DAMN SNAILS!!!

[dj_hype]

Yeah so, I had my car at my dads house changin my flux capacitor and I come back and theres this damn snail sitting on my exhaust mani!!! I was like, WTF?! But, i decided to keep him. I named him Garrett T3 .42a/r. :



Yes yes, another louisiana turbocharged ka is done. Well, mostly. Im getting my cold pipe welded monday (bov flanges, etc) and then after that my exhaust will be made. I already have my dp but a friend of mine that owns a muffler shop (handy to have a friend like that) is going to make new piping from the DP back. Also having my wideband installed in my DP on monday. Heres the specs, I don't know a whole lot about the turbo as it was free.

I'm pretty sure thats it. So yeah, i know its not pretty nor is it the best but, i'm only into it for ~$1800 and my car will soon go wheeeeeeeee SPOOOOOOOSH!!!!!! peace.

UPDATED!!!I tuned my car the other night. Runnin 7psi with 9.9-10.4 afr's. I know, rich, like RX-7 numbers. But, I'm doin that until I get a heat shield made up to keep some heat off the BMC. Car pulls tho, way more compared to stock. Check the link for finalized pictures.http://www.hyper-productions.net/pics/done.html

looks nice! how much did you spend on your IC, and how much did you end up getting the piping for on ebay?

btw, i love that IC mounting

[Thursday]

is that the $102 piping kit? What did you think of it?

[dj_hype]

yeah its the $102 piping kit. cost me 146 after shipping. worked good, i just needed one more 90* which i used from my old CAI system.

lol, the zipties were temporary. it's held up by 1/4" thick flat bar.

[240DRFT]

looks nice. are u gonna dyno it?

what year saab's have that turbo?

[Nick240sx]

[srdrps13]

lol first time ive heard the term "snail" people around here call it a turbo =)

just save up and get something bigger in the future... my t25 is fine for me now lol

[91RMKS13]

pretty bas a$$ man especialy for the money. and i would think the t3 would be fine for just about anything the stock pistons could handle.so i say congrats.

[blckkat]

what was wrong with your old flux capaciter that you had to change it????

[dj_hype]

thanks for the compliments yall. i'm happy with the t3. spools insanely fast.

as for my old flux capcaitor well, the bearings on the rotator splint went bad as well as my stage 3 4puck contact ring. but yeah, **** happens.

[SLde_Show_Enthusiast]

retune it!...afr in the 10s are to0 rich!

nice ka-t..

[KATwo40]

retune it!...afr in the 10s are to0 rich!

nice ka-t..

Agreed. Should be in the 12-12.5 range.

[dj_hype]

nice ka-t..

shut up kim, u helped me tune it. lol. when u come up wednesday and we swap those cams and get that heat shield made up we'll retune for 11.8-12's.

[SLde_Show_Enthusiast]

Agreed. Should be in the 12-12.5 range.

12.5s?...i try to keep mine below 12s... some where in the 11-11.8 rainge...daily driving, drifting, autoxing.....i feel kind of worried keeping it over 12s on a stock motor...

or..should i be ok?

eric...when i come up..we'll up the boost and retune it...remind me to retard your timing to0...

o yea...go borrow a timing gun

[s86d]

wow cut some sheet metal and buy some bolts at ace hardware and fix the zipstrip disaster. I only say this because you will end up kicking car on the side of the road like I once did because IC bit the dust

I run a T3/T04E, 370's, SAFC2, walbro255, stock MAF, base timing at 15*, 8psi daily driven. My AFR's are in the mid 12's. No ill effects.

really? well, i guess i'll leave mine where they are..

[WDRacing]

I agree, especially at such a low boost. If you stay at 7-8 psi you may not even need to retard the timing at all. But safety is best. So if you do retard your timing, lean that baby out or you may just wash the oil from the cylinders with all that fuel and due some real damage, I've seen it done.

If your worried, I ran mine for a few weeks in the 11.5 range on boost. But real power comes in at 12.5 or so.

Very nice job man. I don't know what rock everyone has been hiding under, but I'm from Boston and I've heard the term "snail", they say it here in AZ and they use it alot in Okinawa.

Oh, I get it, Super Street doesn't say snail...LMAO.

well my setup is differnt than dj_hypes(eric)...bigger turbo(t3/to4), injectors(480s), maf(z), and more boost on a stock motor...im at 12psi daily driving..timing retarded to 14-15degrees base....and im trying 2 keep my afr at 11.5-11.8...maybe even 12s...duno wut 2 do...
