Just finished up the turbo kit this past weekend!

Co-o-o-o-ol!!! It fits pretty nicely in there. But I see no alternator????

dts300z · April 15th, 2008, 01:46 PM

you can't see it from any of those angles... lol what are the chances

rustorbust · April 15th, 2008, 05:49 PM

Is that a t70, have you done anything else to the motor. Let us know how it runs?

DavyZ · April 15th, 2008, 05:51 PM

VIDEOS! WE NEED VIDEOS! Nice work in making all of that fit. It should run like a raped ape when complete

yup its a Master Power T70... .96 A/R exhaust, It is a stock engine for now hehee... I am actually driving it today and it is pretty violent around 3200 rpm. Its only around 4psi till I can get it up on the dyno. I have an FMU on it until I can put some injectors in it. I really need some tires on this thing now... I'll be at the shop this Sunday to dyno it and I'll video it and post it up for you guys.

Ok there it is, thought maybe you were build and drag car running on battery only. Or some weird driveshaft driven alternator like that crazy NASCAR fuel pump, LOL.

Man thats awesome for only 5.5 lbs. Get a good head gasket in there and that thing should be an monster. Is it a t56 or a tko transmission?

wow awesome work!!

that looks great! a few hours with a wire brush and some paint on the exhaust could do wonders!!

sorry to hear about the HG! =(

Slow_Old_Car · April 21st, 2008, 01:22 PM

going to make any kind of a screamer pipe so that it's not going to atmosphere right around all those lines?

what was up w/ trimming a vacuum hose and then seeing a boost increase?

yea I forgot to order the piping for the dump tube... lol yea thats kinda a cheapy boost controler. If you put a tee with a long vac hose on it (about 2' to start to be safe) between the wastegate and the manifold it acts like a bleeder valve. The longer the hose the less increase in boost or none depending on the length.. the shorter the more it bleeds off and the boost goes up and too short and it goes BOOM!!! lol

makes sense, never seen it done before this though.

deja · April 21st, 2008, 03:37 PM

That sound down right evil! Glad someone else asked about the hose cutting thing, LOL. Bummer about the head gasket, but I guess stock just can't cut it even at 5.5 boost.

N20Jeep · April 21st, 2008, 03:44 PM

badass....cant wait to see this car out on the streets...i remember seeing this thing parked out infront of stage6 for the longest time..

yea, I kinda failed to mention that it did overheat slightly before this and that may have contributed to the outcome.... They should hold somewhere around 8-10psi but this again is an ASSumption.. lol

yea I worked there for a while in the Argyle location... I have seen your screen name on a few of the local boards aswell..

dts300z · April 23rd, 2008, 07:27 PM

Well it looks like 5.5psi is not the limit of the stock head gaskets.... It just split at the coolant passage.... Time for some cometics, stud kit and possibly more goodies.... hehe
