me the link to the thread where they say why its bad to have it too high. i can understand why its bad to have it bolted to the floor but i cant really imagine why its bad when its too high.

 

[joka1]

just check my harness bar thread, i started it so the search is easy. no it is not resolved yet, i have been working on getting my car running and have not had a weekend to make a new bar yet... once the car runs good and i can drive it (not trailer it) to my friends shop i will have a new harness bar. until then this one will have to do
