Protge321's Turbo Build

[protege321]

damn 650.. im going to order the ebay kit tmorrow. hopefully that will work out.

 

[protege321]

decided to go with the hks lol. weld-on flange came in, picked up a sandwhich plate and oil pressure gauge on the forums. intercooler and piping should come in soon also. (thumb)

good luck man. i just got mine running again last night and im still working out some issues but its a ton faster with the smaller garrett!

also if you got the cheap weld on flange theyre a PITA to weld lol...i made my grandpa tig it and he was like "im never welding anything for you again LOL"

Sweetness


I miss driving mine already and it hasn't even been a week

 

[mp3-79bronco]

mine was gone for 6 weeks....so ya lol. im definitely cranking it up to like 9 psi...6 isnt enough. 1st and 2nd pin you to the seat but 3rd and up are lacking. still quick though..

the main reason is because it went into limp mode again because of a damn bank 1 too lean code....(DP leak)

 

[protege321]

it was really cheap (unamused) damnit. im taking it to a shop anyway. i wish i knew someone that could weld for me, the intercooler piping is going to be pretty custom..

6 weeks? what happen?

 

[mp3-79bronco]

hydrolocked the motor and had a rental car so i took my time doing it right and waiting on parts

 

[protege321]

oh damn that sucks. do your glowshift gauges rattle?

 

[mp3-79bronco]

no

 

[protege321]

i was going to get all glowshift gauges but my tach from them rattles like crazy, its annoying.

 

[mp3-79bronco]

i dont like mine. im gonna switch when i get some money. the boost guage doesnt sit at zero and neither does the oil pressure..plus they look cheap compared to my aem wideband

 

[protege321]

im going with prosport green/white. glowshift is crap.

 

[protege321]

can anyone tell me what size the brake booster vacuum line is? 3/8?

 

[KZL_99ES]

it should be, why? uh-oh, what did you do?! lol

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Mind you, there is a check valve in the Booster line

 

[protege321]

just trying figure out was size barb i need for the vacuum block (cabpatch) i like planning.

check valve?

 

[protege321]

is there any other way to bolt the s-pipe to the j-pipe without using the s-pipe studs? mine is missing 2..

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Just buy studs, I got mine from auto zone. 10x1.25 or 10x1.50

 

[xDJ DUBx]
