Go look in your local phone book for hydraulic shops, then call them up and you can probably find one that can make lines for you.

It's gonna cost you about $40 if you don't have any of this stuff already, but you can basically pick it all up on the way home from work...

Thanks man. I've got most of it, need to grab the carbide cutter from HD racing

wackbards 03-31-2017 08:42 AM

I recommend a rounded tip cutter like the one I linked to. The Prussian blue is handy for determining exactly where the waste gate flap is making contact.

Quick question- anyone know which fittings I need to get the t3 working with this oil line? I already have an m10 x1.5 to 4an for the block.....RACING TURBO UPGRADE OIL COOLING FEED LINE 36" T3 T4 T04E T70 T60 MIATA RX7 RX8 | eBay

I also have the flange that bolts to the feed side of turbo

mr steve 09-07-2017 02:53 PM

That downpipe works pretty good! Almost ready to tune.... I guess I'm waiting til after the storm.

It was an ebay listing called:
For Turbo Charger T3 Internal wastegate COM.42 A/R 45 Trim.48A/R

But that is no longer active.

In other news this blew a head gasket on the first ride, some pics:

Porting just the hole didn't do the trick, you will need to do a lot of porting of hole and make a valley to the hole. What I ended up with was sort of like this but without the deep valley near the flange.

here is a pic of the car almost finished. it made around 250 on the virtual dyno at 15psi boost creeping. I will see what I can do now with the ebc hooked up...no more power but a lot more midrange

I still need to work on the undertray and get the slicks mounted for an event this weekend.

borka 11-29-2017 05:30 PM

250 is impressive for a stock 1.6 with ebay everything.

running megasquirt? what injectors?

mr steve 12-02-2017 04:35 PM

Megasquirt, 670cc injectors, 212KPA. It has an open downpipe that I cut right to about 15"

I have since dialed the boost back to 175kpa

mr steve 12-02-2017 04:38 PM

I got a steal on these rims and mounted some used SM7's on there for now to learn the car. Will probably go with A7's or the RS4's eventually depending on whether I really want to switch wheels at events.
