Sparky Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 holy schmoly it started and ran today! i even got to drive it down the street and Back!!!! turns out that the ignition realy was not properly grounded! causing all sorts of muck for the ECU.. go figure right...12 hourse of frustration over a silly ground wire....lol...o well. all i can say is that the turbo sounds MEAN...while i only drove under moderate load at low RPM...i can hear it start to spool up...but it doesnt want to make boost just yet. so enough of my crap and on with the pics!!!! here she is running and again front view: the intercooler slant: the FPR: the BOV throttle body..and other goodies and the 3" downpipe so anywho...sorry for wasting your bandwidth! but man im happier than a pig in.....ummm...Zcars!! ha-ha! now its off the the body shop! laterZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted June 8, 2002 Author Share Posted June 8, 2002 hey guys....beleive it or not...my body guy is working on the car right now...11pm! i gonna pay this guy double if he gets the car done....well...maybe not...but ill least buy him a cheeseburger! to answer some questions....first the colour: its called amber fire pearl. a stock jeep/chrysler product....i dont see much of this colour..but when i do i think ZZZZZZZ yo2001...i have to really drive her...so its still up in the air as what kind of flow we are going to get out of the IC. the guys at CarTech (corky bell and crew) did all the welding and where very impressed with the core. saying something to the effect that they wish they could get thier hands on some (so im guessing that it must be good. scotty: im glad to hear you got yours running. ive been following your progress as a motovation for my project. the turbo is a "hybrid" of sorts. Mr. bell built this turbo some time ago for a 280Z drag car. its a turbonetics T04B exhaust side with a rajay T3 compressor side. trim specs are unknown to me at this time. maybe he will find them some day. but it supose to flow in the 400HP range. and thats good enough for now all i want to do is drive the thing! ohh...and kick some ass! laterZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 ooooooh, I bet since Bell fixed you up, your car will be right. Hurry up and get that thing broken in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
