Man, I haven't had a single gay guy hit on me since I installed the turbo... I don't know if it made me less sexy or less obvious. My wife is pleased either way.

Click on the picture (YouTube) Downloadable version (26.7 megabytes) There are 170 miles on this turbo install and nothing has gone wrong. 'Home Depot' couplers included. |
26.7 mb? damn, you gotta warn a brother about that kinda shit.

His actions were well calculated.

After some of the "tech" you have brought to the forum recently, you better think twice about a statement like that. I know guys who have STi's and FD's and a bunch of cheaper shit, DIY turbo honda's and such, and none of us have rich parents or are starving ourselves. and if these same people blow up their engines tomorrow they are gonna take food of their plates to fix it right? Sorry man, I don't think that way. :fawk: |

Saml01- Nope, its not the best thing. I SAID WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A DUMP TUBE LONG AGO. I SAID WE ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE COUPLERS LONG AGO. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO? Your all basically right, just need to chill out with the attempted pwnage. |

I am still curious why you modified the original housing though.
Found a pic of what it looked like originally. You can see the wimpy little passage that the wastegate'd exhaust connected to the downpipe through. Having this exhaust create pressure just behind the turbine is no good for top end power. http://homepage.mac.com/gavinwilliam...f/EPSN0004.jpg Here are some pics from an HMT meet a while back. http://homepage.mac.com/gavinwilliams/HMT/HMT.html At the previous meet we turbo'd my friend Jeremy's 2000 civic. At this one we installed the tubular manifold. He ran that external wastegate open for nearly the entire time he had the car (bout two years of near daily driving on it). http://homepage.mac.com/gavinwilliam...mbnails/20.jpg Do you guys have the balls to turbo a car in an afternoon, 100+ miles from home? I sure don't, these days :) |

it's quick

Yessir. Thats my album.
It is an SR20 swap youre right, I ran up to him while he was lining up, shook his hand and told him to win one for all of us. I went to that guys pit area twice during the whole day and but he was not there so I couldnt talk to him. Snooped around his car, took some pics, and left. I wanted to open his hood, but didnt want to have to deal with shit if someone from another team saw me doing it. Edit: Im a tool, i should left a note for him to join the forum. |
Stage II Clutch
Finished installing this Spec Stage II clutch the day before my most recent autocross
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3207/...b13dc200_o.jpg My girlfriend broke it in for me ;) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3294/...a9390f4d_o.jpg Unfortunately I was asked to leave the autocross after four runs because I had an open exhaust (which many other people managed to get away with...) I did replace those "Home Depot" couplers (although nothing went wrong with them at all for 400+ miles) with real ones. And yes, I drove to the autocross (45 minutes each way) with that wastegate dumping into the engine bay. And I encountered zero problems! |
waiting on "i melted something under my hood because im a dumbass and i vent exhaust gases under my hood" thread.

Welcome to the board. Good job sticking with it. You got knocked around some and came through OK.
Nice Ghetto build. You've done a lot and have a lot left to do or improve on. Go back through all the BS, there is actually plenty of good advice there. The reason so many here point out your failures and potential points of failure is they have lived through them themselves. There is some good advice there coming from experienced builders, it's just disquised as bashing. Keep at it and keep improving it. Wastegate vta and LC1 would be priorities for me. Intake position and improving the quality of the piping/ connectors would be 2nd. |
DUDEEEE...
We have the same turbo. Except mine has a BOV molded into the compressor houseing. Welding the wastegate-exhaust passage and running a dump pipe is a really good idea. I just might have to do that this summer!! Thanks for the idea! Oh hey, when do you get full spool? |
Nice to see that people have chilled out on the guy, finally.
