janaka Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Thanks dude, Ya they are HTR Z's. I have no complains with these tires, and would definitely buy them again. The freakin price is right! Ya I agree on the price/value. I have them out back in 245/45/16's and I think I paid like $73 for them. The tread design sticks out to me so I thought I'd make sure I saw what I saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo1jz Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 yah, what size tires are those on the front sportmax wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwiplarkin Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 i checked out that mcmaster website and im curious of which butt welds you used? small diameter, big diameter ,length, and thickness. also where did you get the manifold flange? i read somewhere once that do to heat expansion with a stainless steel flange you should cut a line between each runner on the flange, if not the manifold bolts could shear off. just something i thought of while looking at your pics.

schwiplarkin Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 im sorry, i just started reading the thread over again for the second time and i realized that you already answered my question, except for the header flange. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtGT4g63 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 LS1 Header flanges PN 12480130 - 23.40$ x 2 = 46.80$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dts300z Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Very nice build! Can't wait to see some more video's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtGT4g63 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 yah, what size tires are those on the front sportmax wheels? Front tires are 245 - 45 - 16 Update please! Well I ended up having to redo the exhaust, it was hanging WAY too low. Tuesday my O2 sensors should arrive, then I'll be able to take the car out and do a little tuning. Trust me, video's will happen as soon as the car is video worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtGT4g63 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 This just in... I got my new O2 sensors installed and was actually able to drive the car!!! WAHOOO!!! BTW, the turbo sounds amazing. Now for my next set of issues... Smoke out the tail pipe under any boost. I can have the boost gauge at "zero" at any rpm, but the second I see 1psi + I get smoke. I need to get myself a catch can, boost in the crank case is bad. I also need to adjust the oil return line a little so its at a constant downward angle, and install my oil feed line restrictor once it comes in. So this coming week end i'll work on that stuff, as well as get the injectors installed and hopefully converted to speed density. Actually driving the car and hearing the turbo spool was worth the entire wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Meister Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I need to get myself a catch can, boost in the crank case is bad. Had the same problem until I let the engine breathe.... The CC pressure is not allowing the oil to drain from the turbo into the oil pan. The oil backs up inside the turbo and slips by the seal to enter the exhaust. "Instant Mosquito Fogger".

Looking at the picture in post #57, it looks like the valve cover is vented to the throttle body. That would be OK in a NA application, but wouldn't boost pressurize the crankcase it this case?

ColtGT4g63 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 yup, you guys are right. and yes, that line in the picture needs to go to a catch can for sure. This is all stuff that I'll be working on this weekend. After I stop doing James bond smoke screens down the road I'll make a little video and post up.

ColtGT4g63 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Okay, I re-routed the PCV lines, added an oil feed restricter and took the car out for a spin, NO SMOKE!! WHAHOO! So I installed my 60# injectors, and went out for a little cruise. Ya, the video sucks but you can get an idea of how loud the turbo is, and how fast it spools. So far, this China turbo is doing an alright job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
