tyson87's build
 

i know this thread is premature, but i keep getting all these presents in the mail.
first i wanna say thanks to:
brain (scott)
lev (phil)
splittime (dave)
dpexp (dan)
loustsoul (andrew)

THANKS for answering my dumbass questions!!!
but here is what i ordered
begi china 2854
begi cast mani
begi ss sg dp
lc1
knockoff type rs
ms built by brain
intercooler from cxracing

plan to reroute the coolant upgrade clutch, flywheel, rearend

i dont plan on going over 10psi until i save up enough money to do an engine build.


so i will start with a pic of somethings i got today and yesterday.

i bought an acer aspire one from radio shack for 80$ to tune with.
knock off type rs bov came in today looks nice, oh what mods do i need to do to the bov, i read that some of u guys take out a spring, but i havent had a chance to pull it apart yet.
lc1, sensor and gauge came yesterday.
charge pipes from columbia river came yesterday, i f'ed up and forgot a pipe so i had to place a whole nother order just for one pipe. $27 for a 90* bend geez.
megasquirt from brain came yesterday, for those of u that arent squirting, when ur ready, talk to him, fast shipping great guy.

i think thats everything.

Looking good so far Tyson. I need to pick up one of those tiny laptops soon. Do I see a PnP harness in the box still??

wheres waldo.


yes thats it, a few other odds and ends need to be done before turbo is put on. but ill make sure to update this thread.

the build!

nice :bigtu: all these build threads are making me anxious for my kit to arrive.

You know, every time I've seen or met Phil, he's wearing a red shirt :laugh:

Glad to see you got everything in time for the weekend, what was the deal with the downpipe? Did you end up getting ahold of the guy or going over to his house to get it? :facepalm:

Let me know how that knock off BOV holds up.


Oh yeah, needs wire tuck

+1...cool build though!! Looks like you guys jammed your way right through that one! I think I'm kinda getting envious of Phil"s color scheme...

I got a shout out!

YEAH RIGHT!!! i wish it was that quick
ask them, im sure they dont want to see my car for a loooooong time.


ofcourse u did ;)
u and the others helped me out A LOT!

Geezus, Phil was whipped with the ugly stick.

this is exactly why I don't like pictures of myself posted. plus you see me on subway commercials all the time.

I don't need anyone on the interweb to know I am as nasty looking as my posts read.

you guys really know how to boost someones ego...

so i need a clutch, decided to go with FM stage 1, i hope that after this goes in my 1.6 diff doesnt break...
also my WG flapper was hitting the DP flange and not opening all the way so i called corky and his idea was to run a second flange as a spacer... so i am in the process of putting that in while my car is parked.

That thing is a time bomb, I'd start planning to upgrade the diff ASAP.

yeah i am saving up for a new one. what do you guys think is a fair price for a complete swap?

on a sidenote, i ordered some slim fans today to start cleaning up the engine bay.
does anyone know if the standalone MS can handle the fans running if i wire them together?

sucks that FM is closed today i need that clutch. i hope i get everything done intime for the dyno day.

The fans would be ran through a relay. The fan current doesn't go through the MS, it just controls the control side of the relay.

ok so ur saying i dont need to change anything other than the wiring between the 2 fans. no special action is required due to MS?

all the MS does is activate the stock fan relay. it would be the relay that would burn out if there was too much power drawn from it. but in my experience there shouldn't be any issues with two fans.

ok, sounds good.

scott, any light on that TPS problem??

Ok, the coolant lines have to be re-routed. Forgive me for saying it, but it looks ugly. On the coolant line near the frame, move the 90 fitting to the distribution block and the straight fitting at the turbo. Route the oil supply line by the engine block and not the firewall. I will also send you a another 90 to use on the other coolant line to run it downward. See the pictures below. :)

BEGI customer service for you, top of the line.

thanks steph,
i will try to run the lines a different way.

so i will have all my parts on the 3rd...
dyno is on the 6th...
itll be close so i hope everything things go together with out any problems...

Nice looking setup! Hope you guys have had more luck with the LC-1 than I have. :laugh:

whats wrong with ur LC1??
i thought it was a pretty easy install. just follow the directions.

im thinking about doing this same build. if you dont mind me asking, how much do you think you've invested so far? i plan on doing the install myself not a shop like you did.
thanks

did you even look at his pictures!? Those ugly cubans were in a garage, not a shop.

... now that i am experienced ...





(phil are u trying to have the world record for most turbo installs?)

I dont mind being another notch in the belt in that case.




I have to return and exchange some crap, once Im done with that Ill check up on you guys for availability.

what do u have to return/exchange?
where is ur build/parts thread?

I havent start a thread yet. I have to return the MS to braineack exchange the wastegate bracket, also Im missing IC piping which Im sorting out with the vendor. However Im gonna be out of the country for about a week so Ill let you guys know Im back and ready.

Working on other people's cars is more fun. If something goes wrong I still get to drive mine home. :fawk:

Im in. Whos next?

Thats fucked up ... either way I have a greater chance of F-ing something up than any of you that already went through some builts already

I feel like an ass because people help me a lot and I never go out of my way to help them...lolz. maybe they dont NEED the help like i do i guess.

what pipe do you need? phil ghetto rigged my bracket also. did you get all the fittings u need for the oil/water? piece everything together to make sure it all fits/works.


atleast you guys stuck it out for me through the whole thing.


bring those special tools that you and phil fabbed up. :)




since fabian isn't coming who is going to be the gopher????

you helped me get this really cool avatar.

I can do better...

I received the wrong set of pipes, Im doing Ebay piping and iC. As far as lines Im getting the set from Begi which includes fittings, and hoses.

BEGi

BEGi

I tried custom make them through ATPturbo.com (I dont know of another site) and they come out to be a bit more expensive than the one from begi.

Im getting the coolant fitting that you sent me. Also once I get the IC pipes sorted out I have to find a place so I can have the bung for AIT sensor welded on as well as the BOV flange. Thats why I said give me about 3-4 weeks to sort everything out and then I check up on you guys' schedules.

BTW whats a gopher??

Tyson, I think I have the same BOV you bought. Can you post a pic of where you placed it??

Gopher= someone who stands around to hand you this/that and make multiple runs to the store.

It's a very valuable position.

I'm only doing this because it's two of you in a row.

motherfuckers, it's YOU'RE. you are.

your is the posessive second person pronoun. your car belongs to you.

your slow does not belong to you. no matter how slow you are.
your having does not belong to you. no matter how much you have.
