91986, Finally done upgrading! pics inside. Posted by eclipse982nrRST, Dec-12-05 03:23 AM
Well after about 2 months of searching for and buying parts, my turbo/fuel upgrading is finally just about complete. I still have a couple of tweeks that need done, but for the most part, its done. I had Terry custom make me his design of the 3" downpipe and dumptube for the wastegate and let me tell you, its simply amazing! The quality is just perfect, Thanks again Terry! Now for what I upgraded to:
-Turbonetics 60-1 t3/t4 turbo -Huge 28"x14"x3" intercooler -All 2.5" Intercooler piping -Greddy Type RS bov -Accel 48lb injectors -Bored out OBX Fuel rail -Tial 38mm Wastegate -Ceramic coated silver manifold and downpipe -Custom 3" Test pipe
Now combine this combo with my recent rebuild of my head: -Ported and Polished head -5 angle valve job -Crane 14 turbo cams -Crane titanium valve springs -Crane titanium retainers -Stainless +1 oversized valves -AEM cam gears
I cannot WAIT until spring to get the widebody back onto the road again, this motor should pull SUPER hard and spool up VERY quickly!
Enjoy some crappy pics I took:

Wow man, great job, it looks great, very clean. When spring comes you should put in on the dyno also, id like to see the numbers it puts out.

Glad your happy Mike. Wait till you see the difference the 3" makes on spool up. If you kept the 63 turbine housing, you are gonna love the train whistle!
I guess 6 hours of my labor and tearign my own car apart couldnt warrent better picts! Show the lower section of the DP.......That sucker is a beast isnt it?

That is the same pipe Mike has
Terry

damn that looks pretty sick, can't wait to get some numbers on that.
oh and i think he was talking about the pipe on the left linking the top to the bottom

sorry i could not make out the pic. yeah i thought you went the short rout with your pipes and had a extra pipe comming out the top driverside of your ic. but you did what i did and used a u bend on the pas. side.
my bad.
just a question about your 3 inch dp. i run a 2.5 with a cutout over before the cat. how do you think the two compare?

nice ! your downpipe is sick . love where the wastegate dumps in too . dude your oil return on the pan looks pretty low tho .
|
92031, RE: Finally done upgrading! pics inside. Posted by Star Turbo Talon, Dec-12-05 03:25 AM
The oil reurn did end up being low, not a problem however. The oil is not going to back up to the turbo and cause problems. Keeping the oil return high is just a rule of thumb. If the oil return is too small the oil can back up to the turbo. 1/2 or bigger will not though.

Looking good man, and very nice job on the DP Star!
I might have to have you make me a 3" DP w/flex section when it comes time here pretty soon.

Engine looks good, real good, but are you ever going to get a camera that doesn't suck ass? :D

Oh well, the motor will haul balls

too bad you wasted money on two of those items in the pics.

w0o0t
Your setup looks similiar to mine... minus 3 items.
Cant wait to see that thing go! I hate the snow and 1* weather just as much as you do. I'm migrating south, wanna come? (Yes last night was one degree above.)

which would be what?

92115, RE: Finally done upgrading! pics inside. Posted by siueclipse, Dec-15-05 11:14 AM
the fuel rail and the venom intake do absolutely nothing for you execept hurt your performance.
|
92123, RE: Finally done upgrading! pics inside. Posted by DSMRoadster, Dec-15-05 04:16 PM
I'm gonna have to concur, but your setup and car looks absolutely beautiful. I've watched the progress over the years, and you're doing good.

Thanks.
And for the record James, you didnt use a Venom Intake so how do you know it did nothing? Actually, when I put it on, I did feel more top end power. For the fuel rail, I got it becuz it was free and I could bore it out more than the stocker....

92132, RE: Finally done upgrading! pics inside. Posted by Star Turbo Talon, Dec-16-05 08:27 AM
if you bored the OBX out to 9/16 you have a -6an rail, nothing wrong with it. Not like the alum in one rail is better than another.

92241, RE: Finally done upgrading! pics inside. Posted by whodatt1, Dec-22-05 04:59 AM
Nice set up.. although from personal experience, i would drop the venom. but up to you. let us know how it runs in the spring. What do you have controling ignition, timing and fuel?
