Not to mention when he does swap in the RB for his next project, the FMIC stays. So it isn't just a ghetto budget item, its a good investment.

Period Dot means end of argument, anything said beyond that becomes mute.

Moot.

Dick....

LOL@ hunter-gatherer!

I mean, I did score the complete rb25 swap (out of a s13) for 2350...

Current progress report:

I've had some free time this week, so I've made some good progress. I did install a good fmic, but I'm not going to include the price of it due to the fact that I already had it, so it goes in the category of "shop parts". Also the battery relocation, that was done more in preparation for the rb swap anyway. The manifold is done and mounted, I'll get some pics tonight. The downpipe is about half done, pics of that too. FMU is installed, as well as the walbro. More complete update w/ pics to follow...

I am happy that you are able to get a little piece of turbo heaven for 200 or so bux, and get by until you have a fully built RB25, but it is hardly budget.

BTW, have you checked to make sure that the mani seals? Or are you going to address it when you get it started and find leaks?

You know the worst part of it all, is you will make as much if not more WHP as the CA claims in CHP for that. HA! What a bunch of dopes!

Manifold completed and installed:

With the turbo setting in place:

A couple pics of the beginning of downpipe modification:

FMU installed, but not really mounted yet:

And the sweet pvc (as promised!) cold pipe mocked up :

It should be wrapped up and running tomorrow. Then there'll be plenty of pics and video of the "finished" product.

That pic makes it look like it came from the factory boosted. Well done Aaron.

Are you sure that's an FMU and not a FPR?

Agreed, that looks like a AFPR not a FMU. Are we high?

WD

There do make adjustable FMU's but aren't all FMUs round, since they require the discs?

Wait till you see the completed down pipe, it will dispel all such illusions...

I'm not absolutely sure. That's what he told me, but it has no identifying markings on it, so???

I'm trying to get him to swap in some 370's he has and go with a MAF Bypass and base timing retard for tuning.

-yea im almost positive thats a fuel pressure regulator

good job on ghetto rigging a sohc ka-t! fkin sweetness, props on your custom work

Please remove valve cover tube from cold pipe unless you plan on boosting the crap out of the valvetrain and block insides.....

Although funny to an onlooker it would surely make your entire budget and craftsmanship efforts moot.

Yeah, WD sorry, I'll buy you a beer if you're ever in CT.

Not true, My Enthalpy ecu I have been running at 75psi and Have perfect idle and cruise. I just don't know if it is safe. But in his situation, it might not matter, cause he has the RB waiting.

Looks like something I flushed after a night of Coronas and Taco Bell, but it's cool.

I've seen pvc hydrotested to 90 psi w/o problems..

EDIT: only if that is him in the background.

No idea lol. It's some random pic Dano sent me to replace Brian's (assumed) edit.

After a couple minor issues, the project has been deemed a success! The issues basically consisted of me neglecting to disconnect one of the pcv lines resulting in poor oil drainage characteristics in the turbo drain (think m4d smoking turbo) as well as some oil loss in other places. With that rectified everything seems to be pretty satisfactory. I didn't really have room for the wastegate actuator, so we just wired it shut. We're making max boost of 8 psi at approx 2700-2900 rpm. Here's some pics of everything.

Our sweet temp boost gauge

Apex-i GT exhaust (it came with the RB, so I figured I might as well put it on, it sounds great!).

The FMIC that also came with the RB.

Plumbing, cold pipe side.

REAL FMU installed in there.

Ign coil relocated to former air box location.

Side view of the turbo, showing the drain, supply etc.

The sweet downpipe mentioned before, kinda brutal but no leaks!

And finally, an over-all front view of the turbo.

That's really all there is to it. It took me about a week, working a few evenings and one Saturday. I'll be doing a realistic market value breakdown on everything shortly.

She looks great..

You bet, flogged the heck out of it too.

KA-T why settle for anything less?
