You have the same mani as me then I believe, lol. Just a bigger turbo, Haha

Yeah we will see if we can get 475 on pump with a sweet power curve

Worked on some IC pipe routing today. Need to cut some more piping tomorrow to continue...

hay want to make two of those hot pipe i will buy one from you, i have been searching and searching and trying to figure out what pieces to buy or how to run them for a hot pipe to connect into my greddy ls intercooler and havent really found anything

also your turbo lout let pipe does it clear the steering shaft and the crank case vent pipe easily

oh and what turbo lines and oil return did you go with

I just bought a couple sections of bends (2.25") and am cutting them and welding. I bought a 45 degree and a 180 degree J bend. All .063" wall 6061-t6 AL. I also cut the stock Greddy hotpipe that goes from the core to the fender so I can rotate it to come out the side of the frame rail instead of up through the fender. I'm also using a 2" to 2.25" 45 degree coupler off the turbo and either a 45 degree or straight 2.25" coupler to go between the modified greddy pipe and my custom hot pipe. After I get them made, I might model them and put them into a drawing and see if I can get them made via CNC Mandrel Bending to cut out the welds.

For the hole, I used a 2.75" hole saw on my 1/2 drill. Going to get some edge trim to put along the edge of the hole to make it look cleaner and protect the soft AL piping.

Are you talking about the turbo elbow pipe (the upper downpipe)? If so, it's just the Full-Race part and yes it clears everything. I also recirculate my 44mm WG into the Lower DP.

I made all of my own lines except the oil feed line. It's super easy, lol. I got my supplies from Summit racing, and you really don't need the "special tools" and what not.

well i found a welding shop that i am going get to help fab some intercooler piping. do you have a a list of the parts that u got for making the lines your self

Sweet deal! Off the top of my head (all -6 an stuff), 3 swivel 90 degree fittings, one straight fitting, hose, and a swivel extension for the block side coolant port. I also ran an S14 Coolant pipe (the one that goes under the CAS) so I can run a coolant line there, and I cut off the wrap around pipe that goes behind the head. Now both my heater hoses are the same and fit correctly. No more 180 crap behind the head, ha ha.

Yeah I would like to get rid of that collant bend also. So even,the oil return line was -6 an into the block.

idahotuner wrote:Yeah I would like to get rid of that collant bend also. So even,the oil return line was -6 an into the block.

No, I used a standard 5/8 High temp heater hose with AL exhaust tape wrapped around it as a temp drain. I plan on doing a nice trick oil PCV setup with that integrated in it, so I am leaving it alone for now until i have the time/money to get it designed and made.

awe, yeah well i am forking out for some parts lol. mazworx turbo lines and a second down pipe lol,just got to sell some stuff i have. to make up for it. lol trying to get the car to walla walla for a dyno before it snows. whats your fuel set up again

Stock fuel rail, Tomei Sdj FPR, Tomei/Nismo 740CC injectors (going to limit power, I know, lol), Walbro 255 pump. Going to rewire the fuel pump soon due to the crap wiring from the factory. Next year, I'm planning on a fuel cell, top feed rail with larger injectors. Also going dry sump next year, with my own design engine mounts to set the motor further back and lower than it currently is (as much as I can without being set for failure, lol).

yeah i am going to re wire my fuel pump here to, just waiting for my 2nd pump to come in and i will do them at the same time. you know what wires and stuff for hardwiring, i have been reading all over about them, mostly think i will by pas the plug and use the signal wire going to a new relay straight from the battery then use the same signal wire going to a 2nd relay for my 2nd fuel pump

I haven't done too much looking into it yet, but basically what my plan is; is to wire in a cable directly from battery, operated by a relay with the ignition signal wire, to the pump. So basically what you have in mind, ha ha. I'm also going to relocate my battery eventually to the rear just before the rear "axle".

I was going relocate mine to, but then I got an xray machine battery, thing has some cranking amps, for free. When they replace one them they have to replace all of them. and it fits perfectly on the battery,tray with th we intercooler piping.

Awesome! lol. I just have a miata battery currently in front. However, I'd like the weight to be more rearward for weight balance reasons.

Not much of an update I know, but here's a pic as of tonight, lol (sorry for the crap cell phone camera).



I've decided to redo my downpipe, so I'll be making my own. After making my own IC piping, this stuff is easy, ha ha.

what!!! i would have bought yours from you but i just ordered one from fulrace

idahotuner wrote:what!!! i would have bought yours from you but i just ordered one from fulrace

Lol, I'm talking about the downpipe, not the turbo elbow that Full-Race calls a DP. Also, for the money and fitment, the Full-Race "Downpipe" isn't that great. The o2 bungs are in crap locations (the lower two), causing the sensors to be VERY close to rubbing on something no matter how you orient it.

awe, well bungs i can relocate

idahotuner wrote:awe, well bungs i can relocate

True, but for how much they charge for the damn thing, you'd expect it to fit perfectly, ha ha.

yeah kinda sucks huh. i have one sitting here that i think i could have gotten to work by just welding a vband fitting onto it, but i didnt want to spend the money for the fitting and then have it welded and then have it not work. so when will your car be going again, i sent out for my tune today, so just waiting on that and my down pipe, then its like one huge puzzle lol

It's all about money for me, lol. I have all the parts I need already, just need to save the money for the tune. I know I still have work to do before everything is ready to get tuned, but it'll be done before I have the money to tune it! Things keep coming up that I have to spend my car fund on. Just recently is $350 for a vet bill for the cat...

What are u using to tune it. I figured I will run an Enthalpy tune for now. And then drive it some where for a Dyno tune using either arm or pfc

idahotuner wrote:What are u using to tune it. I figured I will run an Enthalpy tune for now. And then drive it some where for a Dyno tune using either arm or pfc

Using a v1 AEM EMS (speed density).

Were do you go to get that tuned? I am only going run an Enthalpy tune to get my car to a shop were I can get it tuned.

idahotuner wrote:Were do you go to get that tuned? I am only going run an Enthalpy tune to get my car to a shop were I can get it tuned.

Portland, lol. There are plenty of shops to choose from for tuning here. I'm leaning towards Forged Performance for my tune now. I was going to do Portland Speed Industries, but have lived here long enough to hear "things" about them that make me choose otherwise. Forged has an AWD Mustang Dyno as well, so I can use them later on for my Celica Alltrac, ha ha. I also prefer mustang dynos.

lol my budy is building an alltrac, there is an awd dyno in walla walla but no one to tune, so maybe next spring i will have to go down there to portland for a tune.

Nice! Let him know to sing up on 3SGTE.net! lol. I hate to admit it, but the 3SGTE sounds a lot nicer than an SR20DET. At least in stock form with just an exhaust.
