BLOZ UP Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Looks good. You're opting for an offset turbo mount.... that's what I should have done. I need to do my suspension... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vgwagon Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Looks good. You're opting for an offset turbo mount.... that's what I should have done. I need to do my suspension... Yeah, just for simplicities sake, my manifolds don't look like works of art like yours do.....now I need to find a v-band adapter that fits the HY35 exhaust outlet so that I can route the down pipe. Progress is progress so I'm not complaining. Love your new gauge setup, how does that speedo work through tunnels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progress is progress so I'm not complaining. Love your new gauge setup, how does that speedo work through tunnels? Ha! Thanks. I know of all the bad spots on mine though and made sure to not get too close in the photos. As for the gauge, I like it a lot, it's very accurate to, say, +/- .2mph. More than I was expecting, anyway. However, on a couple occasions it has failed to get a GPS lock and required the power to be cycled to get it. May be my wiring. Haven't looked at it a lot. Only got 50 miles on the new odometer before I had to store the car. I like the tach and it's shift lights. Problem is, I also have an ignition problem that prevents me from activating them. Well, I could go on about all the issues I've got--but the car's 1500 miles away at the moment. Soon, very soon, I'll be able to ship it over and enjoy it. Just in time to store it here for the NJ winter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vgwagon Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Got a bunch of stuff done, still a long ways to go but it's getting there. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150324137365249.567065.822295248&type=1&l=83747c835f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vgwagon Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Some updates, I've fallen way behind with updates so I'll just jump to where I'm at now.Brakes are fully functional now, park brake operational, clutch operational, tackling the wiring clean-up and still have to finish the wastegate dump tube, the remainder of the exhaust which the back half will be full aluminum, fuel lines need to be run, fuel tank in the process of being built, fuel pump and level sensor to be installed, coolant plumbing and induction still need to be hammered out........it's a long list.Found a cool gauge in the aem line.....it's a wide band and boost gauge in one. pretty cool. I've uploaded a few pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarkie Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 How do those exhaust manifolds connect? Haven't seen a turbo setup like that before.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbias Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 It shows how it connects in the photos wow it looks like a really tight fit, nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOZ UP Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Do you have more pictures of your thermostat inlet pipe you welded up? I should redo mine since it's butt ugly. Although, it doesn't leak. Yet. It looks like without the timing cover you have a bit more room. Doh, why didn't I notch the cover at least... And, where did you source that bracket for the top of the alternator? Mine also could be redone... Butt ugly.... Yadda yadda.

vgwagon Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 I can take more pictures of the thermostat inlet, just tell me what angles you'd like.....it's a close fit to the alt belt......maybe 1/2 inch or so the upper coolant neck turned out sweet, just perfect. The alternator was given to me along with the bracket witha bunch of VG33 parts so I originally assumed it was from a vg33....when I tried to use it on my wagon it wouldn't fit, so I asked the guy I got the stuff from and he said it was from an SR20...so I really don't know. the aletrnator was perfect as I was able to take a big bite out of it to clear my exhaust manifold. I redrilled and tapped the bolt boss in the head to mount the bracket bolt with something a little larger than a fender bolt, ended up working out perfectly.....sometimes it pays to hang on to shit. in the process of waiting for my fuel tank to be made, then it should be really close. What did your VG S30 finally dyno? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOZ UP Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I see. How close is it to the water pump/block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vgwagon Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 The picture makes it look like it's close to the water pump, it actually angles away from it. It's not very close to the block or the water pump. I just got my fuel tank from the fabricator, now I need to get new straps made as they are 2 inches to short. it's getting close.

BLOZ UP Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Got pics of your tank? I paid 400 for a sump to be added to mine and it's a leaky, rusting POS now. Should have had it cleaned and done the welding/painting myself, as usual. So, notching that timing cover is such a obvious solution. I can't believe I didn't think of that when I was making that damned ghetto pipe of mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
