I took off the pipe that goes into the throttle body to do a little cleaning last weekend and I noticed a little bit of oil in there also. I guess it's from oil getting through a gasket and the compressor is blowing through the system. On a sidenote, I didn't clamp the pipe back tight enough and blew it right off on a 3rd gear blast

Congratulations on getting the swap done Glad to hear the delay was just minor. Maybe you could just run a short pipe off the DP and clamp on a resonated tip. That should quiet it down a little bit and it's cheap. You don't have to run it all the way to the back.

That sucks man

KA24DE has the 16 valve DOHC head. No factory turbo but there are kits for both the KA24E and KA24DE.

Do it in red

That combo will fit fine.

I have an 1/8" hole as a vent and it is working fine. I may just put a 1/8" vacuum hose on it and sqeeze the end with a clamp or plastic tie to add some restrictin until I get a brass fitting I could drill. I was also going to check the hobby store if they had any 1/8" aluminum tubing with a small i.d. to use as a restrictor. Another idea was to just cap of the plastic tee and poke a small hole in the plastic with a needle.

Wish I could join you Don but I havn't worked out my bugs yet. Good luck on improving your et.

That happened to me before I just strapped it up as per JTR manual and was back on the road again.

Yeah right Once you feel 10psi you won't want to go back to stock, once you feel 12psi you won't want to go back to 10psi and so on and so on......

I woke at 5:00am to watch that race . I usually wait for the replay but I'm glad I stayed awake for this one. Best F1 race in a long time. That nutcase totally screwed up the running order and made for a lot of passing It was kinda cool to see Toyota running 1 - 2 for a while. What a race by Barrichello though

That first ride is gonna by awesome. I hope everything goes without a hitch Jersey - did you get that email I sent you?

That old 5 series looks sweet in black.

I think you can only change the region if you are playing it on your computer DVD player. You can also buy an all region DVD player. They are always on ebay.

It does feel like a rev limiter but it's weird how it doesn't happen in 1st and 2nd. I guess it only happens under heavier loads. I will go back and clean all the electrical connections again and try messing with the timing a little. I've been wanted to re-wire the fuel pump with the relay and 10ga wire but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. bastaad - I've been reading your posts and I figured our setup will be pretty close. It will be interesting to see how your car does with the 3.90 vs. the 3.54 gearing. The stock fuel tank has been working out fine. The previous owner said the tank was cleaned out and they put baffles in it. I'm not sure if he was BSing cause I didn't really care at the time. I just don't let my fuel level go lower than 1/4 tank. My boost controller is the pressure relief valve with the screw on barb on one side. On the other side I was in a hurry to make so I drilled out the hole on the adjustable side and used JBweld to glue a 1/4" barb cutoff from a plastic tee. Connected that end to a 1/4"x1/4"x1/8" tee. I'm using the 1/8" barb as the pressure relief. Like I said I was in a hurry The tee I was talking about was what I was using before the grainger valve.

I'll send you the audio later tonight. I have to download it to my computer when I get home. Never checked the fuel pressure. I don't have a gauge hooked up yet. I'm gonna check my plugs later and see if it shows anything. Never threaded the actuator arm. I just had a tee in line to purge off some of the signal to the WG actuator. It was a little laggy but it got me 10psi all day and cost me $2.00

Forgot to mention 3.54 diff and 25.1" tall tires. Is it normal that I'm barely getting into 4th with this combo. I have the stock DP with a 3" section that goes to a 2.5" crush bent exhaust (1st on the mod list).

It's a stock L28et with stock efi, mkIII supra ic, 1G eclipse BOV, ACT clutch with ZX tranny and 240mm flywheel. My gas tank is the stock '71 with the feed line at the drain plug and I had half a tank of gas. Fuel pump is stock running stock pressure. Boost seems to stay consistent when the rpms fluctuate but I'm not 100% positive. I have cleaned the ecu connections 2 or 3 months ago.

Went to the track last night to get a few runs in and get the car dialed in. This was my first time at the track in at least 5 years and the first time with my turbo 240 so I needed a few runs to practice and really get the car dialed in. Problem is there were so many cars at the track that I was allowed to run 1 practice run On the practice run I wasn't expecting anything spectacular. Just wanted to get a feel for what the car would do at 10psi with the shift light set at 5600rpm. Launch was okay but not great. Managed a 2.1X 60ft time. Boost peaked at about 11 or 12 and settled aroud 10psi. My shifting on this run really sucked. I was basically shifting like I do on the street and not banging it through the gears. The real problem was the top of third gear. When I got close to 5000rpm, my rpm wouldn't climb steadily. It was cycling up and down. It was like I hit a rev limiter but it only happened in third gear I ended up going through the trap still in third with a 15.1 at only 85mph (still beat the camaro I was up against ) I figured even with the problem in third, if I shift a little faster and sooner (felt flat at 5600) I would definatley be in the 14s. Second run was eliminations already. I just installed my grainger valve at lunchtime and didn't have time to dial it in yet (was hoping to do that with practice runs). So I just tightened it down a little hoping to get 12-14psi. I staged and was reving the engine and somehow I must have rolled forward a little and triped the light. I didn't think the other car (300ZX TT) staged yet and I thought I could re-stage but he took off already and basically I was eliminated. Good news was the second run felt much better. I shifted at 5200 and scratched every gear change. ACT clutch definatly grabs. Still had the problem in third gear but I uped my mph to 92. Boost was still at 10psi. Any idea what the problem in third might be (timing, fuel, AFM, TPS?) I have the audio if anyone needs it to diagnose the problem. Another weird thing is on the way home without changing anything, I was boosting 14-15psi with no problem. Car felt quicker than it's ever been

I just made a similar one with parts from Grainger. I'm gonna hook it up today and head out to the track. I'll let you know hoe it works out.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking when I said sloting it radially. I think it would be fully constrained as long as it is done on a mill. The reason I was asking this is because I sometimes run into older 15" 0 offset wheels, like the ones for the older mustangs, for pretty cheap and since the bolt diameters are so close we should be able to adapt it to our cars. Does anyone know how much a machine shop would charge to slot the holes?

Has anyone tried slotting the bolt holes on a 4x110 wheel to fit a 4x114.3 bolt pattern? It would only have to be slotted .085" which doesn't seem like much. They would be slotted radially outward so I don't think there would be any movement since there are always 2 bolts preventing lateral movement. Any comments?

okay, it's too soon for football talk and I want no part of your car Don

I got greedy too It is a quick and easy way to get some performance out of your n/a engine. You'll love it when you get that extra kick.
